Omega 'Lifetime' magazine.
Just received a copy of the new 'Lifetime' magazine from Omega, Issue 4 - 'The Moon Edition'.
Whilst moonwatch fans have probably seen a few of the photos before I'd still recommend trying to get your hands on a copy. They usually have a stock at the Omega boutiques.
Enjoy it - I am.

Alternative source?
I too have seen this pub, atleast on line pics. I live "in the country", about 120 miles northwest of Chicago, IL. Any ideas on how to obtain a copy without visiting an Omega boutique?

i got mine from my watchmaker last month
its a very informative magazine with facts about the moon landings etc that arent mentioned in other places. its a keeper thats for sure.
i've also just bought Eugene Cernan's book 'last man on the moon' which i understand is a very interesting read and goes into some depth about the emotional and psychological problems many Astronauts had after returning from the moon. i fully understand that once you've seen the earth as a speck in the distance it makes you re evaluate your place in the world.

Also look out for...
Buzz Aldrins new book, 'Magnificent Desolation' which is being published this month to co-incide with the 40th Anniversary of the moon landing.
There is a huge amount of cd's, books etc on the subject which, given that it was 'mans greatest adventure' not surprising. I've got quite a stack of them myself.
Sorting the good from the bad is, of course, another thing.
I'm going to a Buzz Aldrin event at the Royal Festival Hall on saturday - just hope he'll be doing autographs!!

Space Truckin'
Yesterday was my birthday and my son got me the Deep Purple CD 'Machine Head' (been eons since I last listened) which features 'Fumee sur l'eau' (Smoke on ze agua) and of course, 'Space Truckin' ', which mentions moonshot in the lyrics and would be the perfect song (ROCK!!) for a Speedy commercial or similar. Also, DP recorded that album (wow, what's an album, ma?!) in Montreux, and "Swiss time was running out..."
Coolness, enjoy! =:^D
Ian Gillan has got to...
vocalists of all time. i've always loved Deep Purple, but only the Gillan,
Blackmore, Glover line up.
only by Child in time(the live in Japan version).
listen to 'concerto for group and orchestra' written by Roger Glover. not to
everyones taste, but it does blend hard rock with classics quite
well.
behind DP. both classically trained and excellent writers.
write some excellent stuff, but performed mainly in japan, likewise the first
Rainbow stuff with Ronnie James Dio on vocals was superb, but it went down the
pan when they got commercial and released singles.
Without forgetting
the song " When a Blind man cries " on the same " Machine Head CD...
Gorgeous!
At the boarder between Pink Floyd and Deep Puprle ( I mean the lead guitar and the vocal ).
A Cult album.
Nicely put, Graham.
