Chairman and ceo of the fox news channel roger ales was there too. >> they called me in to help coordinate the coverage of armstrongs landing on the moon, and i think they were going to cutback and forth between the president in the oval office and armstrong on the moon because they had a camera up there. when i realize they have a camera up there with a feed, i was just coordinating network coverage, nasa produced the event, i just showed up to try to let the american people see it, but i was w...

Network coverage hour for this instead. look. to be announced. their big surprise. a to be announced speaker. a surprise, wow, and then of course, they blew the surprise. word about who it was going to be leaked out a day early so there was no suspense at all about who the suspenseful speaker would be, but apparently they thought it was going to be so good, this speaker was going to be so good, it was worth putting this on during network coverage of the final night of the nominating convention i...
