Sorry, YOU'RE wrong
LJK — (archived)

I have to disagree with you in that wonderfully space geeky nitpicking way.

I was referring to the first image taken on the surface by an astronaut ON
the actual surface, touching it with his spacesuit boots, not through the
LM window and touching the lunar surface via the LM landing legs.

And you are way off that I implied any disregard or disdain for the nation
that put Armstrong and Aldrin there. Far from it. I am quite proud that
the USA was able to accomplish that ancient dream - and quite sad that
neither we nor anyone else has repeated it since 1972 (and I'll believe in
VSE, the CEV, and all those other claims when the rockets finally lift off
their pads).

I was merely pointing out the delicious little irony that among the first items
taken of the Moon from the lunar surface was a bag full of trash, which is
what was in that white bag (and which I now see I did not mention before
and did not mean to assume that everyone would know what was in it).

It was a comment on collective humanity and how we are going to be human
wherever we go.
