Reread it but still can’t find the bit where ‘it went political’. ??

I couldn't either, but on a second reading it occurs to me that describing Joe Biden as "President Elect" might be considered political by some and not by others.  If that's the case perhaps for the sake of harmony and in observation of the CoC we'd best just skip over that bit and stick to the photos.

There are a few I'd love to own.  The Yuri Gagarin one, and the Ed White spacewalk ones.  And the Earthrise photos too, especially the sequences.  And on the Moon itself the classic "footprint" and the Buzz Aldrin on with the reflection of Neil Armstrong in his visor.

All likely to end up way, way, way beyond my pocket though.
