NASA's new lunar probe launched less than a week ago has already sent back some shots of the moon.

The satellite swung by the moon Tuesday and took pictures for an hour, passing within 2,000 miles. Now, it's well past the moon in an elongated orbit around Earth. In October, it will slam into a crater at the moon's south pole.

A second spacecraft launched aboard the same rocket is now circling the moon. The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter is expected to provide a precise 3-D map of the moon and help pinpoint safe landing spots for astronauts.

The two spacecraft are part of NASA's effo

Do hope that perhaps some members have their telescopes available that is if they are able to get a shot in or at least a rough glimpse.

To think on earth were all arguing about everything and anything and here are the true rulers sending their probes to the moon and mars, not bothering anyone until they decide to change everyones perception of history.

Great find...

I cant wait until they get in close to view those 3-d images. Being Tax payers dollars and all we better get a damned good view. Unlike our Japanese friends over there who only gave bits and pieces. I know they released some images but not the whole shabang!@

Cool! I hope this will quickly put to rest the conspiracy theories that we've never been in space. I look forward to more footage. I'll check out the video.

SEE!!!


That's a perfect example of why people think NASA Sucks!

They need to JAZZ it up a bit with music or a sports announcer type person calling blow by blow descriptions!

I do feel some glitch is going to hit at the exact time when the next broadcast is to be live, maybe while shooting onto the surface.

Thats when your going to read some wild conspiracy posts.

Would be a change to see while on live feed some weird "space junk" crossing over and suddenly changes direction.

I guess that would be called USD "Unidentified Space Debri", oops did i just let the cat out of the bag, USD, United States Dollar. Oh well even if it's true, who's going to believe a person a conspiracy site.
