Wow, it's lucky you were there to take a reasonably good photo, Moose.
Of course, it would have been better using an OM, but you are forgiven for
that enforced lapse.
So, was it really 16 July?

Well, that's a shame. But on the other hand, they are making a vast number
of historical images available.

Image quality isn't much, though. I don't have the flag image, but I do have
the next one. Compare the Google/Life version
<http://images.google.com/hosted/life/f?q=1960s+Apollo+space+source:life&img

to this one. <http://www.moosemystic.net/Gallery/Others/Zeiss/24_17.htm>
