McMoon's Gets a Special Visitor

Keith’s note: I had a rather special guest visit me today at the Lunar Orbiter Image Recovery Project (LOIRP) at Building 596 (aka “McMoon’s”) at NASA Ames Research Center. Dan Goldin. Having Dan visit was really cool. It was great to have him stop by and visit our rebel operation. I really enjoyed showing him around. Dan asked a string of very sharp, cogent questions and offered us some valuable advice. He totally gets the value of such things and the importance of history – and that we have adopted the mantra of “older-better-cheaper”. Dan was at Ames as part of the memorial services for the late Baruch “Barry” Blumberg. Barry was a mutual friend of ours. As I mentioned at the memorial ceremony, Barry once told me “you and Dan are a lot alike. I just wish you two could get along”. Well, after Barry’s passing, we do. Barry’s amazing “people skills” continue to work their magic. Larger photo here.
