Right now there are two robotic probes working on the moon. The first one is Japan’s SELENE, which is already beaming back the first hi-def videos of the moon. I suggest you take a look at their Earthrise... it's pretty cool. SELENE is also carrying thousands of names and messages from regular people out into space (mine included). The second probe is China’s Chang-e 1, and it's recently sent back its first images of the moon. It doesn’t stop there as India is scheduled to launch their own probe, Chandrayaan-1, to the moon in April.
As a space enthusiast and someone that has over the years lost a lot of confidence in NASA, I’m just glad someone is up there paving the way back to the moon.
