Thnx... Interesting!

 

"...Not only was little expected of those first pictures taken from space, but there was serious concern that taking pictures of other nations from orbit would be seen as an act of ill will and even one of war, as sovereign and sensitive nations might resent having pictures taken from orbit..."

 

60 years ago they were worried about setting nations off.  Now... We just have Russia monkey stomping a sovereign country... Countries... /smdh

 

Look! I see Egypt and the Red Sea! 😏

One of the biggest hoaxes in American history.

 

Evidently you have not watched some of the Superbowls where the zebras would look more appropriate in costumed wrestling match.

The hoax idea gained traction when we “witnessed” a flag being blown around in an area that has no wind. In fact, shouldn’t the flag material have floated upward vertically rather than staying in a horizontal direction?

Floated? In what medium?  The flag has springs in it to keep it flaggy.

I remember seeing one of the astronauts on a later lunar mission plant the flag and then pull the banner straight out to unfurl the wires inside.

For All Mankind on Apple TV is a fun alternate reality show about the Moon landing and space program.
