"The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) is scheduled to orbit and

Some images will be below one meter in resolution and include images
of historic Apollo landing sites."

Should we start holding our breath?

You folks do realize that this deployment of merely .528% payload
(including the spent upper stage) took 4.5 days getting into lunar
orbit. Does this not ring any bells, as to what it took for getting
all of an Apollo mission into lunar orbit within nearly a day shorter?

Hi
It means they spent more fuel on humans that have limited time in
space
compared to an unmanned probe that can take its time and use less
fuel.
There is nothing here, just economics .

Never resort to a simple, logical explanation when an involved conspiracy
can be substituted.

Never put your brown nose in another butt-crack, because you never
know what else has been in that butt-crack.

But LOR used 4 times as much fuel/kg, and it still took more than a
day longer to get there.

I didn't know they went to the Moon in Lord of the Rings... ?

Was that in the director's cut?
