Paul Allen and the Moon anomalies

How much money would it take to fund a "google earth" like map of the moon. If the moons anomolies are structures then the proof of ET life could be easier to prove then waiting for disclosure. There are billionaires who have donated millions for research of ET life (Paul Allen).

Does anyone here have the faintest idea of what it would cost to independently send a Google Earth quality satelite to the moon.

Google Moon

It would probably cost Billions to make a map of the Moon as detailed as Google Earth, plus the fact not many companies would pay Google to use the Map service, I doubt the project would break even let alone turn a profit.

Would be great to have though, and Google have promised to try and do it within the next few decades (Read 'More about Google Moon' lol).

They can't do that because then we'd see all the earth movers, dump trucks, and roads leading in and around the mining facilities on the Moon. Oh yeah, look at that, it's a giant dome covering a lunar colony. I wonder how many humans are under there?

Would LRO do? It's heading to the moon soon. It can map to 0.5 meter.

LRO would be great in the hands of real civilians...The resolution of the LRO sounds as if it would more then suffice in locating and accuratly identifing anomolies. Imagine what one could find with this under civilian control.

Define "real civilians?"

Do you have ay idea how programs like this are conducted?

The United States Air Force Aeronautical Chart Information Center has maps of the Moon for sale to the public at 1:1,000,000 scale. For qualified and authorized customers its probably 1:10,000.

One source is the Lunar and Planetary Institute:

www.lpi.usra.edu...

But there are other sources also.

Its all digitized so it should be no big deal to make a GoogleMoon type presentation.

One thought

What if the structures on the moon are man made?

As some researchers have proposed that humanity has risen and fallen in science and tech over the years if a previous civilisation managed to get to the moon, could they have built the structures?

Possibly Mars as well, who knows surely its a possibility

Anyway just a thought that surfaces every now and then.

In my opinion there is something on the moon as most images are not very detailed and we have had the tech for better resolution for decades.

Im personally looking forward to pictures from Kaguya . Ofcourse it remains to be seen if it ever reaches the moons orbit and if so if the pictures are going to be released to the public or not. The resolution of the imaging they should be able to get seems good enough to make out anything on the surface. Hopefully they will release pictures as they are coming in but I doubt that will be the case, if they ever make it there in the first place.
