sci-universe:

I haven’t looked at the Moon the same way since every image the astronauts took during NASA’s Apollo Missions got published. Here, I’ve picked out some photos of the lunar surface.

I especially like the last one because of the hand reflection.
It will soon be 50 years since the first manned landing, but the true space age is yet to come.

You can see the Project Apollo Archive’s collection of more than 10,000 high-resolution images on Flickr.
