Mare Tranquillitatis outside Flagstaff. "With high explosives, they terraformed a lunar surrogate right here on the surface of the earth." The excellent Pruned reports on the earth-bound moon model. USGS report.
To NASA's many achievments, we can add important contributions to golf cart science.

Ha! I knew that moon landing was fake.
This was a great Pruned entry, Geological Investigation of the Alluvial Valley of the Lower Mississippi River

Is the site still there? Can I visit the ruins of the moon?

I could have sworn that in aerial photography of the air base at Groom Lake, Nevada, I saw something really similar to this. Of course, maps.google is giving me nothing to support this memory.

Whoa... what a neat site! I'd also be curious to hear of the site is still there...
