NASA to ask future lunar explorers to avoid Apollo landing sites
And they think this is going to work? NASA to ask future lunar explorers to avoid Apollo landing sites in order to protect them from damage or looting.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

i dont wish to open the “can of worms” but it seems as if NASA once had a grip on Space topics yet they are quickly loosing their touch.
I think that future lunar explorers might well respect the original Apollo sites. I’m sure I’m not the first to think that Apollo site tourism might well be profitable. Land a robot on the Moon, program it so that it won’t go within some set distance of the center of each site or cross the tracks of the lunar rover, and charge people for ‘stick time’ to take a teleoperated tour of the sites. This might have to wait until the Moon gets its own constellation of GPS satellites, but being so much smaller than Earth, it wouldn’t need as many.
Yes, this is the risk “as dozens of private teams, spurred on by $30 million in prize money from Google and the X Prize Foundation, race to return to the moon as early as next year”.
Might want to ask out Russian, Chinese and Indian friends to leave our stuff alone; since we will not be there to look out for it. Pathetic.
