thanks a lot for telling, I WAS going to watch it.

The cell phone thing didn't get recorded it was later on. Modine was trying to say that people were smarter back then because they didn't need computers to fix the lunar lander and that the lander was not as complicated as his cell phone and they still got people to the moon. Buzz started in saying something like "I don't know how many times I've heard that over the years but I'd like to see you go to the moon on you're cell phone!"

Maybe you should have said "Look, let me finish shooting for posterity, and we'll sort it out with your boss afterwards".
-
Where was the cell phone remark? Buzz gets miffed a lot from what i hear. ;-)
-
Yea, it got a little weird/funny when Modine started to get schooled on evolutionary timescales by Ann and then Buzz was kinda miffed about the "my cell phone is just as technological as the lunar landing module" thing. I thought the whole thing was really cool.

I wish -- I had a press badge, but somebody from PACE come up to me during the panel and asked me to stop after Modine first spoke. (You can sort of hear us arguing on the video.) I asked her if PACE was going to make video of the entire event available and she didn't know. It's too bad, because it got pretty interesting after I had to stop filming.
