These pictures have been taken by spacecrafts built in the Apollo era for 
most of them.
There are many thing interesting to do on the Moon:

-Build a safe nuclear energy technology, including production of unstable 
isotopes in nuclear blasts.
-Make all spectrum radio astronomy on the face opposite to Earth.
-Look for Earth meteorites from the big impact age at the start of life.
- Mine helium3 for low temperature applications.
- make giant particle accelerators (not practical in orbit because of the 
scale of radiators.
-collect solar energy in orbit, beam it to ground and transform it into 
microwaves before sending it to Earth. (energy conversion in space has a big 
radiator problem, here the ground serve as a thermal sink).
