More proof that man has never set foot on the moon :) Strange how when you zoom in you don’t actually see any evidence of the moon landings. More proof that man has never set foot on the moon :)

It was the first experiment run on a new static vacuum mass spectrometer we built for analysing methane. The soil we used was, I believe, from the first moon landing. I carried the sample around in my wallet for years afterwards, until NASA asked for it back. No, really.

I met Gene Cernan several times in Houston during the 1980s as he was a director of a company I worked for. His entire office was stuffed with Apollo memorabilia. Nice guy. Another nostalgia trip.

I was hoping that at full zoom we'd see the Clangers. Or maybe Wallace & Gromit. Yeah, who isn’t linking to it today?

I didn't realise they'd gone back to the moon just 4 months later. For the first moon trip I was just over a month old, and apparently watched it on my mother's knee... aahhhh. I like the max zoom.
