moon landing at the Ontario Science Centre

Also..wow..thanks to whomever for putting this up. Sooooo cool.

Holy crap do I ever remember that! When I went as a kid (probably 1972-3) we had people crowding that L.E.M. sim - most of us just flicking buttons to see what they'd do rather than trying to do anything in response to The Voice.

@WolfBrat To me, that visit to OSC was literally *yesterday*. We walked in - all the glass doors had the three coloured ball Ontario Science Center logo - you walked in the first gallery and looked up to your left, and on the wall, as though the wall was the surface of a lake, was a nicely polished hydrofoil race boat. Walking onward you hit up all the other galleries, but my brother and I were most fascinated by the Laser exhibit, and, of course, Apollo -- having watched the landings.

Went back to Toronto recently to work on "The Incredible Hulk" movie and wanted to hit up the Science Centre to see how much has changed -- but after reading some comments here and many, many, many other places elsewhere on the web -- I'm rather glad I couldn't make the time.

Props to you guys currently working there - and hopefully you can inspire current generations of kids the way my visit inspired me when I was a brat in 1972-73. *Nothing* is more important.

was this used to be in the kidspark section? Sadly, i never tried it

[OntarioScienceCentre]

it used to be in the space hall. but sadly we don't have it anymore.

[0501701]

yea, sadly. Also the technology hall was a sad removal for the WFIC. Do you work for the center? oh, btw, do you have any old videos or pictures of the technology hall that u wish to put on youtube as a video or send over to me? I really miss the hall and i wanna show my brother how the WFIC was like before its massive transformation! thanks!

[OntarioScienceCentre]

yes. i am the video person at the Science Centre. also on YouTube as videochick770. right now i am pulling footage for an anniversary clip...1969,1989,2009...i should have it up later today.

[0501701]

awsome! how long have you worked for them? must be pretty cool to work for the center! Do you work everyday? looking forward for that anniversary video. and thanks for subscribing!

[OntarioScienceCentre]

I agree, the Technology hall was one of the best parts, it was very cool. I think it inspired my fascination with machines and technology. I also seek pictures of the lost Technology hall, infact I had one I found on flickr but i seem to have lost it :(

[DrZarkloff]

That was pretty cool.

[OntarioScienceCentre]

yes it was...back in the day we don't have it anymore.
