A little off topic, though clearly demonstrating why we've needed to
further exploit the moon, and I'll certainly edit this contribution
into something other than what it seems to be suggesting.

It's interesting that the ongoing Mars imaging that's utilizing a
somewhat outdated CCD capability, yet having acquired images of a
much greater distance is capturing such terrific details at 50
cm/pixel, whereas similar efforts of our moon and of such efforts
being half the camera distance can't ever seem to manage better than
tens of meters per pixel, even though the lighting is certainly
better (even earthshine is nearly as good as any Mars day) and
there's even less atmosphere getting in the way.

Whereas MOC with an average altitude of supposedly 378 km and minimum
of 171 km is having no trouble with the likes of providing 50
cm/pixel. Perhaps the SMART-1 mission will soon obtain similar if not
even better resolutions of our moon, as to capturing the likes of
those massive lander remains and otherwise enormous tracks (100 fold
larger) as compared to anything making tracks on Mars.

Thus apparently we need to get our robotics and those remote SAR
aperture image receiving modules actually onto our moon, as our best
CCD satellite cameras can't hardly manage squat, though again that
may not be the case for the SMART-1 mission. Then perhaps we should
be deploying Javelin Probes or having those of the decade delayed
LUNAR-A mission implanted so that we're obtaining that essential 3D
look-see into the moon, an essential first step for eventually
establishing the base camps on behalf of creating the lunar space
elevator(LSE-CM/ISS).
