It might not have landed at the Surveyor 7 site - by then, we'd probably have had a piloted lunar polar orbiter, so we'd have really great images of potential sites around and in the crater. <br /><br />dsfpDavid S.

But a lot of folks didn't like Tycho for a lot of reasons. My post mentions one - too rocky to use the LRV. Tycho stayed in the running until fairly late, however, all things considered.<br /><br />dsfpDavid S. F.
