    What, exactly, is so "stunning" about the photos? Some of the posts above have suggestions for truly stunning possibilities. Nazi bases, advertising logos, etc would be stunning. Miles and miles of undisturbed regolith? Not so much.

    well, it is stunning that the china probe who surveyed the place earlier didn't laser etch ideograms meaning "this place owned by china".

    The stunningness of the moon has been confirmed, if you have a problem with that you should give me money.
