New LRO photo of Apollo 14 site here.. lroc.sese.asu.edu/I can't find any LRO photos of the Apollo 12 site with the Surveyor craft. Anybody got a link?

The Apollo 12 site hasn't been imaged yet.
Love that image though. Trails in the dust....

Thanks but is there any reason for this? I guess it may be something to do with the LRO orbit path or something but I can't wait to see it. Hopefully the Surveyor vehicle will be imaged also.
btw - Was 12 planned to land so close to it? If so it must have been a textbook landing.

LRO just hasn't happened to pass over the Apollo 12 site with favourable imaging conditions yet. It will.
And yes, the plan was to land right next to Surveyor 3. They'd done landing, now they were trying pinpoint landing.

Is this in the right forum? Maybe not. Feel free to move. I think it should be here though- it is evidence that works against the HB viewpoint.

Server is very, very slow for trying to view the web page and full res photo. Looks like a DDOS attack?

very, very, VERY slow for me.
It jumps from 12-14Kb/sec to 100b/sec to zero download.

Am I seeing other trails leading away from the descent stage? To the right and curving up terminating at a crater and another shorter one curving down? The answer being duh, yes. Must remember to always read the article as well as gawk at the pretty pictures.
