Why does Nasa refuse to point Hubble at Moon.

I was earlier browsing on the website, WWW. the konformist. com.

they said in one of their links that NASA refuse to point the Hubble space telescope at the Moon.

Is this true? if so then why do they refuse?

Because it's too bright for Hubble's internal components... would cause damange.

Don't forget, it is also like trying to read with binoculars.

Hubble has enough hard time viewing our own planets, let alone something as close to the moon....such incredible focusing power limits its ability to see near objects.

...Sorta like not being able to see the trees because of the forest...

they don't want anyone to find out about the secret bases the us military has there.

Once again, because its too close, and secondly, because we can use other, less powerful telescopes to look at it, instead of wasting the hubbles time, which is supposed to be spent looking at distant galaxies and crap like that

Which by the way, those images are incredible!!!!

Not once does this butter ball think to say that naturally a meteorite impact creates an up lift in the center of the crater...and besides, that phrase...a picture is worth a thousand words...it should be modified to...

THE ORIGINAL PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS!

Because the original picture clearly shows this...and yet he twists and manipulates the pictures into his own fancy.

Another thing, that crater is at least 300 miles wide, making the city VERY BIG!

Woah man...domes can't get that big, too much risk.

You mean to tell me Nasa cant afford filters?

Actually they can't....look at how long it took for them to put the inhancing lenses into the hubble.

Remember...NASA's manned space budget is about 8 billion dollars....each shuttle launch is about a billion and a half, and then there is ground maitenence, that money gets spent fast.

Right now the ISS is the priority

Let me get this straight, FM...You think that he should've said: ...And then shut the #3ll up, right?

Very much agreed...His story could've been much more believable if he'd merely taken a more closeup shot of that part of the moon & not mucked around with the photo. It seems that he hasn't figured out that by monkeying around with Photoshop that much, he simply *makes* his story more unbelievable.

You should really check out the rest of "her" site (Its a young woman who does that) Its really quite entertaining! The funny thing is I am not quite sure if she is serious or not. Check out the robotization and lobotomy jobs that were done to the snipers!

is anyone else seeing those 'images' she claims are in the pictures, or am i the only one who thinks she's slightly crazy?

Slightly? You sir are the master of understatement!
