I reckon the link below would have to offer up some pretty damn strong evidence of mankinds trip to the moon and back.

Its not everyday you get the chance to purchase a camera bag covered in moon dust (and I'd be *extremely* interested to hear you explain how you think the bag got from the earth to the moon and back and got moon dust on it without human help).

Those pictures are horrible! Using a telescope in my backyard could give a better picture than that.

One guy said "A white dot with a sqare black shadow, yes that proves everything, too funny."

another guy said "now really, where are those pictures, if they are so good, how come we can t see them. Also I understand why we can t see stars but they have real good pictures of the Earth from satellites near the Moon, but no pictures of the Earth from any landing sites. D ont you think that a pic of a man on the moon with the Earth behind would have made a fanstatic view. I m pretty sure they would have thought about it."

Haha.. the comments crack me up!

Maybe Russia is waiting until the very Americans prove it to be a HOAX in the face of the U.S. Government, for maximum embarrassment!

Whatever. Enjoy being skeptical in your broken USA. It is people like you that turned the USA from what it was in the 60's to what it is now. I hope you are proud of that.

Oh, and by the way, LRO found a long lost soviet rover on the moon - Lunokhod 1 and the russians were able to communicate with it with a laser pulse afterwards. Not bad for "horrible pictures that someone with a backyard telescope could do better than".....

LRO was never actually designed to look for stuff like this, it is really too low resolution, since its main intended purpose was to provided an updated, more detailed moon map than we then possessed so NASA could determine good new lunar landing sites if the return missions to the moon had gone ahead.

About the backyard telescope, it was meant as sarcasm! We just want more! More resolution! More pictures! More videos!



I'm not exactly an "Atheist" when it comes to believing the manned Apollo landings, but shhhhh... I'm a "fake" hoax-ist because I want to put pressure on NASA and the gov't to prove it to us--even to the point of sending a man back to the moon ASAP. If the majority of Americans start to believe that it's a hoax, then there would be a huge uproar with the patriotic republicans pouring $$ into the project to prove that the anti-communist America did not lie. Plus, I have an unmanageable jealousy of the astronauts who did travel to the moon. This intense jealousy just makes me yell "no, it's not fair, so it has to be a HOAX!" I'd die to see the blue ball called EARTH in pitch black space.

Imagine 100 years in the future where a resort is set up on the moon so that billionaires can travel to the moon for like a week or so. If you stay on the side facing the earth, then you'd also see the sun set at the beginning and then rise later, plus the FULL earth when the sun is behind you. Sucks that the moon is tidally locked to the Earth, so the Earth never rises or sets.., but you'd see the monthly phases of Earth (crescent, gibbous, full earth) and the DAILY rotation of Earth too! Plus the Earth would appear to be 13.4 times bigger than the moon!! That is, the diameter of Earth is nearly 4 times of the Moon, but in terms of area, the length is squared. Imagine how beautiful the dynamic, gigantic rotating Earth would be!!

This could probably be done in much less than 100 years by using virtual reality in 3D with powerful computers that would look so real that we could hardly tell the difference anyways. Suck on this, billionaires and astronauts alike!

By the way, why is this picture:

the ONLY good one of full Earth from up-close? With billions of $$ spent on the missions, why couldn't there be more pictures than this? NASA claims to have 5000+ pictures like this, but only one has been released so far.. Hopefully soon in the future, NASA would send something to gather petabytes of data for PUBLIC distribution. Enough with the handful of select few images released from billion dollar missions.

Also, the Apollo 15 launch video on that wikipedia is one of the best I've come across despite the static camera angle.

Personally believe we did go to the moon and just desire to know what the Shard, tower/cube and castle artifacts on the moon are. What bothers me are the low resolution shots and higher resolution shots would offer much more clarity to help eliminate doubt.

Your assertions that the NASA moon missions were nothing but an elaborate hoax are sitting on shakier and shakier ground, BoFox...........

The news will only continue to get worse for you as time goes on.

You'd think the idea of mining objects in space would be more than enough to get greedy Americans moving on this.

Psst.. I'm trying to say that it's a hoax for a reason, to get the US gov't to expedite another manned mission to our Luna! If everybody think that the US being the only country to do that is all a HOAX, then the US might have to try to prove it again.

I just wish NASA would release the rest of 5,000-6,000 pictures per mission, rather than only a select handful. Same goes for the original films that they "allegedly cannot find".
