It angers me that CNN has still not put these images up and still have the Moon Hoax garbage story up there. This is why I refuse to watch the main networks for space coverage. I stopped watching Fox after they aired that Moon Hoax special, and now CNN drops to the same level of mediocrity...
WRT the "6 percent" figure, look at that and then look at the state of the general population. The population that idolizes the wrong people for the wrong reasons, the population that rewards stupidity and apathy while punishing intelligence and curiosity, the population whose alpha and omega are "what's in it for me?" The population that feeds its narcissism on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube. It explains itself./rant
I bet that more than 6% of the population believes in angels. Anybody seen an angel around lately?

Not even in their Tech section!I am very frustrated. A news like this I would expect to be a world front page news. But it seems nobody cares - nor CNN, nor Yahoo, nor FOX

I think I may be confused by the direction of the shadows produced by the LM descent stages. When the landings happened, the sun was behind the LM and the front was in shadow. The sun appears to be in an opposite angle in the LRO images with the rear of the LM in shadow. Have I got that right? I'm LOVING these images, BTW!
I'm pleased to say the BBC news report on this doesn't contain a single mention of conspiracy theorists.http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/8157368.stm
NASA may soon prove once and for all the moon landing was real - its Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter is now circling the moon with powerful cameras, snapping high-resolution photos that could show the Apollo 11's Eagle lander still perched on the lunar surface.

What kind of camera did we send on LRO? At least as good as the MRO camera?
