Break out those stereo glasses!

Last manned mission to the moon. It's sad that we've stayed away since.

Did you know that the Chinese are trying to implement a manned space program? They want to go to the moon. I guarantee that if they do, and plant their flag there, the IAU will accept their names for various objects and landmarks. Remember the weird Soviet Russian commie names for craters on the far side of the moon?

Where's our national pride? Are we going to just sit in Low Earth Orbit and watch as the ChiComs get Hadley Rille renamed to East is Gloriously Red Valley - or something like that? Or will we decide that being a has-been is not a good thing, and restart our manned moon exploration?

A public service: for those without red/blue specs, a version of the image above without a headache.

I can deal with stereo pairs. I can't deal with these blue-red or green-red stereo images. Yet NASA continues to publish them. NASA is still technologically in the Dark Ages when it comes to talking with the population at large.
