That can't be true! I saw a film that said it was all fake:
Eh? What’s up with the wire stays?
I wonder why we’re mapping the moon for possible landing sites or searching for water.
Are the Chinese going there?
Our deficit spending will never allow us to leave earth orbit for the next few generations. Even earth orbit visits to the ISS will have to be made on Russian spacecraft after the shuttle is retired.
a huge Altas V rocket roared off the launch pad last week to start NASA's first missions to Earth's Moon in 10 years. The rocket is carrying two robotic spacecraft. The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) is scheduled to orbit and better map the Moon, search for buried and hidden ice, and return many high resolution images. Some images will be below one-meter in resolution and include images of historic Apollo landing sites. Exploratory data and images should allow a more informed choice of possible future astronaut landing sites. The Lunar CRater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS) is scheduled to monitor the controlled impact of the rocket's upper stage into a permanently shadowed crater near the Moon's south pole. This impact, which should occur in about three months, might be visible on Earth through small telescopes.Thanks sig226.
