You're welcome. I have access to photos now. That would be my son leaning on the railing in the foreground. This was taken during a Scouting lock-in at JSC 2 years ago.

Boy and Dad touch the Moon.

Who says the Space Program has no benefit. Me looking at an Apollo 11 rock in 1970.

Now that is impressive, I’m surprised the UN isn’t writing

My wife worked at the Cape in the 80’s and 90’s, she was visiting Florida and watched a Saturn 5 (Apollo 13) launch back in the 60’s. She said it was the loudest, ground shaking launch she’s ever seen.

And it flew and landed perfect.

That is very, very hard to do with a project of this size. Most large scale shots like this have some sort of failure mode gremlin appear.

Steve did good.
