A spacecraft circling the moon has snapped the sharpest photos ever of the tracks and trash left behind by Apollo astronauts in their visits from 1969 to 1972.

More evidence to throw back at the 'moon landing deniers'. Although, I doubt if any evidence would actually change their minds.

Man, I wish I could zoom in on that picture.

I'll bet if the orginal was a high enough resolution you could really make out some great details. =D>

I've wondered if we could see the landing sights. That is pretty cool. I'm with Scorpy, I'd love to see a high resolution full size version of those pictures.

Frankly what more reason do you need to go back to the moon other than seeing if you can get the old moon rovers to start up and go for a spin!

OK, who's been up there messing around with our "trash"???!!! You would think ET would respect our personal space a bit more than that and not go rummaging around in our backpacks.......

Yeah, probably aerial photographs of Death Valley. That's the wreckage left over from National Lampoon's Vacation Family Truckster crash.

Been meaning to post this for a while.
Here the jumbo size high rez version of the above shot. The shadows really bring out the shape of Lunar Module's decent stage that was left behind.

Right-click on the image and open in a new window so you can zoom in
