punditkitchen.com/2009/03/28/political-pictures-shot-apollo-11-facebook/Does it annoy anyone else when people see a photograph of an astronaut on the Moon and automatically assume it's from Apollo 11? (They forgot to include James Irwin's name too. I realize I shouldn't take LOL sites like Pundit Kitchen too seriously, but still, this is a silly inaccuracy.)

It bugs me that with the LRV on the right they could've narrowed it to 3 flights and, with no commander's stripes, only 3 people! (I would be more annoyed if I was there and was misidentified!  ) |

HB's certainly seem to concentrate on the Apollo 11 mission more than the others combined.

That's because HBs half the time don't know there were any other missions!
The misidentification even spread to Mythbusters, as they repeatedly referred to Neil Armstrong while showing video clips from other missions. Adam even described his suit, which had red commander's stripes, as being a replica of the one worn by Armstrong. And they had Phil and Jay consulting!

That picture has been my desktop background at work for about 2 years now.
