Finally done with my thesis and whatnot, so I should have some time to myself to start posting again.

There’s a picture circulating around the web that really took me by surprise. I’ll post it here just to share.

I made it as big as possible to share the effect. This is a re-rendered shot from a video taken from inside the Lunar Lander on the Apollo 11 moon mission. The picture, is Neil Armstrong, the first man on the moon. The cool part is that there aren’t many pictures of Armstrong taking his first steps, there’s plenty of video taken by him of Buzz Aldrin taking his own first steps from the lander to the moon’s regolith (soil, terrain, “earth” although all are poor synonyms), but very little of himself, and none of one of the moon men’s faces. The picture of a human face inside those big, bulky suits just gives an air of humanity about this mission and undertaking where before, all we really had to relate to was a pictures of white suits in a foreign landscape. As the title says, it really hits home what was accomplished 40 years ago this day.

To all the nay-sayers, here’s more proof. Could it be photoshopped? Probably. And if there were a cover-up, the government would surely keep it up. However, there’s so much evidence to the contrary that’s it’s not even funny. Here’s a listing of the top 5 reasons we did do what we said we did. Sorry, it’s from Askmen.com, but it does lay out the premises of each of the five reasons fairly well.

**Sorry, don’t know why it won’t let me post the pic, I’ll try and get on it. I posted a link to it though.
