In 1964 my late father, Beaudry Glen Pautz, accepted a job as Press Officer for the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) in Pretoria, South Africa. It was the start of the Cold War "space race", the CSIR collaborated with the Americans and Beau received a lot of space programme material and press kits from NASA. I still have most of those historic documents in my collection. Here's a selection of them.

I captured these images in Pretoria using an old HP flatbed scanner.

Also see this great piece on Time Magazine's special issue entitled "To the Moon and Back" published two weeks after the Apollo 11 landing. Back in 1969 I created a great scrapbook of the landing that I still treasure to this day.

Pierre-Paul Beaumont photo. "The last man on the moon mission": I met during the Apollo 17 mission, many journalists who covered the events of the NASA, since Mercury program and they told me that the launch of Apollo 17 was the most impressive event they saw their lives. Anyone who witnessed the launch of Apollo 17, can not forget. NASA was for me, very collaborative and available to access all the site visits and information and meetings. Happy 40th Birthday to Apollo 17 and NASA. It was a wonderful time in emotions. Dan Beaumont, danbeaumont@videotron.ca, (Dan Beaumont Space Museum on You Tube). www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yIvOYFOm6c

Revolution 1 pass over the landing site.

Using the spectacular LPI site, with knowledge of where Apollo 17 landed, in conjunction with using the legend - you can find the outline of this photographed area on map linked below. Understandably, the lines in this particular area are a little congested, but it's in there:

"First on the Moon" is the story of Apollo 11 and the personal experiences of the three astronauts who put man on the moon. The voyage begins with President Kennedy's pronouncement on May 25, 1961, that the United States would put man on the moon before the decade was out, and continues through the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo programs.

We could walk forever

Walking on the moon

We could live together

Walking on, walking on the moon

Found this on the Internet. It is a great reference tool for those nights when you are moon gazing. Plan to hand it out during star parties.
