Moon hoax spoof

Wait for the right time, when the sun shines on the moon at a certain angle, the shadows of the lander should be visible, no ??

Nice long dark shadows on a light surface

Better be very very long and very very wide shadows. Unfortunately the albedo of the moon is about 0.12 so discerning shadows may be problematic also.

If you have ever tried to take a picture of the moon, you will notice how hard it is to calculate the exposure to pull out even the gross details of big fricking mountains on the moon.

At least that's what they claim.

I've seen the "real" moon landing pictures and video. I don't remember ever seeing giant white arrows and letters there!

[Platapus]

But remember, those pictures were taken from Lunar orbit 40-60 miles or so.

The question I was addressing was whether a telescope from earth could see it.

Just a theory, not a claim
Too bad, I always wondered if I'll be able to see the landers if I meet someone with a powerfull telescope

Nah there is a limit to how big an aperture you can build and then there is that pesky atmosphere messing up things.

If the stars twinkle, so will small features on the moon.

Atmosphere really messes up telescopes.

True, I'm just having fun.

Even if someone were able to build a telescope on Earth capable of resolving the lunar landing sites, people would still claim those images were faked. The only way to prove to some of these people would be to take them to the moon and show them the footprints.

Even then, some of them would claim it was fake.

Those guys are awesome. Have they released a compilation of their stuff on DvD?

Take your pick

Awesome. I don't know about paying in pounds though. I have a few pounds of salt and sugar, I wonder if that will work.

I could fill up a baggie with a few pounds of dirt too.

Seriously though; what's with all the conspiracy talk lately? Has there been an X-Files marathon on or something?

How can the moon landing be true when the moon doesn't exist?
The Russians and the Americans together installed a giant lightbulb in the orbit to illuminate the Earth at night.
All fotos of the "moon" pre 1960 are forged by the CIAKGB, also all drawings and paintings!

thanks, they have a good price for the series, I will certainly order some DVD's of them - together with the rest of Ideal!

I'll just leave this quick link here, this guy has an enitire series of material dealing with crap like the moon hoax, feel free to look at that yourselves.
