They had the ability.

The astronauts liked to keep their visors down for protection from UV and other nasty things. Because the Earth was always high in the sky, it was a tricky photo to get, what with the spacesuit and all.
If you check NASA"S abysmal record since all the supposed Apollo success, there is no way you could believe what they profess.
They would have you believe that they sent 18 or more men to orbit the moon, 240,000 miles away and 12 or so landed there and messed around for awhile. All this before they cooked or froze to death.
They were well protected from heat and cold.
This was Outer Space!
Nobody has professed to do that for the last forty years.
They claim to have done this without the loss of a lab rat.
NASA has allowed the incredible loss of at least 14 wonderful, amazing people on shuttles in the atmosphere. Three were lost on the ground during Apollo.
And three more very nearly lost their lives on Apollo 13. The shuttle is far more complex than the Apollo craft. And yes, NASA ain't what it used to be. Nobody says it is.
Need I say more?
Please don't.

I said they stopped going to the MOON because the American public became bored by how routine
they made it look, and started asking why we were still going when we had problems here to deal with.
