Also note that the probe takes photos and develops the negatives right away.
Why is that? To minimize radiation damage of course! Im curious why they didnt build such a system in the LM. Drop in the magazines, develop the photos and let them be scanned and sent to Earth.

Well NASA's technology has a decent resolution. The LRO images have higher res than the public Lunar Orbiter images.
But no one else's image technology can see the Apollo artifacts. Only NASA can do that.
However, Chandrayaan’s camera could not capture the images of footprint left behind by the first astronaut on moon, Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin, because of its low resolution capability, he said.
Chauhan said that such an image is possible for a Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter armed with high resolution camera launched into space by NASA.

Does India not count all of a sudden?
Post pics of the Apollo artifacts which were taken by the Indian probe. Do so for three of the alleged Apollo landing sites.
I demand it of you.
If you can't, then India must not count. Or something.

No.
It's because the Lunar Orbiters did not return to Earth.
"Drop in the magazines". Brilliant. Another demonstration of a complete lack of understanding or any interest in developing any. For a while there you were at least putting some effort into it.

First, I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth.

Why? It would not have contributed anything toward the goal.

In other words, the Soviets could not track Apollo in space unless Apollo was volunteering the information.
The same goes with Soviet probes.
Correct. And since it transmitted non-stop, the Russians were able to track it all the way to the Moon, as they themselves have claimed.
Kevin Gallegos discusses questions raised by John Saxon on the data of Apollo 11, It appears that the Data itself was closely guarded by NASA agents in the TV room. No one could ask questions as they had to simply do their own job. It appears much was hidden, the TV stream came from a hole in the wall... no one knew really what was going on, as you listen to this very interesting interview...

You forgot this one:
"The astronauts didn't go to the Moon because they didn't say they saw stars on the nightside of the moon."
"The astronauts are liars because they say they saw stars on the nightside of the moon."

New clear evidence from USSR Zond & Luna missions, that Many Stars are visible, In just about all photos from NASA there are no Stars, could it be to hide the constellation ? we think so, even though in some images there maybe 1 or 2 stars, never above 2 or 3 you will see in Nasa images Yet hundreds are found in USSR images.
This conclusively proves that much editing has taken place to provide as much consistency with any NASA image.
As with many Soviet space images, generation loss prevents us from seeing the original quality. Most Lunokhod images are derived from scanning printed images or second-generation film copies. Each stage of photography, printing and scanning introduces noise, nonlinear brighness mapping, and (worst of all) clamping to white or black. The images below only hint at the appearance of the original video signal.

Stars huh? I wonder why some of them are streaked and some aren't.
Maybe because they aren't stars.
Hey look! Stars in the shadow too!

Earth, and the solar corona; lunar-surface temperatures up to 41 hours after sunset;

The CSIRO Radiophysics Division’s Culgoora radioheliograph,
near the town of Narrabri in northern NSW,
was used to observe the Sun and warn NASA of impending
solar flares. Because the astronauts would be outside
the protection of the Earth’s radiation belts, a sudden eruption
of a solar flare could expose the astronauts to lethal
doses of radiation. The radioheliograph would give them
sufficient warning to abandon the EVA and return to the
relative safety of the LM.

Here you go. Apollo 16. Far Ultraviolet Camera/Spectrograph.

You see, with the Sun or the lunar surface in the picture, it messes up the exposure. The camera was set up in the shade of the LM.
