In 1971 :
Radio and television cigarette advertisements were banned in the United States.
The southern part of Québec received the Century’s Snowstorm (42 cm of snow).
Intel launched the 4004 microprocessor.
And Apollo 15 landed on the moon.
Exploring the Commons on Flickr, I have found some nice albums from the George Eastman House a nonprofit dedicated to the preservation of objects related to George Eastman life. Maybe you don’t know Mr. Eastman but I’m sure you know about the company he founded in 1888. He was the inventor of paper roll films and the founder of Kodak. As much as I have found in the mission reports, Kodak film rolls were used to take the pictures of the Apollo 15 mission. They are beautiful.
