We went to the USS Hornet Aircraft carrier (decommisioned) to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 splashdown. Buzz Aldrin spoke and it was just great what he had to say about space exploration then and now.
The USS Hornet picked up the Apollo 11 and 12 modules from the South Pacific. It is now a floating museum at the former Alameda Naval Station in Alameda, CA, across the Bay from SF. The ship is awesome! Well, gigantic. Jen said something about the "boat." No, that is a SHIP.
It was a really great afternoon for science and patriotism.
