is that really the best pics NASA can take of the site??
with the LRO yes. The cameras in orbit around mars & in orbit around earth are more powerfull.
The mission goals for the image camera were to be able to identify rocks bigger than 2 feet in diameter at potential landing sites. This camera acheives that goal beautifully. The mission goal was not to take the highest resolution images of the apollo sites to satisfy moon hoax conspiracy nut jobs.
The images of the apollo sites are just a by-product of the mission. But its always interesting to see them.

In 1997 NASA said there was an atmosphere on the moon with an air comparable to 13,oooft here on earth. A few have climbed Everest without O2 assistance.
If you care to and can find on pdf (or pay $300). Look for the book "Penetration" by Ingo Swann... he tells of quite a tale that is presented as believe it or not....give it a read..then tell me what you think...then tell me if you change your mind about the moon....what I want to know is What is it that changed their minds about occupying it. Water you say was a problem.....hummmmm how does water get into the tank of an air compressor....water can be created out of thin air ...as that say....what did those guys see that made them stop

C'mon Mikey.....water can't be created out of thin air. And please post a link to where NASA stated in '97 that the atmosphere of the moon was equivalent to 13,000 feet. That would be entertaining, but I have a feeling it doesnt exist.
We need to start separating the sensationalist cases from the plausible cases in this great big topic we call "UFOs". Otherwise, we're never going to get anywhere.edit on 7-9-2011 by dtrock78 because: (no reason given)

I think you'll find we can and have passed through the Van Allen Belt. This guy explains it very well and lists his references at the bottom of the paper. Read, learn and accept the truth.
www.wwheaton.com...
And the wikipedia entry on the Van Allen Radiation Belt
en.wikipedia.org...
To the O.P great find. As we can all see, it still doesn't satisfy everyone.
(And could someone tell me how to star and flag please.)

LROC releases much more than just cool images, we also release technical and scientific data collected by LROC.

no they have one camera that takes all pictures... its clear you don't know much.
What makes you think NASA wrote that wiki entry? download the science papers on LRO and show me an entry where it states one of their mission goals is to discredit moon hoaxers by imaging the apollo sites. You wont find it because its not & never has been one of the missions goals.
here i even found the paper for you lunar.gsfc.nasa.gov... . If your lazy which i suspect you are ill even post the stated goals of the imaging equipment.

Your recollection of my quote "It has to be possible to go to the moon because we....all saw it on TV." is terrible. Pay attention people! If you are mocking "However, in the middle of the space race, you have to prove you were there, right?" is an entirely different statement. Please work on your reading comprehension before attempting to post a somewhat intelligible response. All i was saying, is that i believe we went, and provided a few extra details in response to conspiracy theorists. However, you completely misinterpreted that.

the reference [4] on the wiki page is a reference to nasa talking about what the LROC will be capable of seeing. Its not a reference to nasa saying they expect the mission to "further discredit Apollo conspiracy theories" The link doesn't even say anything about that!
In 2008 NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter will carry a powerful modern camera into low orbit over the Moon's surface. Its primary mission is not to photograph old Apollo landing sites, but it will photograph them...
