Pete,

Russia 'did' make it to the moon.

Luna 2 (unmanned) became the first human made object to reach the moon on the 13th of September 1959. Almost 10 years before Apollo 11....

Little bit of trivia for today...

Sure, and Khrushchev had both shoes on when he was pounding a spare shoe on the podium, and Russia had just a couple of ICBMs they kept circling around the block in a war parade, to make their puny arsenal look bigger. I don't even think America made a moon landing, and I'm pretty sure the Mars Rover was taking pics from Palmdale, California.

Pete :D

Just to satisfy my curiosity, I ran a simplified version of the bplus method looking at the "vector averages" as well.  No surprises that the scalar averages tend to figures such as above, while the "vector averages" tend to zero.
