Bringing Spaceflight Down to Earth

On Wednesday, April 4, 2012, two space-flown, two-dimensional IMAX cameras were donated to the National Air and Space Museum in a ceremony that took place in the "Moving Beyond Earth" gallery.

As part of the event, IMAX camera co-inventor/director/producer Graeme Ferguson, writer/director/producer Toni Myers, astronaut/cameraman Bill Readdy, former Lockheed Martin executive Steve Chaudet, and the National Air and Space Museum's space camera curator Jennifer Levasseur participated in a roundtable discussion, moderated by space shuttle curator Valerie Neal.

Wow -- Graeme Ferguson offers a sloppy presentation! He rudely reads during Valerie Neal's introductory speech, and then nods to Peter Jakab first, rather than to the lady by whom he was presented!

Then he proceeds to turn his back to Val Neal and direct his opening rigmarole to Dr. Jakab! Jeez...

On the positive side, he seems to be a friendly, mild-mannered man, and he bears a resemblance to Ray Bolger when he was on "The Partridge Family."

I like Dr. Jakab -- he looks like a cartoon!
