. Ok first off, you could aim hubble at the moon all yearlong and you're never going go get the image you desire. Do a little research into optics. Hubbles mirrors were specifically crafted to see objects that are far away. It's not possible to get high res images of anything in the solar system let alone an object as close as our moon. Furthermore while I agree that high res satellite images of the moon would be lovely, unless every moon landing denier decided to get together with private financing and send their own satellite it isnt going to happen. If someone sends a satellite into earth orbit there are two motives. Spying/military or profit. And honestly it's all about profit in the end because even a military or spy satellite is going to be used to justify further budgetary increases. Furthermore, your comment about Russia or china throwing something in lunar orbit is rather poignant in that Russia would have had a lot to gain by telling the world the US was full of it and never actually went to the moon when they had been trying for longer than us. With the number of listening stations they had to pick up radio signals and the satellites they had in orbit by 1969 they would have been first in line to tell the truth. This leaves us with two possibilities. 1. The US landed on the moon. Or 2. There is a vast global conspiracy to prove that the US landed on the moon first. Which is more likely?

I find the problem with dealing with someone who is so sure that the moon landing was faked, or someone so quick to debunk a moon landing is that even if I were to point Hubble at the moon, zoom in on some of the junk left on the surface by NASA ans show them to someone like yourself, your first response would be "That's been Photoshopped".
I never said I am so sure that the moon landing is a hoax. For the longest time I accepted the moon landing as gospel. But more and more I am becoming skeptical of the official version of events.
The best thing would be for another country such as Russia or China to send the spy satellite. As for Hubble zooming onto the landing sites to produced high resolution images...
I DARE NASA to publish those images!
I'm still waiting...

why dont they send a mars rover to the moon to roam about and look at the apollo landing sites?..can be that hard...
I love how CTs always ask the exact same authorities who they call liars to prove X to them. And then when someone digs up the evidence, the CTs promptly say it's a lie.

Why would they waste money on something like that just to convince a few conspiracy nuts who would no doubt dismiss the results anyway?
Ah, yes, the old "government lies" canard. The NASA evidence has been pored over again and again by the world's scientists for over forty years. If there was anything fishy, other than HB "anomalies" and "not looking right", it would've been discovered by now. And before you start saying that every scientist was in on it--and we're probably talking tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, if not millions--the US government was literally giving moon rocks away. Moon rocks with properties supposedly not found on Earth. If any of the hundred+ countries found anything, they sure kept quiet.

Since when is documentation proof of anything posted by Nasa/Gov or gov...period ? Because Nasa said so ? Nasa means nothing ,photo's cant be trusted as well as anyone for that matter .I could go post an article and put it on a website and you would probably use it for this site ..lol. You seem pretty negative to the people on here discussing topics ...how about keeping an open mind ?? Were here to find out things and not get scolded for a question or answer we have .Lighten up Dj

Point of order; a military/spysat is going to be used for communication or spying. That, in and of itself, is not the same as being used to justify further budget increases.

No it wasn't. It's just that America beat them. Imagine a guy spending years training to win the Olympic 100M dash, and he loses by a long way. He might be so depressed that he stops running entirely. According to insiders, that's pretty much exactly what happened in the USSR.

It's all about money and control of the population. TPTB need to keep us "believing" that government is necessary. That being said, contractors gave kickbacks to the politicians who approved, against public opinion, the go ahead. Rusia put 500 times more man hours into space exploration and they never went to the moon, why? Because it is virtually impossible.
What are those odds, exactly?
The odds of a manned craft making it there and back or not as good as one might think.
Argument to Ignorance.
And how many times did the space agencies around the wordl loose unmanned flights to Mars? Many, maybe too many to count. But how do we know for sure, THAT is the question.
One guy gave up on it when he tried to form a complete theory of how it was faked, and realized it was impossible.

That is all you need, however I doubt that people that believe in this silly moon landing conspiracy theory can ever be convinced, irregardless of what other proofs exist or will come to pass.

It would only cost NASA a few million to send a high resolution spy satellites to orbit the moon and give us stunningly clear images of the Apollo landing sites.
