...Cambodia, African-style.' That is how some Westerners describe Uganda today ... They contend that the government of President Apollo Milton Obote ... has caused the deaths of as many as 100,000 Ugandan civilians and brought another 150,000 to the brink of starvation in a ruthless campaign to wipe out guerrillas ...

Combine that with the ready lode of oxygen-rich ilmenite, and you?ve got a prime spot for a future moon base...
...Striking as the Hubble images are, there is one thing they couldn?t reveal. The telescope?s giant eye can see lunar objects no smaller than 60 yards across. Somewhere in Taurus-Littrow and Hadley-Apennine are the comparatively tiny, truck-sized descent stages of the Apollo lunar modules, left behind when the crews blasted off.
