so none of us should believe anything about the moon b/c we haven't been there? Am I understanding this logic correctly?
- If you can call it that, yes, that's what's being said.detritus
- it's laughable and infuriating what people think is logic around heremonospaced

Are there any pictures of non-US origin showing the flag and launcher they left behind?
......
- yeah the Albanians have a whole stack..._niko
- China, Russia....set
- Are there any other nations capable of taking such high res pics? Nope? Oh well.detritus
- lolApeRobot
- 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
- I don't claim to know but that sounds ridiculous...set
- The UK certainly did not, too busy listening to the Beatles.utopian

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

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

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?

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

2 simple questions.
I just want to know why they haven't been back, I don't think it's just a huge round rock.
And why the fuck are pictures so shitty, always black and white with low resolution.
- 1 - no need, political or scientific. 2 - which pics? No they're not.detritus
- *hopefully* we'll see a big resurgence in human missions to the moon - ther's just been other focuses for the past 40 yearsdetritus
- years (sadly and perhaps misguidedly!)detritus
- It would probably help if you watched audience response to later moon landings - The people stopped caring.detritus
- oh well :(Maaku
- you don't believe it's just a huge round rock? really?monospaced
- < Just assuming there's more than jus dirt there.Maaku
- what, like cheese? lol... sorry, but we know a shitload about the moon and we know what it's made ofmonospaced

Actually, Utopian - it was the British and Australian science communities that did much of the tracking and relaying of communications during the Apollo missions, aiding their American counterparts and in the process confirming through radio wave data the reality and existence of these missions.
Of course, it wouldn't've even crossed their minds that they should have to verify any shift in wavelengths that would confirm the veracity of the American enterprise.. that would've been what the Soviets were up to...
Ok, so it's not a high-res photo of the moon landing site as such, but it's as good as where evidence is concerned.

The most important documentary made to date. Get an HD rip or a Bluray. It looks soooo good.
