    Is that really what it is? Or is it proof that the moon landing was filmed at Yankee Stadium??

    Seriously though, I’d be interested to see similar graphics for the other missions.

    Also in space news, the Jules Verne ATV successfully docked with the ISS. You ought to cover that.

    Jules Verne had been in a holding orbit till the space shuttle and a supply ship cleared off.
