What a great and interesting read. Thanks for sharing it here!

Some of those Apollo 17 photos are especially epic, did he fall over? I have heard that the moon dust is electrostaticly charged and sticks to everything, but it is all over him, and those selfies. He looks terrible, exactly like I would expect someone to look with 12 days, no shower, in a vehicle the size of a cargo van with 2 other dudes, after grubbing around in electrostatic dust. Salutes
kencausey•2mo ago
My understanding is that there is a lot of very fine lunar dust and in the lower gravity even a small amount of static electricity on you means that you are quickly covered in the dust.
robotresearcher•2mo ago
Right, and the dust is from shattered meteorites rather than erosion. So it has very sharp edges instead of being smoothed out by tumbling in water like terrestrial rock dust. Really not very good for them to breathe in.

"About Cole Rise

Cole Rise is a photographer, entrepreneur, pilot, and space camera maker. He’s the designer of the original Instagram icon and filters and has shot for brands and tourism boards around the world. Obsessed with space and the cameras we sent to the moon, Cole has spent the last six years building a custom workshop for rebuilding the cameras that traveled with us on our greatest journeys, from Mercury to the Shuttle, using many of the same tools and materials available in those time periods."

This photo is amazing.

Can you imagine being so far away from Earth and looking back to the planet you live on? The experience is said to be life changing.

The realization we’re all human and we’re all living together on this small rock that is floating through space. The overwhelming feeling that we should all be working together for the collective good of our species. Because in the end, all we have is each other.

Instead, it’s an utter shitshow of those in power that are only in it for themselves.

Yes, I can imagine.

It is all I can do, to consider the alternatives but rather make my own mind up about what should happen.

If I, ever, were to see humanity under my thumb from so far away, I would delight in knowing I was far enough away to see just how fragile it is, and always will be.

We humans are a special lot. Thumb sized.

sho_hn•2mo ago
The photos embedded in this page are wonderful. They're so high-quality it makes the mission feel so much more immediate.

Is there any great photo album website for Apollo?

aplc0r•2mo ago
Not sure about a site, but I would highly recommend the book "Apollo Remastered" by Andy Saunders: https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/andy-saunders/apoll...

Thank you!

You're welcome! He has prints available as well, I've been meaning to get one for the office.

Given the reputation for the cost and provenance of the cameras I'm surprised that Hasselblad passed through QC with that solder spooge at the edge that got into the frame of the film. I mean... it's visible on all the photos. I'm surprised that someone didn't notice that in testing before the camera left and send it back. Hell, even if I bought a cheap camera today and every photo has a little unexposed notch in the edge I'd be pissed. If you told me a camera was going to the moon I'd think I'd want the frame to be flawless....
