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?

This is a fan edited compilation. The original raw source docs are public domain, but this is a 3rd party website.

Better spam filters. Easier to block all the crazy people. Easier to hand over basic filtering to unpaid interns who dont yet have government logins/email accounts.

They may all be unpaid for this; copyright belongs to one man rather than being a work of the US government. It looks like a project from their spare time and retirement.

Wow, I haven't seen a mapped GIF menu in many years. https://www.nasa.gov/history/alsj/main.html

Imagemaps FTW. Well spotted!

I discovered this site about 20 years ago, and it appears to be as good as ever. The volume of detailed documentation here is all you need to dispel fantasies about a moon landing hoax.
