CNN ran a story with link to archive of NASA Apollo images: "....The images themselves aren't new, but they were shared en masse recently on the Project Apollo Archive Flickr account.
The archive is maintained by space enthusiast Kipp Teague and includes Apollo-related digital images released into the public domain by NASA. It contains more than 12,000 photos."
And oh my dear Lord I find these stunningly beautiful.
(Well, obviously copying from a Flickr acct, even with attribution failed. So, let's go to NASA, w/out detracting from yeoman work done by Mr. Teague.

Now don't you feel bad for wanting to see Justin's "Bieber?"
