NASA Spacecraft Images Offer Sharper Views of Apollo Landing Sites

Today with a budget and workforce many times larger,

Incorrect. NASA's peak budget year was 1966 at $32 billion in constant dollars equaling 4.41% of the federal budget. Today it is $18 billion equaling 0.49% of the budget.

Not that I won’t be able to enjoy the movie. But I am dreading the day one of my students repeats back to me verbatim the “truth” of the secret Apollo 18 mission.

I was looking forward to this movie until I read the user reviews from our local theatre. They all said it was very boring so I'll wait for it on Netflix.

Such a great idea for a good film though, so I'm sure that this will become another urban myth.

it sucked...

Have they been able to locate the rover and if so was it on blocks?

thanks ZGuy.

Thanks Explorer89! Hey look everybody, it's an "extra extra" topic!

After the faked Moon landings were exposed, NASA carried out secret missions as damage control. The reason the ISS took so long to build is that most of the Shuttle flights were used to build a miniature model of the Moon in low Earth orbit, complete with miniature LMs and footprints etc. A couple of Shuttle crews wouldn't play ball and had to be assassinated.

[joke alert! joke alert!]

Of course, we'll now see how quickly this is adopted as fact by the reality-challenged wwwackos.

“As if speaking the truth were something forbidden to say to a liberal (reminded me of how vampires react to being shown a cross). “

Now to really freak him out; ask this. Are the inner cities better places now after spending billions of dollars over 4 decades?
Did it LBJ's plan work?

A little off-list, but bound to be interesting, and worthwhile sidebar, because seeing small stuff from far away pertains to the exoplanet search.

We really truly have someone here who believes the moon landings were faked?
Please say you are joking.
Sigh...
Occasionally I think people sign up here to post things for the purpose of making conservatives look bad.

Interesting innit? I saw this, thought to ping it to you, got distracted, the rest is history.

[Explorer89]

The name of this photography mission is the Lunar Reconnaissance Mission (LRO), and its purpose was to create a detailed map of the moon for the then-soon-to-be return to the moon. Then this Administration cancelled Exploration. So we get the pictures, but not the people :(

100,000’s of contractors.

Ooops..... I missed a couple of zeros.

Emphasizes my point even better. Thanks.

[giggles] I love you, Joe.

Great pix and thread, Civ. Thanks for the link.

Thirty billion a year for 40 years is $1.2 trillion.

—Your debunking ignores the simple fact that nowhere NEAR the amount of walking around necessary to cover up those rover tracks happened in the area in the foreground in the 24 hours between the photos.—

I apologize. I thought you were being sarcastic. I was just having fun with someone I thought was doing what I was doing. I did not know you were serious.

I don’t argue this one, or the 9/11 thing with conspiracy theorists. I’ve seen those artifacts on the moon and touched them. It was a tourist stopover on my way to Earth. It is a fascinating relic from a very, VERY brief moment in your planet’s history.

And I’m not going to share with you how so many of us can visit there and leave no sign of our presence. You folks will figure it out on your own in about 15 years.

[colorado tanker]

I've never revealed this before. But I have the photo that proves the moon landings were faked.

Notice the absence of stars and the shadows going in different directions? NASA was clever, but I've got the proof.
