In response to Steve Miller asking which astronaut this is, it is Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin ... but why they are using a NatGeo star chart is kind of scary!!! LOL

Also, I mentioned that L2 is getting crowded... NGR will be joining JWST and ESA's Euclid 1.2M space telescope. I had comparisons to make but ran out of time...complimentary missions in so many ways.

The other main areas omitted were the propulsion elements - hydrozine thrusters and reaction wheels for stability.

Stay tuned for the launch and mission performances of this great apparatus...!!!

Clear, Dark Skies...

Hi Mark - Thank you for your outstanding presentation tonight.  I found it quite edifying.  I was not very aware of how important NGR is to scientific research and the exploration of the cosmos.  I'm sorry you had to cut your presentation short.  Maybe we can rectify that and hear more from you in a future meeting.

Cheerio
