Chandrayaan images debunk Apollo 15 conspiracy theory

In a considerable downer for space conspiracy theorists, Chandrayaan-1’s terrain-mapper camera has recorded images of the landing site of US spaceship Apollo 15 and tracks of its lunar rovers that were used by astronauts to travel on moon’s surface nearly four decades ago, a scientist said Wednesday. Prakash Chauhan of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) said the images captured by the hyper-spectral camera on board Chandrayaan-1 debunked conspiracy theories that have claimed that the Apollo 15, the fourth US mission to land on the moon was a hoax.

He said that the images sent back by Chandrayan-1 adequately debunked conspiracy theories that the Apollo 15 mission was a hoax.

"Chandrayan's images serve as an independent corroboration that can help dispel doubts about the NASA mission," he contended.

Chauhan, however, admitted that while Chandrayaan's low resolution camera was not equipped to capture images of the footprints left behind by first astronauts on the moon - Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin - a lunar reconnaissance orbiter equipped with a high resolution camera launched by NASA could capture the images in the near future.

It seems the photos in question have yet to be released to the public domain.

Prakash Chauhan should now know that the ISRO is really not a reliable Name all its efforts have been mostly failures or incomplete missions with ended up in technical snags ,the Indians do not have the nature to manage such matters as space flights etc,they need to cope up with so much more problems the country has rather than go in for space flights,as far their brain power goes it is primitive still and as such need to catch up to modern times.so hey everyone knows that.

I love how they are talking about these pictures disproving the conspiracy theory yet they aren't showing the pictures.

Pix or it didn't happen!~

their photo-shoppe team isn't as fast as they'd like them to be.

What about this claim of none other than good ol' defacto leader of space flights nasawww.thaindi... an.com/newsportal/health/nasa-spacecraft-gets-its-first-look-at-apollo-moon-landing-sites_100219556.html

By the way i had a question that if moon landings were fake then why did they fake it for 6 times , why didnt they end it on neil armstrongs prophetic step , and simply said see we went there did that now shut up, rather then taking risk of hoaxing for 6 times.
Glenn Campbell openly speaks about ufos, he is all for disclosure yet he too claims moon landings to be real , i dont know why some people still want to believe 100% positive that it never happened.
Having question in mind is not bad but forming a opinion on listening to one part of the story aint good.
