I got to meet Dr. Christopher Kraft Jr. He gave a really good talk to the co-ops at Space Center Houston. He didn't do a normal talk as he put it, instead he gave us a few thoughts on how the Program is being handled and what he thinks we should consider doing with the Program. He has a few good opinions, but his opinions come from working with some of the great minds of the Apollo Era, including Werner Von Braun. He was an amazing man to listen to.
Later that evening, after the work day was over, I went to the Saturn V movie night. The organizer had to leave early, but had brought in an Apollo VII astronaut, Walter Cunningham. He did a nice little talk with us and answered questions. He encouraged us to buy his book. [oh how many of those we've gotten this quarter] Though he answered 3 questions that everyone wants to ask. (Sorry, I don't remember them all) I just remember the one about how to go to the bathroom in space.
(Picture by Sergey G.)After Walter left, we watched a movie on the side of the Saturn V Rocket. We watched a documentary about the Apollo times and flights. Sorry almost a month later, I have forgotten the name of it. It was really cool though. Three of us had went to it.

I officially would love to get a camera like his! :) It's far better than mine.
