  In 1961, President John F. Kennedy announced an ambitious goal of sending an American safely to the Moon before the end of the decade. NASA answered the challenge in 1969 with the successful landing of the Apollo 11 Lunar Module (LM). I still wonder why we went up their, they say 2/3rds of the earth have still not been explored why are we concentrating on space. Are we looking for a good land deal who can tell. Me I would like to see more moon exploration and see who will be the first one to claim the moon as their real estate could it be the Koreans or the Japanees as they are now interested in space and the really need it

  The moon shots that researchers and the public have gazed at over the years are mainly copies--or copies of copies--that don't match the originals in clarity, color, or contrast.

  But at last, we all will get to see the originals. Arizona State University (ASU) in Tempe, the Lunar and Planetary Institute, and NASA are posting high-resolution scans of the 35,000 photos from the Apollo missions--from film that has been chilling out in a freezer in Houston, Texas, for more than 30 years.

  The digitized images will enable researchers to draft more precise topographic maps of the lunar surface, for example, and to evaluate possible landing sites for future moon missions, says geologist Mark Robinson of ASU. The archive is just gearing up but will have several hundred images by next month.
