To make sure they never get lost (the digital ones at lest) they should make a zip file of them and put them up on kazza.
But for real any one know where I can get all the pics in a zip and/or a tar file.
But that earth rise is just a great sight, and also the pic of the earth from a distance is just.... ( I don't have the words to say what I felt looking at that picture, other then small)
What JFK should have said was "I believe this nation should commit
itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on
the moon and returning him safely to the Earth with pictures that will scale
properly as wallpaper on computer monitors not yet invented."

Is anybody else unable to read this without hearing Mayor Quimby's voice?
Hmm, 250kb images.

What Moon-Hoax Crap?

It amazes me that so many allegedly "educated" people have fallen so quickly and so hard for a fraudulent fabrication of such laughable proportions. The very idea that a gigantic ball of rock happens to orbit our planet, showing itself in neat, four-week cycles -- with the same side facing us all the time -- is ludicrous. Furthermore, it is an insult to common sense and a damnable affront to intellectual honesty and integrity. That people actually believe it is evidence that the liberals have wrested the last vestiges of control of our public school system from decent, God-fearing Americans (as if any further evidence was needed! Daddy's Roommate? God Almighty!)
Documentaries such as Enemy of the State have accurately portrayed the elaborate, Byzantine network of surveillance satellites that the liberals have sent into space to spy on law-abiding Americans. Equipped with technology developed by Handgun Control, Inc., these satellites have the ability to detect firearms from hundreds of kilometers up. That's right, neighbors! The next time you're out in the backyard exercising your Second Amendment rights, the liberals will see it! These satellites are sensitive enough to tell the difference between a Colt.45 and a.38 Special! And when they detect you with a firearm, their computers cross-reference the address to figure out your name, and then an enormous database housed at Berkeley is updated with information about you.
Of course, this all works fine during the day, but what about at night? Even the liberals can't control the rotation of the Earth to prevent nightfall from setting in (only Joshua was able to ask for that particular favor!) That's where the "moon" comes in. Powered by nuclear reactors, the "moon" is nothing more than an enormous balloon, emitting trillions of candlepower of gun-revealing light. Piloted by key members of the liberal community, the "moon" is strategically moved across the country, pointing out those who dare to make use of their God-given rights at night!
Yes, I know this probably sounds paranoid and preposterous, but consider this. Despite what the revisionist historians tell you, there is no mention of the "moon" anywhere in literature or historical documents -- anywhere -- before 1950. That is when it was initially launched. When President Josef Kennedy, at the State of the Union address, proclaimed "We choose to go to the moon", he may as well have said "We choose to go to the weather balloon." The subsequent faking of a "moon" landing on national TV was the first step in a long history of the erosion of our constitutional rights by leftists in this country. No longer can we hide from our government when the sun goes down.

The scary part about Slashdot is that if you replace every instance of "liberal" with "conservative" in the parent post, it will get moderated as +5, Insightful despite no change in content.

Yes and it cost this country trillions of dollars. After all, it's not cheap to send a guy up each morning and night to take down and put up the flag in accordance with flag display etiquette.

Not only did they come AND leave in that thing, but the landing program was written in FORTRAN, and the computer crashed something like three times during descent.....all before Windows!

I think it was firmly planted on the light side of the moon. If it's still rotating at all, it will be thousands, if not millions of years before dark falls on that flag. So it's really a great budget-saver.
Wow! These new images are the best yet. The shadows are all going the same direction, you can't see the movie set reflected in the visors, and there's no apparent line where the backdrop meets the stage. And they managed to build a set that looks virtually identical to the original set from the 60's. You've got to hand it to NASA for listening to public feedback and making a more believable set of photographs.

Holy crap look at picture three!
It looks like someone left a twinkie sitting on the side of the lander and it became one with the metal during launch!

Goddamnit, didn't I tell you to read badastronomy.com? http://www.badastronomy.com/bad/tv/foxapollo.html# stars/ is the link to the stars question.
But still, NASA should GIMP in some stars in order to placate the consipracy theorists.
That's because the Soviet Union was alsoa fake. We worked it out with the Russians and related states to keep the Chinese under control.
If only we had realized that Chinese communism was also a fake (perpetrated by the parents of today's Nigerian scammers).
