“If you have a good telescope, can you see items that we left behind on the moon? (ie. flag, rover, etc.)“
Sorry, no. But, happily, you can see the rings around...
Oh, absolutely, the number of proofs from every angle is overwhelming. Radio transmissions for just one. But that isn’t going to convince anyone who can’t understand it, they have to take someone else’s word for it. Now that’s a whole ‘nother issue by itself, but...
I’m just pointing out the landscapes - without being a technician or math whiz or posessing any special scientific knowledge, should be enough for any rational person. There is a certain beauty to it, that is sort of reminiscent of the high desert. Just manificent desolation, as Buzz Aldrin called it. There’s just no way to fake that convincingly.
For me it would be really fun to zook along about 500 feet off the deck through the lunar mountains. That’s one thing that was kind of sad about Apollo 17, the way the LM was oriented during PDI they didn’t get any footage when they were level with the surrounding terrain (mountains) and below. During PDI they go from something like 40,000 miles an hour to hovering like a helicopter in about 10 minutes, it must have been something.
“...Seems to be a concerted effort to make people crazy”
Golly gee, nothin’ gets past you, does it? /s
I remember reading once an old wives tale that Frogs cause warts.
I have handled a Frog one time in my life that I can recall. About a week later I had a wart on my thumb. That doesn’t prove anything, but it sure seemed weird at the time. I’m not sure if I even knew of the Frog/Wart tale connection at the time.
There’s not a telescope in existence powerful to see objects that small on the moon from Earth, or even from Earth orbit. The Chinese, however, put a satellite into moon orbit which did capture images of the Apollo landing sites.
Yes, as the author of this article does, conflating one controversial issue with others as though all are equally beyond dispute.
Capricorn One?
Posting on FR is no guarantee against credulity.
“we don’t have that ability” NO. It’s because we don’t have the will.
That’s not it at all. There are 2 factors for this; 1) the movie Capricorn One planted the seed of how it could be done. 2) Dumbass 20 year olds too stupid to pass a pee test that see flaws like their are no stars behind the astronauts that prove it was done in a studio and go “ah ha!” That proves it’s fake. Same bunch of morons that said 9/11 was done with explosives.
That is hilarious
Was Saturn awesome last night or what!?
It was huge with the naked eye. Better with binocs. I got out my telescope and was blown away. First time I've seen the rings for myself. Quite the show.
Best argument for we went to the moon.
Well, I don’t think that argument quite is as strong, since it was their St. Kennedy that initiated the program, so they would have a strong motivation to not tarnish him by extension if they exposed Nixon for some chicanery with the moon landings.
Loved that movie!
I actually know one of the last 2 to walk/ride on the moon. It was/is real.
Wacko Loonie birds are everywhere, and they deserve self-extinction.
