I first heard about NASA's plans to build LRO long before they cut any metal for it, and my first thought was, "I hope they take pictures of the Apollo landing sites."

I had to wait a few years, but man oh man, was it worth it! This picture shows the Apollo 11 lander, some of the equipment left behind by the astronauts, and you can even see their bootprints in the lunar dust!

And that red arrow? That points to the Lunar Modules's landing leg equipped with a ladder... and it's the one Neil Armstrong descended to become the first human in all of history to set foot on another world.

I still get chills thinking about. Amazing. I can't wait until we go back.
