On Opening Day 1976, this photo was taken of Apollo 11 astronaut and National Air and Space Museum director Michael Collins taking a quiet moment to review his notes for the day.
This morning, on our 50th anniversary, we recreated that photo with current director Chris Browne.

So, about six years ago, I set out to make a movie (trailer below) and write a book on the same subject at the same time. (Book is here amazon.com/gp/aw/d/006299887…) It seemed like a great idea . . .
