Playmate Photo From Apollo 12 Up For Auction
Kilrah_il writes "When the Apollo 12 crew left Earth for a trip to the Moon, they did not know that the ground crew hid a surprise in one of the command module lockers: a calendar photo of Playboy Playmate DeDe Lind. Now this card is offered for auction, after being kept in the personal collection of command module pilot Richard Gordon, who added the following memo: 'This is to certify that the accompanying 4.5" x 6.25" cue card did, indeed, accompany me on my trip to the moon in the Command Module Yankee Clipper aboard the historic Apollo 12 lunar landing mission. This cue card, which flew with me to the moon, has been in my sole possession and part of my personal space collection since my return from the moon in 1969 aboard America's second lunar landing mission, and it remains one of the all-time greatest Apollo era astronaut "Gotcha's!"' For those interested, the minimum bid is $1000." Warning, contains pixelated nudity.
As a scientist, and a feminist, this offends me.
Is it just me or do women seem to have gotten prettier over the years?
Not to be rude or anything, but todays girls just seem cuter.
There are exceptions of course - but I spy a trend...

To the younger generations who are easily corrupted by things like the hot coffee mod, pixelated nudity is even more dangerous than clear unfiltered nudity.
Oh noes! Why, somebody might be confronted with their Puritannical objection to the human form. What'rewegonnado?!?!?!
That must suck to be such a walking contradiction. Go ahead and reconcile these two things: "I believe in a Creator God who is perfect in every way and therefore made us as he intended us to be" and "The human form is indecent, shameful, and must be covered up at all times or I will get very offended and butthurt and raise a lot of drama." That's Puritanism for you.
Course the easily offended need to fuck off no matter why they're easily offended. This particular one though is different from your run-of-the-mill easily offended person who's just a pansy.

I don't know about that, but I have heard of nudity, via pixles.
(Obviously nsfw)
Is it just me, or did this link to pixelated nudity get slashdotted much faster than the usual links?

If they had this on Apollo 13 they would not have been able to save the mission . . . distraction and "other" activities would have taken precedence
nobody can hear you fap!
"Houston, I'm sending both of the other Astronauts out for a spacewalk. I found this Playmate photo here, and need some private time to have a wank. Ha! All you 'mile high club' folks can kiss my hairy ass. I'm halfway to the moon and having 'one off the wrist'! Beat that!"

Another notable Playboy pinup is Nov. 1972's Lena Söderberg whos image has been used in an example in image processing papers since 1973.
You can't spell "pixelated nudity" without "nudity". And you can't put that in a Slashdot summary without slashdotting the site, it seems . . .

Being offended is a quick and easy power trip: it's a way to control other people.
"Oh I'm offended by your actions! And because I'm offended, YOU are the one that has to change their behavior! Because I can't be troubled to: turn off the TV, radio, computer; change channels or web page; not buy the book; etc.. And no, I am unable to monitor my children therefore; everyone else has to change their behavior just so my children don't see or hear anything that I may find offensive."

Back then, they could send men to the Moon, but they didn't have Photoshop.
Since the page is slashdotted, I can't tell if the photo is a nude or not.
oh, I guess the server is officially down now.. thanks to this Slashdot posting :]

He was alone in lunar orbit for more than a full day while Conrad and Bean landed on the moon. If he took advantage of his solitude to "rub one out", he probably would have done so while on the far side of the moon, where his biomed telemetry couldn't be monitored by Houston. :)
His crewmates also had some porn stashed with them on the moon. Playboy images were inserted into the lunar surface checklists used during the moonwalks.

I appreciate the warning, so I won't waste time clicking on it - what with it being pixelated.

When I walk through the frozen food aisle eggo waffles occasionally catch my attention from the corner of my eye and I wonder why anyone would need to pixellate food items, until I realize it is just the waffle pattern.

For the record I also wonder why the Japanese pixelate their porn.

Since the site is Slashdotted, I thought these links might help:
Google cache takes a long time to come up, and won't show the image, but you can read the text. Click on the word Cached.

L'esperienza de questa dolce vita (The experience of this sweet life) - Dante Alighieri, The Divine Comedy
It was a tradition on a few of US ballistic missle submarines (boomers) that I was on, to have "tube woman". When there was 16 days left in the patrol, a different laminated Playmate centerfold picture was hung from the corresponding missile tube (old boomers had 16 missile tubes). As the days counted down, a different Playmate was placed on the corresponding number missile tube hatch. The joy of seeing the different pictures as they made their way down the tubes reminded you that the days left on the patrol were winding down and you would soon be home. The first tube day was also the official start of BOCOD (Beat off cut off date), participation on that was voluntary.
I doubt the tube woman tradition still goes on, to many people in this day and age get offended at the simplest things.
And replace any apollo era astronauts or ride along with any of them it would be the crew of Apollo 12. They had fun, a LOT of fun on that mission and swore and cussed a lot too.

Technically, her image didn't go to the moon, just near it. As the command module pilot, he and his billiards buddy orbited the moon while Pete and Al got all the glory and attention. Close, but no cigar, so to speak.

You are not alone. 1966 through 1973 was a magical time. The sexual revolution was in full swing but the style was still natural, innocent and unconsciously sexual. There hasn't been anything like it since.

I agree, I think that the women of the 60's and 70's were much more attractive than the girls of the new millennium.
I expect it's something that is entirely subjective, and therefore not worth arguing about.

What I love about these contemporary girls, man. I get older, they stay the same age.
At least we can all be grateful that the picture didn't roll around in the capsule and blow the hatch prematurely...

Interesting...and take note that the music inside said casing was so darn good that he didn't need to do that as a stunt, so presumably he had real good reasons.
I listen to both RIAA and non-RIAA stuff if I like the music, tangential business/politics nonwithstanding.
I still couldn't help wondering whether the warning was against the nudity or the pixelation...
Yes

Personally, I think 60s and 70s porn is inferior to modern and older material.[NSFW]
We have not made a marriage that does not have a considerable number of children. In this context, it is very important to give careful attention to this issue which is always a concern. We all know that children do not have the capacity of an adult to stay at a table for several hours, much less appreciate (some exceptions), feast dishes and flavors intense. ... ... Have the kids happy and well fed is no doubt that all points we must consider as essential to organizing the wedding.
At the same time it should take into consideration that children should always be the first to be served. For it is easy to become an adult watching a child while she eats, the opposite is very difficult
Nothing better than to think with due care the question of food and entertainment to the children.
In my experience over the years, the "formula"that have had more success boils down to first serve children from beginning to end and then begin its lunch (or dinner) wedding, and after the meal for children is important to think of a children's entertainment program will not involve new costs

What? The 1960s girl looks cute to me (link below). Also it's worth noting today's playmates are not real and therefore not comparable. They are photoshopped to remove blemishes, expand breasts, erase fat knees, give them flatter butts, and so on. 60s women didn't have those advantages, so you're looking at the actual girl including her flaws:
