There seem to be people who think the Moon landing was a hoax.
I was always taught that the Moon landing in 1969 was fact, so I'll stick with that belief.
To satisfy doubters and believers alike, certainly the technology must exist...a telescope sufficiently powerful to view details on the Moon's surface.
Has anyone used a telescope to see the USA flag on the moon? And other trinkets left up there?
Knowing them liars the moon probably does not exist either !
I think it will be easier to build a telescope that is capable of seeing US flag on the moon, then finding the actual flag. I mean moon is big and flag is relatively small, it's looking for a needle in da hey stash !

Yeah, it's not like the flag is lying flat on the surface all spread out. You might be looking at it edge on.

We do have a pretty good idea of the landing sites - we can bounce lasers off the reflectors they left up there. NASA people are pretty damn smart when it comes to knowing where things are, where they will be, and how to get there.

Actually - Apollo 11's flag was knocked over by the exhaust from the ascent engine. Bad news is, the flags are likely to be white now - UV radiation on the moon's surface is fierce.
Not that it matters. State of the art for Earth-based telescopes are as described in my post above.

Why would anyone who believes NASA lies trust their photoshops anyway ?
Exactly. Just like the flat-earthers don't even consider any photographs of the earth as real. Just like the YECers, why even engage them in the evidence department.

Why do you believe that man didn't really go to the moon? Don't you think that man is capable of doing so? On what do you base that opinion? Can you provide a well thought out reason for your opinion instead of just making a baseless denial? Will you even reply to this post?
