They left one up there?

Science Packages Recovered - 9/10

Mission Status: Incomplete

if I remember correctly, the one they left behind is a mirror device for people on earth to shoot a laser at it to measure distance between earth and moon.

Couldn't they argue that it was put there by probes or unmanned 'science packages'? Of course I don't believe that, but they will have an answer for everything. :P

Actually, the Sovets did send unmanned probes to the moon that placed laser reflectors there.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_Laser_Ranging_experiment

The unmanned Soviet Lunokhod 1 and Lunokhod 2 rovers carried smaller arrays. Reflected signals were initially received from Lunokhod 1, but no return signals were detected after 1971 until a team from University of California rediscovered the array in April 2010 using images from NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. Lunokhod 2's array continues to return signals to Earth. The Lunokhod arrays suffer from decreased performance in direct sunlight, a factor which was considered in the reflectors placed during the Apollo missions.

Yep. They'll always have an answer for everything. For all the questioning the conspiracy theorists do, they're very quick to believe anything that fits the hoax, no matter how outlandish.

Pictures from Moon probe show landing equipment

i for one am SHOCKED :)

That doesn't prove we went to the moon when we first claimed to have done so. Those tracks could have been from a later mission. We still could have faked the first moon landing, and then went there for real on subsequent missions.

Why are there no tire tracks leading to the LRV? There are tracks elsewhere but not near the buggy, so how did it get there?

Sweet jumps off crater rims, bah.
 
Is this really the first time we've been able to get such pictures? It seems like we should've been able to see this stuff before now.

Either way, surely no one actually really believes the moon landing was faked do they? DO THEY?!

That would be weird though because the equipment from the later missions looks exactly like the one from the first landing.

It's like if in the year 2200 the spaceships would actually look like the ones from Star Trek

Shit, they must have faked something right! Hell, maybe I'll fake this post right now just so we get in some good fakery. It's not even me that's typing anymore!

I just faked that.

First opportunity we had was in 2009 with the LRO. Up until then, we hadn't sent anything capable of imaging the landing sites at that resolution. This is mostly for two reasons:

  1. Visual imaging isn't generally very interesting to scientists.
  2. We haven't sent a lot to the Moon after 1969 (see here). Main reason for that is that we feel that we have been places to spend our science money.

So they had the equipment but money/time constraints still could have caused them to want to fake it the first time.

Just because a girl is having a real orgasm after you've learned her turn-ons doesn't mean that her first orgasm with you was real.

I could show you the images of the Apollo 11 landing site and you'd still call it a fake. Move on.

You know a thought I've had recently is. When are we going to get proper footage of the moon? I mean clear, color, HD footage from the surface? I mean I know lack of Space budget and all, but I just can't help but wonder how they can't scrounge enough for just one little recon mission and actually update the old B&W footage that's still associated with the moon landing. We really need something new for the 21st Century.

Only if it's 3D.

Faking it would have been harder than actually performing the mission.

We're sending something this Thursday:

NASA To Launch Two 'Grail' Moon Probes To Measure Gravity

Four decades after landing men on the moon, NASA is returning to Earth's orbiting companion, this time with a set of robotic twins that will measure lunar gravity while chasing one another in circles.

By creating the most precise lunar gravity map ever, scientists hope to figure out what's beneath the lunar surface, all the way to the core. The orbiting probes also will help pinpoint the best landing sites for future explorers, whether human or mechanical.

Near-identical twins Grail-A and Grail-B – short for Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory – are due to blast off Thursday aboard an unmanned rocket.

I can clearly see tracks that end with the LRV's location.

There is a very clear set of tracks leading from the lander to the LRV. Look again - they're a straight diagonal line (think top left to bottom right, that sort of angle).
 
So why haven't we been back there in 40 years? I know there isn't much there, but fuck, it would still be cool to go back do more studies with modern equipment..live HD feeds...

Our space program sucks these days.

I wish I had cable so I could watch that history channel aliens guy thats always posted

Is he on hulu anywhere or maybe some lenghty youtube clips?

It's on Netflix streaming. It's called Ancient Aliens. Definitely worth watching.

I'm convinced that show is part of a coverup for the real ancient aliens. By making everything common place in ancient times so ludicrous (like the pyramids being nuclear reactors), it's obscuring the actual clues that might indicate ancient aliens (which is pretty much nil, mostly from legends)

Where is the American flag?

Far away from the lander.

Despite all the preparations that went into the landing, one thing that was never considered for Apollo 11 was how planing a flag a few feet from a rocket was a bad idea, and as a result the Apollo 11 flag was blown over when the LEM took off.
 
Russia never dared to reveal the truth of the faked American landings because we threatened them with Nuclear Annihilation. Makes sense.

WE HAVE TO GO BACK!

I heard that every time they lifted off from the moon, the force of takeoff knocked the American flag down and they had to prop it back up the next time they came back.

on apollo 11 i think that happened, they soon learned to place the flag farther away. Also, they landed at different spots on the moon each mission.
