Peter, Thanks for the "context".(posted 8812 days ago)Of course, given (which no-one was, at first) the symbolism and personal meaning of the "Moonrock" photo-ceremony, (as well as an understanding of just what it is we are looking at), some different responses may be elicited.
I like to think that some of the "heat" in parts of this thread might have been lessened by a "pre" rather than "post"-sharing of some of your thinking. "Et tu Brute?" wouldn't have much to say to a non-Latin-speaking listener who knew nothing of Roman history or stage-plays. To me the "story-behind-it" is the ONLY thing that gives substance to this somewhat vague (at least on MY screen) and esthetically lacking shot.
My sympathies to your wife on the "church-harm"...nothing new there (unfortunately)!
