It's not your fault, Dit.  The BBC just doesn't like us in the states when it comes to some videos. |

Fortunately, the BBC is not immune to either proxy servers or HTTP tunneling software. Not that I could ever condone that sort of thing, of course...  |

The Alan Bean and Harrison Schmitt interviews are genuinely fascinating, I think because both men talk about interests outside the space flights themselves. Nice guys, all of them, and good interviewing by James
It must have been a hell of an intense experience to make a man devote so much of his life to trying to convey his feelings about it through painting. I was quite taken with Alan Bean

His interview with Charlie Duke will always be one of my favorites. Duke lives in Texas now, but was originally from my hometown, so he's a bit of a local treasure. There's a mural and a bench honoring him in downtown, and my grandparents went to school with him for a while. I was in school with some of his nieces.
It's pretty neat to see our most famous resident being interviewed by James. I have a feeling if I ever met him (which he is around occasionally) I'd be more prone to ask him about James than the moon landing....haha.

Harrison Schmitt is from New Mexico and a local hero. He was once a Senator as well. He has the reputation of an all around nice guy.
