That is a profoundly - jaw-droppingly - ignorant statement.

You could have simply asked for better-resolution images from NASA. The request would have been answered, and you would have been seen as a curious and open-minded individual.

Instead, you assumed that NASA hadn't released them, and on the basis of this assumption you made a rather offensive accusation. I won't say what that makes you look like.

At any rate, here is a link to 817,358 images (and counting) from the Lunar Reconnaisance Orbiter. Over half-a-million of these images have resolutions better than 1-meter per pixel. NASA makes these images (and millions more) freely available to anyone who is curious.
