To include the 50th Anniversary of the moon landing this week on NLA: Something you may not know?
The Hollywood Walk of Fame has this star:
Walk of Fame
Well, it's not a star, it's a moon! And there are 4 of them!
According to the Walk of Fame website:
On the four sidewalk corners at the intersection of Hollywood and Vine, four similar commemorative dedications mark the Apollo XI Mission within moon-like circular plaques. Each plaque contains the names of Commander Neil A. Armstrong, Lunar Module Pilot Edwin E. Aldrin Jr., Command Module Pilot Michael Collins – the astronauts who were aboard the spaceflight that landed the first two people who walked on the Moon. The circular plaques include the date of the first Moon landing 7/20/69, and name of the mission Apollo XI. On the plaques, the moons are in silver and grey terrazzo circles rimmed in brass on a square pink terrazzo background, with the television emblem inlaid at the top of each circle.
“The telecast from the moon was the single most-important live TV broadcast ever!” said Ana Martinez, Producer of the Hollywood Walk of Fame. “The bronze markers were set in all four corners of the intersection within the terrazzo sidewalks to represent their reach to the four corners of the world,” Martinez said.
In looking up information, I found a discrepancy. The Official Walk of Fame website (
HERE) says the star ceremony was held July 20, 1973. This Los Angeles Times article (
HERE) seems to indicate it was January 14, 1993. The Walk of Fame website does have a star ceremony listed for Michael Collins, one of the astronauts of Apollo 11 on the 1993 date. (?) But they have no separate entries for Armstrong or Aldrin?
So I'm confused.
