Ah, I see. That makes a lot more sense. It didn't seem very likely someone had parked a bus up there.

Not even Cliff or Vyvyan's map-reading would have been that bad.

As for the bomber, that's none too plausible either, though I'm sure that Giorgio Tsoukalos off the History Channel has a theory.

What I'd like to know (and haven't seen in the media) is whether the lander and/or rover is designed to survive the lunar night or not.  That's a non-trivial engineering challenge in itself.

(The hardware is, but the biosphere is frozen at -52C and will start to decompose when it thaws out again in a couple of weeks.)
