One of the things I found interesting was that Buzz was so busy walking around that he took very few pictures. There are actually only five pictures of Neil standing on the moon. They could have used you on the trip.<BR/><BR/>-Phighlander1463https://www.blogger.com/profile/15433780168552086707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20249225.post-91401518052092725582008-07-24T04:41:00.000+11:002008-07-24T04:41:00.000+11:00Great stories.
