G'day (as we say in Australia) I'm Chris, in the media industry for 41 years now, first in radio for 10 years, the rest in Television and Film. In fact one of my first radio shifts was covering NASA's skylab crashing into the Australian desert in 1979. I currently run this business in one of the most isolated town's in the world (a good thing right now!) https://www.alicespringsfilmtv.com.au/ and as I do every few years have reinvented myself again, this time as an Aerial Cinematographer: https://vimeo.com/showcase/6068834

G'day Chris! What an awesome background you have! What was it like to cover NASA's skylab crashing into the Australian desert? Nothing like pressure for one of your first radio shifts.

Incredible Amanda, but I managed to get a lot of experts on board even before we had any inkling it was going to land in Australia (nobody had any idea at the time) That included a guy from the U.S. Consulate in Melbourne who had fortunately worked with NASA on the space program, he kindly stayed with me all night. Not so kind was the local Shire Council (county) who issued NASA with a fee for "littering"... which they promptly paid!
