They are amazing. Even knowing they were there it's still something to see pictures of them.

Am I the only one feeling sort of bubbly and giddy about those photos? No!

That is outstanding work there! Would it be okay to post them in other HB forums, showing that's how things should look? Yeah, it is. Literally puts it in "perspective" doesn't it?

It's like looking back in time. Nothing has changed.

Any reactions from the HBs?

I'm not sure I'd describe it as bubbly and giddy, but I know what you mean! ;D

If they do a good number of passes it should be possible to average them and squeeze a little more resolution out of them.

And if there are multiple passesd at different times of the lunar day, then a lot more opportunities to get the very best lighting conditions. I'm very much looking forward to seeing these.

Any reactions from the HBs? "These pics are obviously doctored to look like something is on the surface. The LRO, at 50km, is in low polar orbit, with a high-res camera setup, capable of clearly imaging a VW or a license plate, yet for some reason these pics are not in better resolution. Let me be the first to say: it's all a conspiracy and HOAX, folks. Get used to it " www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mYY8fXiojAwhitejarrah has a movie up www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5kHPexBIWk&feature=channel_page"Much like Clementine and SELENE before it, the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) has failed to live up to all the hype about seeing the Apollo relics. In this video we look at these oh so hyped over photos and point out just how unobservant the propagandists have been with them."

You obviously didn't read my post seemoe (kindly look at the second page). But then don't tell me that:
a) you don't believe in well-written accurate computer simulations of space flight, because "they're not really accurate" or "these simulations were made by the government"
b) "rodionh is part of the conspiracy, he got paid to post that comparison between simulated DS shadows and the actual DS shadows"

Nice work on the orbiter sim comparison. Your graphics card must be a lot better than mine; my descent stage looks like it's floating on gray clay.
These photos generate the same feelings as I have when I see photos of the Apollo 12 astronauts standing next to Surveyor. There is just something unspeakably cool about going back to revisit our hardware.
