This is why the US has off limits rules for its Apollo landing sites. They don't want no Japanese Rover strolling by with a 60 megapixel Nikon and sending back shots that bust Neil Armstrong's chops.edit on 4-6-2012 by decisively because: commaedit on 4-6-2012 by decisively because: caps

Yes there are, or perhaps best said, WILL BE. SayonaraJupiter posted a nice references on this. Search through his recent posts and you shall find it. I have to run, but will link it for you later if you cannot find it.
No way they will allow photos up close of these areas by third parties.
Descent stage – 3 meters buffer distance
Lunar rover (LRV) – 1 meter buffer distance
ALSEP experiments – 1 meter buffer distance
Sampling sites – 1 meter buffer distance
All other artifacts (flag, tools, storage bags, etc.) – 1 meter buffer distance
No restrictions on footprints/LRV tracks outside the identified exclusion zones.
The USG continues to maintain ownership of NASA hardware and other property on the surface of the moon, including the Apollo artifacts. These recommendations are not legal requirements; rather they are technical recommendations for consideration by interested entities.
If you are suggesting "Apollo was real" because look at all of this hardware, you would get no argument from me there

I think it probably was faked, and the any equipment there was from a robotic mission. It looks like the moon photos are studio pictures photoshopped onto crappy long distance background shots from a satellite or robotic lander.

I am having trouble understanding your question loveguy. Please help me a bit more if you could.
You seem to be saying something like " I understand the astronauts might have been expected to see the McDonald argon laser when they were on the moon, but that may NOT necessarily have been the case were they standing in the shade ."
Is that it, or something like that ? You may need to kind of spell it out a little for me if you can.
thanks ........
