Default LRO images Apollo landing sites

I suspect they are showing up better at the 14 site because they are
also accompanied by the handcart tracks.


But what about rover tracks on 15, 16, and 17?


LRO has not yet reached its science orbit. *It's still in an elliptical
orbit where even its perilune is still higher than it will eventually be.
The A14 photo was a lucky happenstance because it was taken during the
lowest portion of that particular orbit. *A15, 16, and 17 were not so lucky;
when LRO reached their sites, it was higher up in its orbit.

Be patient: *when LRO reaches its circular orbit of about 30 miles, the
reshoots of the A14 site will twice as good and the other sites will be
three times better.


Exactly, as I've already said the same, realizing there's twice as
good yet to come, not to mention color saturations and everything
recorded with terrific dynamic range, just as the USAF or Russia could
have accomplished as of 3 decades ago, and at not a third the cost.

My interpretation thus far of the new Apollo evidence isn't entirely
solidified, but it's looking as though at least portions of our
equipment got onto the lunar surface (them crazy Russians supposedly
accomplished it via robotics, and supposedly we were always so much
smarter and thus just as capable if not more so). The next round of
slightly better images and the full gauntlet of colors and secondary/
recoil fluorescence should do the trick. Our moon is also not
entirely UV inert nor that of any monochromatic light gray, as
depicted in most of those Apollo color images, and the planet Venus
wasn't actually being hidden by those sneaky Muslims.

Apollo equipment on the moon I've never suggested was impossible, or
even unlikely.

Let us have a look-see at each of those 14.7 tonne upper/3rd stage
impact craters?
