It's really boggling to my mind that Countries like Russia, China, and Japan haven't set foot on the moon. It should be dirt cheap to land on the moon now.
On of my favorite movies is In the Shadow of the Moon, <a class="user" href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0925248/" rel="nofollow">http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0925248/</a>The entire movie is narrated by the Apollo Astronauts themselves. Only a few times text is used on screen. It's really quite amazing to hear it in their own words.In any case, my point is that at the end of the movie one of the astronauts (Alan Bean?) responded to the question with this answer:"Why would we fake it NINE times?"It's really quite funny./story
It feels good to remember that even if the US isn't going back, other countries are still interested. Who knows, maybe India or China will lead us to the stars.
On March, 1st, 2009, at 08:13:10 UTC, Chang'e 1 crashed onto the surface of the Moon, ending its mission. According to the State Administration of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense (China), this was a planned and controlled impact.[12] Impact point was just south of the lunar equator, at 52.36 degrees East Longitude[13]. During its orbital mission the probe transmitted 1,400 gigabits or 175 gigabytes(GB) of data.

I wouldnt describe those early 'Luna' or 'Lunar Orbiter' missions as 'landings'... more like controlled crashes.

Aren't you the articulate one. Not. I'm not smarter than everyone else; just you.
