We’re a couple days away (as of Sunday’s post) from Japan crashing their spacecraft Selene into the Moon. The ship is currently orbiting the moon, photographing and mapping its surface in HD video. This video is shot from the perilune at 6.8 miles high, the closest point in Selene’s trajectory. Selene is scheduled to impact the Moon’s surface at 18:30, June 10, 2009 (GMT).
I hope they fly over one of the Apollo sites. I would love to see the historical sites. Of course I’d really *love* to be there in person.
We’re actually working on a project to get a video feed back from the Moon, to see some of the “conspiracy” areas on the Moon. I hope we get to work on this soon. Keep watching!
And in the meantime, watch this video taken from only 6 miles up (that’s about how high airliners fly here on earth). This is the next best thing to being there…
