[219/365] Apollo 11
Andrew and I made the concerted effort necessary these days to go out somewhere for fun at the same time, and he deferred to my choice of movie that's on at the cinema: Apollo 11.
For once I was the one doing the splaining on the way home on the bus, and Andrew could only get a word in edgewise when he told me a bit of 60s-music trivia about a Monkees connection. And I asked him about computers, because I read this the other day.
I've read so much about early NASA lately. As well as all the articles about the fiftieth anniversary of the first Moon landing, I let the date influence the Audible book I got last month, In the Shadow of the Moon, which I'm still working on. I'm up to about Apollo 7 now.
