Apollo moon landings: Could someone provide the decline in television ratings from the first moon landing to the last? How many watched the first versus the subsequent landings? I'm trying to chart the decline in interest.Apollo moon landings: Could someone provide the drop in TV ratings from the first moon landing to the last?
Here's a link with some interesting reading:
http://www.hq.nasa.gov/pao/History/SP-42鈥?/a>
To quote from that link: ';Apollo was a victim of its own success. For laymen, one moon landing after another was a little boring. Noting the public's limited interest in Apollo 12, the New York Times concluded that a collective sense of anticlimax was ';perhaps predictable considering the intense national emotion spent on the first moon landing four months ago.';
Probably the biggest reason for Apollo's decline was the detente in American-Soviet relations';
Perhaps if you researched the references for the article above you could find what you seek... that article has plenty of references :)Apollo moon landings: Could someone provide the drop in TV ratings from the first moon landing to the last?
Assuming that the only moon landings all happened in a very small time frame, i would think that the ratings would only gradually decline, not by much
