Wow, I didn't know them moon was a layover on the way to Panama.  :)

I've been listening to the "real-time" audio at www.wechoosethemoon.org but 
I got wrapped up in work activities and missed the point where the LEM 
touched down.  Rats.  Hopefully I won't miss the "One small step for (a) 
man" later on tonight (if I haven't already...)
