I know it may be too early for such a thread, but an announcement has to be made.
The official website of the LROC camera is: http://lroc.sese.asu.edu/ A brief description plus status is available here: http://www.msss.com/lro/lroc/index.html |

Actually we know how close the Apollo 14 crew got to Cone Crater's rim, because we can compare the boulders seen in their surface images at Station C1 with the Lunar Orbiter images of the same boulders. They didn't know at the time, but we know it now. They were about 40 m from the rim but couldn't see over it into the depression. It will still be great to see these places at unprecedented resolution, but it won't change our ideas about the location of C1.
