[quote:kaibosh:MV8zOTc0NTc0XzcxOTA0MTc2XzVCREEwMDQ5] The only regolith recovered from the Moon's surface was done by a Russian probe. The United States paid the equivalent of Trillions of dollars through trade deals to get their hands on several small samples of it. All of the 'Moon rocks' were plucked off the ice in Antarctica, Von Braun's team made two major expeditions there in the late 60's to gather them. It is fucking laughable that people believe the American government would have taken the chance of a failed Apollo 11 mission. There was simply too much at stake. It is especially amusing to hear the crowd who screech about the hundreds of thousands of people who worked on the project. Yup, that's why there were 25,000 ICBM missiles in underground bunkers that could lift off in under a minute, capable of carrying 14 separate warheads. The biggest joke of all is that everyone is just so damned disinterested in the Moon after all these decades. Never mind the incalculable wealth of research that could be done on the surface, in Lunar orbit. Never mind that wide scale robotic mining and smelting of exotic alloys could be happening on the surface, in orbital tethered space stations, etc, etc, etc. Why hasn't NASA sent ONE SINGLE FUCKING PROBE to land on the Moon in nearly 50 years?! Why haven't they put ONE SINGLE FUCKING SATELLITE in Lunar orbit, with a sweet high def camera?! You can achieve a stable orbit just 7km off the surface. The gravity well of the Moon is many orders of magnitude cheaper to escape than Earth. It is a JOKE to think that Musk, or anyone else, is going to "land on Mars". Pro tip, people: Psssst, you can't land anything on Mars that weighs more than 750kg. Why do you think the last successful wandering probe that such a ridiculous multi-stage theatrical descent program? There isn't enough air to use ablative shielding or a chute to slow down - PERIOD. (The entire atmosphere of Mars would fit perfectly to the brim of an NFL stadium at Earth sea level pressure). There is too much friction from what little atmosphere there is to land 'Lunar Lander' style, like how probes land on the Moon. In order to 'land' on Mars you have to get from Mach 5 to under Mach 1 in less than 90 seconds, and NO TECHNOLOGY EXISTS TO DO THAT. You know the Soyuz they 'were' using to bring Astronauts up to the ISS? It hasn't changed one single rivet since it brought a couple of Tortoises and some tapeworms around the Moon and back in the late 60's. NOT ONE RIVET. The thrust:lb ratio of fuel has not changed one iota in 60+ years. Neil DeIdiot Tyson should be put up against a wall and shot for going on all the talkshows and even discussing 'asteroid mining' with a straight face. People need to wake up, learn a smattering of the math and physics involved, and realize that we fucked up, we lost our chance, our planet is fucked and doomed, and even the elite know that they are only pampering themselves to a slightly longer survival in the DUMB's. They tried desperately to move their consciousness to a computer, when that didn't work they tried opening portals to Hell to ask for help from them, and now they just shrug and want to ride out the last couple of years with some fine Brandy in an underground bunker while the face of the Earth is sterilized by a dozen different ELE events at the same time. Keep shoveling more taxpayer dollars at Musk, though. [/quote]

meanswhile they provide great source images that can be restored.
So if you pick one that looks interesting and you want to see in even more detail then link to it here and i will process it.
meanwhile heres one i just made [
