Title: Moon landings 40 years on!
Post by: Boiler Man on 19 July 2009, 01:11:26

If any of you guys out there are interested in the Anniversary of the Moon Landing 40 years ago.

I was told about a great site, as the link below.

It has loads of info and a sort of live real time comm's feed from 40 years ago between NASA and Apollo 11, if you have flash or download it. You can leave running in the back ground, at least when theres no static. 8-)

It's good hearing the tech stuff they were talking about, (It's a bit quiet at the moment as they are asleep) But it should get more interesting in a day or two when the moon orbit/landing starts.

I think it's great or am I just being a geek  ::) :-/

Hiya matey, could you do us a favour and resize your avatar (currently 160px × 120px) as it's too big and above forum rules for it's size. :y

Its landscape that is the problem, it obscures part of your post,

110 is the allowed space for it not to obscure  :y

Cheers mate

I'm not being awkward, but there are plenty of large landscape avaters on here.

I'm just trying to figure out how they are set up?

So I can do the same? :y
