If they become too draconian about all this though, I reckon it's only a matter of time before these pornographers start using the internet to disseminate their vile materials.
Yaayyyyyy! And yet boooooo. http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2009/jun/18/hole-wall-second-series-bbc1

Excited about the launch of the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter in a few hours.

Looks interesting.
Does NASA plan to return to the moon then?
What are the plans for a orbiter once the shuttle retires next years - are the boys any closer to a solution?

Yes, there are plans to return to the moon. Budget constraints and the usual date slips may find China on the moon before the U.S. returns.
Here's some of the hardware that will replace the shuttle:

So we aren't taking about single stage to orbit then?

There are interesting points about the lunar landings.
1. You have to leave orbit and then orbit around the moon.
2. You have to get your men into a moon landing craft
3. That has to descend from lunar orbit and touch down safely on surface.
4. Men then leave craft
5. Men get back in.
6. They then have to take off and re-enter orbit
7. Then they have to dock with other craft
8. Which then has to leave lunar orbit and return to earth
Now that is complex! Is it possible?
But the only argument I've heard is the photographs cast the wrong shadows.

All the conspiracy theories have been thoroughly debunked.

Oh yes I quite agree.
I'm saying out of all the things they could go for, the only thing I've heard is that photos cast the wrong shadows.
Pete Conrad (founder of my company and Apollo 12 moon walker) used to say, "If it was all a hoax they did a great job, because I thought I was walking on the moon."

Yes. I also suspect that she's a flat-Earther.
