Very interesting.

Lightroom has added "The Moonwalkers" souvenirs to its online store, including a patch (as pictured here), apparel and a program with essays from Tom Hanks and a behind-the-scenes look at Andy Saunders' work.

You've tried the Apollo 11 app on the Quest 2?

Attended The Moonwalkers today with my (non space geek) girlfriend. Really great show and well worth it he price of the tickets. I'm pretty sure the room shook as much as the fake LCC shakes in the Saturn V Centre at KSCVC!

The way the show intertwined Artemis and Apollo was great and Andy Saunders' work blown up to massive room size looks incredible. Of course Tom Hanks narration was perfect, telling his story of witnessing Apollo as a school boy.

If you're lucky enough to live in the UK or you're here on a visit, I can't recommend it enough.

Adam, the show sounds fantastic.

I am curious, did you watch the entire show seated or standing? And if the latter (or a mix of the two) did you wander around the room or stay in one place? What would you recommend is the best way to experience the show?

Robert, we watched the show seated. There are padded benches in the room, all oriented facing the same wall, while at the back of the room there are a few levels of tiered benches, but you would need to still crane your head around to see what is projected on the wall above you.

The seating faces one wall where the main countdown to the show and mission control screens are projected, and the narration is subtitled at the top. This is the focus point of the show.

I think wherever you sit your going to have to look around a bit if you want to see every image as all 4 walls and the floor have projections on them.

"The Moonwalkers" has been extended at Lightroom from an original closing date of April 21 to now June 9, 2024.

No word yet if it will then be staged in another venue.

Here is a new video from Lightroom featuring more clips of the experience and showing Tom Hanks with the Artemis 2 crew at the Johnson Space Center.

Visited it on Saturday and thoroughly enjoyed. Recommended to all who can attend.
