The most novel television programming to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing was the footage from the moon itself. Seeing the astronauts float idly in the shuttle, showing off how you go about spreading ham-stuff on a slice of bread in zero G—which is to say nothing of the footage of a human being walking on the g-d moon—is still as incredible today as it surely was four decades ago. ABC 7 has a local angle on the lunar mission: a report on the “laser ranging retro reflector experiment” by University of Maryland professor Carroll Alley. Prof. Alley’s gizmo, which used Science to determine that the moon has a liquid core (who knew?), is still in use today. Astronaut Buzz Aldrin dropped off the package during his moon walk. Neat! A tip of the hat to you, lunar scientist.
