VIKING I AND MAN'S DESTINY - Herbert W Armstrong - October 1976

Herbert W Armstrong

Personal from Herbert W Armstrong - A few weeks ago, I was sitting in our Ambassador Auditorium here in Pasadena looking in on Mission Control Headquarters at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory located only walking distance away as scientists manipulated the safe landing of the Viking I spacecraft on Mars. The JPL scientists had cooperated with Ambassador College and the Ambassador International Cultural Foundation so that everything at Mission Control - as the scientists maneuvered the Mars landing - was shown on a large screen in our auditorium. We had opened the auditorium to the public. A thousand or more people were there. I had risen at 3:30 a.m. Many had been watching in the auditorium from 11:00 p.m. the previous night. I arrived in the auditorium just before 5:00 a.m. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
