A vintage July 1979 issue of LIFE magazine with the dramatic whale cover — "Will We Kill the Last Whale?" Published right on the 10th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing, this issue also catches up with "12 Who Walked on the Moon," previews the new James Bond film Moonraker, and covers the buildup to the 1980 Moscow Olympics.
