Just read the article about the LSAM "Son of Apollo" from the Air & Space Magazine...
I wonder how heavy the windows will be, how the dust problem will be solved and if the astronauts will actually be piloting the lander. No doubt, they won't be landing in totally unknown terrain like Apollo 11 did.
There's a size comparizon between the LM and the LSAM! The astronauts would have to go down a tall ladder!!
Which makes me think: Neil Armstrong (yes, I'm still reading his bio), on the Moon, when it was time get back inside the LM, grabbed the ladder with both hands, bent his knees, and pushed very hard, jumped and landed on the third rung (from the bottom) which was about 6 feet high....A world record.
The camera did not witness this.
