A 1968 photo taken during a Lunar Orbiter mission to the moon shows what appears to be a spacecraft that is at least 10 miles (16 km) long resting inside the Crater Manlius. Most of the object is well illuminated by the sun, but the rest is in the shadows of the crater which is approximately 24 miles in diameter and 2 miles deep, What appears to be a spacecraft cockpit is in shadows.
What is even more compelling in the Lunar Orbiter photo is what appears to be a road that stretches across the entire horizontal width of the photo. The road can be estimated to be 120 miles (200 km) long and as much as a mile wide (1.6 km).

And how might a 16km long spacecraft weigh? Can it ever take off ? Why put such inside a crater?
