Been a long time since I was a Miss. Can't say I miss it.
Just trying to shed a little light on why the picture was changed. ⇒ Changed priorities.
Us scientists sometimes stub our toes (or worse) when we don't recognize that the paradigm of science and truth and accuracy isn't the driving force in a given human interaction / situation that we're dealing with. Sometimes some of us get our face rubbed in it so often and hard, we can sound a tad bitter about it, n'est-ce pas?
Ten years ago, the same picture switch wouldn't have had nearly so much political baggage to carry. Also, if done 10 years ago it probably would have had more accurate illumination and terminator lines.
BTW, if I didn't want my country to get fixed, I wouldn't be complaining, and exercising my Constitutional right to free speech, now, would I? I'd simply be walking away to another nation, and letting this one go to Hades in a handbasket without me.
