I dont know if you hate the Soviets, or July was just not the time for soviet rockets. Because the thing you said about the Luna 15 is pretty negative to Ruskiland.

What does everyone think I should do when we finally reach next year's Apollo 11 anniversary (when I started this thread)? Should I do the whole thing over or start something new?

No, as far as I know. I started this off as a post about the Apollo 11 mission, but I took it one step further for a year long project. I'm wondering if when I finally get to July 20, 2017, if I should keep doing this or not.
