Each has their own view and take on history that is what keeps the field of history going and the later interpretations of what happened way back when including preceived motives and potential "What if's".
Back to the picture at the start of the thread.
If you ever get a chance to go to Washington DC and visit the air and space museum there are plenty of things to take pictures of including the remains of the Apollo 11 capsule (it is small especially considering how long they stayed in the thing); a full size lunar lander, viking lander, HST etc. An amazing place and worth every cent of its free entry price. The guard by the piece of Moon rock looks bored and you can touch the rock sliver. Whether you actually touch the rock or the accumulated oils and grease from all the thousands who have touched it before is a matter for debate. It is a black rock.
Also interesting to see the former nuclear tipped missiles lined up on one wall complete with Russian lettering and tags indicating x number of these were targeted on location Z.
Another highlight is the Chuck Yeager sound barrier plane and the X15 rocket plane amongst the many other pioneering records.
