Images of Moon Landings - 40 Years On

Images from the Apollo 14 landing sites have been sent back to Earth by Nasa's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) showing the lunar module and trail of footprints. Forty years after the original moon landings these are the first images to show the original sites. NASA are using this mission to scout out new landing sites for future exploration and possible colonisation.

Slightly Tweaked Format

The eagle-eyed amongst you may have noticed a slight change of format to my posts. I originally started this to showcase some quiz questions that would interest and challenge you about events/birthdays from 'This Day in History'. As the weeks have gone by I've tried to include topical events to express my views and also to help get a better search engine listing. (Don't really know what I'm doing, but it seemed like a good idea at the time!!).

As I tend to waffle on a bit, the questions seemed to get a bit lost, so now they stand out a bit more. After all that's why I started this endeavour. Any comments gratefully received!
