I guess this is Google's way of telling media companies in Canada / Australia how they feel about link taxes. I wonder where they got their training data though..

I have commented on HN before that I have been skeptical of the moon landing ever happening, but I've spent some time on apolloinrealtime.org listening and reading the Apollo 11, 13, and 17 moon landing transcripts and I have come around. It sounds way too real to be faked.

In that light, I think it was an incredible feat of engineering for the late 60s, and early 70s. Keep in mind, Japan was unable to land a probe on the moon as recently as last year.

Do I think it was worth it? That's debatable, but the engineers and scientists involved accomplished something pretty fantastic and that alone deserves some merit.
