Lunar Images

With the 40th anniversary of the Apollo moon landing just days away, the NASA Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter has returned its first images of many of the Apollo lunar landing sites, including this one of the Apollo 11 lunar module.

Here's the link to the full story from NASA and more images from other Apollo missions.

Where were you when man first set foot on the moon? I was with my family at my grandmother's cabin on a small lake in Southern Wisconsin. My dad had set up all of his elaborate camera gear to snap a picture of the screen on the old 13" black and white Zenith at the exact moment when Neil Armstrong stepped off of the ladder onto the moon. It's cool to be able to see that lunar module 40 years later.
