Fun night for ‘Stargazing at the Arch’ at Gateway Arch National Park with the St. Louis Astronomical Society. Great views of the moon and stars and many appreciative star partiers. Met great folks from Brazil, India, and Vietnam.

Fifty-six years ago today I was 4 weeks shy of my 11th birthday. At one point I went to the neighborhood pool. A neighbor brought a portable TV and we watched the broadcast of the landing. That night I got to stay up late to witness history. I’ve been a space nerd ever since.

I stumbled upon this documentary on YouTube about people who worked behind the scenes on the Apollo program. It’s not quite as good as ‘Apollo 11’, but it is outstanding in its own way by putting personal stories on humanity’s greatest adventure.

I’m at Stargazing at the Arch. Beautiful views of the moon though my 8” Newtonian Reflector. If you are in the 314 and looking for fun, drop on by.
