Amazing for sure Mike ... amazing that you cant leave the odd spacecraft lying around and someone hasnt taken a picture of it !!!

I'm waiting for google to send one of their Street View cars up there and run it around for a few months.

Wonderful views there Mike. I wonder if the light shading around Luna 23 was caused by the rapid impact on landing.

Wow, they are getting good images!
Fantastic detail.

The conspiracy theorists will pull it apart and say they are faked of course

Also noticed the likeness of the LRO's Logo to our SVAA Logo!

Fantastic images.

It's amazing the amount of resolution the LRO is achieving.

Thanks Mike for the link - I do not surf the net as much at the moment so I would nave missed it otherwise!

Fascinating indeed, a lot of the LRO images are truly spectacular.

Woaw thats close , by the way the LUNA lander looks a lot like the Russian lander in the movie " Apollo 18 " ? anyone else watched it? ...
To be taken with a grain of salt..
