No mention of this on their new whizz bang website, not on the calendar, one reference to the mission under the NASA History link (if you look for it). Nothing! Is it just too painful a reminder that no one has been back since (a lack of political vision rather than theirs), what?! ".....and God willing we shall return." Astro0

You're right, though; it should be recognized as the outrage that it really is. Sometimes people have to get angry to change things. Thanks for reminding us, Astro! -------------------- 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.
