If you still have difficulty, maybe you can ask someone to assist you. The reason they have that filter on is to avoid the abuse of the site by computer spammers.

In fact, it's *very* hard to tell what those images are. As it is, I have poor eyesight, and things often blur. And why the "necessity" of "matching the image," anyway? This is *not* fair!

Although it creates a bit of existential angst knowing that my name will be floating around long after I've expired! Cool article...

Might be a good way of raising extra cash for funding future missions that are bit beyond current budget levels.

But in all seriousness, I hope everyone takes advantage of BOTH the Kepler Mission and LRO to send their names along for the ride. It's a fun way to feel like a part of the missions!
