Back to topic.. whatcha gonna do when the Japanese (or Google).. bring back some artifacts from 1969.. ? Then too.. there is a moon buggy or two.. maybe three, sitting there..? They were from the later flights.

Japan has a small probe on the way: SPACE.com -- Japan Launches Kaguya Probe on Moon Mission

And Google has this: SPACE.com -- Google to Sponsor $30 Million Lunar X Prize

When I call Japan's craft "small" - it is.. compared to the 50 tons dispatched with Apollo flights. The Saturn V booster had 7.5 million lbs of thrust. I saw some articles where Von Braun had a 9 million lb thrust booster for the later.. more ambitious expeditions..
