We already have photos of the moon landing sites courtesy of the LRO - https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/LRO/news/apollo-sites.html

And find a tiny plaque? This photo was taken by the crew of Apollo 15 when they left it there..

Reply to comment by Perfect-Editor-5008 in Full moon, southern hemisphere shot by EduardoVrd

This hit me when I visited a friend in South Africa, I like to think I'm fairly well versed in the stars but the first time I looked up I've never felt so utterly lost! The moon, and orion, upsidedown just confused the hell out of me for a moment.

Southern cross does look pretty in real life though, never seen it with my own eyes before.

Nations throwing fucking crap in the skies for the last half a century without a care, one company comes along and does it better with a good disposal plan and they're the bad ones ..
