According to the Wikipedia entry on Moon landing conspiracy theories the blueprints to the moon buggy are missing too.
This is a real shame. Even now, forty years later, we still don't have a fold-away electric car. It's almost as if technology has regressed since the space age
I have an extremely small garage, so a fold-away car would be just the thing. The world is a poorer place for that NASA oversight.
But at least I know that such a thing actually existed - because I used to see one unfold, drive around and then magically fold back into a single stick-like line in the cartoon series "Wacky Races".
It would be interesting to know how, back then, the LEM could hold a fold-away car, two Astronauts. their provisions, cameras (still and video), computer guidance system, water and all the other equipment necessary for survival and broadcast to another world. And all packed in a light-weight structure that looked like it was built from kitchen foil, bent coat-hangers, and camping tin plates.
But I guess we can never know now since all the blueprints have gone bye-bye.
And you're so right. The world is a technologically poorer place for these NASA losses, oversights and cock-ups.
Sad, sad, sad.:bawling:
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
