Comments on: Lunar orbiter photographs Apollo landing sites

Not yet in its final orbit, NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter has snapped pictures of five Apollo landing sites, showing abandoned equipment and astronaut trails in the lunar dust.

As a shabbos goy, i can say that master has sure done proven me real good that we done land on das dere moon. Masta has all de credabilty in de world, and should we question masta's credibility we must leave it up to masta to set us straight. Masta, youz woldn't lies to us mere goyem would youz mastas? I thoughts nots mastas.

Looking forward to seeing more photographs and I hope google moon will use them too. For a good explanation of what is necessary to see the lunar sites through a telescope please see the RASC Calgary Centre site at : http://calgary.rasc.ca/moonscope.htm
Enjoy.

So where is the Flag? When I see that I will never talk about this again. Seeing randomn things on the surface of the moon doesn`t really do it for me. I wish we could get that 1960's t.v uplink technology to check it out

you should watch the Myth Busters episode on the Moon Landing! That should be enough to do it for you... unless you really want to believe the delusions of a rotten teeth old man who lives in the desert in a trailer and runs a cat sanctuary! I'm sure he's all levels of credible ;)

I wonder how many of you conspiracy folks are religious. I bet you find it easy to believe in a story handed down over 2000 years in a books re-written and re-translated many times over, but you WANT to not believe we went to the moon even though there are pictures, video and audio, physical evidence. I mean all that stuff can be faked, but no one would have lied to humanity over the last 2000 years. I find you all quite laughable, those who insist on some massive conspiracy.

No kidding... it amazes me that some people believe that Noah built a boat large enough to hold all the animals, 2 by 2, complete with food, drinking water, some sort of sewage system and was able to float around the ocean for nearly a year, then his family and boat load of animals repopulate the entire planet without any gene damage and retardation due to massive inbreeding.

If ancient man could build the pyramids, then surely modern man can make it to the moon.

I don't think you need a sewage system in the ocean... Gravity works 100% of the time.

As powerful as Hubble is, it doesn't have capability to track the object with 1m precision on the Moon that flies at 1 km/s, while flying at 7 km/s. Tracking is difficullt enough for the lunar orbiter which flies closer and at 3 km/s.

Moon landing and 9/11 conspiracy theories make for handy and reliable intelligence tests. As soon as someone starts blithering about either one, I know that I can safely divert my attention away from them, and, hopefully, toward someone who's not stupid. I don't have enough seconds left, to be wasting them on morons.

Hey... too long a thread, but wanted to reflect on something.

The fact that NASA is so busy trying to "leak" photos of the lander is just another evidence that lots of people think the Lunar landings were faked. Also the fact that Apollo 13 (the second flight after the 11) never landed on the moon, begs for suspicion.

Another disturbing fact was that NASA's cameras never pointed to the sky and are always horizon based.

In real terms, the real issue is not whether the U.S. landed on the moon, which I think could be proven by other means, but the blind-sight held by the Nixon administration which prevented any other foreign ally (French, German, etc) from landing on the moon, which could have erased any doubt set by the Lunar Missions.

In the future, Mankind should be wiser and prevent one single country from taking all the merit so the accomplishment is really shared by the whole species, and not just one "selected" group.

who are you kidding? you can see into deep space but you can't give any clearer pictures of the things we left on the moon? no wonder a lot of the American people don't beleive it. we can see deep space in brillant focus, but,we can't get clear pictures of the moon? too bad....i've taught my children to beleive in yuou...but now when they have questions about this i have no answers. even now i question it!

Dearest hoax dummiies, watch the video footage of the Apollo 11 landing and notice the crater the LM passes over , just before it lands. Notice the small dimple on the right side of it. Now look at the latest lunar reconisance picture of the Apollo 11 site. Well how 'bout that, skippy, the crater is the same! If you dummies would just do a tiny bit of research of your own and keep an open mind......dare to dream! Thanx, knowles2 for your comment on conspiracy is like religion-so true.

Check out the latest apollo 17 landing site images from <spacefellowship.com>. Go to the news section and scrole down. Now zoom in on the second image. Decent stage clearly visible. The best part to me is the TIRE TRACKS from the lunar rover!! Choke on it, hoax dummies!
