Simon: Why do you say that?

It's nothing. Forget it.

What did you expect telescope evidence to look like?

I'm betting that Seethruart/Piper will be colourising this image to show faces or spaceships or towers any time soon...

I love sarcastic humour

Especially since the object labelled "Santa Claus" is clearly a large object (sleigh) with several small objects (spacesuit-clad reindeer) in front of it.

The object labelled "O2 cloud" is probably an accumulation of urine dumps from the case of beer smuggled aboard, labelled "moist towlettes".

Eisenhower's "civilian" versus "military" distinction is mostly revisionism. Even astronautix.com can't decide whether the Viking was a civilian or a military rocket. There was indeed a rocket rivalry between the branches of the armed services (Army: Jupiter, USAF: Atlas), but Eisenhower wanted the satellite launched on a booster of American design, lest the victory be tempered by an accusation that it was really a German rocket. It was well known that the Jupiter was almost exclusively a German design while the Viking was American. I don't think the Atlas was ever seriously considered.
I checked over the (even more authoritative) This New Ocean by Burroughs this morning, which states that there was some real resentment of the Germans in Washington because of the Nazi tie-in, and that this was a major reason why Eisenhower held back the Army effort.

Furthermore, the S-IVB was brighter that the CSLM because of its size, and many
others saw this instead of the CSLM. We observed the S-IVB and CSLM of Apollo 8 when it was
nearly 200,000 miles from the earth, but they were extremely faint, and with no sign of the SLA panels.

There is a minor mistake in the text here which I didn't see anyone comment on yet. Apollo 8 did not carry a LM so it would not have been referred to as a CSLM. Wouldn't it have just been the Apollo 8 CSM?

Nah! Must have been a hoax. Otherwise, why add the unnecesary weight of an extra letter 'L', when only 3 letters were needed in the design to land. Or something.
