[edit] Budgetary considerations

I've amended the paragraph about why the ALSEPs were shut down. It wasn't just about money. Jonathan Silverlight 01:57, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

I don't think that the power considerations are correct. I've been told by people involved with the experiment that it could have continued for several years. After it was turned off, they tried reactivating it 10 years later but were unsuccessful. Lunokhod 09:52, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ode to ALSEP

Is this really the place to be posting poetry? I vote to cut it. Lunokhod 18:43, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lunar laser ranging

Is the LLR experiment considered to be part of ALSEP? Its not powered by the central station, but it was emplaced in the vicinity. Lunokhod 10:42, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
