Lunar orbiter photographs Apollo landing sites

Forty years after the Apollo 11 voyage to the moon, NASA released photographs from the new Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter spacecraft Friday showing five of the six Apollo landing sites. Shadows cast by the Apollo descent stages are clearly visible and in some cases, the moon walkers' paths can be seen in the disturbed dust

Well, there you have it. they have taken pictures of five of the six landing sites. Whats everyones take on the validity of this?

WHAT?!?!?!? You mean we actually went to the moon??? OMG!!!! [/sarcasm]

Pretty cool pics. I never doubted that we went. I used to watch the command modules circle the moon during the landings through my uncle's telescope.

That's rubbish. It's just a load of grey with some indistinguishable blobs on. Why does the picture look so bad? Astronauts's footprints? I can't see anything on those pictures. I suppose i'll just have to take NASA for their word.

I agree that the pictures should be FAR better lol. For some reason every time we photograph the moon we seem to be forever stuck in 1969.

I can not see any footprints either and as far as the LM, could be an alien moon base for all I can tell

Here is a slideshow with landing information put out by the Discovery network.

It's funny you say that because when a UFO video is gray with some indistinguishable blobs everyone wets themselves.
