You can see all this while having a free bite of Astronaut Ice Cream at Jim Bernath’s Space Display. Highlights of the display include huge photos Bernath took of the April 12, 1981 shuttle launch of §.S. Columbia, countless NASA photos and artifacts, a meteorite, a lunar exploration machine and the satellite fuel tank. Bernath, 59, and his collection appeared recently at Lynn Valley Centre and is currently at Capilano Mall to Sunday, Oct. 9. He says he has taken the exhibit, which took en a life of its own after he took the shuttle launch shots, across the country from _-eoast to coast. Said Bernath, _ When I was a kid I loved reading Buck Rogers and I remember say- . ing in 1940 to myself: ‘Well, 500 - years from now, well possibly, possibly, yes. possibly.’ I never would. have dreamed that in my own lifetime, this business of going to the moon as such would have “come to pass.”” The exhibit grows steadily.
