Motorola Aura “Celestial Edition” celebrates 40th anniversary of the moon landing

None of you are going to buy this phone and I’m only writing about it to hit my post quota for the month so I can get a paycheck that will help feed my alcoholic tendencies and hedonistic weekends. With that nugget of knowledge out of the way, let it soak in for a moment what I just stated in the title: 40th anniversary of the moon landing.
America put a man on the moon, 40 years ago, and what do we have to show for it today? Why are we not setting our sites for Mars? Why are we not going to the moon on a routine basis? Why has America been the only nation to walk on the moon? Do these questions make you madder than hell?
Check out this article in Popular Mechanics by Buzz Aldrin about his proposed plan for today’s space program at NASA.
Oh and the phone: no idea on price, but it will be over £1200 and come with some videos, pictures and ringtones relating to the moon landing. Do something crazy on July 20th, I’m going to try and find a space suit from a costume shop.

Thanks for the newsclip. Seriously, I do not know what Motorola is thinking these days. They have probably sold two of the original Auras. Now this? Not even Buzz or Neil would fork over $$ for this.
