How Quickly NASA Forgets

NASA Set To Launch Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter in 2008

“After a 30-year hiatus, the orbiter represents NASA’s first step towards returning humans to the moon.”

Editor’s note: “30-year hiatus”? Looks like someone at PAO forgot about NASA’s Lunar Prospector which was launched in 1998. Of course there was the non-NASA (NRL) Clementine mission launched in 1994. Both served as pathfinders for LRO.
