The Apollo program was the stuff of dreams for me - I remember having an Apollo fact sheet poster on my wall as a kid in the '70s. Gizmodo '79 is firing on all cylinders for me as I spent an inordinate amount of time tracking audio and camera gear in PX catalogs growing up around US Army bases in the late '70s. Good times. &lt;p /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.wechoosethemoon.com/"&gt;http://www.wechoosethemoon.com/&lt;/a&gt; &lt;p /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://gizmodo.com/tag/gizmodo-79/"&gt;http://gizmodo.com/tag/gizmodo-79/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content><category term="misc"/><category term="Old School"/><category term="NASA"/><category term="Gadgets"/></entry><entry><title>Major Matt Mason</title><link href="http://yummymelon.com/devnull/major-matt-mason.html" rel="alternate"/><published>2009-05-04T18:59:00-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-04T18:59:00-07:00</updated><author><name>Charles Choi</name></author><id>tag:yummymelon.com,2009-05-04:/devnull/major-matt-mason.html</id><summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;Major Matt Mason.&lt;/p&gt;</summary><content type="html">&lt;p&gt;YouTube reminds me that I wasn't just hallucinating this back in the late 60's.  Amazed to find out that Major Matt Mason is going &lt;a href="http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118001618.html?categoryid=13&amp;amp;cs=1"&gt;to be developed&lt;/a&gt; into a film/franchise starring Tom Hanks. Nothing from my childhood will lay buried.&lt;/p&gt;
