Firstly, I've been loving all of the attention that the 40th anniversary of the moon landing. I remember back in '99 when the 30th anniversary was overshadowed by MTV's Woodstock re-creation mud-bog. This time it seems to be a bigger deal.
Secondly, I've been watching DVD's of the 'From the Earth to the Moon' series (thanks Hans!). It's outstanding. The series details episodes of the Apollo program. Tom Hanks and Ron Howard produced it and pretty much every actor in it is recognizable.
Thirdly, this is a diagram that shows the walkabout map from Apollo 11 superimposed over a baseball diamond. They didn't stray far from the module.
Fourth, here are some recent pictures of the Apollo sites taken from a lunar probe. I think that's very cool.
And lastly, here is some fun video of Buzz Aldrin (if that is your real name) conversing with a skeptic. Nice right jab!

Glad you're enjoying the Earth to the Moon series. I thought it was fantastic from beginning to end. Also, that other disc set I loaned you has a great episode about the Apollo 11 landing.
Buzz - if that's your real name. Why does that show suck so much now. Careful! They're ruffled!
