NASA gives us free space

NASA has uploaded the entire catalogue of its 8,4000 Apollo mission photographic archive onto Flickr - with images spanning the Apollo 7 mission (the first manned test flight in 1968) through to Apollo 17, the final lunar mission in 1972. The images were caught by astronauts using a  modified Hasselblad camera. The images are absolutely fabulous!
