From 1969 #Apollo #BlueSpace
Scrapbook page showing a very young Patrick Moore at hus telescope, with a closeup of the moon in backdrop. The article is headed "What I believe they'll find..." There's a large block of text below the picture (too much to try to put here, for which I apologise).

My dear father (88) just had a bit of a clearout, and found my scrapbook from 1969! I'm so grateful to him for keeping it. The 8 year old, glued to the TV, led to my lifelong interest in #space, and my eventual career in the #SatCom sector. Thanks Dad! This 🧵 shares some of the stuff I saved...
Image of scrapbook page, showing a Saturn V rocket blasting off the launchpad. It's a night launchpad, so the sky is dark, contrasting the bright flames billowing around the base of the rocket.

Not that it really matters for a small organisation like RPC Telecom, but in order to prove our 'bona fides' I have just changed our Bluesky handle to @rpctelecom.com. It's quite easy to do, and I think it would be good if other organisations and companies in space and satellite Bluesky do the same.
Screenshot of part of the RPC Telecom Bluesky profile page, showing that the account handle is now "@rpctelecom.com"
