Apollo 12 at 35

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the looking-back dept.

neutron_p writes "Thirty-five years ago this week, the sedentary, fine-grained powder began to rise, billow and race off toward the horizon. Soon after - at 1:54:35 a.m. EST on Nov. 19, 1969 - the lunar module Intrepid landed, bringing two more humans to the surface of another world. Apollo 12 commander Pete Conrad and lunar module pilot Alan Bean would be on the Moon for more than 31 hours, with crewmate Dick Gordon orbiting above in the command module Yankee Clipper."

    Why is a porn site advertising on here!?! People of all ages come to slashdot. Also, slashdot advertising is about IT, not porn! Just because they add Geeks to their description does not make it jusitifiable.

    Just how did they get pass this?

    Are there any restrictions as to what I can write for my site description? IndustryBrains understands that each advertiser may have their own unique way of marketing their site. However, we must maintain some editorial and pricing integrity with our advertisers. Our Listing Editors will refuse any listing that may have an unrelated search term associated with the URL. Also, if an adult advertiser claims that it is not, IndustryBrains has the right to refuse the listing as well as listings in the future
