The mystery of the image of an astronaut cleaned by Rudesind

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Would logic follow that you should apologize to the group of "striving pedants" as well? I'm not offended, mind you, but I AM an instigator 'round these parts.

Or was it the way he misspelled "coff" that bugged you?

In any case here's another image with visor, flag, landscape and earthrise:

Though I would guess it is a composite as depicted in an oil painting created by an artist of Urth, about Earth, before the moon got all forested up.
