Also, it looks like Armstrong is using a pen during the Gemini 8 mission. How does ink work in space? Does it? Wouldn’t they just use pencils?

Chinese restaurant in Midland since 1950's maybe a long drive take out
-
Do you know the name of it? I’m just really bothered by this lol
-
Wait. Midland is a 10-hour drive so that seems... unlikely.
-
Yes I was joking, but it was a long time Chinese place in Midland

Happy to see you out and about on twitter and at a movie. Always noticing the details to frame the story properly, you are always the reporter. Sit back, enjoy the moment, thinking of you.

Good catch. I missed that one. Norman Mailer wrote about the vending machine diet of the MSC employees in the 1960s. Some, like George Low, lived on a diet of canned Sego meal-replacement drinks. Now Google the Cape weather on 7-16-69. The film has it completely wrong.

maybe they only did takeout?

lots of wwII vets came home with a taste for spicy food. lots of Asian owned restaurants served American food to Americans and looked like American restaurants. maybe Neil liked to order off the backside.

That can't possibly be correct. This article refers to a newspaper article in 1952 talking about the Ding How restaurant then in existence. https://houstonhistorymagazine.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/American-Chinese.pdf … This post card showing the restaurant says 1930-1945. https://www.digitalcommonwealth.org/search/commonwealth:zk51w028z …

The article you cite seems to be referring to the oldest one still operating.

Even a couple of second of video of Dng How from 1960 at :51 mark: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFO9qpcyzdk … I'd be surprise if there weren't older ones than that. This one in Chicago opened in 1928 and just closed this year:https://interactive.wttw.com/playlist/2018/02/06/chicagos-oldest-continuously-operated-chinese-restaurant-closes …

"By 1900, Chinese people ran more than 150 restaurants in the city [of Chicago], many with ornate, orientalist decorations. "

I imagine there was probably somewhere to get it in 1966, could have been in a suburb or special order from someone’s house. Houston’s one of the most multicultural cities in Texas. Well-known for it.

There were earlier restaurants in the area, some still operating. I doubt that was the first in Houston itself... https://www.tripadvisor.com/LocationPhotoDirectLink-g60956-d437415-i54951285-Hung_Fong_Chinese_Restaurant-San_Antonio_Texas.html …

Is that the oldest one that is still operating? Because that might not necessarily have been the first to open.
