I have two questions:

1. What happened to Apollo 9? The fact that it does not appear on that list means that we have all the photos or does it mean that do not have any photo?

2. What is the meaning of "digitized faithfully"?

1) Apollo 9 (AS-504)
Manned Test of Lunar Hardware in Earth Orbit
The Apollo 9 mission was the first manned flight of all Apollo lunar hardware in Earth orbit and first manned flight of the lunar module. Lunar module pilot Russel L. Schweickart performed a 37 minute EVA. Human reactions to space and weightlessness were tested in 152 orbits.

I guess the photos they took are of no interest to anyone...
Or they all show UFO's

2) If he means 'unairbrushed' I want to see what he is comparing them too...
and what controls were used... I would assume it means direct from the raw film... but assumptions don't work here

I say we rent some buses and storm the film library!!!

They can't get us all....

Ummm anyone know where they keep em?

Hello ATS,

This is my first post here and I've been reading damn near every single post over the past week mainly the two threads "John Lears' Moon Pictures on ATS" and "Did the Space Shuttle dock at the Secret Space Station tonight?" On top of that I've also been reading countless other websites people have linked and doing my own background search to learn as much as I could about many of the well known and renowned names sometimes mentioned.

Needless to say I've absorbed an insane amount of knowledge, or should I say theories, over the past week as some of these topic were started at the beginning of the year.

In reply however to your post Zorgon and the last few saying how the Apollo 9 pictures were not on Keith Laney's list that was posted. Did you overlook his update at the bottom? I don't know when that site was updated.

*UPDATE!*
It appears that once again, we ask, and they deliver.
After years of lobbying by this program and with the support of many others independently, The Lunar and Planetary Institute, in cooperation with Arizona State University and Johnson Space Center, is pulling the original Apollo films out of cold storage and scanning them using the latest digital imaging technology, and will be archiving them online in stunningly fresh full resolution beauty, accessible to all!

They will be archived here when the job's complete
but for now peruse their few example Metric images

The Apollo 9 Pictures Keith didn't have on his list are listed here:

Apollo Photographic Support Data

At least I'm assuming these are the pictures that you were saying are missing? Or, is there some other pictures from the Apollo 9 mission that have vanished like the films Neil Armstrong took with the hand camera from the Apollo 11?

There is also a lot of very interesting information in those .PDF files they have detailing altitudes, locations and much more.

On a side note to Zorgon or John in regards to the pictures John Lenard posted. I believe you can clearly see the Pleiades (star cluster) near what he is trying to identify. I suppose it would help to know his location here of when he took the pictures, but wouldn't some of the constellations and stars in his pictures help locate any secret space station and its relative orbit?
