Topic: Lunar Satellite Reveals Apollo 16 Remains

[sam]

NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) made a low pass over the Apollo 16 site last fall, capturing images of the leftovers from John Young and Charlie Duke’s 1972 exploration of the Descartes Highlands. The video above takes us on a tour of the Apollo 16 site from lunar orbit, and includes audio from the original communications and some very nice comparative photos and video clips showing the same features from ground level.

Naturally it's just a cardboard cut-out.     I actually met Charles Duke in the early eighties when he was touring the UK.
