In the Wake of Apollo: Do NOT Stop
Jul. 22nd, 2009 09:13 pmOn Tuesday afternoon, the Bytowne Theatre held a matinee showing of In the Shadow of the Moon, a documentary on the Apollo missions directed by Ron Howard. I'd wanted to see it the night before with several members of OSFS, but assorted transit/logistics issues got in the way.
It was worth the wait, though. Especially at this point of the 40th Anniversary of Apollo XI's moon landing, as well as a Canadian space exploration first this past week with Julie Payette and Robert Thirsk being the first two-Canadian team to go Up There Into the Black. (Yes, they had to go on separate flight. I know this. Moving on!)
Anyway, all of that got me to the point at Algonquin College Summer Sketch Night. And this image would not let go until I drew it.
It's been submitted for use by OSFS in our newsletter, but I'm putting it up here.
A selfish, hopeful request of the world.
