The Moon

Yes, we like the Moon, but here's some info (starts quite simple)

RT:44m - but covers lots of stuff (including where to build a secret lair)

Sadly the video coverage doesn't shift to the speaker's presentation :(

Break-downs available (e.g. R/T: 4m)

    I'd never noticed how the camera, left on the moon to record the lander taking off, tracks the unit so perfectly...it is spooky :)

    I used to assume that it was slaved to the antenna to track the LM taking off, but it really was a guy on Earth with a really exceptional sense of timing.

    Guess God was getting sloppy when he did the Moon....

    (Can't anyone ever suggest that reason things seem odd to us given our current scientific understanding is because we don't know enough science to figure it out, not because little green men - or God, for that matter - were involved.)

    And, according to the B52s, there's a moon in the sky.
    It's called "The Moon".

    You need to do a better job of highlighting things like that!
