So how about a few of us collaborate and try this.
Marvelous Idea Herr Collaborator
I think Herr Borg was up for this too
In that case I suggest we start where this thread began.. Lunar Orbiter images..
I think getting the originals of those would be all we really need to do, as they covered most of the moon with high res photos...
Now if you are serious I can give you the addresses and phone numbers of the departments most likely to be involved...
Before we start however we must be clear on one thing... All through these threads we keep saying "NASA" While they are at the forefront of info
sharing to the public and are the media front, its not NASA that is responsible for everything...
We are talking Defense Contractors, NSA and other assorted "Big Boys" here. It's my belief that we can safely pick on NASA because they know they
are hiding something, so couldn't take it to court to press liable etc. Look how long Hoagland and others publicly and in print say things against
them. But when you start moving up the ladder, make sure you have your safety harness very well secured...
Bear in mine that the company who made the Lunar orbiter imaging system IS a defense contractor... but I am sure LO images should be declassified by
now yes? If not a FOIA form is easy to get (have one right here
)
I wouldn't recomend the "I'm a tax payer where are my pictures.." approach, certainly not at first. Just because your tax dollar paid for it, when
it comes to defense spending... just try and push THAT and see where it gets you...
Lunar Orbiter High Res images were taken for the Department of Defense... same as the Clementine set... (We can try for those next but Ihave already
written to many Navy contacts regarding Clementine images with no luck getting the high res other than what I posted in the Clementine thread
)
Here is a quote from the company that did the LO set...
"On a typical Lunar Orbiter mission, the photographic system provided high-resolution pictures of 4,000 square miles of the Moon's surface with
enough clarity to show objects the size of a card table."
A CARD TABLE!!! Now I posted this twice before... but NOT ONE PERSON followed up on that card table resolution.... THOSE are the images we want... the
ones that are on the floor in Zarniwoops avatar LOL
Now if your ready to make those phone calls or write those letters... [I would suggest one letter with names, not a barrage of random calls and
letters or the doors may slam in our face....
Below is a list of ITT contacts Unlike most of the names I have in my database of contacts, these are posted publicly on the ITT secure website so I
see no problem posting them...
