Apollo-Era Photos Now Up at NASA's Flickr Account, In High-Res

Posted by timothy on from the fruits-of-operation-paperclip dept.

    They've always been available; as printed books. I have NASA Gemini mission books that are nothing but plates.

    It's good to know I'm not the only one who has to take a million crappy photos before I get a good one.
