ForAllMankind Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 I am excited at the possibility of meeting the Astronauts and not forgetting the Cosmonauts but there is something about meeting someone from the early Gemini Project and it will be a pleasure to meet a guy who was involved in the 1st US spacewalk,I can only imagine the conversation between him and Alexei Leonov. Anyway another great guest,thanks showmasters and seeing as this is my 10th show do I get a concession,maybe a gold pass,lol. Cheers, Alex.
