NASA needs to ask Hubble to take a photo of the flag on the moon.

SO WEIRD that climate change/Muslim-loving NASA still has no real photos of earth from space and that there is no photo of the things left on the moon.

Hubble Shoots The Moon

How to See All Six Apollo Moon Landing Sites, by Sky and Telescope

Hubble's 94.5-inch mirror has a resolution of 0.024″ in ultraviolet light, which translates to 141 feet (43 meters) at the Moon's distance. In visible light, it's 0.05″, or closer to 300 feet. Given that the largest piece of equipment left on the Moon after each mission was the 17.9-foot-high by 14-foot-wide Lunar Module, you can see the problem.

Did I say problem? No problem for NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO), which can dip as low as 31 miles (50 km) from the lunar surface, close enough to image each landing site in remarkable detail.

"NASA needs to ask Hubble to take a photo of the flag on the moon."

Apollo Moon flags still standing, images show

I'm sure they could do even better, if they tried. I want to see stars and bars.
