I spent 36 hours parked in front of the TV. My local channel picked up the NBC feed. Oft repeated, a “favorite moment” came right after Neil Armstrong spoke his historic words. (I heard the “a”.) The image on screen cut to a man sitting behind a desk, read something without audio. My memory insists the image was black and white. It lasted only a few seconds, and then we were back to David Brinkley ruminating on the vast significance of the day. He concluded with “And in case you’re wondering where that image came from, of a man behind a desk—so are we!” All these years since I have been convinced it was the Russians pranking NASA.
