And it must have looked great on an online dating resume:<br /><br /><i>Six feet, muscular build, trim, non-smoker, Hero of the Soviet Union.</i><br><br>O Dockerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08674140306304705852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18283526.post-41930540611035975852011-04-12T21:33:24.404+00:002011-04-12T21:33:24.404+00:00Unlike the golfballs and retro-reflectors that lit...Unlike the golfballs and retro-reflectors that litter the moonscapeBaydoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00751866865203182109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18283526.post-2987756258751045132011-04-12T21:08:45.491+00:002011-04-12T21:08:45.491+00:00Oops, maybe the Apollo astronauts forgot to leave ...Oops, maybe the Apollo astronauts forgot to leave one behind :(JPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10749223049615363296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18283526.post-1421306484640763142011-04-12T20:02:36.002+00:002011-04-12T20:02:36.002+00:00I can't see the tripod.
