    Has the Apollo 10 lunar module finally been found?

    apollo 10.jpg

    A team of British astronomers believe they may have located the lunar module from NASA's Apollo 10 mission - fifty years after the crew released the probe into a perpetual orbit around the Moon.

    The lunar module is one of the greatest surviving relics of the moon landings and scientists want to devise a way to retrieve it as it orbits some 50,000ft above the lunar surface.

    At the time of the mission in 1969, Tom Stafford, a member of the Apollo 10 crew radioed back to Houston from his own orbit around Moon that the crew had completely lost sight of the probe after they jettisoned it from their command module.





    ETA: Note: the object pictured is obviously the command module, not the lunar module.

    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

      I hadn't even realized they carried a full LEM on Apollo 11. Makes sense though, given how much extra space it would allow the astronauts.
