Today I was searching for a photo of a US flag on the Moon, and

(I found it to be an interesting read, although there are key points
that I don't entirely agree with.)

Yes it was an interesting read to me as well. Thanks. It is healthy to see
both sides of a story, that is the official version and the perceived
version. Then there is alway what really happened;-)

I just read the article on "Flying" in the December issue of National
Geographic. It honors the 100th anniversary of flight. It is a great read
with a set of "reflections" on the first 100 years of flight. At the same
time it looks forward to the next 100 years of flight and what that might
bring if we dare to dream. It was saddening in a way because we could have
been to Mars by now. Instead we are still flying around in LEO.
