The evidence is mounting that man did indeed go to the moon....

Also....a close up of the plug-hole which drained all the water from the surface of the Moon 6 billion years ago?... Shocked

Amazing photos of the Moon explorations, from a long way away...250,000 miles!

I notice there is a Super Nova occurring in the Constellation of the Plough to watch tonight!

Time to get the binoculars/telescope out!

I do believe, but why are the pictures such a crap quality. Satellites that Google Earth used from 150miles up show the BBQ on my deck as plain as day. These are taken from 13 miles and still don't show much more that some out of focus pixels Huh

The close-up images on Google Earth are taken by aeroplanes that fly over and take the pictures. They're only a few thousand feet high. As far as I know, the satellite images themselves are only good enough to resolve a 1-meter-square patch of earth, on Earth, to one pixel.

...and there's silly old me thinking that the Pics were taken with a Pentax Sureshot camera plugged into the end of a powerful Earth-based telescope!

You are correct, the higher resolution aerial images you see today, including most on Google Earth, are taken from aircraft, usually under 10,000 feet.

A friend of mine is an avid conspiracy theorist, you name the conspiracy, he probably believes it or at least some form of it. When I showed him these pics he finally conceded that man "probably" did land on the moon. Grin

Conspirers are everywhere. Moon landings could not have been faked, in my humble opinion. If you lived through the cold war era, you should understand the chest bumping between the East and West and the constant monitoring of each others activities. Just saying..

A lot of the accusations were about the levels of technology available at the time. Sure, the rockets had as much memory as a desk calculator, but if you're using a fairly simple system (compared to modern rockets and shuttles) then it was enough.

Don't get me wrong, going to the moon was hard, but it wasn't that hard. Propulsion, aerodynamics, controls, oxygen, living quarters and a pod with reverse thrust. The difficulty was doing it for the first time, and they had enough casualties and failures to get to where they are now.

I, for one, totally agree. Cool

Even Chavez said recently said in Public that the moon landing were fake

all this conspiracy theory are simply people jealous and haters of the United States ,people that want and try to damage the US some how, and it only show their ignorance

This type of thing shows their lack of knowledge ,the lack of readings

You will never see a Physicist or any REAL scientist claim such of stupidity

I recently have a forum ( a real one alive me and 3 astronomers and one PhD astrophysicist in local public library and many people without studies in their life hold this theory ,When I ask to one of them where are your sources of what you claim ? he didn't knew what was the word "Sources" and he change the subject by talking about how the extraterrestrials made the Pyramids in Giza Roll Eyes

Its more easy to destroy than build , 10 years of Apollo Program working ,even some people gave their life ..
