There is something wrong with US mission to the Moon. The legendary space mission is still shrouded in mystery. Mankind still has a number of reasons to cast doubt on the miracle of inter-planetary flights. Many people still say that US astronauts have never landed on the Moon....
Japan’s Kaguya lunar orbiter took several pictures of the site, where Apollo 15 and Apollo 17 supposedly landed in 1971 and 1972. If the astronauts had ever landed there, they should have left a lot of equipment on the site, including the rovers, on which they traveled on the surface of the Earth’s satellite. The pictures, which the Japanese rover took, showed not even the slightest hint of the US presence on the Moon.

Interesting. One can see many nice lunar features.
I've also noticed one thing: the horizon. It is clearly not flat, you see the curvature of the horizon. By a very rough estimation, I'd say that the horizon is several hundreds of kilometers away, which means that an object of a few meters (like the rover) would barely be a noticeable pixel, even at the closest range, i.e. the bottom of the pictures, not talking of the mere flag...
Nice video, but totally meaningless as to whether it shows or not proofs of previous landings: at that angle and resolution, they would be invisible.
Another "man never made it to the moon" case dismissed.

Well the Soviets managed to do it without people...
From the same Wikipedia entry:
The unmanned Soviet Lunokhod 1 and Lunokhod 2 rovers carried smaller arrays. Reflected signals were initially received from Lunokhod 1, but no return signals have been detected since 1971, at least in part due to some uncertainty in its location on the Moon. Lunokhod 2's array continues to return signals to Earth.
It really seems like we did go to the moon, but there are a lot of important things that NASA and the military simply cannot explain. I would have imagined by now we would have sent a probe to purposely photograph the lunar module's remnants as an experiment of how these objects age over time on the moon and to show our lasting legacy. Yet it seems we want to do anything but that...
