Can any cameras from earth take photos showing the details of the moon landing?

This website debunks each and every one of the so-called "proofs" that the lunar landings were all faked ==> http://www.badastronomy.com/bad/tv/foxapollo.html

So people have told you the landings were a hoax. I bet that other people have told you the landings were genuine. For example, I am telling you that the landings were genuine. The question is which people will you believe?
There is no camera or telescope that could show small enough objects on the moon to see any evidence of the landings. The wave nature of light sets a lower limit on the smallest detail that a telescope can see. For example, a 10 foot object on the Moon would not be visible to any telescope less than about half a mile wide. But let us suppose that NASA had a 10 mile telescope and released pictures from it showing a US flag on the Moon. Would you believe that picture was genuine or would you say it was faked by the same conspirators who you think faked all the other pictures?

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.

definite, NASA positioned human beings onto the moon. Why reason a huge sufficient vacuum chamber to also act as a movie set does no longer exist. And, with out being in an airless ecosystem or vacuum you'll no longer drop a feather and a hammer and performance them hit the floor at the same time like on the Apollo 15 challenge...i imagine it replaced into 15. There are thousands of different issues that coach the Apollo missions were real and effective, yet even truth will be ineffective at the same time as attempting to cajole a moron.

Yes, the moon landing happened. It was NOT a big hoax.
No, no camera/telescope/... on Earth (or orbiting Earth) is large enough to view any man made objects left on the moon...they are just too small and too far away.

Yes,there were 12 men who walked on the Moon During NASA'S Apollo Lunar Project the cameras that took the pictures of the moon,were tooken by the Astronauts who walked on the Moon

Of course we landed on the moon. Talks of radiation making it impossible are rediculous, as are most of the conspiracy theories. Not to mention the people themselves - Neil Armstrong has spent his life as a philanthropist and humanitarian. A man like that would have too strong a conscious to lie so long about something so big, the biggest accomplishment in human exploration history.

Yes I think so. I learnt some time ago that Niel Armstrong was the first man to land on the moon.

I believe there was a moon landing. Space exploration is necessary in order for us to find a new planet to inhabit once ours is totally f---ed. That should be in a few years!
Don't think any cameras are that strong.

I would certainly hope not! My grandpa knew Neil Armstrong (or so I've been told) and there are all kinds of Air and Space Museams throught the country that discuss the trip in extensive detail... Not entirely sure I suppose, here maybe this site will be helpful...

Did you ever here of the Laser Ranging Retroreflector Experiment? The McDonald Observatory? Check it out.
More to the point, do you really believe that our government could keep such an outlandish conspiracy a secret? Seriously. They couldn't even keep the presidents quicky BJ a secret.
