This is way cool stuff!

NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, LRO, has captured the sharpest images ever taken from space of where three Apollo missions were conducted on the moon's surface. The pictures of the Apollo 17, Apollo 14, and Apollo 12 landing sites were taken while LRO was in what's referred to as a "dipping orbit," where the spacecraft was roughly 15 miles above the surface. They reveal the twists and turns of the paths made when the missions' six astronauts explored these areas.

This is cool stuff Rico.  I have always wondered about the what has happen to the gear left over from the moon missions.  I think these photos defiantly  show that despite what some of the conspiracy theorists say we never went to the moon. 
I am going with the best information that I have.
