Its certainly possible that you wouldn't. But, the IMAX film is but
45 minutes in length. <g> And, the folks at HBO made a great miniseries.
One hour per part. Thats not too long. Lots of stuff about the people
who made it all happen.

<bg> Well, in the 90s, at one con in Boston, I did a solo presentation
on the history of the Soviet space program. I had an hour. I did it well
enough, and not a few of the audience asked me enough followup questions
that we did a second hour, outside of the panel room.

But, I'm good with a few other topics, too... And, we do get around.
We're in Rochester, in a couple of weeks. Philly in mid December...

I'd like that. I'd like it if it were also possible to gather together
a good collection of the fine regulars on this happy newsgroup together,
such that we could all discuss as much as we wanted to, and not limited
to soc.men topics.
