PSSST This just in... keep it under your hat...

Their is no Moon... its just a hologram...

There is no Chinese orbiter up there... they bought a picture from NASA and NASA double crossed them to make them lose face. They also faked the recent spacewalk because I know someone who's job it is to monitor launches from China and no rocket was launched that day... as well as the fact that China published the conversation with the astronauts a day BEFORE the launch... then called that a 'technical error'

There is no Japanese orbiter... the HD video is so obviously CGI its a joke. We have spent years looking at rocks and craters from LO images... nothing in the Japanese film matches up or is even recognizable... Just look close and compare... show me Tycho, Copernicus, anything we know by sight...

There was no Apollo landing on the moon... all a hoax.

Langley has shown us the full size models and sound stages, they have shown us the fake craters blasted by the USGS in Arizona for 'practice'

So either the moon is a hologram or someone else owns it and won't let us look

Oh yeah? Prove me wrong then

In the immortal words of Tweety...

The 'Hologram Moon'? Yup I jest...

The rest?

Considering the size and distance of the Earth on the other photos, I think this photo of the Moon was resized, and if that was the case it would explain the blurriness.

50 MILLION bucks for more 'Fuzzy Moon Rocks"

You DID of course spot the base in that image, yes?



I just bought a couple dozen disposable point and shoots... anyone know how we can get them up there? Surely we can't do any worse

Yeah yeah I know... patience... the 'good stuff' is coming...

The base?

Obviously, is the side opposite to the top.

Well maybe when India sends some astronauts they can stop by the German pub on Farside for a cold one...





Prosit!

Hey forget the Moon.
Did any one send back a non obvious fake crescent Earth photo.
Find one folks.
Yes, John Jacob Astor SiFi writer before the turn of the
century wrote about a trip into space.
And said we should look to the Earth to verify the mission is not a fake.
He must have been listening to his pal Tesla too much.
In fact they had a space ship project in Oregon.
Incredibly this 'dirigible' torpedo project may have been shipped to
Germany and made into a special 'zeppelin'.

Oh? Then where the devil is that holographic generator? On Mars? But of course, even mother Earth is a holographic projection and we are but holograms within! Didn't you know?

But one thing I'm sure. MY BEER AIN'T NO HOLOGRAM. IT'S REAL!!

Cheers!

Image from TMC Chandrayaan-1

And this ain't fake!

News Alert

Final maneuver to be carried out at 1900h (IST) today (12 Nov 08). With this, Chandrayaan would be placed in the final planned 100x100 orbit around the Moon.

Cheers!

okay that was a one liner

Breaking News!!

Final circular polar orbit of 100km reached at 1830h IST! At last!

Now to look out for the MIP and some good hi-res Moon pics!



Cheers!

Where the Hi-res TMC is concerned, compare it with the Japanese Satellite Kaguya..

The Terrain Camera (TC) of Kaguya can take three-dimensional (stereo) images of the Moon's globe with a world-leading super high definition of 10 m.

10m super high res? The Chandrayaans TMC has an ultra high res of less than 5m!! Let's hope we get some real good pics!

Tap...

Tap...

Tap...

Waiting for the blurry, less than 5m hi-res images of moon. Surprise us ISRO, without any heavy-weight image processing softwares...

At least Chandrayaan got to its destination without a hitch.

ISRO Press Release

And now the real movie will unfold -- suspense? melodrama? mystery? horror? Take your pick!

Great day for India's ISRO...

Experts said it was a significant feat because India's moonshot was successful in the very first attempt — something that even major space powers like the US and Russia could not achieve. The man who launched the Indian moon mission, Krishnaswamy Kasturirangan, had said, "It's undoubtedly a great moment for India because nearly 50% of the moon missions of other countries have not been successful."

The MIP (Moon Impact probe) will probably be released on November 14th (Childrens' Day).

The MIP will be crash-landed near the rim of the Shackleton crater near the lunar south pole, where ISRO probably plans to land the moon rover in the next mission (Chandrayaan-2).

In fact, this crater region has been identified by NASA as a favourable spot to set up a lunar base in 2020.

Probably because of the 100 sq km 50 foot deep ice lake that is there according to the Pentagon



But those that land the first troops will hold the land

Unless of course, they are already there

Dropping that impacter with the flag kinda reminds me of THIS

That was a great one, Zor! So are we going to have the "cold war one upmanship" all over again, what with Russia involved in the Chandrayaan-2 project, and the Shackleton crater, with all its obvious advantages, being targeted?

Fantastic news!

For India, the images will be like a child opening its eyes for the first time. A special moment indeed.
