1. changing the orientation of the HST requires expenditure of thruster fuel. NASA *knows* we landed, so there is no pressing research need justifying the expense of reorientation thruster burns. Why would NASA bother to use this expensive-to-resupply material just to satisfy idiots?
2. Even if they DID reorient the HST and take the requested pics, do you really think the idiots would cease jabbering? Hell, no! They'd just start screaming about how the image was computer-generated to perpetuate the hoax.
So, basically, the idiots' calls to use the Hubble to scope the landing sites is spurious.
Factor in the fact that these sites can be scoped from the ground using privately owned reflector arrays, and have been scoped, and the trash left over from the landings HAS been spotted using such means... one is left to conclude that the idiots will NEVER shut up until they are themselves sent out of a lander onto the sites in question.
preferably: without a space suit.
I just have to tell my "I lectured Neil Armstrong" story here. In 1965 I was at a glider pilot gathering in Dallas, where three men from Houston had flown up in a light plane. The weather was very bad and one or two small aircraft had been lost during the day. I was chatting with some fellow who had been telling war stories about the Korean war. I said "I hope you guys aren't going to fly back to Houston tonight?" He said "No, that even scares me, and I'm supposed to be fearless!" I went home and found his picture in Life magazine. He would not identify himself as an astronaut, just "I work for NASA", as he had not actually flown in space then. But I never forgot "supposed to be fearless".
That is way cool! :-)
Poetic.
Thanks.

Oh I saw that a few years ago! That`s the nut who confronted him (Aldrin?) about the moon landing and BANG ZOOOM, right in the kisser! I don`t think he got into any trouble for nailing that nut.
This is going to sound stupid, but how come every time I see people in space pictures, I never see any stars? Is it because they are traveling too fast and somehow the starlight can`t be focused on?
