So, I am walking my dog and take like 20 pictures of him plying. Guys fly to the moon and all we've got is just this one image?

I'm betting that we get a vast majority of the pictures after the splashdown. They aren't even at the moon yet, so the most important pics of the trip are yet to be snapped.

That being said, I really really really like this one because it's showing the moonlit nightside of the planet with auroras, airglow and zodiacal light in the background. A picture like that has never been taken before.
