    • His battery life is indeed impressive. But 14 years of sand dunes pictures, not so much.Maaku
    • well, if you think that is the end result of hte mission, then you are grossly, drastically misinformedmonospaced
    • and btw, on-site photos of the moon are impressive ... to claim otherwise is just being daftmonospaced
    • I mean, we did find out there's ice and possibly water, as well as more data regarding it's atmosphere. But send that Chinese camera with 195 gigapixelsMaaku
    • And then we can talk about impressive visual data. Maybe that'll help put an end to all the conspiracies.Maaku
    • uhhh, we also put a freakin' rover on the moon and controlled it for 14 years while it took high-res images that put an end to conspiracies once and for allmonospaced
    • how that's not impressive I do not knowmonospaced
    • Did it go around or fell off the flat edge? Just kidding :)Maaku
