LRO = Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, which we're heavily involved in here at SwRI. They dropped it into a lower orbit to get higher resolution images of the surface of the Moon. This is pretty cool:

"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self- preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property, and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."
--Thomas Jefferson

That's really cool. Those landing sites are going to be time capsules until the day we get our MOON BASE.
We need to get back to the moon.

Wonder what those conspiracy theorists will say to refute those pictures?

Be polite. Be professional. But be prepared to kill everyone you meet.
"Motorcycles tell us a more useful truth: we are small and exposed, and probably moving too fast for our own good, but that's no reason not to enjoy every minute of the ride."

Yep.... I dont think we should lose NASA tho. Its a huge part of this country.
If they think a launch and landing that was watched by millions was faked, why wouldn't they think a few pics weren't photoshops?
Big Government = Bad, so NASA go bye-bye...left to private companies and corporate moon bases...
