    Thats great stuff. I love the way NASA are giving so much access and visibility to the programme now that it is ending. Bring it on:)

    Yeah,we're getting loads from the last mission. That 'Inside Atlantis' and FIT video are fantastic and stuff we've never seen before. Looking forward to see what else we get over the remainder of the programme.

    He flew on Apollo 16 with John Young. I met John Young a few years back when he gave a talk in Dublin, so it would be nice to have met both Apollo 16 astronauts:) Also the only oither moon walker giving a talk is Edgar Mitchell from Apollo 14 who is a bit of a fruit cake AFAIK. He is into all kinds of mad stuff, astrology, ESP, UFO's etc:eek:

    Not my kind of guy:D

    BOTH of the Apollo 16 Astronauts?

    So like the saying goes "Everybody can quote the name of the first Man on the Moon,very few can remember the name of the 2nd"

    No wonder Buzz 'Cracked up'

    Even more of Wonder is how Mike Collins who had to circle the Moon while Neil and Buzz got the glory did not also crack up.

    I know You are new to this subject but Moi would like to remind You Apollo crews had THREE vital members :pac::pac::pac::)

    My boo boo:o I should have said both Apollo 16 moon walkers. The third member of Apollo 16 was of course Thomas Mattingly who previously had been dropped from Apollo 13 days before launch due to exposure to the German measles. He then went on to command STS-4 and STS-51C.:)
