Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
The Smithsonian article goes on to say, “It’s a sight we haven’t seen in 37 years—and additional evidence (as if thinking people really need it) that, yes, astronauts really did land on the moon in the 1960s and 1970s.”
No doubt, as more and more nations join in space activities to the Moon, additional proof will be discovered that NASA did actually go to the Moon, land and explore its surface, and returned safely to Earth—for any skeptical people still out there on Earth, or elsewhere.
In fact, the Smithsonian article concludes by saying, “And better photos are on the way. India’s Chandrayaan spacecraft is scheduled to reach the moon this fall, with a camera twice as sharp as Kaguya’s. And NASA’s own Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter will launch in November, with a camera onboard that can resolve details as small as one and a half feet, the size of a microwave oven. That should be good enough to make out the landers, and even the rovers left behind by the last three Apollo expeditions.”
Smithsonian continues, “Some people, of course, will never believe. You could sit them at a table across from Neil Armstrong and a pile of moonrocks, and they’d still never accept that almost 40 years ago, people walked on another world.”
It concludes, “Never mind them. The rest of us are about to see cool pictures of places we haven’t visited in a generation.”
Leif Jönne, of Halmstad, Sweden, left a comment on the Smithsonian site. He said, “You are right! Never mind them. Minds are like parachutes - only function when open !”
The JAXA press release, as stated earlier, goes into detail on the images produced from its spacecraft as circled above the Apollo 15 moon site, along with the images taken during the Apollo 15 mission to verify the location of the Apollo 15 landing.
