Flight Director

"Chicken.."

"Go."

"Curry Paste..."

"Go."

"Mangetout..."

"...G... ... Whit?!?"

A bit more tricky than preparing a Thai green curry I guess, forty six years ago today Neil Armstrong took his small step off of the lunar lander onto the Moon's surface for the first time. Having binged on Space and NASA documentaries the past few days snapping Samantha in her new mission gear was always on the cards.

The phrase emblazoned on her pinny and oven gloves is linked to the Apollo 11 Flight Director Gene Kranz was only ever quoted as a line added in the film Apollo 13 and spoken by the actor playing him. NASA have latched on to it though, and it appears on hundreds of items of merchandise, as well as being used as the title for Kranz's autobiography.

Ok, that's yer history for today, I'm off to mange tout my curry.
