Someone did a stupid Photoshop job. No way can you see stars in the middle of the day.

Did you mean to put that in green text?

Nope, the stars are not visible when they were standing on the moon in the sun. No more than you can see a star here on Earth in the middle of the day.

Look at any of the NASA photos. No stars are visible.

You are correct - I was somehow confusing "stars" with black background in my mind. I did some searching and apparently there are so difficult to see that photographs don't pick them up. Mea Culpa.

I was just looking at a blueprint of a machine my shop is repairing (yes, a real blue print).

I checked the date, the print is almost exactly 1 year older than I am.
All done by hand, no 'puters, by a real drafting artist.

Very cool, what's really impressive to me is that the text was also done by hand. I assume the line drawing was done with the aid of a rulers, guides, etc. To do the text and have it come out looking like it came out of a printing press is pretty amazing.

^^Pretty cool!

It's a 4 stage hydrogen barrel compressor, spins at 8200 rpm, weighs 53,000 lubs, 5000 hp electric motor makes it go roundy round.
Neat stuff.

I feel so fortunate that my father taught me drafting. I have all his old drafting tools and table. It amazes me that there are still architects out there who refuse to use CAD.
