General PERMANENT topics and new discussions
General topics which don't fit into any one category below ... but you can feel free to start any topic here, whereby later the moderator may move it to another category below. Since this is a new board, we can put most discussions here until there are more posts. This forum was started in mid-July 2009 (on the 40th anniversary of Apollo 11).
