Lightbox lunches


Went up to town yesterday as it was my Wife's birthday and we wanted to do something fun during the day and then meet up with the kids for dinner later on in the evening. We opted for a steak sandwich for lunch at the inimitable Eagle pub in Farringdon (highly recommended) and then we wandered up to Kings Cross to take a look at the Apollo Moon Mission show running at the Lightbox. It was great although we sat too close to the front screen (there are projections all around you) and both of us ended up with aches in our necks! Anyway, the show runs for around an hour and covers the various Apollo missions to the Moon (the Moon landings) from 11 to 17, the launch sequence of the Saturn V is spectacular, I've watched it many times but it never gets old. It's all narrated by Tom Hanks and shows footage taken from the surface of the Moon that I'd never seen before and since the projection surfaces are so large it's kind of like being there, cool!
