re: So-called "moon landing"

quote:This is not complicated. The smallest features we can observe on the moon with the naked eye are generally greater than 300km across.
We put the world's most expensive telescope, the eleventy-billion dollar Hubble, into orbit around the Earth. Seems like it should have gotten a slew of 100 mega pixel images of all the NASA debris on the moon.
Given the size of its primary mirror and its focal length, the Hubble Space Telescope is capable of a magnification factor of 400x without light distortion, and 1440x with altered surface brightness.
I'll just leave those FACTS here instead of spoonfeeding you a result. Run the math. When you do, you'll understand why Hubble is not up to the task of Apollo landing site analysis. Conversely, you can persist, and continue to evidence yourself as a dummy.
The magnificence of Hubble is its ability to accurately gather and concentrate light emitted billions of light years away.

Instead of quoting Wikipedia propaganda on those reflectors you might want to read up on whether we've actually ever been able to use them.

When the Apollo 11 crew placed reflectors on the Moon, it marked the beginning of lunar laser ranging, an experiment that continues producing results to this day.
Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins departed from the Moon 50 years ago, but one of the experiments they left behind continues to return fresh data to this day: arrays of prisms that reflect light back toward its source, providing plentiful insights. Along with the Apollo 11 astronauts, those of Apollo 14 and 15 left arrays behind as well: The Apollo 11 and 14 arrays have 100 quartz glass prisms (called corner cubes) each, while the array of Apollo 15 has 300.
The longevity of the experiment can be attributed at least in part to its simplicity: The arrays themselves require no power. Four telescopes at observatories in New Mexico, France, Italy and Germany fire lasers at them, measuring the time that it takes for a laser pulse to bounce off the reflectors and return to Earth. This allows the distance to be measured to within a fraction of an inch (a few millimeters), and scientists at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory analyze the results.

Another reasonable explanation for their decades of deceit is they can't really show us more because we and our space partners (whoever that may be) have militarized the crap out of the moon surface that always faces us and we can't let on.
It's not like Richard Nixon and Werner von Braun would lie to us about the original mission.

Anyone who believes a man can open a door, then step out of a spaceship traveling at 17,500 miles per hour and go for a casual stroll in space is a prat.
Nothing but down votes for my comment earlier.
Someone please explain how it's possible for a human to open a spaceship door and step out at 17,500 miles per hour and not be ripped to shreds.
That miles per hour is not just a number I made up. That is what NASA claims the space shuttle is flying at when it's in space.

Please tell me you aren't serious. Please tell me that.

What a failure of our educational system.
You do realize that the government decides the history you will be taught right? There's a reason the government wants to keep the citizens in the dark. They control everything. They decide what science, history and math you learn amongst other things.
The same government you praise for a moon landing has no problem lying to you, killing you, or not caring for you. I bet our overlords are laughing their collective asses off at the ones that believe they are intelligent because they were taught we landed on the moon.

Can't answer it.

They have to be trolling. They just have to be right?

Do you think that while they are in the space shuttle or space station that they are at a standstill... are NOT moving... and that when they step out of it then suddenly they ARE moving at over 16,000 miles per hour?

Goodness!
How'd "they" hide all that massive militarization on the moon surface?

Are you going to answer the question or continue to act like a homo?

It's on the other side... the one we can't see.

What is it exactly that you think will rip the astronaut to shreds?

Well, its because they are in a vacuum, much like the space between your ears.

You suck. Answer the question or move on.
Keep sucking them Government teats.

What kind of vacuum? Dyson, Hoover, or Bissell?

People like you are unhinged.
The government isn't competent enough to control all the things you think they can control. Landing on the moan is literally easier than fabricating a massive hoax about it.
