This could well include the fabled SIV stages and their smashed

On the LRO camera-sweep agenda are trips down memory lane too, said
Mark Robinson of Northwestern University's Center for Planetary
Sciences in Evanston, Illinois. He is Principal Investigator for the
Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC).

Take note. For you "Apollo landings were a hoax" believers LROC's
sightseeing abilities should set the record straight.

LROC is to image U.S. and Soviet landing sites on the Moon. That
includes NASA's Ranger and Surveyor lunar probes, as well as the touch
down spots of Apollo expeditionary crews and the impact sites of spent
Saturn rocket stages that hurled astronauts moonward. Also on the LROC
see list are the Soviet Union's Lunakhod automated rovers, Robinson
told SPACE.com.

"We will image the Apollo sites and you will see the descent stages
sitting on the surface," Robinson said. LROC will clearly see the
overall shape of that landing hardware, but won't be able to resolve
such things as the insignia on the side of the descent stage, or see
the stripes on astronaut-planted flags, he said.

Additionally, Robinson noted, given a setting Sun in the lunar sky,
LROC should spot the long shadow of descent stages cast across the
Moon's crater-pocked terrain.

Where's Venus hiding within Apollo missions 11, 14 and 16?

Why are all the public simulators forbidden to include Venus as
otherwise easily seen from our physically dark moon?


Brad you're as bad as those cheezy Sci-Fi films that made all objects
in space seem close to one another, so as to make space travel appear
like terrestial travel. The moon, even if it were in between the earth
and Venus and the earth were at inferior conjunction with the Venus;
the moon would still 99 times as far away from Venus as it is Earth.

Do you actually believe that the numbers of 260,000 miles as an
approximate lunar distance and the inferior conjunction distance of
Earth and Venus as 26,000,000 miles is some sort of CIA/MI5 ruse?
These numbers are approximate for calculation purposes, but they
clearly are accurate with a few percentage points and make the 1/100
ratio of moon distance/Venus distance to the earth accurate.

Why would astronauts see Venus any better from the moon as we do other
than the atmospere?
