Good evening all,
I have just listened to this recording. I thought that the program, was very interesting, and listeneing to Sir Patrick, answering those questions, it makes me realise how far we have come.
We have seen Halleys comet, the Apollo-Soyuz link up took place over Bognor Regis, and ofcause the Space Shuttle and Pioneer 11 flyby of Saturn, all took place.
It certainly was a magical time, to be a young astronomer.
