How could I refuse when all the drinks and probes were complimentary? :mrgreen:

KLA2, did you ever see the bit your countrymen, The Kids In The Hall did about probing? If not, here you go:

Enjoy!

Thanks, BM 65. Is there anything you have not seen :shock:

I missed that one.

One of my all time favourite films is "From the Earth to the Moon."

In one of my favourite episodes, Dave Foley plays the role of Alan Bean, (Apollo 12 and several shuttle flights. One of the "best of the best")

Astronauts are generally depicted as "steely eyed missle men", as fearless, cold and dedicated as they are bold. (Darren Stevens aside :roll: )

Dave played the role depicting an uninhibited, wide eyed joy in being an astronaut and actually going to the moon with his crew and good buddies.

I would like to think that, beneath the required professionalism and emotional reserve, that was how many of the astronauts felt.

If not, how sad.

I think he portrayed a real, human and important element of being a great adventurer in the space program.

The Kid did good. 8)

I am confident they saw it that way. I remember vividly a documentary in which Aldrin, Bean, Gene Cernan and Jack Schmitt featured prominently. It must have been a blast.

There is a wonderful lecture series (moon 101) somewhere on the LPI site. In it, Dr. Paul Spudis talks about Lunar Dust as a possible threat to exploration ("Dust gets everywhere. It's the end of the world."), and there he says that really the astronauts didn't do anything to avoid the dust. In fact, they were rollicking in it, "hey this is fund, we're having a gas...", etc. There seems to have been no shortage of fun on the Moon.

I agree with you guys there: talk to any experimental pilot (or any pilot, really) and they'll tell you of the thrill that's a major part of what they do (unless they're a bus driver).

It sure sounds like a blast!

^^^ Darren Stevens aside

I felt that was wrong when I posted it. :oops:

I intended to refer to Major Tony Nelson (I Dream of Genie) :oops:

Sorry for any confusion I caused. :roll: :lol:
