    It's such a joke that we've almost been to Iraq more times in the last 30 years than the moon....

    sigh

    "On Apollo 15, 16 and 17, we took a lunar rover to the moon and really maximized the scientific return on the last three missions," Abbey said. "It was a time of great challenge and there was a lot of activity going on all the time. When we flew Apollo 17 in December 1972 , the crew was already training for the first flight of [the space station] Skylab, which took place in May 1973."

    And more to come...

    That calendar on the bracelet just brought back some childhood memories. My dad used to wear those on his red LED digital watch.
