Apollo Missions and the Moon

You may notice that there are no Star Wars or Star Trek themes here, and no pictures based on fantasy.  With that in mind, I hope you enjoy these wallpaper designs.  After all, the Apollo missions gave us some of the best views of the Moon to date, and the view we have with the naked eye can be just as bewitching.

To set image as wallpaper, click on thumbnail to bring up full size image in separate window, then right click on full size image to bring up a little menu, choose "Set as wallpaper..." from menu (in Internet Explorer).  If you have a Windows 98 or later OS on your computer, you should be able to use the "stretch" option to compensate for the difference between your screen resolution size and the picture size, if one exists.  Most pictures were kept at the largest reasonable resolution size to preserve the image quality.
