Lunar Orbitar Gets Snapshots Of Moon Landing Site

To all those moon landing deniers, I suspect this photo will not have much effect, but to the rest of us in the real world, it's an amazing image.

The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter has successfully taken pictures showing the Apollo 11 landing site that are spectacular. 40 years after the event the video of Neil Armstrong on the moon still give me chills. Now comes this delightful view from space of the site.

Knowing NASA plans to return to the moon gives me hope as well. Guess I am a space geek at heart.
