Week 17 (2) – Don’t Drink and Drive the Lunar Rover
1 Comment Published by mulletgod July 28th, 2009
Until the age of 12, all I ever wanted to be was an astronaut. I read every book I could get my hands on about space travel and the solar system, I was convinced I’d be an astronaut. Then, nature took hold and I grew to the ripe old height of 6’4" ruining my chances of travelling the universe. But I dealt with it and still have a great fascination for our universe including celebrating last week’s historic 40th anniversary of the Lunar landing. Now seriously, how AWESOME is that? Consider that the lunar module had about as much computer processing power as a modern digital watch and you’ll realise what a feat it was!
Hats off to you Messers Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins!
Any reception up there?
