I am still in Milwaukee, hopefully that will change soon!
We are members of Adler planetarium in Chicago, and we went to see it.
There was a full house.

We had a surprise. Capt James Lovell was there to introduce the movie to us.
He announced he was donating all of his personal Apollo paraphenalia to Adler 
planetarium, in the hopes that young people would get interested in Science 
and Engineering again.

We loved the movie.
