I've decided to start a new thread dedicated to the Apollo program, and I shall start the ball rolling by posting an assortment of mosaics and other images that I have been working on during the past few months.
LM ASCENT MOSAICS: Apollo 14: Turtle Rock and Station H are clearly visible, as are the tracks leading up to the ALSEP. Compare to the lunar orbiter view: -------------------- |

Courtesy of the Apollo 11 Lunar Surface Journal - here's an enhanced picture of one of the shots of Buzz at the flag. You can clearly see his face even through the gold visor. He has turned his head to the left to look at Armstrong but his helmet remains facing forward.
Once you've seen the enhanced version, it's easy to see Buzz in the 'normal' version. You know, try as I might, I couldn't find any references on NASA's homepage yesterday to recognize the anniversary of the Apollo 11 landing. It's incredible that even NASA couldn't be bothered to commemorate perhaps its crowning achievement. -------------------- Jonathan Ward

It's incredible that even NASA couldn't be bothered to commemorate perhaps its crowning achievement. Wow. I never even thought to check, but thanks for doing so. What a depressing (though completely accurate) observation. I'm sure hoping that Apollo doesn't degenerate into an urban legend by the time I'm an old(er) man. -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.
