Yes, they can take a picture of my shed in the backyard from outer space because I saw it on google earth. Don't tell me they can't.

"They can't. Unless you have a particularly large shed, it'd be barely 1-2 pixels, which isn't a picture in anyones book. You're confusing aerial photography with satellites"

In fact, spy satellites are so good now, that they have pretty much eliminated the high altitude spy plane programs other than the drones used to tactical purposes.

Speaking as someone who spent the last five years working in the Intel Community I can assure you that high altitude planes have not been phased out. They are still the workhorse of the community.

Wouldn't you punch someone who was accusing you of being a liar, fraud and had been hounding you for weeks to admit that you are a fake?

Ummm so you mean the government is capable of deploying super-high-tech spy satellites but landing on the moon is beyond our national space program? Is the government super-scary or super-incompetent? It can't be both...

Paranoid androids and their conspiracy theories

Yanks landed on the moon. AND they did it with sliderules.

There's a slight difference between the technology in the 1960's and today Einstein. Back then they used duct tape, plastic bags, and cardboard to save the day (apollo 13). They also had less computer power than a calculator does today. Considering how precise everything would have to be for a precise landing without crashing into the moon or tipping over, it's not a given that it was possible back then. I will say this though. If their spool of string that they used for communication was long enough, they may indeed have landed on the moon:)

Apparently you do not remember that the first lunar landing nearly did crash and/or tip over. If it wasn't for a bit of manual override with the joystick, the Eagle would certainly have crashed and not landed.

To the OP. I do not think NASA has or will spend any money taking pics of moon junk to debunk conspiracy theories no one believes. They have their hands and budget full driving around on Mars, launching shuttles and monitoring space probes.

Do I believe that NASA tells the truth about everything . . . NO. My dad used to work there and I saw the inside stories/pics vs the lies in the press releases. However, the moon landing was not a techno-leap beyond our grasp. I think NASA is too busy denying things that really do happen to invent things that didn't.

Regarding satellite resolution, cuck...

Satellites are much closer to your back yard than the moon is, right? Why are you surprised that they couldn't detect the moon objects? At perihelion, the moon is 225,622 miles away. If you have a satellite in geosynchronous orbit, it's only 22,300 miles away. Polar orbits are low altitude (250-500 miles).

And yes, UAVs are still very popular from what I'm reading. I saw something about 5 years ago that said so many UAVs were being used in Iraq that it was a real problem for air traffic control.

I wish you would elaborate as to what they are hiding... would make some interesting reading.... like are they hiding aliens?

When NASA isn't busy shooting off rockets and stuff they are experimenting with new technology. Some of it finds it's way to defense and surviellance, and eventually some gets into consumer products.

They no doubt have developed some weapons technologies of which even I cannot concieve, and I know enough technology that I can almost jokingly say that I could turn a fusion reactor into a plasma cannon with a screwdriver. Almost jokingly, but it would be a one time shot of course because I would be dead.

Who do you think was working on SDI (star wars) technology a decade or two ago ? Of course they didn't throw all that data out in the trash. You used to see ads for products touting "space age" technology, NASA is pretty much where it came from, and it's not all electronics, rockets and computers. New materials and process', all kinds of things. And the secrecy is not always a mtter of national defense, sometimes it is commercial, that we did it first. Those who do things first are the ones who get the noariety, and many times a good piece of the profits.

Suffice it to say that they are not just sitting there scratching their balls.

So like was the atomic bomb built with duct tape and string too?

Anyway, I hope you do realize that it's impossible to reason with you, because you'll always just dismiss anything that anyone might offer as empirical evidence. If Neil Armstrong himself popped into the Collarme forums, you'd say he was in on the hoax!

Over and out on this one.

I love Mythbusters, they have such big explosions.

And the one about landing on the moon was quite sad really, no explosions just science and the destruction of a good conspiracy theory and I just love a good conspiracy theory.

Bad bad Mythbusters.

Well google comes up with 3,950 results in 0.32 seconds.
For you it comes up with 6,910 results in 0.27 seconds.
For me it comes up with 206,000 results in 0.25 seconds.
For Moderatoreleven it comes up with 18,200 results in 0.24 seconds.

Now all we need is someone who really knows their math, but there's the raw data forya.

Then by this benchmark, I'm the one least likely to exist. Per the Google results for me...

"About 1,100 results (0.58 seconds)".
