NASA just posted a whole load of High Res Apollo mission photos to flickr. https://www.flickr.com/photos/projectapolloarchive/albums
(collapse tags for massive resoultion)
There's some exceptionally beautiful shots, and here was me thinking that posting this would be a total non sequitur. Next time you see someone deserving of getting an Aldrin special to the face, you can just link them there. I mean, they still won't believe you, but that's the Internet for you.

Re: The thread of win
I know not many would care about it but my god the NRL (National Rugby League) grand final was just so much win packed into 80 mins.
The team I have been supporting for 7 years (Nth Queensland Cowboys) just won their first premiership title through a miracle performance in the last minute of regulation play.
For those interested in what went down I have put part of a newspaper article in the collapsed text.
Another win was that I was at the stadium to watch it all go down and cheer them on!

It was the greatest grand final of all-time in the history of “The Greatest Game of All”. With less than 20 seconds to go in regulation, the Cowboys trailed 16-12, their dreams of their first ever premiership all but done.
A wild side-to-side play ended with a dramatic Kyle Feldt try in the corner and the scores level at 16-all. Champion half and four-times Dally M Medal winner Johnathan Thurston had a shot from the sideline to win it all. It looked over. For all money. Yet it clipped the post and fell short.
The drama was far from over. For the second time in premiership history, a grand final was sent to extra-time. The Cowboys had the momentum. They would claim the premiership.
Off the North Queensland kick-off, Ben Hunt spilled the kick-off, reminiscent of Martin Bella 21 years before. Every great game needs a goat. Hunt, one of Brisbane’s stars all year, was the goat for the 2015 decider.
The next set Thurston – as he has done so often – slotted a one-pointer to give North Queensland their first premiership 20 years after playing their first season.

I think Cronulla is now the only team still playing to have not won a premiership.

To my knowledge, Cronulla, Titans & Warriors are the only teams that have not won premierships. Cronulla have definitely been the longest sufferer of a premiership drought though.

Re: The thread of win
Now, I tend to give rugby league a lot of stick for being more of a highlights reel than a sport, but that sounds like a sick final!
(And yes, I know the NRL is way better than the Super League. I stand by my baseless prejudice )

Speaking of highlights reel here is the one from the game! The moment I was talking about occurs at 3:38 of the vid.

Must've missed that post somehow, but congratulations, Memo!
And in personal win news... my book's been out for almost a year now, and I'm still getting professional reviews now and then. Better yet, people actually seem to like it! Here's the latest, if anyone's curious.

So, I've got confirmation that regardless of whether I'll be able to do a Desert Bus call-in or not, my little publishing company WILL be a sponsor of Desert Bus 9...
And the first pair of books for prizes and auctions are already on their way.

This is largely positive but a little scary so I think it goes in the win thread but I am supervising a masters student this year.

Re: The thread of win
So I can "be" happy.
But I can only "have" heat.
Thanks for the clarification.
For my next deliberate grammar abuse I'll go around saying "Estoy calor" to everyone in Catalonia.
