In addition to Apollo and earlier-era astronauts, the 87 video recordings also feature NASA flight controllers and engineers. *** Anyone interested will need to bring a USB stick or USB portable hard drive with at least 30 GB free to our next meeting *** Andrew has collected the MP4 files into a folder on his laptop and proposes to copy the folder onto your storage device during the meeting. This would have to be on an “all-or-nothing” basis, as he won't have time to copy selected files to suit individual interests. Please RSVP for the night by booking a free ticket below:
