Re: Orbit the Moon

Phil is right about the really low orbit not being that stable, but with no atmosphere, you could get damn good pictures from a much higher altitude and a decent-sized spysat-type telescope. Anyway, getting good shots from a low altitude raises all kinds of tracking problems as your target zips by (such things have to be compensated for by many existing fast space probes, too.)
