There isn’t a dark side of the moon, just 47% of so we don’t see from earth.

I wonder if you will be able to see the dark-side of the moon without a flashlight

Anybody else notice that the Apollo 17 landing site is in the wrong place? The cirrect site is the red dot at http://homepage.mac.com/stevepur/apollo17.jpg. When I put in the correct coordinates 20.19 N, 30.77 E, the image is centered on the right place. Maybe they got confused by the similar craters to the NNE of the two sites. I sent Google a note on the 20th but no action so far.

I believe one of the future missions is to launch a satalitte similiar to the one orbiting Mars to capture possible landing sites for the upcomming Moon missions. They will have a high resolution camera aboard. Nasa said something about being able to see signs of a landing, but probably won’t be able to see rovers and such.

bill, you’re saying that the evidence against lunar landings are stronger than the evidence for them? Last time I checked, all evidence from the conspiracy theory camp was pretty thin compared to what NASA has produced. However, lots of people believe in God too, so I guess evidence isn’t that important to everyone.

poster Infinity jests, but he is correct. We have never had a manned trip to the moon. The shuttle is as high as it goes. In regards to Clementine, guess NASA just “forgot” to put a hi-res cam on. The technology was available. A little like “forgetting” the biological instruments on the rover.

I initially thought that this was only a very small part of the moon, but it turns out I was wrong.

Compare the locations of the landing sites shown here: http://www.lpi.usra.edu/publications/slidesets/apollolanding/ApolloLanding/slide_01.html

You can find all the craters in the right spots, so I think it must show the whole surface (except polar areas)

neat, but why can’t we search directions?

I don’t know if anybody else has stumbled onto this yet, but apparently Google has some very big plans for the Moon in the works:
