NASA LRO Lunar Image: A Detailed Look at the Walls of Crater Aristarchus

This reminds me, I have long wondered why NASA doesn’t put together rover missions for the moon. The Soviets did it over 40 years ago, so I don’t see why we could not do it today, and fairly inexpensively. There is a lot to see on the moon, as exemplified by this particular picture.

Mars = romance, the Moon = commerce. There are actually those who think that we have learned all that we can from the Moon, that it is a dead world without any surprises.
Many surprises await.
