James Irwin Astronaut

This was a public Speaking Event in East Hartford, Connecticut in 1991 of the Apollo Astronaut James Irwin. I shot this video, it is not from someone elses copyright protection because I am the cameraman shooting this tape of James Irwin's appearance

I really enjoyed watching this video, The kind of footage you can't buy, and I was particularly interested in hearing Jim mention that the genesis rock was very similar to the gem moonstone, I have never seen or read that fact anywhere else before, great video.

@kingbrunodagaul I know that he is a Christian and I was hoping for one great statement in a witnessing way, that is why I asked if they found anything that challened modern cosmology :)

My father worked alongside Jim in 1968 during LTA-8, which was one of the series of tests focused on the lunar module.

Bit of a goof: Jim Irwin was the back-up LMP for Apollo 12, not 17. Charlie Duke was the back-up on Apollo 17.
