Europe's first spacecraft to the moon ended its three-year mission Sunday by crashing into the lunar surface in a volcanic plane called the Lake of Excellence, to a round of applause in the mission control room in Germany.

Is there somewhere the public can view the photos the probe took? It'd be great if they got some Sea Of tranquility shots on flyby- shut all the conspiracy nuts up.

Well, there is that. The whole conspiracy aspect is usually dependeant on the event having taken place a long time ago and facts having become less clear (or events not easily reproduced). Theres already some nuts saying the world trade centers were destroyed by explosives planted by the US government (like that would go unnoticed) and that terrorists were not involved...

I'd like to see them explain away the fucking PLANES that crashed into the towers...

The planes were CGIed in to the videos, while the populace that thought they had seen the planes were given drugs and hypnotized in to believing that they had seen it.
Also, no one was really killed in the towers, all people were whisked away to government labs to use as lab rats.
