Hey how about this yoga site ? It's even worse, in that the image doesn't even resemble the face of the moon we have seen for millenia. I first saw this image in a Wendy's ad a few years ago, with the message, "we're open late". At that time, I thought it must be an image of Ganymede, or something. Ironically, it is an image taken of our moon by the Galileo spacecraft on its way out to Jupiter.

Having rocketed off on this lunar tangent, I might circle back to the discussion perhaps with this comment from the Apollo 15 Lunar Surface Journal about the "Hammer and Feather" experiment:

[Scott - "The basic idea was Joe Allen's. It was another thing from sitting in the crew quarters at night, trying to figure out interesting things to do - that were useful, too. And I guess we had a lot of ideas. But Joe came up with the hammer and feather idea, and we decided where to get a feather. I had a friend who was a professor at the Air Force Academy. Their mascot's the Falcon. And we had the (LM) Falcon. So that was indeed, a falcon feather from an Air Force Academy bird. In fact, I had two of them. I was going to try it, first, to see if it worked - because of static charge and all that stuff it might have stuck to my glove. Didn't have time (for the trial run), so we just winged it. And it worked!"]

O tempora! O mores!
