NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter has taken the clearest images yet of the various Apollo landing sites.  Memo to the nay-sayers: the landings really did happen - here's photographic proof.

The first glimpse of our planet Earth from outer space happened 45 years ago when the U.S. Lunar Orbiter 1 took a picture of Earth on August 23, 1966 while orbiting the Moon. Now, Neil Armstrong makes a rare public appearance in Australia to comment on the future of U.S. space exploration.

The Apollo missions to the Moon continue to help define the core composition of the Moon as NASA scientists investigate 1969-1977 data with the use of modern 21st-century technology.  

The NASA Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter has reestablished contact with the long-lost Soviet robot Lunokhod 1. After nearly forty years without a signal between it and Earth, the Lunokhod 1 lunar rover is once again helping humans learn more about the Moon.  

After years of conspiracy theories trying to convince people that the U.S. government faked the Moon landings, two Bangladeshi newspapers confirm indirectly that, indeed, the United States did land on the Moon in July 1969.

NASA is making available some partially restored videos of the Apollo 11 mission to the Moon that occurred in July 1969. Included in the 40-year-old videos is the broadcast of Neil Armstrong’s and Buzz Aldrin’s moonwalk on the lunar surface.

The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, on a current mission to map the Moon for upcoming lunar missions, has taken images of Apollo lunar landing sites. UPDATE: NASA has released these pictures on Friday, July 17, 2009.

It's a busy week for NASA as they launch the space shuttle Endeavour (STS-127) to the International Space Station and celebrate the fortieth anniversary of its first mission (Apollo 11) to land astronauts on the Moon.

The U.S. space agency, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), will observe the fortieth anniversary of the historic first human landing on the Moon when it plays the entire audio from the Apollo 11 mission at the exact time and date it was broadcast in 1969. This time, however, it will be streamed on the Internet.

The Kennedy Presidential Library will begin coverage of the first Moon landing by the NASA Apollo 11 mission on Thursday, July 16, 2009, forty years after Armstrong, Aldrin, and Collins were launched into space with their Saturn V rocket. It’s all on WeChooseTheMoon.
