Dale, are you part of the Apollo conspiracy as well?!
Oh, no, we're doomed!
Get it right- the Earth is flat, at the center of the Universe, and the Sun revolves around it! Don't fall for the Copernican conspiracy!
Glad to have got you straightened out.

It still blows my mind to think that we went up there, came back safe and sound. You'd have to have something missing from your brain not to be buzzed by this great achievement.

I'll be toasting them all.

And then just packed up and came home again.

Still, I continue to believe that the Greeks, Trojans and Jupiter orbit will be the real centres of human civilisation. All that luvverly mass just floating there all bunched up.

O'Neill was right - the proper home for man is space, not sitting at the bottom of some gravity well.

Dale - minor correction - Apollo 14 didn't have a lunar rover. They had a sort of shopping cart thing which is what has left the tracks. Indeed, the struggles they had with this were part of the reason to upgrade to the "j-missions" and the lunar lander.

Having spent years being sneered at by retarded conspiracy theorists, these are quite satisfying to see, although obviously not surprising. Presume they will all hold up their hands and admit they were wrong, just like they did about Anastasia, socialism, etc.

Yeah, Cats, the shadows are all wrong.

(Seriously though, awesome photos.)

Manuel is right, the first lunar buggy was Apollo 15.
