Last chance to kick in for the Lunar Orbiter Image Recovery Project

The Lunar Orbiter Image Recovery Project, which seeks to convert and preserve priceless lunar mission data from old analog media for future space nerds, has just a few hours left to reach its goal. Previous BB post here with video, and Maggie has more here. As tweeted by William Shatner! Yes, people will write checks to explore space. You can donate here, for a few more hours.

My friend @xeni shared a great story about some NASA footage that was thought lost. Kudos to Wingo & Cowing. MBB tinyurl.com/lunarorbiter
