But maybe the moon probe could be another part of the conspiracy...not really thgere, just a computer animation....

Good point sweetmiracle, and the europeans are in the conspiracy because of the New World Order.


If I knew then what I know now then I would know more now than I know.

I don't know about women ruling, but I already do the cooking, and I wouldn't mind some kinky sex...

Yeah they even made a big budget movie about the face after it was "exposed", a very bad movie.

Of course they'll doctor the pictures. Do you think they come out all pretty and neat as we see them?

I thought it was a great movie until the last 10 minutes or so.

I got this from the European Space Agencey Web site http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/SMART-1/SEMFQEQ3K3E_0.html

Will SMART-1 be able to see evidence of NASA's Apollo moonlandings?

Despite the fact that SMART-1 will cover virtually the whole Moon with observations by with several instruments, unfortunately we will not be able to image the Apollo landing sites with enough resolution to detect the presence of any remains from the Apollo missions.

A resolution of about 1 metre would be necessary for that. We have a camera with a resolution of 0.005176°, which translates into a resolution of about 90 metres from an altitude of around 1000 kilometres. In order to image the Apollo remains with our camera, we would then need to fly at an altitude of about 11 kilometres. This is due to the fact that the optics of our camera were designed for the specific scientific needs of this mission. We could have easily designed an optical system with a narrower field of view and capable of detecting the Apollo remains, but alas this was not a mission goal.

so the coverup so to speak is already well under way.

I would think that the cameras might pick up the discarded moon rover, if nothing else.

This whole moon hoax conjecture was made up by people with too much time on their hands and too easy access to to prescription hallucinogens.

Has anyone heard anything more on this topic? Will the Smart-1 spacecraft be able to resolve the necessary detail to see any Apollo equipment left on the surface of the moon? I would love to silence the moon hoax wacko's...not that it really would, I guess.

Whether or not No1Important is serious, he/she has provided a wonderful example of how HBers will view any space mission that could provide photo evidence of the presence of Apollo hardware on the Moon.

If a mission yields pictures showing an LM or LRV or suchlike, the pictures were doctored. If a spacecraft images parts of the lunar surface but doesn't have the resolution required to make out Apollo artifacts, because looking for them wasn't its purpose, it's a cover-up.

When people are determinedly unwilling to recognize the sheer massiveness of the evidence on which the historical view of Apollo is based and the way in which it all converges towards that view, there is no single "smoking gun" that will change their minds.
