Stop taking me so seriously. Apollo 12 is my favourite mission.

First, they destroy the television camera.  Then they smudge the camera lens on one of the Hasselblads.  Then they leave a magazine on the surface.

And of course, Al Bean has to get 6 stitches in his forehead after getting cracked in the head by a camera at splashdown. (Admittedly it was kind of a rough splashdown.)

I think there's a reason Al became a painter rather than a photographer in later life.

Which magazine was it? National Geographic? Playboy?

That would be National Selenographic. I'm sure it wasn't Playboy because that was firmly fixed to their cuff checklists.

The CT: The reflections in the glass clearly show a second light source. Besides, the radiation
             levels would have caused the water to boil. And why can't you see any stars?

The Economist: The low marginal cost of filling the unused volume means the fixed investment in the glass is not fully utilized.

There's a ren faire stand-up comedy duo called Puke and Snot; a quote from their act has it, "Some people look at this glass and say it's half full.  Others just gaze stupidly into the cup."

I think that probably sums up my membership of this board over the years ... my signature has created more conversation that any of the points I have ever made.
