An interesting thought, spacecraft go to the moon, and what's one of the first things we want from them? Pictures of Earth.

I don't know of an object in space that is boring.
Plus, there is some kind of dust circulation over there. The mechanism of this process should be studied. |

Who talked about Earth?!? Just saying that on the Moon there's nothing interesting to see, if you're not a person directly involved in the project. Sand, sand, sand, hill, crater, sand, crater, hill.....  |

The ISRO seem to be very slow in releasing images from Chandryaan 1 - can we see some more recent images please?!
The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter should be able to image the Apollo landing sites with such detail to make out the Lander stage of the LMs and the rovers on the ground that the astronauts drove. Hopefully, that will help to silence the " we never really went to the Moon" brigade.

Sand, sand, sand, hill, crater, sand, crater, hill..... Well, some people find hills, craters, sand and rocks (you forgot the rocks  ) interesting, that is why I have been following (as best as I can) all the releases from the current missions on Mars and the Moon.

But that would be disastrous for Titan! Please don't bring it this close to the sun. I'd settle for Io though, if someone would like to arrange the swap.
