MOON MACHINES - the real stories behind the right stuff

A week or so after every space shuttle mission the astronauts give a presentation and honor the engineers that made their time in space possible. It makes me so happy to see the guys in the back rooms get their time in the spotlight. The Moon Machines series honors the engineers and scientists that geeked-out all the way to the moon. I can't wait to get some hot chocolate and snuggle in to watch this. Secret Santa, you rock.

UPDATE: and last year I finally got a picture of the second gift, which is a very detailed replica of the lunar rovar that is also an ornament...and the console illuminates when you plug it into a socket along a string of lights. So cool! Thanks again, Secret Santa. :)
