Where's our "right stuff"?

Apparently those terrific 3D perspective images of 10 raw meters per
pixel that so far can't muster up one large item worth of anything
NASA/Apollo is getting downright testy. Perhaps our NASA rusemasters
will have to nuke Japan once again for good measure, either that or
getting those Boeing ABLs taking a few DoD practice IR laser cannon
shots at JAXA's Selene, much like DoD allowed the use of our shuttle
Columbia as a rather nifty remote thermal energy sensing target.
