The launch was originally scheduled for August 16, 2007 (Japan Standard Time, JST.) The new launch date will be announced as soon as it is determined.

Those people need to believe there is a conspiracy to hide things and their life is not fulfilled unless they doubt the truth.

And I'll join in with the rest of the group and agree that any pics returned by the LRO will do essentially nothing to make the Moon Landing Conspiracy believers see reason.

LOL, sounds like you're the one with the problem. Questioning anything makes you frustrated and, apparently, irritated enough that you have to lump all those with Moon landing questions into one pile to decrease your anxiety.
You seem to be unable to discern that the majority of those with ML questions have done a lot of reading and research and, in fact, have, themselves, debunked some of the theories, such as the Stone Mountain mix up, the Bart Sibrel Earth porthole experiment and the flag waving question.
I hope you get some relief from your symptoms and can start to apply reason and observation again, however, I can see it's very important for you to believe everything that the government tells you.
Good luck, and try not to question things too much; maybe you'll feel better that way.

The LRO homepage Kano was goodly enough to provide in his original post notes that the LRO Camera will be able to resolve images of approximately 1 meter. The Apollo LM descent stages remaining on the moon will be large enough to be resolved with some degree of clarity.

OH HELL dont tell them that! It will send the old ladies into panic and give them all an attack of the vapours.
I can see them all U2Uing each other asking how they are going to explain the landing sites away.

I fail to see how launching an ad hominem attack, calling people 'old ladies', and 'sad' advances any investigation.
It's important in any topic on ATS to avoid 'name calling' and to try to stick to the topic and post useful information, pro or con.

I don't think any amount of proof will dissuade certain people from believing that the moon landing was faked.
They need to believe no matter what so they feel special and different. So they can believe they know something important that the rest are not privy to.
I believe in facts as everyone should.
There is ZERO evidence that the moonlanding was faked but people still believe it was. Partially because they don't understand science and partially because an authority figure of some sort with the same lack of understanding, has ingrained this misinformation into them.
It's sad really that for some it's more important to believe in a conspiracy then KNOW the facts.

Clementine had the most successful image as it was using filters to allow it to identify recently* disturbed areas on the lunar surface. The resolution is still far less than needed to see the landers direct, but it did spot the disturbed area around the Apollo 15 landing site.
