One thing the LRO images of Apollo 14 has done

Socrates II — 8/21/2009 5:51:29 PM (archived)

Is to help figure out why and how the two astronauts just missed
peering into Cone Crater, their ultimate destination:

I wonder if LRO will be able to see Shepard's golf balls? :^) You can
bet when astroarchaeologists actually reach the Apollo 14 landing site
some day that they will be searching for those little dimpled globes of
history.

So when do the Apollo 12/Surveyor 3 LRO images come out?
