Too bad they can't do this for the Apollo landings.

Thanks for the link, Mitch.

It would be irrelevant; the claim would be that they were faked with
photoshop. The Moon hoaxers are more convinced than religious
fanatics that they have the truth, and no evidence to the contrary
would make any difference.

Henry S. F. Cooper, Jr. in his book "XIII: The Apollo Flight That
Failed" documented a pair of professional astronomers who were
watching the spot where the Apollo 13 flight should have been (they
could see course-correction burns, but the spacecraft was too far to
see by itself). They witnessed an "image bloom" at the moment of the
explosion. But even this isn't good enough.

Who cares about the crackpots? It would be great to see the Apollo
landing sites at this resolution. In fact, I look forward to such high
resolution images during future lunar missions.

I must admit I'm just a wee bit embarrased. I must have read
something that had me charged about the hoaxers; I completely forgot
that there are other valid uses for highly detailed images from the
moon.

Nice. I see on the north side of the crater, there are tracks of some
sort. Are those the little rover tracks? That's incredible.

Yes, those are the tracks of the rover Opportunity, which is exploring
Victoria Crater (and getting ready to descend into it). The page that
goes with the linked image is at

For the last decade or so, they can do roughly a meter per pixel of
whatever's on our moon. Isn't that good enough?

Of course a similar satellite orbiting at perhaps 50 km away from our
physically dark and nasty moon should also have be rather impressive,
especially as it eventually got below 10 km.
