Moonwalker Charlie Duke visits Future Ventures

After we gave talks at NASA and Stanford, Charlie dropped by to see the Apollo artifact museum I curate at work. We poured over a 7’-wide pano of him on the lunar surface, posed with the lunar scoop I recently bought from him. We also spoke of the Apollo CM couch behind him. Best line: “It was an exciting time. We didn’t want to come back.”
Apollo 16 Lunar Module Pilot Charlie Duke is one of only four moonwalkers still alive today.
