Not sure if you have seen this site, it has some decent pictures of the different moon artifacts left by us. Sorry, I didn't read all 25 pages, but here is this if you want to check out the pics:

Do your legs get longer as gravity decreases?
The footprints are concentrated force distributed over a very small surface area per step. The tires of the rover are mesh, and much wider than a footprint, thus distributing the weight of the vehicle over more surface area. (not to mention, the weight of the vehicle being spread evenly over all four tires) So the footprints are deeper than the tire prints, ergo, catch more shadows.

The footpaths are darker than the rover tracks...it would take days and weeks of walking along those paths to produce the dark lines in the satellite photo.
I have yet to hear one good footpath explanation. I have posted it several times on this thread and one other...no moon landing believer can provide me with a logical explanation.
Take into consideration the fact that their space suits weighed 200 lbs...

For the astronauts to take 3 ft strides on the moon they would have to have exerted 1/6th their normal leg thrust which I'm sure NASA will claim they did.

The latest from Luna Cognita:
Apollo - Hands
If everything was on the up and up, why tell so many lies about so many things?
How did both astronauts, their suits, the bulky lunar rover, space toilets etc. fit into that tiny little flimsy lunar module?
It looks like a Star Trek episode, the original series not TNG.
Also why is it that the moon seems so tiny from all the pics and videos I've seen?
Why isn't there a great big horizon?
My belief is that the scenes we see are the training grounds in "the us high desert" where the Apollo astronauts trained for their moon missions.

How silly.

You would have to go outside the Milky Way in order to see it.
You can't determine that you are in something by looking from inside of it.
Testing in vacuum chambers; unmanned flights with test equipment on board. Also keep in mind that 8 years passed between the first man in space and the moon landing, so there was time for development, improvement, and safeguards to be developed.

What resources are left over?
How did they return back the first time?
Who sets up "Lift Off" from the Moon?[/url]Due to gravitational and atmospheric differences, far less fuel is required to lift off from the surface of the moon than from the surface of Earth.
[url]How did they test the Materials used for the suits and shuttle if space was at this point, the unknown?
Was it all guess work...That just happened to come to fruition?
Well, we've observed other spiral galaxies than our own, so we've got a basis for conjecture to begin with. Likewise, through observation and calculation we can determine motion of our own galaxy and see that it fits the model of others outside our own.

Yes, I have always had my suspicions on the spiral Galaxy theory.
Not to say it is Not a Spiral Galaxy...But to know that, would as you say, have to be determined from outside.
Its pretty much like "Flat Earth" Theory.
On the other hand if it is Definately a spiral Galaxy, Without a shadow of a doubt, 110%..The only possible way we would know this because either we have been visited and informed of this....Or, we are not originally from here.
