    The NASA I grew up with is truly dead and gone. NASA was about going somewhere; we could go to the moon, I can't wait to see what's next. It's so hard looking at the pictures at the Apollo Archive without feeling melancholy about what NASA was, back in the 60s, and has never been since.

    I wonder what Neil, Buzz and Michael are doing for fun these days.

    For any interested parties, the Apollo Archive is another great project to put Apollo media online.

    Wow, that is packed. Still looks like more space than the Apollo command module which had IIRC times when the astronauts were all packed in there for three days at a stretch. So it's possible that the passengers are expected to stay in there for two days.

    I became strangely obsessed with that whole incident a year or so back. I ended up grovelling through various NASA archives trying to find the pics (which of course I've lost the URIs for... so now guess I just HAVE to go back to the Project Apollo site and look for them again ;)

    what fascinated me was that they'd landed an Apollo mission close enough to the old Surveyor to go looking for, and find, it. Of course the Surveyor didn't do take a Pathfinder like "picture of me on the moon" (not having a rover to take it with), so the two pics I found are I think the only ones of a robotic craft that's completed it's mission and gone to sleep. I can't really articulate why this fascinates me -- it's something like the reason divers explore shipwrecks. An historical artefact washed up on the shores of time (maaaan...) er, or something.

    Anyway, I found the pics; warning, these are the hi-res images. to see the thumbnails go to http://www.apolloarchive.com/apollo_gallery.html
    hit the Apollo 12 link, search for "surv".

    Exactly, those of us with a complete brain recognise idiotic conspiracy theories when we see them, and we can shred those theories to bits, point by point, with facts:

    For example.
