"We all know the moon's not made out of green cheese, but if it were made out of barbecue spare ribs... would you eat it then?"
Seriously... NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter sent back some recent picture of the Apollo moon landings... pretty cool stuff.
The paths left by astronauts Alan Shepard and Edgar Mitchell on both Apollo 14 moon walks are visible in this LRO image. (At the end of the second moon walk, Shepard famously hit two golf balls.) The descent stage of the lunar module Antares is also visible.
If you want to see more of this and a video... go here...
