Can anyone confirm that Neil Armstrong will be in Valencia and give a lecture at the Campus Party in July? Does anyone know the exact date he will (hopefully) appear?Thank you,

Hi all:I have found this link five minutes ago: http://web5.campus-party.org/index.php3?SEC=3&action=NEWS&id=236&participa=1 You can send a question and win a ticket to the conference. The conference is tomorrow 26, but I donīt know the hour (maybe in the afternoon?). I'll try to go there (I'm 330 kms. away), but it's difficult for my job. Hope this helps you.

does anybody have any idea about Armstrongs further plans in Europe or whehter he spends his vacations in Spain (Marbella, Mallorca) or South France (Cannes, Nice, Monte Carlo) after this conference? I cant imagine that he travels to Europe only for one lecture. |

HiDon't take it personally, but I believe NA's vacation place is not something that should be posted on a public forum. The man is swamped enough by requests of all kinds as it is now! I don't believe he needs extra people "coincidentally" bumping into him in the reception area of his hotel. Concerning conferences and profesional engagements, now we're talking about something else.. I don't know of any planned in Europe soon. Frederic |

Firstly, I'd like to thank everyone who replied to my post. I travelled to Valencia and attended Neil Armstrong's master lecture on July 26. I think it was well worth the journey and the expense. Here are some photos in the order they were taken: http://www.LotharBrombacher.com/Armstrong_1.jpg

Many thanks to the members of the astronomy group at Campus Party for their friendly hospitality and help.Lothar |
