The pictures might be of the "best" they have? I hope not, but rumor has it, that it is. Though the telescope should fetch a pretty penny once cleaned up, maybe enough to cover expenses.
Newbies, IMO, we will never see pictures of gold or anything of major value.
BECAUSE the DR doesn't want a big mess down there!. Their biggest navy boat is probably a 30 ft'r with 1 machine gun on it! Be GLAD that DPBM can prove work IS being done
