Look, it's the Apollo 11 lunar module! And astronaut footprints left by Apollo 14!

Well, you can make them out if you squint. NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) has been honing its camera-hound skills. The lunar probe captured images from five of six Apollo sites between July 11 and 15, after first reaching lunar orbit on June 23.

#5  Whoopi doubts it. And she ought to know. I mean, why is the flag still fluttering? Everyone knows there's no air up there, right?

#4  Isn't one of the reasons the Saudis especially deny the moon landing is that Mo-ham-head predicted that Islam would "conquer the whole world" before a man walked on the moon? The entire "the moon landings were fake" scenario is to deny that Mo was wrong.

#3  Now everyone knows that the first person on the moon was a Muslim. Must have been Mohammad on one of his drug-induced excursions (see 'trip to Jerusalem' etc...).

In fact one of the 'craters' down near the lower left of the 2nd photo is, in actuality, a dome, a mosque (complete with AK47's and suicide belts) and the 3,304,302th holiest sites of Islam.
