Greatly enjoyed that.  I have often thought what it must be like to be one of the very few men to have walked on the moon.  Imagine sitting on your back porch on a beautiful summer evening watching the full moon rise in the east, looking so large. Looking at that moon and thinking to yourself, "I've walked on that moon."

That was nice. I went to another vid after it was over called "Crashing into the Moon", it talked about upcoming trips.

That was great. Having shot a lot of film, I know the feeling of finding a moment and realizing you've got the wrong camera/lens/film/setting to capture it, and making changes as fast as possible. That was fun to listen to.

Fantastic!  We still have the poster up on the wall of the kitchen of our Colorado cabin.  Also remember listening to the first Apollo landing on AM radio at the cabin.

Ed was one of the principal scientists on the Lunar missions. He said the guys that got on the rockets *knew* it was a calculated risk, but if they knew just how *much* calculating was going on, they'd never have stepped foot on them.. ;D
