Apollo 17 project launched

Hi Everyone,
Today I launched the first working release of the Apollo 17 project I presented at the pilot's meeting. Have a look if you're interested, I'm interested in your thoughts.

Hi everyone,
Big news. I was lucky enough to meet Gene Cernan last night, commander of Apollo 17. Such an honour and so exciting!

That must have been an 'out-of-this-world' experience!

I bet you were over the moon?

I wish you guys would stop with the space allegories.


You know that Ben is a very 'low orbit' kind of guy who would not 'see stars' meeting a NASA hero like Mr. Cernan. Ben after all is a "Techie" not a "Treky" and would en-capsule-ate his emotions so as not to pretend he had reached the 'apogee' of his project. Nice going Ben, congratulations.


Jack.

Glenn

I went to a screening of a film on his life at Toronto HotDocs Film Festival and met him afterwards. The film was The Last Man on the Moon. I hope it gets a broad release. Everyone should see it.

Superb piece of work Ben.  It's as amazing as the flight itself.  Congratulations.

Hi all,
Still off topic, but the finished version of my Apollo project just launched last night. Thought you all might be wondering what I've been doing instead of building.

Thanks man. I'm very happy with it. Here's hoping it gets some publicity.
