The Apollo missions were timed so that the sun was at 6 degrees elevation above the lunar horizon. NASA planners felt like this gave the astronauts the best and clearest view of the lunar surface.
Good question. At this time there are no definite plans by any country or organization for a moon landing. Such a project would be very expensive, and no one is willing to commit to it at this time.

He directed the film "Apollo 13" about the failed moon landing. After that he and Tom Hanks produced a mini series for HBO entitled "From the Earth to the Moon."
When there is a full Moon, the Moon is on the opposite side of the Earth to the Sun, and the Sun's rays reflect off the moon and back to Earth. So we have SUN >>> EARTH >>> MOON. At this time, the side of the Moon facing the Earth is in full sunlight, and the Sun is very high in the sky as seen from the Apollo landing sites. This means that shadows on the Moon are very short at this time, which would have made it more difficult for astronauts to see detail on the surface, especially during the landing. So in fact the landing took place whilst it was "morning" on the Moon, so that the Sun was lower in the sky and shadows would make the surface detail stand out more.
The original video tape recording of the first steps on the moon by Apollo 11 astronauts was not physically lost but was accidental erased and recycled by NASA. In 2009, other copies of the footage were used to produce a restored version in time for the 40th anniversary of the moon landing.
