Damn, Jim! Is there a way to put some pictures up of all that stuff? I for
one, would love to see them. But I guess now that Jay is about to get them,
that would be up to him. How 'bout it, Jay? Could you take some pics and
post them on your site?

You must be older than dirt! I was an eleven year old, that spent countless
hours sitting in a tree, with a model lander on a long kite string, doing my
own lunar landings. g

I saw all of the space stuff at the Air and Space Museum, later in life, and
could not believe how frail all of those space ships looked. It was hard to
believe they could even hold in atmosphere with out busting.

I, for one, still remember where I was when they landed, and walked on the
moon. Many others remember that landmark day like yesterday, I understand.

Absolutely!

Me, too. I was also 11 years old, and at YMCA summer camp. The counselors
let us stay up late to watch it -- on a single, black & white TV with rabbit
ear antenna.

Needless to say, 200 kids crowded around a fuzzy picture in the mess hall
was something to remember!

9 years old, hardwood floor - three across, each with our own pillow. Adults
and older kids got the furniture.

Mom was not too happy with us kids when we woke up our baby brother so he
could (someday) say, "I saw the moon landing." He was 6 months old at the
time g.

Heh. I did the same with my 3 month old daughter. She now says she's glad I did.

The landing and walk were something to remember.

Have you ever been down to the cape and gone through the old launch
control facility? When I was there it was completely in tact and they
staged a launch. I don't know what they used for low frequency
speakers but you thought you "were there". The whole place shook and
there was hardly a dry eye in the place.

Just got back from there two weeks ago. It was awesome!

Not to disapoint you but the Apollo launch control down there is a
re-creation from equipment in the orginal firing rooms. When I was working
there they moved all that gear to that spot from the real firing rooms which
were redone to accomadate the shuttle firing rooms in the LCC. It is still
pretty cool and that building was used to house simulators so that the crews
could continue to practice up until launch day.

I worked at KSC for the first seven shuttle missions and it was really neat
getting to see that stuff up close and personal. I met a couple of
astronauts and people who had worked on Apollo but I had a really surreal
experience last November. I know work for a large telecom company and they
had invited a speaker to come a talk to us. The secretary knowing of passion
for space stuff and that I had worked there asked if I could drive the our
guest speaker around and spend the afternoon with him to ensure he had all
he needed, the speaker was Alan Bean for Apollo 12.

It was a great afternoon and I got several hours of one on one time with him
but the really surreal part was when I took him into our museum specifically
to the display on Apollo gear that we had made. While we were looking at the
gear he saw a transponder that was installed in an ALSAP experiment package.
I said I was not sure what the ALSAP was but he knew, of course, and then
said that the picture of the astronaut carrying the experiment package on
the moon with eh item was him. It really made me feel strange to think that
here was that guy standing right next to me.

I got a nice picture of Capt. Bean and me plus he autographed a print of one
of his paintings. A very cool day and my best day at work for that company
in over 15 years.

Yeah, they do mention that in the tour. The equipment is real, and
original -- it's just all been moved into a different room.

That is so cool. Who would ever have thought, back in those heady days,
that there would only be a handful of guys to ever land on the moon?
