Karen's Time Capsule

[barondave]

minnehaha K made a time capsule when she was 9 (or so she remembered) and opened it at Minicon 43. Here we see what she buried: Chicago Tribune (?) from November 1969 announcing the Apollo 12 moon landing.

Only failure: TV conks out

I remember watching the Apollo 12 landing, and listening all night when the tv camera conked out after being pointed at the sun. They tried everything to fix the camera and nothing worked. Finally, they tried hitting it with a hammer. That didn't work either.
