There were hundreds of Very Important People, aka VIPs, at Kennedy Space Center on July 16, 1969 to watch the launch of Apollo 11. They formed an eclectic congregation of politicians, diplomats, celebrities, businessmen, scientists, and relatives who received special NASA access to watch the moon launch. Since Apollo 11 was a bigger deal than previous NASA missions, many people were eagerly anticipating being part of history that day. In addition to Vice President Spiro Agnew, talk show host Johnny Carson, and former President Lyndon Johnson, you can spot other VIPs in the Apollo 11 film if you look closely, including science fiction author Isaac Asimov, who was being interviewed at the time.
