July 20 marks the 50th
anniversary of the first landing of human beings on another planetary
body, the Earth's Moon. For those of you who were alive back then and
observed this historic event, NASA wants to hear from you---or, if
you were too young to remember this event, perhaps you can send an
interview of a family member who did experience the excitement of
watching history-in-the-making!
NASA is starting an Oral History
Project seeking vocal comments from Americans who observed the first
steps of American astronauts on the Moon, which culminated the 1960s
Space Race in which the United States beat Russia to the Moon. This
Oral History Project will continue for the rest of the year, with
submission recordings due by 2019 December 31.
However, for those who can submit
their recorded comments before June 14, those comments may be
included in NASA Explorers: Apollo, a special NASA
“commemorative audio series that examines the Moon’s cultural and
scientific influence over the last half century, while also peering
into the future of planetary exploration.”
For those of you too young to remember
the Apollo Moon Landings, you can still participate in this project.
Perhaps your parents, grandparents, or other relatives or friends
remember this historic event. You could interview them and send that
recording or recordings to NASA.
All of these recorded comments and
interviews will be archived as part of the NASA Explorers: Apollo
Oral History Project. And, NASA
will use some of these recordings for the commemorative audio series,
posted on the NASA web-site, and posted on NASA's social media
platforms.
Send
the completed recording(s) to the following e-mail address:
The
following are guidelines and suggestions from NASA for completing the
recordings and submitting your stories to NASA ---
How to record and submit your story
The deadline to submit your story to the Oral History Project is 2019 December 31. However, submissions received before 2019 June 14 will have the best chance at being featured within the audio series.- Open the voice recording app on your mobile device. If you don’t have one, there are several free options you can download from your preferred app store.
- Record your story or interview. Try to follow the recording tips and guidelines below.
- Email your audio file to apollostories@mail.nasa.gov. In the text of your email, include your full name, your hometown and state. If you interviewed someone, please include their full name and hometown as well. Include any information you think helps give context to your story. (“I interviewed my grandma. She was 15 years old when the astronauts landed on the Moon …”).
- Keep an eye on your in-box. You’ll receive
a thank-you email from us and we may follow up to get more detail or
clarify something in your story.
Recording tips and guidelines
- Try to keep your answers to each question under 120 seconds. Shorter stories will have a greater chance of being featured within NASA’s Apollo audio series, but longer stories may still be featured on nasa.gov or social media as a part of the Oral History Project.
- Start the recording by introducing yourself and telling us where you’re from. If you’re interviewing someone, do the same for them. We want to give you credit for the story!
- Hold the recording device at least 6 inches from your face, or simply place it on a table in front of you or between you and the person you’re interviewing.
- Allow for a natural pause between questions and answers.
- Preferred audio file formats are .mp3, .mp4, .m4a or .wav.
- What does exploration mean to you?
- What do you think it would be like to see humans walk on the Moon again?
- When you think of the Moon, what comes to mind?
- What do you want to know about the Moon?
- Where were you when humans walked on the Moon for the first time? Describe who you were with, what you were thinking, the atmosphere and how you were feeling.
- What was your life like in 1969?
- Do you remember learning about space in school? If so, what
do you remember?
