Spacecraft came through. All is good. This is fantastic!
Reminds me of when I volunteered to work late and record live the first landing on the moon when I was in the Army. Exciting!

Does this tape still exist?Video, live off the air. The VCR used 2" tape and was as big as a washing machine. Yes. It was a studio machine.

uly 2019 marks the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon landing, a feat so breathtaking in its scope and ambition that it captured the collective imaginations of audiences around the world. At the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum, we use the power of real objects to tell stories like this one – stories of the vision, intellect, and courage of men and women who have overcome challenges and pushed boundaries to take the next giant leap for humankind. For the Smithsonian’s first-ever Kickstarter campaign, we are proud to announce plans to conserve, digitize, and display Neil Armstrong’s Apollo 11 spacesuit in time for this milestone anniversary. We want to preserve Armstrong’s spacesuit – and the story it tells of its incredible journey – down to the particles of lunar dust that cling to its surface. Just like the Apollo program, we will accomplish this in collaboration of thousands of people across the country and around the world. And that’s where you come in.

Very interesting news about the EM drive. How is this possible? NASA Defies the Laws of Physics, Says Their 'Impossible' EM Drive Actually Works

Oh, I'm sure at my age (65) I won't get to hop on NASA's EM transwarp spaceship in my lifetime. What I find fascinating is that there is a phenomenon that seems to defy known laws of physics. I certainly hope this does not turn out to be one of those crack pot perpetual motion machine sagas...There are plenty of media stories surrounding this that too easily extrapolate what one NASA team is examining to mean that this is some sort of secret warp drive technology that NASA is pursuing. The jury is still out on this tech. Even if the physical phenomina can be proven, it's still fusion energy timescales (always 30 years out) from being practical.

In case you're wondering, getting and staying in orbit requires a lot more energy than just a quick trip up and down.
Here's as good explaination. Basically, the vehicle needs speed - lots and lots of speed - so it can fall around the Earth.
