Wednesday is the thirty-sixth anniversary of the first Apollo landing, and long-time readers will be aware that I and some others (primarily Bill Simon, also the Transterrestrial web designer) have come up with a Sedar-like ceremony to celebrate the event, and describe all (well, all right, not quite all) of the events throughout the history of the universe that culminated in it.

We’ll be discussing and perhaps reading from it on The Space Show tonight, from ten to eleven thirty PM, Eastern time (7-8:30 on the west coast). You can listen live on the Internet by following the link. It will also be podcast.

And if you want to perform the ceremony yourself, there are still a couple days to plan a dinner with some friends. It seems a little weird, but everyone I know who’s actually done it has been surprised and pleased with the results (we’ve found that people who aren’t as heavily into space actually find it more interesting than some of the more jaded types).
