Moonwalk Blooms Eternal

What do Buzz Aldrin, Neil Armstong and Michael Jackson have in common?

They're all Moonwalkers!

I'll assume you're laughing on the inside....

Anyway, a music company or radio station named Studio Brussel created a website asking people to send in a video of their "Moonwalk". Thousands of people have sent in their Moonwalking videos and they're streamed together to create an "Eternal Moonwalk" as a tribute to Michael Jackson. Be warned, most people sent in videos of their best "Walking Backwards" rather than their best "Moonwalk".

If you do go to the site.... Search for 8600.... That one's my favorite. Click on the picture of the site below to get to the site....

According To NASA


Today is the 40th Anniversary of the launching of Apollo 11, and Monday, July 20th, is the 40th Anniversary of Neil Armstrong and Eugene "Buzz" Aldrin being the first humans to walk on the moon.

Well, NASA reported today, that after an exhaustive three-year search for some tapes that contained the original footage of the Apollo 11 moonwalk, they have concluded that the tapes were probably destroyed during a period when NASA was erasing old magnetic tapes and reusing them to record satellite data.

It's kind of like an horrible episode of "According to Jim". Or what they call in the entertainment world, an episode of "According To Jim".... Think about it.... If NASA was a bumbling husband who was simple and didn't know a mop from a spoon, the moonwalk tapes were the wedding videos, and the satellite data was the Super Bowl. Boom.... Horrible sitcom....
