Get the full experience of these images in 1080p. Buzz Aldrin described the "Magnificent Desolation" of the lunar surface. Rarely do those words ring as true as in these recent images from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. Revel in the detail of these images, and the severity of the Lunar surface, then be thankful you're relaxing on a green and blue world sheltered from the hostile environment of space.

Which one? There were six manned missions that landed and dozens of unmanned ones.
My guess is that since the LRO had an average orbital altitude of 50km, it's still too far away to display details that fine. Of course, the CIA has satellites that can read a car's license plate from that distance. ;-)
