If NASA invented and patented all the stuff you claim----every American would be getting a 4 percent royalty check for investing in that research.

Well sorry about the royality checks, but the wireless technology you use today for computers, was developed during Apollo. They had transmitters that used frequencies in the 9GHZ range for radar. A good amount of all technology you touch everyday is from Apollo research and developement.
SO much technology we take for granted daily, comes from Apollo.
NASA credited with highest grossing film of the 20th century
Houston, Texas - Sorry James Cameron, but the figures are now all in for determining who had the highest grossing film of the 20th century, and it was not "Titanic".
While "Titanic" with Leonardo DiCaprio did bring in $1.8 billion, it was "Moon Landing" with Neil Armstrong that actually won hands down, with a return revenue of at least 7 times that amount each year!
That's right, the relatively low budget sci-fi film about an American moon landing has brought in about $15 billion dollars a year since 1970, or about $585 billion total since it's release in July of 1969.
The movie commanded an enormous share of the world market, in fact more people saw it on it's opening day than any other movie before or since. And the repeat watchings have held the world's attention for decades.
While the movie is rather dated, and the special effects very poor, the movie resonated with people in a way few movies ever have. "It was a movie with a message of hope", said the NASA administrator in charge of the ambitious project back in 1969. "It let people feel that if we really tried, then one day we could make that dream a reality, even if it would take another fifty or sixty years."
Indeed, his prophecy seems eerily accurate, as NASA is now under the impression that if we actually tried, and had a big enough budget, that we could land a man on the moon in about 15 years. Of course, fans of "Moon Landing" will remember that in that fictitious scenario, they were able to do it in less than ten!
"That's the difference between myth and reality.", said the current NASA administrator. "In that movie, they did do it in ten. But for us to actually land on the moon, even with our far more advanced technology, we probably couldn't do it in under 15 years."
Those not alive when the movie came out find it rather silly, but it must be remembered by modern film goers that we didn't know as much about space back then as we do now. The movie doesn't show things like the radiaton of the Van Allen Belt, or how calculations were made without real computers. Were a remake to be done, it would take those things into account.
A remake is unlikely though. Insiders say that next time, NASA would rather it be a documentary, to commemorate a real achievement. It's believed that NASA might have some competition, though. "In the movie", said retired actor Neil Armstrong, "we were in a supposed 'space race' with the Soviets, a nation so backward it couldn't feed it's own people. But in real life, we might have an actual 'space race', with competition like India or China."
What of those who say we actually did land on the moon, and that the government pretended it was a movie for their own purposes? "Kooks.", said Armstrong. "Obviously if we had been there way back then we'd have colonies and mining operations by now. Who would be so stupid as to go, but never go back? It would be like Columbus discovering America then saying, 'no, thanks, not interested'! Those people probably think 'Star Wars' is real, too!"

Lets see some real bs been given here a lot by you and the OP
Google Earth uses sat pics,aicraft pics and now street view so when you see your patio its taken from a plane , when you see your front door its taken from a car! or even a bike know!!
Photographing Apollo sites with a telescope.
Hubble can magnify about 5000x iirc avg distance to moon about 238,800 miles so 238,800/5000 = 47.76 miles so the moon's surface would still look 47.76 miles away the lander is about 15ft across.Telescopes are built first of all to gather as much light as possible not to magnify as much as possible. The smallest object the hubble could resolve on the moon is about 350ft iirc.

Any comments on these as you seemed to ignore them

If my memory serves me correctly those frequencies were used in:
- range
- range to range rate
On one of the systems in the LM. Also this system had a closs relationship to doppler.......

Now please find another thread to voice your "opinions" because you're non arguments are getting tiresome....yawn.
Peace
How do you let the reader understand by sending him away from a TOPIC you started, a venue for voicing opinions?
Isn't that part of the debate to disagree, to share sides and extrapolate information as best as possible for defense of ones opinion?
Now since you don't want to hear tiresome or bothersome [my words] you have nothing less left than to send them else where.
HEY YOU STARTED THIS THREAD!!!!! REMEMBER THAT? I know that comment wasn't directed towards me, yet again I state as I have before IN THIS THREAD, how much of a lynch this really is!
If you can't stand the heat of OPINION in your OWN THREADS, don't create them!!
wether one agrees or not, this is EXACTLY WHAT ATS IS FOR, EVERYONE'S OPINIONS!!!!
For you to DENY one that explicit right here ON ATS is for you to be acting IGNORANT!
You don't want to here what others have to say, then don't login to ATS!
Sorry mods, I have said this about this thread a few times, its lynching party!

The Rendezvous radar used frequencies 9832.8 MHZ (9.8328 GHZ)
The Transponder used frequencies 9792 MHZ (9.792 GHZ)
With doppler citations all around, like I said, doppler effect and these go hand in hand.
and the list I am sure goes on......
The LM guidance computer in the 60's was a 2.048 MHZ machine!
WOW now your telling me that you don't use technology from Apollo everyday, I think you should read alittle bit more about this fine INVENTION!!!!

Thus you admit the possibility of the lunar samples forgery and your evidence is not direct.
If a meteorite has resided on Earth for a long time any fusion crust may have been removed by weathering or wind-ablation.
To use micrometeorites impacts as the authenticity criteria, you need to show that this phenomena is not observed in meteorites found on Earth.
Here is the paper The simulation of lunar micrometeorite impacts by laser pulses, 1973:
www.springerlink.com...
The simulation in the laboratory of hypervelocity micrometeorite impacts is difficult
and expensive. The only method known is to accelerate the micron sized particles by
giving them an electric charge and allowing them to fall through a large electric field.
Even then the velocities achieved are not as high as those that most commonly occur
in meteorite impacts.
This timing and distribution of lunar meteorites is working strongly against Apollo myth.
There are many scientific studies questioning authenticity Apollo samples, for example by comparison Luna probes samples with Apollo. But you choose to ignore them and resort to all scientists confirm primitive lies.
