Wired seems to often not include links directly to whom they're writing about. Check out the LOIRP at http://www.moonviews.com/ and find some of the original images they've recovered... along with lots of other great information.
Traditionally-print publications have a huge problem with linking to whatever they are talking about. I've seen articles about a video which don't link to the video the article is about.
Interestingly, this is often because writers are not allowed to add links. Links are the domain of the editors, which is a separate union.
Blogs get around this by not being published "articles", so the author can add their own linking. This is one reason why "blogs" are called out so explicitly on news websites.
> Between 1966 and ’67, five Lunar Orbiters snapped pictures onto 70mm film from about 30 miles above the moon. The satellites were sent mainly to scout potential landing sites for manned moon missions. Each satellite would point its dual lens Kodak camera at a target, snap a picture, then develop the photograph. High- and low-resolution photos were then scanned into strips called framelets using something akin to an old fax machine reader.
Before they were doing this, spy satellites would hurl the data back to Earth in a capsule, then use a plane to try and pick it out of mid-air. You had to wear gloves when pulling it into the plane's cargo hold, the capsule would have been searingly hot. One time the recovery crew saw a Soviet submarine in the waves beneath them, from then on they stuck to radio transmissions only.
This have been an ongoing project for many years and a lot of really nice articles have come out over the years. I remember once seeing a lot of nice photographs from the old McDonalds restaurant that showed some nice details about their setup.
