What? No, just a little bit of a zoom lens and a high resolution camera.

Honestly I was hoping for real photos from something we landed on the moon.

Suffice to say, if I did a hole deep enough in my backyard I won't be in China.

Post by: cpxxx on January 08, 2013, 09:13:55 AM: Tried that dig a hole in the Earth site. Came out just in the Tasman sea between Australia and New Zealand. Which is funny because everyone here says you would come out in Australia dug down. Not bad. It also proves the point that the Aussies and Kiwis are in fact upside down after all.
