Are there any telescopic pictures of man's "supposed" landing on the moon?

Question

Where is the satellite imagery of the surface of the moon? There is such a controversy of whether or not man has landed on the moon. Show me pictures taken from Earth that show the flag on the moon, or the lunar modules, i.e. the automobile and the launch pad that were left behind. Until then, I will not believe it was ever done.

Answer 1

There is a reflector plate left by the astronauts on the moon, that reflects a laser beam by which the distance to the moon can be measured virtually to the centimeter. So much for conspiracy theories.

Answer 2

What if the astronauts left mirrors on the Moon, and we shined laser beams at them and saw the reflection. Would that convince you? Well, they did leave mirrors on the Moon, and we have shone lasers at them, and we have seen the reflection! In fact, we use lasers to determine the exact distance from Earth to the Moon, which is how we know that the Moon is slowly getting farther away from Earth.

With today's technology, our telescopes simply are not powerful enough (yet) to see a flag 240,000 miles away, or even the moon buggy. Eventually we will get those images, but even then I'm sure people will claim that it was all staged somehow or the pictures were photoshopped.

My favorite bit of proof - look at the motion of the lunar dust that is kicked up by the moon buggies. Anywhere on Earth, the dust would remain suspended in the air for a long time. On the Moon, since there's no air, even the dust particles follow perfect parabolic trajectories. There's simply no way to duplicate that on Earth. But don't take my word for it - go ahead and try it for yourself!

Answer 3

This isn't a question. The only "controversy" is generated by chumps taken in by profiteers like Hogeland. There's no telescope yet invented that can resolve something as small as a human on the Moon and at the time, there were no satellites orbiting the Moon. Even today, our best cameras can't with certainty resolve objects like that. Look at the pictures coming back from Mars (or are those fake too?).

So there, I've given you some attention. Do you feel better?

Answer 4

I suspect if someone did show you pictures taken from earth of the landing site, you would prefer to believe they were a hoax too.

Think about this: The first moon landing was almost 40 years ago. If this had been a hoax by the government, a very large number of people would have had to know about it. Do you really think none of these people would have decided to profit by writing a book or in general exposing this huge hoax?

Answer 5

There is no controversy about the moon landings.

Ask yourself how a simulation made in the New Mexico desert could be integrated seamlessly into mission control's dozens of monitors so that over three years of moon landings hundreds of highly intelligent controllers were fooled.

You and your ilk have some kind of picture of one moon landing at one time. Apollo was 7 years culiminating in 3 years of moon landings.

When was this hoax installed without anyone knowing and worked so seemlessly that hundreds of controllers never caught on?

You haven't really given it much thought, have you?

Having fixed ideas based on pure ignorance is the realm of fools. Do you consider yourself one?

Go and do some research of your own.

Answer 6

There aren't any pictures of Columbus's "supposed" discovery of the new world either. Obviously, that was a hoax by the Portuguese.

Answer 7

Have you got any pictures from your home camera of a town 200 miles away taken from you bedroom window?

So it doesn't exist then?

Also take a look on NASA WorldWind, which allows you to scan high res satellite observations of the Moon, Jupiter, and other planets just like Google Earth allows you to view Earth.

But if you're so closed minded already, I doubt you'll believe this.
