I know security can keep things secure for a very long time. I am aware, however, that a new cycle of moon exploration is beginning, it will be everybody but NASA, and there will be a lot of data distributed freely over the internet at the new JPL site. This is the website for anyone who wishes to make note for their browser on favorites:

Yes, this has been fascinating to me. I suspect that the powers that be are once again in a great position to go either way. They can rationalize things supportively of such disclosures or defensively with parochial hostility or combinations of both depending on the needs of the moment.
I suspect on the whole, that it's been decided that now is about the right time to start pulling the curtains back from a lot of "stage sets" and/or a lot of "reality" mixed with stage sets and/or a lot of heretofore not widely known "reality."
But it's interesting to have the industrial part of the military industrial complex in the upcoming driver's seat on such explorations and publicity. We should certainly stay tuned.
