I've been playing around the last few days with trying to find a new desktop background. I finally settled on one I really like and I've posted it below. I'm curious as to what UMSF-related background people are using.

This is the JPEG compressed version. If anyone would like the png version, let me know.

EDIT: Updated image.

I've got as my desktop (at the moment) a rarely-published section of a panorama taken by Buzz Aldrin on July 20, 1969:

This pan includes the only decent image of Neil Armstrong taken from the lunar surface -- Neil is working on someting at the MESA table.

The pan is rarely seen because of the sun flare, which someone (our very own Ian R, if I recall correctly) did a very good job of artistically dealing with on this particular reproduction.

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.
