Searched, but couldn't find an existing thread:

I come from a line of aeronautics buffs, and have/will be following this a bit.

Anyone else?

I love how this was reported on the news "It's been 40 years since a human has walked on the moon."

No- 40 years since a human first walked on the moon.

Yeah, but to the public, this is the only one that mattered, right? I'd wager that a significant number of people would have no idea that there were other missions to the moon after 11.

We went as high as Apollo 17 before we stopped going to the moon.

We went to the moon?

I was asking this the other day are there or have there been any satellites that could take high res images of the moon that could take a photo of the flag?

Next 5 years yes.

Simply a fantastic educational site!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Make sure that you tape it! Because NASA actually erased all their tapes of the original moon landing!!!

They erased all their tapes to save money. Seriously. The first landing on the moon. And they erased it.

I love the little trivia bits at the bottom of the site ... seems very well done. They land in a little more than 3 days.
