New Apollo landing site photos
Pat Flannery scribbled something like ...
Some new LRO photos, showing landing sites, LM descent stages, and ALSEP equipment: http://www.onorbit.com/node/3780 You can even see Surveyor-3. Also visible on NASA's site. You can choose between labeled and unlabeled. http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/LRO/news/apollo-sites.html /dps |

Pat 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". |

Pat I wonder what Bar Sibrel's doing right about now.... 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. |

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". |
