A really cool thing I am enjoying over the weekend is that the John F.
Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum is replying the Apollo 11
mission audio in real time at http://wechoosethemoon.org. It has some
nice animations showing the what is going on. As I post this, the
audio is silent and the spacecraft is behind the moon (loss of signal)
doing the lunar orbital insertion burn. Landing is in a little over
26 hours (forty years ago....).

Here's the NASA's riposte to the "it was all shot in Universal's back
lot" conspiracy theorists: the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter's photos of
the Apollo landing sites.

Photoshopped! ;-)

You can never prove anything to a conspiracy theorist. The new pictures are
actually for the rest of us.

Yeah, I know. I was kidding. Ya gotta feel sorry for them, though: it
must be hell to be in love with a conspiracy rather than another person!

BTW, http://www.apolloarchive.com/ is worth bookmarking if you haven't
already. It contains all available digitised Apollo photos as well as
links to related sites.

IMHO, Lane Wallace is an outstanding aviation writer. A worthy successor
to Gordon Baxter.

Well, she'll never replace Bax, but she's pretty good
in her own write.

A few years back she devoted her column to the sailplane
experience, riding in, as I recall, a two-seat Grob. I was
disappointed that she didn't seem overly impressed with
the experience.
