First Commercial Mission to Moon...

First Commercial Mission to Moon will verify Apollo landing sites: "The U.S. Government has just licensed the first commercial mission to the moon. That probe, dubbed Trailblazer, will orbit the moon for 90 days, filming portraits of Earth as it rises over the lunar horizon and mapping the moonscape in unprecedented detail - as small as one meter in diameter. 'We're also looking to verify Apollo and other landing sites,' said TransOrbital President Dennis Laurie. He said 'verify' because there are still a few people out there who believe the Apollo program was a hoax."
