These are really beautiful watches.

I can’t but love the Speedmaster, in almost all it’s iterations.
I just watched last night a Netflix documentary called Mission Control which focused on the ground crew for the various space programs of that era. It’s good viewing if you have access to it.
Also, and I think I mentioned this to you before but in case I didn’t there is a Podcast called the Brady Hayward Podcast which have several episodes on the Apollo 11 mission. The person behind the podcast is a forensic engineer and so it’s about unpacking disasters. For the Apollo 11 series they used mostly the real audio from mission control and the astronauts to tell the story. With some narration to fill in the gaps.
For me I don’t see NASA and these missions the same way as others do. The real breakthroughs happened before I was born, and so I think that feeling of awe or amazement is just not there. But I’ve been slowly watching and reading stuff and gaining some interest in what happened 50 years ago!
