I have a page on Apollo which is updated annually. Do others feel more optimistic than i do on the prospects for return? I for one won't believe we will leave LEO until the hardware to do it is actually being built.

Interesting article, although it's not a new theory. In fact, there is a Surveyor I image taken just after sunset which shows a rather sharply-defined, narrow horizontal cloud sitting at zero-phase to the setting sun and floating parallel to the horizon. Its height would be dependent on its distance from the camera, which was impossible to determine.
It was an extended exposure, and the photo interpreters of the time suspected it was some kind of lens artifact, shadowing the bright line of horizon below it. But no one ever came up with a decent tectnical explanation as to why that would have happened. So, the image seems to definitely show something real, not just a camera artifact. I used to have a link to that image (I believe it appears in the NASA publication "Exploring Space with a Camera"). But this cloud is very apparent and obvious in the image. -the other Doug -------------------- “The trouble ain't that there is too many fools, but that the lightning ain't distributed right.” -Mark Twain
