Nasa releases more than 17,000 photos from the Apollo programme

Nasa has released more than 17,000 photos from the 33 Apollo astronauts who made it into space for the lunar missions, including the 12 men who set foot on the moon's surface.
The archive, released through the Nasa-funded Lunar And Planetary Institute, shows not only the famous photos of Apollo 11 but everyday work for the astronauts as they completed their scheduled tasks in what must be history's most breathtaking workplace.
And the archive also shows that it wasn't a sight-seeing tour - with many of the photos showing experiments, lunar surface details and relatively mundane subject matter.

Taking over four decades to release them certainly lends fuel to those that say they doctor photos before releasing them. They sure had a lot of time. I guess they waited for the latest Photoshop tools......LOL

Once upon a time, I lived across the street from a guy who worked at Grumman Aerospace. He was there during the Apollo missions.

His kids and I were great friends. They would show me photos he would get at work that were given to all the employees who worked on the project.

Aside from the incredible human achievement, they also have a real nostalgic sort of feeling to me.

Everyone knows we didn't land on the moon. I saw some guys on TV say so, and you can't say anything on TV that isn't true.
