Astronauts visit Surveyor 3 - Cool NASA Picture
« on: April 20, 2014, 06:06:36 PM »
I thought some of you might enjoy the picture and story at the link.  Apollo 12 astronauts Commander Charles Conrad Jr. and astronaut Alan L. Bean visited the Surveyor 3 moon lander just a little more than two years after it arrived at the moon.   :cool:

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

Supposedly, the film was made by Kodak specifically for the Apollo missions.
