I particularly like this part of the narrative.

"With the increased resolution of the LRO Camera as well as the new information gathered by LRO's other instruments, scientists can characterize the moon's surface in ways never before possible. This information will be critical for both science and future exploration plans. Not only that, but now thanks to the "Moon Zoo" (http://www.moonzoo.org) the public can get involved doing their own crater and boulder counts to aid in the research. With hundreds of gigabytes of new data returning daily, the contribution of "citizen scientists" can play a crucial part in lunar science."
