If we could fake it 45 years ago with the technology of the day, why not fake it some more with better technology over the past decades? Why not fake things that are harder to disprove, like going to Titan or other places you can't just point a low-grade telescope at to confirm?
- I think alot of the arguments for faking was to have control of the visuals.yurimon
- Example. We didnt want the russians to have peek, by faking for the public. if anything happens you can control the perception.yurimon
- perception. they say it was a control issue. claim of national security. blah blah. but who knows.yurimon
- I think for the most part. same thing happens with space photos, they go through intelligence agencies before hitting the public.yurimon
- released to the public so who knows whats edited or actual if they really find anything..yurimon

I just find shit like this [sad] funny - kind of like all the speculation in the MH17 thing - as soon as the idea crystallises that 'all is not what it seems', then every-fucking-thing goes.
"The missile was fired by the Ukrainians!"
or
"The Ukrainians were trailing the jet with a fighter!"
or
"The security at Schipol is run by JewSpaceReptiles who are trying to distract us from Gaza!"
etc
etc
ad nauseum.Ok, so which is it? Or is it just high-spirited over ebullience from people incapable of accepting that the world is an unforgiving shithole that doesn't care about their opinion?

Here, set - knock yourself out, the Indian satellite that orbited the moon a couple of years back did actually take high-enough resolution images to make out details of the landing sites (I must admit, I thought they didn't - I thought it was just NASA's LRO that had).

of course, you could then argue:
"Yeah, but the Indians are American shills!"
or
"Yeah, but those could've been robotic tracks!"
or
*squints*
"They're CLEARLY reptile egg trails!"- IS THERE ANY WAY TO HAVE THIS PHOTO IN HI-RES, PLEEEZGeorgesIV
- Oh...are you going to run some tests in the lab? What a clown.marychain
- Hey I never said I thought the US didn't go to the moon... Just wondered if there were pictures to shut people up.set
- Thanks for the linkset
- I know I come across as a bit of a fringe nut sometimes but I believe they went to the moon.set
- Though that low res photo of standard moon terrain hardly does much to cement my beliefset
- It's the best of the world's been bothered to try and do... as I implied, the Yanks are WAY ahead in this game.detritus

Only the inbred, hillbilly, redneck conspiracy theory fruitcake nut jobs don't believe that man has never landed on the moon.

Are there any pictures of non-US origin showing the flag and launcher they left behind?
......

- i got some on my flicker, i was there last year.ApeRobot
- You're telling me the US are the only ones capable of taking that kind of picture?set

Just look at this thing, its first flight was in 1964, it looks from another planet if you consider the tech involved

The aeronautics and aerospace industry was booming back then, both the Soviet Union and the US were pouring money like crazy into that. I don't have any issues believing the US astronauts set foot on the Moon.
- batman was in invented in 1939 though...you clearly can see the influence there.uan

But like i've said, US government have a long history of lies. So it's easy to be a conspirationist towards them. y'know.

China is supposed to go on Moon soon. We will see at that moment if the American flag is still there :)

What I find hilarious is that most of the conspiracy assholes that don't believe the Moon landing believe the US government somehow can provoke earthquakes or natural disasters anywhere on earth using HAARP.
The world is filled with idiots and internet isn't even helping because it's so easy to spread bullshit now.

The Apollo program on 2008 dollars would have been 98 billion dollars.
I'd say they definitely went there, for many reasons including the Cold War. But believe whatever you want to believe. Some people even believe AIDS doesn't exist!
