Tor.com Anniversary Giveaway #8: From the Earth to the Moon and a Lunar Lander model kit

Management Services

The Prize: Two prizes in one! The first is a DVD set of From the Earth to the Moon, a 12-part HBO miniseries about the Apollo missions. The second is a InAir E-Z Build Model Kit - Lunar Lander with Moon Rover (that’s a mouthful—just think of it as a complimentary toy).

The Rules: To get this giveaway, all you need to do is comment (once—duplicates won’t count) on this post. The winner will be selected at random. You have until 12pm EST on Tuesday, July 21st, to comment here. No geographic restrictions apply. You may enter yourself to win as many of these giveaways as you’d like, but if you are randomly selected as the winner you are ineligible to receive any others, so make sure to pick the ones you want!

I've always been meaning to either watch more HBO (especially a miniseries) or build a model of something. Even if I don't win, these are two products I'd seriously considering buying. Happy Monday!

Fly me to the moon
Let me sing among those stars
Let me see what spring is like
On jupiter and mars

In other words, hold my hand
In other words, baby kiss me

Fill my heart with song
Let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore

In other words, please be true
In other words, I love you

This may be odd, from an admitted addict to television and movies, but honestly, I'd rather have those models than anything else. When I was a kid, and I watched the moon landing, I was tiny, but my folks bought me model kits, and my elder brother would help me (okay, did most of the work, I was only 4) put them together, and I'd play with them until they'd fall apart, and then I'd get new ones. Even though the memory of the missions is something wonderful, the memory of those models is just more personal and warm to me. I don't think I'll win anything, I rarely do, but it's a nice thought, just the same.

Now, at 55, I wonder why so many of us have forgotten to dream. Whoever wins these DVDs, you who come to tor.com, at least you're the ones who haven't forgotten what it's like.

I was sixteen in 1969. I watched on television as Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldren walked on the moon, but I kept running outside to look at the moon in the sky and think "There are guys ON THE MOON walking around RIGHT NOW" then dashing back in to see them on TV. Incredible.

As a kid (I was not quite 13 when we landed), I followed all the space shots and knew all the astronauts names, as well as their missions. I even built my own lunar lander model, taking it with me on a family vacation 'up north' to visit relatives in Michigan.

To echo Robert Silverberg's post, I get a little misty eyed thinking about what we accomplished... and then lost. Maybe one of these days ~ Mars!
