Handbags   (The sad, the bad and the ugly. Non-productive stuff here.)

in 1969 I was glued to the tv screen when science fiction became science fact with the lunar landing, I did have a great science teacher in my younger days who encouraged all things science.

I got the chance to visit the Stennis Space Center in 2011, a wealth of great information ...LINK

I was fascinated with the Apollo Program which included the heroic lunar landing, I got to stand at the nozzle end of one of the Apollo Five rocket engines on display, a piece of history I never thought I would catch up with.

Stennis is the engine test center for NASA, I collected a NASA lapel badge while I was there, something small and probably insignificant to most but an important connection for me.

Btw I was at the meteor crater for a couple of hours, within its self the crater is fascinating but the bigger picture is the great expanse of flattened out land area from the impact , a few hundred square miles!
