I'd been re-reading one of my space travel books and suddenly it hit me, while the LM ascent stages from Apollo's 5-9 & 11-17 are lost the ascent stage from Apollo 10 was left in a solar orbit when that mission left the moon.
With the increasing sophistication of amateur astronomy has anyone tried to find this historic vehicle? More to the point, have there been any attempts to do so with professional equipment in the past? |

Yep -- that's why they called it "Breakfast drink, orange." No semblance of a suggestion that there was any real juice in it.
My favorite recollection, though, was John Young's graphic descriptions of what his potassium-laden orange drink was doing to his lower intestinal tract, and how this was going to affect his future purchasing decisions... so to speak...  -the other Doug -------------------- “The trouble ain't that there is too many fools, but that the lightning ain't distributed right.” -Mark Twain
