It was great to see after John's talk.
When John opened his laptop on Saturday afternoon the first thing I noticed was
the background image of himself standing next to Neil Armstrong! Now I knew
John had met Buzz before and when I asked about this brush with fame, he
said it was taken when Armstrong visited Sydney in August. In the presentation
John gave he had another picture of he and Armstrong during the official handover
of the restored Apollo 11 moonwalk video.
John also had copies of the restored video on sale. I watched some of it last night to
try and re-live the moment. There is a URL on the back of the DVD case where
I guess they will go on sale but a quick check reveals the domain is parked
and not yet active. If we hear of where the DVD can be purchased online I will
post a thread here on IIS.
