Moon shots from a the Chinese landing on the moon. Not only did they post more images than NASA but they got a vehicle to drive and work on the moon without alot of hoopla and I doubt money. There is plenty of pics if you go to the link for the panorama.

    That rover was on sale at Harbor Freight last week. Very cool, but we still did it first, years ago!

I know I am going to get a lot of slack on here from some in the field, but never understood most of the space program and why it is needed in the first place.  If billions were not spent on space travel,  maybe we could feed the hungry and poverty on this planet?  Probably not though, since our govt. would spend it foolishly on something else am sure.
