The Stealth LRV is the unexplainable black blob with the white arrow pointing to it that says "LRV final parking spot" in the Apollo 17 image from LRO (50km, as you pointed out).
choos, you did not attempt to explain the Stealth LRV black blob . All you did do was show us another,
more detailed CGI model.
Keep these facts in mind:
1. NASA/ASU are removing the cross-hairs (reseau pattern marks) from the original Apollo images.
2. Remember, all NASA/ASU images are now under copyright agreements i.e. meaning that any of the lunar images they publish are no longer in the public domain.
3. NASA/ASU added CGI details to the 21km LRO images that give the illusion of NASA's 1969-1972 human activity on the lunar surface.
4. This applies to all Apollo moon landing sites.
Of course both LRO 50km and 21km landing site images were output by NASA/ASU under the special CIA contracts. That's hardly independent verification choos... in fact... it's not scientific at all... it's total propaganda.
In this scenario, you are the hoax believer because you accept any CGI that conforms to your Apollo beliefs.
Scientifically, it amounts to self-verification. Scientifically, it fails to convince. The Apollo site images from NASA/LRO/ASU do not amount to proof of a moon landings. The famous U2 images of Russians building missile sites in Cuba are no different.
NASA remains "safe" for now so long as they have the curiously-long lived LRO space weapons platform orbiting the moon operating in preserve and protect mode.

Oh, and the LRO is not a space weapons platform. In orbit around the moon would be a pretty stupid place to put one.

It is not CGI. If you think it is CGI you will of course be able to provide supporting evidence.
Until you provide evidence, the following are not facts, they are your unsupported opinions
First, evidence that this is happening. Second, so what? The original hard copy photographs exist in abundance.
Seeing as every Apollo photograph is publicly available this hardly matters.

But but but LAZERS! And Mythbusters says you need a really really really powerful lazer to reach the moon, so it HAS to be a weapon! I mean Erhmagerd! LAZERS!

You forgot that every Apollo photograph was "cleansed" by the CIA and NPIC. Don't forget those details.
Not really interested in your CIA/Arizona State CGI.

Granted, I was unaware of the thread or that process.
However a point I made still stands: every Apollo photograph I have seen on the Apollo Image Atlas and the Apollo Lunar Surface Journal show the Reseau marks.

This is a disclosure thread and what have we seen from NASA in terms of images:
Firstly, Of course you must also realize that NASA could simply pull the plug on the Apollo Image Atlas server and the Apollo Lunar surface Journal servers... and then what happens to your defense of Apollo?
The second thing that NASA could do would be to open up a "new" ALSJ and a "new" Apollo Image Atlas with all of the "newly" formatted images.... edited by CIA/ASU.... with no cross-hairs on any images.... and you would be stuck with the "high resolution, copyrighted, CGI, with black reseau marks replaced by photoshopping".
OBMonkey, This is an extremely dangerous activity for NASA to be involved with, at any level. I cannot imagine any argument from your side that could convince me of the need/necessity to photoshop ALL APOLLO IMAGES TAKING OUT THE CROSS HAIRS. There simply is no acceptable line of reasoning that could support it, except for national security.
Does anyone here believe that the Apollo images rise to the level of national security?
If you support this, you may also support photoshopping other famous historical images. I'm not talking about simply color correction or cropping... I truly believe that removing and replacing digital image information from already scanned historical negatives is ethically wrong!
Up to now, Apollo images have been published in books and magazines, etc, with the cross hairs intact. The cross hairs are an historical fact (according to NASA). There are only a small handful of iconic images which are reproduced over and over again, while, thousands of lesser iconic images have never been printed in books or magazines.
Also, you must know that the Apollo Hasselblad cameras were "dumped on the lunar surface" because they weighed too much... but the real reason they were "dumped" is because each Hasselblad camera was equipped with the original glass plates with the original reseau pattern marks!
From what I recall, there was only 1 Hasselblad that was returned from the "moon". It was Jim Irwin's camera from Apollo 15. He complained that the camera wasn't working... according to the transcripts (as I recall) Irwin was having camera problems right around the time he and Dave Scott were at "Dune Crater." They brought it back. It was disassembled for analysis.... And there is not a single Apollo defender on ATS who can account for the present location of Irwin's Camera....
Irwin's camera was probably dumped off into the ocean years ago, along with the 700+ boxes of Apollo telemetry tapes.
The facts are weighing in the favor of a cover up with the Apollo images, in my opinion, there must be a fatal flaw in the Apollo official narratives for NASA images which, on the basis of national security, allows CIA/NASA to physically control the negatives for so long. And now they are editing out those fatal flaws in the deal between CIA/NASA and CIA/ASU.
The original, unprocessed raw scans are also provided on this website in full-resolution 16-bit TIFF format
Digital scans of Apollo flight film images (Metric, Panoramic, ALSCC, 70mm Hasselblad, 35mm Nikon and Stellar) in their raw (unprocessed) form are in the public domain and as such are covered by NASA usage policy for still image and computer files (see URL: www.nasa.gov...). Raw scans should be credited using the line "NASA/JSC/Arizona State University" or "NASA/JSC/ASU".

Yeah, but what happens when the simulator becomes the event? Like in the case of the moon landing.

While the image processing steps undertaken as part of this effort may have removed some of these blemish features, users should be aware that blemish features exist in many of the images.
Second, the background is removed from all of the scans, by assuming that the average DN values of the unexposed regions at the edge of each raw scanned image represent the background (i.e., film base and fog).

The single sentence proves that the NASA/ASU effort on Apollo images is a total fraud and cover up.
The scans of the Apollo flight films are processed using a standard set of procedures. First, the unexposed portions of the film along the edges of a scanned frame are cropped, and the frame is straightened. Second, the background is removed from all of the scans, by assuming that the average DN values of the unexposed regions at the edge of each raw scanned image represent the background
Do you ever get tired of being wrong?

But yeah, aside from those hundred million or so copies of pictures with crosshairs in various forms, there would literally be no place you could find them if NASA removed them from their website.
Or, you know, making them look nice. Just throwing that one out there. Personally, I don't want the crosshairs in my desktop background, but maybe that's just because I'm a Lizard Person who works for the CIA.
It's not like these images are science images. No one does any scientific analysis from these pictures, because that's not what they are intended for.
