- Actually, the Apollo missions got longer and longer, up to a mission of three
- days on the surface by Apollo 17. The reason we didn't go back after that was
- funding cuts from a government and public that no longer cared, not fear of
- alien attack.

- I believe the Lunar Orbiter pictures are available to the public. If there are
- huge bases there please feel free to find them. Otherwise get a clue.
