Moonwalker Charlie Duke visits Future Ventures

After we gave talks at NASA and Stanford, Charlie dropped by to see the Apollo artifact museum I curate at work. Even the bathroom, as we see here 🙂

We poured over a 7’-wide pano of him on the lunar surface, posed with the lunar scoop I recently bought from him. We also spoke of the Apollo CM couch behind him.

Best line: “It was an exciting time. We didn’t want to come back.”

Here are some video highlights.

Apollo 16 Lunar Module Pilot Charlie Duke is one of only four moonwalkers still alive today.
