Easily the most exciting piece of hardware aboard the ship, however - for lay lunarphiles at least - will be the camera. Even the best reconnaissance photography before the Apollo visits missed things, which is why Apollo 11's landing almost came to grief when Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin found themselves piloting their lander over an unexpected boulder field just seconds before touchdown. That's less likely to happen this time, thanks to a camera that can visualize objects as small as a few feet across. What's more, since the LRO will be in a polar orbit instead...

Kumar, at the time a sophomore, made the first move by e-mailing Aggarwal, a graduate student in Near Eastern Languages and Cultures, after the show.
