Trip to the pictures yesterday to see the story of Neil Armstrong, good film Ryan Gosling plays Neil’s part well , quite a long film but worthy of a watch  not your usual action packed film ?  recommend  go see ?

I'm a big Mercury, Gemini and Apollo fan and have had the fortune to visit KSC 4 times  (doing the Redstone) Pad 34 (Apollo 1/7) next year and i've seen the equipment used and it was never boilerplate knocked around as portrayed in the movie

Yes the story is about Neil Armstrong but I feel its a real injustice to him his wife and family the men and women of Nasa, done by a director who wasn't even born when Skylab was falling out of the sky.

It was always autumn and winter during the film (locations) it was bloody July when they flew to the moon) yes i know the director is trying to feed on the melanocny of Armstrong but please don't tarnish what was  achieved. Kids will look at this film as a true protrall of this amazing period in history 

 

Rant over (for now)

While at MSAS open day last Saturday we attended a small lecture (Moon related)

and the speaker casually asked us if anyone didn't believe we had been to the moon,

and this guy (i guess he was mid 20's) next to me raised his hand.

 

I was so tempted to call him a (blank) but thought better of it........?
