Default New Apollo landing site photos

Pat Flannery scribbled something like ...

Some new LRO photos, showing landing sites, LM descent stages, and ALSEP
equipment:

You can even see Surveyor-3.


Also visible on NASA's site. You can choose between labeled and unlabeled.

Note the black 'hole' in the top of the Descent Stage:

(zoom in). They look like they might have come close to a 'brew-up'.

Dating myself here but the press used to be filled with updates
cutaways schematics and mid-course correction status of the Orbiters
Rangers and Surveyors on their 3 day journey to the earths moon! Now a
launch and their there. Great imagery the single forays across the
surface (like to Cone Crater) are actually visible, and you can make
out the triangle shape of Surveyors landing pad geometry. Given time
you'll see color and the glint of gold mylar I'm sure........Doc

Not sure what you mean by that; the hole was always there and ascent
stage ignition was always intended to be "fire-in-the-hole".

Probably saying "They're in on the conspiracy" or other such nonsense.
The other conspiro-nuts will be doing the same. NOTHING will get them
to admit that they're wrong, because it's a religion to them.

If real photos from the surface didn't convince him, why would real
photos from orbit convince him? He's just going to claim they're faked too.

There was a thermal and micrometiorite sheild -
http://jeffreyellis.org/tlmp/files/facts/lm_descent.gif. I think it was
also intended to prevent the Ascent Stage thrust from getting into all
the tanks etc on the Descent Stage - no BOOM. Propellant was vented,
but then there was the pressurising gas and any residual oxygen in storage.

Also this: http://www.apollosaturn.com/Lmnr/descent.htm "A teflon-coated
titanium blast shield that deflects the ascent engine exhaust out of and
away from the descent engine compartment is secured to the upper side of
the compartment, below the thermal blanket".
