this is the picture i'm talking about. It looks like a smudge, nothing near a rover. It looks more like a footprint actually than a rover. I dont see how this is any different from the countless threads saying how a smudge looks like a moon base. Looks like nasa just picked a smudge and called it a rover before the internet community could call it a base. Still looks like a smudge.

Put a 5' tall flag in your front yard and then take a picture from 13 miles up.
Tell me how that goes for you.
And no, those are rover tracks.

Read more carefully, in-thread.
The photo that "Lord Jules" posted is not of an Apollo artifact.
Deny Ignorance! (Used to be the ATS motto....wonder where it went??)
Either way, they are lying if the flag cannot be seen on the images!

We are looking down from directly overhead the landing sites. The flags are a piece of cloth, thin fabric. How would it be seen edge-on, from Lunar orbit??
That is beyond silly.....and there is some thought that the flags may have disintegrated by now, in any case. The poles and horizontal supporting rods will still be there, however. Aluminum tubes, nor more than 3/4 inches to one inch in diameter.
Resolution of the LRO Camera is not that good.
I worked for nasa for many years.

because of the flag blowign around and how could they go into space if they never been there before...
The two narrow angle cameras provide extreme closeup images of the lunar surface with a spatial resolution of 0.5 meters (1.6 ft) per pixel over a swath that is 5 kilometers (3.1 mi) wide.
