Supposedly the images (once refurbished with modern technology) are amazing, and NASA's next lunar probe in the spring will be able to provide images to compare with the older ones. It will be interesting to see how the moon has changed in 40 odd years. I know, we're way beyond the moon at this point, but its always good to remember your roots and realize they still inspire awe.
