16 July 1969 puts me on special assignment in Hunza Valley and the surrounding region. Electric there is two D cells in your flashlight, which are likely dead. A mutton fat lamp will not power a TV... so I did not hear of the moon landing for some months on my return to Ft Meade.

US astronauts! But these cisgendered heteronormative patriarchal white male oppressors were totally exclusionary, there was no diversity in the astronaut corps or in the Apollo crews.

The trip took 5 days from Suva (capital city) on a very slow barge vessel (250 miles IIRC). The islander families took turn cooking me dinner every day, invariably octopus in coconut milk (local delicacy).
