Man used to think the moon was made of cheese.

Then we went to there and discovered it wasn't.

We haven't been back since.

BEHOLD THE POWER OF CHEESE!

I think the lack of oxygen would get them first.

No, they aren't. http://lroc.sese.asu.edu/EPO/LROC/lr...?pg=objectives

and all they came back with are photos as grainy and low-res as the ones the astronauts took from orbit 40+ years ago? With modern technology those photos are the best they got?

I call BS. I'd also prefer to see imagery from a 3rd party source. On the NASA website they mention photographing the lunar landing sites here: http://science.nasa.gov/science-news...05/11jul_lroc/
Yeah, did you actually read that?

Its primary mission is not to photograph old Apollo landing sites, but it will photograph them, many times, providing the first recognizable images of Apollo relics since 1972.

Apples and oranges. Hubble is different technology, different optics, different design and mainly, different objectives.

Focal length on LROC's narrow-field cameras is 700mm (about equivalent to a high-end SLR camera lens). Hubble's is 57.6m - over 82X higher "zoom". LROC primary mirror diameter is 195mm... Hubble's is 2.4m (over 12X the diameter and over 150X the surface area).

I can't find any specs on the actual dimensions of the LROC orbiter, but Hubble is a beast - the whole thing weighs over 12 TONS.

Seriously, you're comparing a VGA-resolution cell-phone camera to a 35MP medium-format SLR here.

Or more in keeping with the site: a bicycle with a little gas chainsaw motor on the back wheel, vs. a Veyron. Not really a fair comparison.

If you guys really want to watch a good documentary about this mission, go watch For All Mankind. You really get the understanding of what was going through the mind of these astronauts. This is available on Netflix BTW.
