For any conspiracy theorists, you can look at the edges of the dark side and guess at what has been digitally removed.

Here's an example of the graphics

Really makes you wonder .... wonder why we never went back ...

And I forgot to copy the big one- Apollo 11.
“We are the only ones, and all those billions of rocks are for us to look at (even the trillions we can’t see)... Ain’t we special on this little speck in the corner of the milkyway?”
Probably, IF there is life elsewhere in the universe what are the odds they would be here at exactly this time. I mean out of the billions of years of history on earth and the universe what are the odds two life forms developed at exactly the same time. odds are even greater that they would know how to use an airbrush.
Yup, that's as reasonable a synopsis as any.
Just GOD and HIS angels and the demonic forces (aka, 'Prince of the Power of Air', 'satan transformed as an angel of light', etc...) and us.
In other words -- there aren't any 'green men' out there.
We are made in the image of God - and its our privilege to give HIM honor and Glory and worship...
IF people insist on looking everywhere but at GOD, HE has let it be known that he will send them a delusion so that they will believe a lie
2 Thessalonians 2 10-12
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
So rather than getting sucked up into delusions -- keep your eyes on Jesus.
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
I hope your kindness in your reply does not come back to haunt you.
No airbrushing needed there thats fer sure.
Learn when to use an apostrophe, then maybe I’ll take a look.
The Moon does indeed rotate.
12 men have walked on the Moon. Apollo 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 ,16, and 17. Apollo 13 did not land on the Moon. After Apollo 17, the program was cut.
No, it doesn’t. It moves a little bit, but it does not rotate.
Quix is right, and that is what that art bell caller is explaining that is posted earlier.
Thank you for that much better summary. I said “landings” not manned landings so I included the three Soviet missions that brought back moon rocks.
Yes, the moon does rotate. It's rotational period matches its orbital period - that is referred to as tidal lock. If it did not rotate, we would see the entire surface as it orbited the earth.
Try an experiment with a couple of balls - mark each one and then move one in a circle around the other, keeping the marks lined up. You'll notice that the ball in "orbit" completes one rotation about its axis for each "orbit" it makes around the other ball. The try it again, keeping the mark on the "orbiting" ball lined up with a point somewhere else in the room. You'll notice that the orbiting ball continually presents a different side of itself to the ball it's circling as it orbits.
The same thing is happening to the Earth-Sun system. The Earth's rotation about its axis is very gradually slowing down, and eventually the Earth will be tidally locked to the Sun and one side of it will always face the Sun while the other side will face away. But that won't happen for a few billion years.
>>How many photos have been released of the dark side. Four?<<
The far side or the dark side?
I believe the answer is thousands of pictures.
I was going to suggest the vworldwind program myself but I figured that the nutjobs would seize upon the few blank spaces and claim them to be part of the conspiracy.
The Soviet moon landings were all unmanned probes. Three of them returned lunar samples to Earth -
Luna 16 - launched 9/20/1970
Luna 20 - launched 2/14/1972
Luna 24 - launched 8/14/1976
BTW the best part of the Worldwind program is the Sloan digital sky survey.
