Remember what happened 7 months ago at Samsung 843?

I wrote a blog post here about my embarrassing failure.

Moonwalk, Failed Attempt

For it was last August when I ended up with egg on my face, after a failed attempt of my Moonwalk.

A virtual Moonwalk that I thought would be a “walk in the park.”

However, back on August 21 due to unforeseen and foolish gastronomical activity before the walk – namely eating a delicious steak and egg with sour cream in a pita bread with a large jalapeno pepper for lunch from the famous Euro street food vendor Miznon at the Chelsea Market in NYC.

Due to my gastronomical blunder, I had to sadly abandon my mission!

Not yesterday!

Yesterday, the Sun was shining on the horizon….and it was Moonwalk Success!

I Made Sure They Got It Right

As I promised you, this time I would make sure not to eat for several hours prior and to stress that the equipment setup was done correctly.

To be safe, I certainly wasn’t going to assume the Samsung virtual operators had this part mastered or remembered what I told them.

However to my great surprise, since my last failed attempt at Samsung 843 I was very glad to hear the VR operators kept they’re promise on the advice I’d given them, and warned all new participants not to eat for at least 2 hours prior.

Now every time prior to someone “suiting up” for their moonwalk, if they would say they’ve eaten a meal within the past 2 hours, the operators will no longer say “..it shouldn’t be a problem” like they once told me, they simply will not let them do the walk.

This time I also knew exactly what to avoid.

First, I made certain that the operators didn’t strap me into the harness so tight to the point it would be cutting off some of my oxygen, not to mention that the suit would be prohibitively uncomfortable!

Second, I made sure my virtual reality visor was not blurred. This was a major problem before as I kept adjusting the wheel on top of my visor, but the clarity never was quite optimum. Yesterday, I made certain the operators would take the extra time to get the right clarity, to where it finally felt “right.”

They finally succeeded!

Lastly, Samsung still required my signage of a waiver beforehand asking if I had epilepsy, vertigo, respiratory issues etc., or any pre-condition that would preclude you from partaking in such activity. Which is a good thing and definitely the right thing to do.

Now I knew I was ready, no problems whatsoever.

All systems were clear, here comes the “green light.”

Mission Control, Success!

On my second virtual walk on the moon, there would be no “abort the mission” this time!

Unlike after 3 minutes of the first go-round, there would be no experience of nausea or any severe headache. There would be no unanticipated problems from the onset.

It was fabulous!

Well, after this sensational mind-bending virtual experience they agreed with me: that not eating for at least 4 hours prior to the virtual walk made all the difference.

Despite having done many thrill-seeking activities in the past that were actually REAL such as skydiving from a plane, and avid snowboarding, this still was a thrilling experience!

Mission control, what a Success!

Success lies in the proof of my Footprint!

And unlike the last time back in August, even better this time I didn’t have to deal with the extra stress of preparing for a big social media seminar to attend the next day.

That Instagram social media seminar is coming in NYC on March 21.

And I'm ready to resume my go-fer duties!

For now though, I’m happy to say it was thrilling and fun sharing this follow-up post and cool photos of my now successful virtual “walk on the moon” Ladies and Gents.

Cheers,
