I'd like to share this picture with you all. This is my favourite photograph taken on the Lunar surface, by Buzz Aldrin:
Ok, you're now asking yourselves, why that photo? What's so special about it?
Well, it's my favourite because of what happened next:
The Apollo Lunar Surface Journal, from which these pictures were taken, contains every historical document and article about all seven Apollo Lunar missions (including the ill-fated Apollo XIII); high-resolution scans of photographs, mission reports, flight plans, video footage, transcripts of radio communications - you name it, they've got it.
In my opinion, the ultimate tribute not only to Neil Armstrong and his crew, but to the entire Apollo endeavour.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
