all the pictures of the moon are just blurry smudged pictures with an arrow pointing to a blurry rock with the caption "apollo lander"
This is a combination of raw video and individual images processed from video. An 11" amateur telescope was used along with a B&W CCD video camera. The video feed was captured on a Sony miniDV Camcorder. Because video has a lot a "noise", image processing is typically done by stacking multiple frames on top of each other

What's obvious is one of two things you are either a liar or you just don't know were to look!

or maybe I have bad eyesight because i don`t see anything in those super duper state of the art up to date high definition moon photos, but i can clearly see the rover tracks in the new mars photos.
maybe they can take that mars orbiter and it`s camera and zip on over to the moon and snap a few pictures for me?

Too bad NASA can't do as good a job, just for show cause we want to know.
Bravo to that youtube video.
NASA using far better Astronomical equipment from all the worlds observatories must have
gotten expert advice on where to make the landings down to the gravel size.

This image was acquired for color coverage of the region that the Curiosity rover may explore, but we acquired some extra RED (monochromatic) coverage of the rover tracks.

Amazing detail! You can see the current whereabouts of the rover, so this can serve as a map to plot Curiosity's current and future activities in the Yellowknife bay. I have also found the parachute and other stuff left over from the landing.
You can try viewing the large jpg image but I suggest downloading HiView to view the humongous JPG2 files where you can zoom in closer and see stuff more clearly. www.uahirise.org...
