I'm struck by the great historical fortune of the people in these images. Barring an interstellar collision, they will outlast any earthly monument we could create to honor a person. Long after the Earth has been consumed by the sun, Jane Goodall's face will still be out there, cruising between the stars, hanging out with her apes. I'm also amused at the idea that NASA was concerned about photographs depicting nude humans. Even on a document intended to be launched into the depths of space, the bureaucrats were concerned about perceived indecency.
