Chris Bott - Moderator Posted October 14, 2012 Author Share Posted October 14, 2012 Did it remind anyone else of sitting up to watch the moon landings? A control room, a distant craft, a countdown, checklists, drama and suspense and man doing something never done before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
