Most likely landed fine though. There's something on the backside we alllll would be interested in I bet.

Over the years, I've heard plenty of stories about weird things and happenings on the backside of the moon.

Crazy Hat off.

I love conspiracy theories.

But we have some pretty good pictures of the backside of the Moon. It probably hasn't changed that much in the last 40 years.

Wheres ALL the pictures? And what havent they told us? Just curious.

You can rotate it using the mouse. It has a variety of settings/controls. If you enable the bulls-eye/target control on the upper right, then click a point on the sphere, it will zoom in quite nicely. The 'Home' icon takes you back to the default distance/view.

Five of them.
I worked on processing some of the data from the original tapes as part of the Lunar Orbiter Image Recovery Project (LOIRP).
Some of the LO imagery that was publicly released in the 1960s was indeed filtered as not to reveal the level of detail the orbiters optical system was capable of as they were essentially state of the art spysat camera systems. Having personally assembled quite a few of the very long photographic strips from several missions, I can tell you with great certainty that every single alien base on lunar farside is cleverly disguised as rocks, rilles, and regolith.

But don't take my word for it, see for yourself-

Who the hell knows what this really means. The one thing we can be sure of is that the official CCP/Xi story will never perfectly match reality/facts.

J'You bounce bro???

I hope it succeeded.
