         | Better spam filters. Easier to block all the crazy people.
         | Easier to hand over basic filtering to unpaid interns who dont

               | This is a collaboration and international labor of love,
               | with people hailing from Australia, England, and Canada.
               | Go visit nasa.gov at top-level and see how the design
               | changes, and the NASA logos are used.

               | These pages carry the Apollo insignias, and "last

         | If this is a government document, how is it not public domain?
         | If it's not a government document, why is it hosted on a .gov?
