Default Wonder what the LM lower stages condition is ??

The recent photos of the landing sites seem to show no damage at least at the resolution that they are in (other than flags falling over).

Side issue he
Could the craters from the various impacts be resolved by current orbiters and distinguished from natural craters? I assume that craters from the ascent stages from Apollo 12, 14, 15, and 17 could be determined by the general area that they are located, but could we say that THIS recent crater was caused by Apollo 11 rather than A16? What about the S4B stages? I would assume that their craters would be much larger, so more easier seen. What about the 1972 (natural?) impact event?


too bad 11s upper LM couldnt of been put in heliospheric.

Imagine in this display is the manned portion of apollo 11 LM the
first manned vehicle to land on the moon, the lower stage is still at
the landing site although theres evidence that despite it being
declared a national monument people have been stealing and selling
parts of the lower stage and debris left behind.....

over here we have mars one the first manned expedition to mars... the
ascent stage along with some artifacts.

Over here is snoopy, and viking one retrieved from the mars
surface.....
