On a related issue, I had a curious experience watching Swiss
television on the 20th anniversary of the moon landing. The producers
noted it and spent the bulk of the hour talking about the Swiss
experiment that went with Aldrin and Armstrong to the moon.

It was an interesting shift in perspectives, to say the least.


well, I'd put it this way: the landing on the moon, the whole program etc.
is well covered in many documentations. I read the first time now from you
about a Swiss experiment. And this would also be the case for many folks
from Switzreland, I guess. So this would bring another light to the story
and make the event more interesting for the average viewer.

(just like I am always thinking - whenever I see the space shuttle - that
the heat shield ceramic plates on the space shuttle are made in Austria
[about 1 hour drive by car from here]; it brings a related light to the
event)
