40 Years Ago This Week The USA Landed on the Moon

40 years ago we landed on the moon, 50 years ago it wasn't possible. In 14 months we won't even be able to put a man in orbit. In 14 months the space shuttle will be retired, and unless the US develops a new manned spacecraft soon, we will have to hitchhike into space with Russa, China, or France. That's just sad.

NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, or LRO, has returned its first imagery of the Apollo moon landing sites. The pictures show the Apollo missions' lunar module descent stages sitting on the moon's surface, as long shadows from a low sun angle make the modules' locations evident. click here to read more and see more NASA photos

Political cartoonist Scott Stantis at www.townhall.com has similar fellings as I do about the USA being on l4 months away from not being able to put a man in space.
