      I saw these pieces about 2 months before on Christie's website (I check out interesting auctions) and they did a good job of writing up descriptions. At the time I thought to myself, if I had lots of money I would love to own several of these items. After listening to Neil, I realize I might buy all of them (I did say if I had a LOT of money - the entire collection sold for just over $16.8 million.)

    This is a wonder-filled video. Thank you! Seeing Neal get emotional at the end made my day. And personal story: In 2001, I attended an event at the Hayden Planetarium hosted by Neil which celebrated the 50th anniversary of the publication of the book "Conquest of Space". This book (with artwork by Chesley Bonestell) pre-dated the Collier's magazines that came out the following year and was the first step America's rocket scientists took towards teaching the public that space travel was now finally possible. And because I brought my copy of the book with me, I was able to get it signed by Neal and a number of the others who spoke at that event. It's one of my most prized posessions.

    Neil, your iPhone does more than the Cray-1 but the Cray is a 64-bit parallel processing machine. It was built to processes arrays. It did not do windows, the internet, or anything but calculate. It required a mainframe as its front end that managed users, ran jobs, and sent compiled machine code, originally written in FORTRAN, optimized to process array math. Incidentally, it was built out of Texas Instruments bit-slice processors, chips hooked up on parallel 4-bits per chip. Each wire was minimized in length to cut the speed of buss access. I could tell you more but I can't find that old textbook from an early computer architecture seminar I attended faithfully, when you and I were both young.
    By the way, this was a most delightful tour of Paul's stuff. A Buzz Aldrin suit? Man, I'd lose 30 pounds just to wear that on Main Street. The Hadean Era -- Earth was hot stuff!
    Peace.
