NASA has created a huge online treasure trove of archival photos from its Apollo missions and associated training exercises. The more than 8,400 high-resolution photos are now publicly available on Flickr.
You’ll be able to kill quite a lot of spare time browsing through the many albums from different Apollo projects. Many routine, some amazing.
You might also want to check out the Apollo Lunar Surface Journal, which follows the six pairs of astronauts who made it to the moon’s surface between 1969 and 1972.
Good stuff!

To the comment made (above) by “t”
There’s a funny faux poster circulating on the Internet that jokingly complains about the ton of resources expended in “retrieving” Matt Damon – Saving Private Ryan, Interstellar, and now The Martian.
Recommend The Martian – although even in this picture you know what’s going to happen. Getting from A to B is, however, pretty entertaining.
808, I agree. They stole all my precious tax dollars. Should have been spent on that world-changing East West Center. Seriously. Not a drop of sarcasm here. My precious tax dollars. Wah.
