The photo must show the lunar rover and lunar lander and the American flag. These photos must be after they have supposedly left the site. The photo must be by telescope from the Earth to the moon! If no one can find any recent photos then the moon landings are a massive hoax! This will prove it once and for all! I don't believe we have as yet landed people on the moon!

To remind u and other readers...we CAN'T see the lunar rover or whatsoever using our telescope on earth.No matter how BIG the telescope is, we still CAN'T see it because of atmospheric blurring.
Even HUBBLE can't see it...because that landing site (flag and all that) is so SMALL.... and MOON is MOVING so fast.
It's just like trying to see a COIN when you are travelling with an AEROPLANE high in the SKY
DID U GET IT? OR U NEED ME TO REPEAT IT AGAIN?

Although my wife's father performed fuel calculations for the original Apollo landing, I'll spare you that speech. Instead, I will encourage you to watch two programs. The first show is called Conspiracy Moon Landing that it currently showing on the National Geographic Channel and it pretty much obliterates all of the popular conspiracy theories.
I would also encourage you to watch a movie called Capricorn One. Made it 1978, it is a fictional story about a fake mission to Mars. Although it is a science fiction story, it is a good example of how utterly impossible it would be to fake a moon landing for any length of time.
12 men walked on the moon from 1969 to 1972 and we have neither the resources nor the technology to pull off that big of a hoax for so long. Hundreds of thousands of people have worked on the space program. It would be far easier to put someone on the moon than to try and fake it and keep it secret for nearly 40 years.
The landings came at a time when our space program was ultra competitive with the former Soviet Union. Remember how big of a deal it was when Sputnik was put into orbit? They had the technology to monitor our moon shots and transmissions. Don't you think they would have called us out if they had evidence that it was all fake?
Perhaps the most definitive proof of our trip to the moon is what we left behind. For the last 35+ years, scientists have been beaming lasers to the moon and measuring the return times. How are they doing this? The beams are reflected back by equipment left on the moon on at 3 different locations.
Case closed.

Your assumption that no photographic evidence means it didnt happen is faulty. The problem is that it's somewhat like asking a person with their naked eye to spot the red blood cell on you're neighbors face from across the yard. Although we have fairly strong telescopes, they are nowhere near as powerful as a telescope would need to be in order to see the landing site. From the ground, a telescope would need an aperture of 32m or larger to distinguish things 0.1m apart. The largest telescope in the world, the Keck telescopes, have a 10m aperture. Factor in haze and the fact that no optical instrument is perfect and you know why we can't see it. Telescopes in orbit are not large enough to see it either.
There is a telescope that either is slated to be launched this year or has already been launched that was going to do a pass of the moon and take pictures of the lunar landing spot. Since it goes right up to the moon, you can capture pictures that way.
Moon-landing hoax conspiracy theories are un-scientific and rather annoying.

The entire hoax moon landing story is based on a movie called "Capricorn One" about how the moon landing was faked. It was actually based on an earlier story, and a tv show (but I cannot recall what). Some people are so desperare to believe in conspiracies, they create more and spend their lives chasing shadows.
Either way, if we landed on the moon or not...does it REALLY affect your day to day life in anyway? The price of a soda, the amount of daylight, the size of your shirt, the friends you have, the name you were born with...does any of it change?
Check the link for more info about the movie. If you are into sci-fi or political thrillers, it's worth a watch.
