45 years...

Dec 14, 1972. At 2:54 pm PST, the last humans departed from the lunar surface.

How long before we return?

You know I had a very small part in building the Lunar Module that became named the Eagle (as in "...The Eagle has landed - tell your children when!").

Alas, I don't think any human beings are going to be back there in time for there to be a Luna City for me to celebrate my 100th birthday in...

A lot can happen in thirty years.. although you might have to settle for having a somewhat smaller party in what will become Lunar City 1.

My fallback has always been New York City. No matter what happens, there will always be a wide variety of interesting venues for celebration in the Capital Of Planet Earth.

back in the mid 70s a friend and I made a bet about meeting each other in Luna City in 2001.

At the time we thought the only thing that might keep us from it would be the cost of tickets.

We never dreamed we'd throw away almost all of the space program.

Up until recently, they were planning to hold the 100th Lunacon in Luna City. I don't know what's happening with that, but Lunacon will not be held at all in 2018, while they try to figure out where the whole concept is going.
