I have fond memories of the presentation von Tiesenhausen gave when I went to Space Camp back in 1990 (actually the version for high-schoolers called "Space Academy"). It was fascinating to hear about events that had seemed like long-ago history, when I read about them, from someone who had been there and been part of making it all happen.

I love going to the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum in Oregon because many of the volunteers there are folks who worked at NASA. Once I struck up a conversation with one of the Saturn V propulsion engineers - it's indeed fascinating to hear from the people who were actually there doing all this stuff.
