Where do you get that?
I gave a link that showed they are tracking objects 20 INCHES in diameter in GSO.
The objects they can't track are extremely small.
Now if you want to show some proof that astronomers can't see a satellite in GSO, go for it

Tracking by Government and being seen by citizens with telescopes are two different things..
IF you assume apollo was a hoax, which is the point of this thread, then you would also assume they would not release that they had tracked the object..
That would be silly...

Thanks mate..I read through that link and it does state there are many LARGE items of debri still not tracked..
And that most are tracked by NORAD, not home telescopes..
I also remember hearing very recently that NASA actually lost that experimental craft for a while..
How does that happen??

Ignoring tracking by Gov sites..
The whole point is that a craft orbiting that high will not neccessarily be seen..
That's all I'm pointing out..
Yes, someone may fluke seeing it but that's not 100% certain..
Do you agree?

I'm sorry if you are unable to understand my post.
Notice how I too can avoid answering your questions.
I understood your post fine..
You just assumed all you quoted was from me when in fact I had quoted someone else..
Your crap about me being Foo though is hard to understand..

Well, good for you, you did understand it -- and then disregarded the questions. Thanks for confirming your obvious intentions. And the comparison with FoosM's tactics is quite fair. Just ask around.
You don't have to rate your level of intellectual involvement in this thread. Others will judge. But not answering questions posed to you will not earn you any respect or consideration.
Essay Question: Name 3 of the most commonly used telescopes in that time frame (60-70), noting the pertinent specifications for each, and describing any significant optical (excluding electronic or motorized additions) differences from their counterparts today.
It would have been quite small at that altitude and not high in the sky
It would be quite small relative to what exactly? Explain. At what altitude (nautical miles) do you guess it should be? How did you arrive at that figure? Show your work.

Nonsense. You made a claim. I challenged you on it. You deflected and ran away.
You gainsay what Tom says, but bring no facts. You're merely contradicting every statement without proving anything. This is a cowardly tactic used by trolls and is so similar to the tactics used by the poster FoosM that I have to think this cannot be a coincidence.
What I am going to do now, is get the attention of an Admin and submit a complaint to get to the bottom of this.

lol, terrific. fire away with the complaints..
BTW, what CLAIM did I make??
I don't recall making ANY claims..
I merely questioned claims others had made..
Ah yes, the "I wuz just askin questions" claim.
You are making the claim that "an object in GSO would be visible if only there for a short time.."
And the answer is yes it would, given the trajectory and time frame of Apollo.

Do you guys not understand english??
It was CLAIMED by others that an object WOULD be seen no matter where it was in orbit..
I questioned that...
That is NOT me making a claim and BTW, I still think you are wrong..
I'll do some research though...
Whenever a good point is made that they have a difficult time to explain away,
they bombard the thread with posts designed to distract poster and enlarge the thread
so that new readers will not get a chance to read the point that was made.
Assuming you're talking about the Apollo 8 reentry photo, please describe what exactly makes it "suspect."
