You'll need RealPlayer though.

What time is the big debate?
I knew I should have pressed "Submit" before wandering off to use the can! I'll beat ya with the relevent URL next time, though. [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

Gad, what was I smoking? I was just in there editing today. I've done two major revisions of that page, and missed it both times.

I had no trouble airbrushing all the stagehands and lighting equipment out of the Apollo photographs, so I think I'm qualified to be your proofreader.

Just to allay any confusion, Eastern time is also on summer time so its currently 4 hours behind GMT, however the shows still 4pm in the UK (I hope!) [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]

No color camera? They wanted to make sure the picture got back, rather than use "unproven" technology. EEEEDEEEEOOTTTS!

Arghh... the colour video was on film and wasn't seen until they got back to Earth and developed it. All live video was black & white.

Good job, Phil, but my feed just got cut off and I can't seem to reconnect. Did we crash their server?

I've been lurking here for awhile, but I had to register for the sole purpose of saying, "Wow, you really made a fool of him."

My take so far:
*Bart says something*
BA: That is completely wrong
*Bart gets completely flustered*
Repeat x5

Did anyone else just lose feed?

I lost my feed too. Darn, just when Phil was going to explain the Van Allen Belt.

I've taken notes... I'm going to send Bart an email later.

I just lost the feed too! Just when they where going to talk about radiation belts, one area where Sibrel could have *really* shown his ignorance.
Well done BA! But oh man so much to dissect...can anyone provide a transcript?

We need one of those super powerful antennas NASA uses to transmit color video from the moon.
