This was my favorite. I can't believe the astronaut footpath from Apollo 14 is still there, and that NASA was able to image it!

The LRO moon mission has photographed some of the old Apollo sites. There are high resolution images and a full write-up the the link below. I can't encourage you enough to take a look at these. History is alive!
