Modest New Moon Images Leave NASA Elated... really? , page 3

You claim people are calling you 'ignorant? here's why:

...the pictures they show you after having them for months and fixing just the way you like them.

Now....please tell us again when the LCROSS/LRO mission launched from Earth. OK? We're waiting.....

They should be ASHAMED with their recent pathetic images -

YOU should be ashamed at perpetuating, nay, applauding the continuation of this ignorance.

HOW MUCH CLEARER do people have to make it so that you, and Looney, can comprehend??

Do you know anything about photography? Do you understand the concept of focal length? If not, then I suggest there are plenty of places you can research and learn.

I'll try to make this easy....maybe too many people nowadays are so used to "point and shoot" or 'auto focus' cameras that they really, truly can't understand.

Dig out your trusty SLR manual camera...like my Minolta, for instance. Frame your subject, say you take a portrait from six feet away. Adjust focus. NOW, without touching the focus, point the camera at something 600 feet away. Know what you'll see? A lot of blurry image, might be artsy-fartsy, but won't be sharp detail.

Follow on, and imagine your camera focus adjustment is limited, in that it CANNOT focus to infinity, because your desire doesn't include the need for that capability. NOW you can achieve even better close-up results, because your camera is specialized, and will perform better than an 'all-purpose' camera.

Or, just continue to wallow in a pool of muddy insignificance, it's your reputation that's at stake.

A civilian that pays taxes to a company that in all meaning of the words "tax payer funded" are actually working for that very civilian.

NASA have a lot to answer for - Jim Oberg for one

Repeat after me: NASA work for the civilians.

Haha, Jim Oberg? Love his work, but theres nothing between him and NASA that makes me ever question anything. Like I said, NASA has better things to do with thir time, and Jim Oberg is big enough journalist who can write what he wants, when he wants.

He is one of the people responsible for my decision to major in journalism in college.

NASA Mission Statement
To improve life here,
To extend life to there,
To find life beyond.


NASA Vision
To understand and protect our home planet, To explore the Universe and search for life, and To inspire the next generation of explorers... as only NASA can.

Do you see anywhere in their mission statement where it says provide cool screen savers? As far as the camera it is designed to work at a designated altitude just like are spy satellites they don't have the satellite change lenses then you deal with possibility of failure of focusing mechanism. In space exploration the simpler the better. When this hits its proper orbit they will get some amazing pictures. All i see here is a couple of people trying to say there is a conspiracy without even having enough common sense to know how photography works!

If I were a moderator I would've applauded that.

GREAT post. Thank you.

I don't know if lie is the right term and say more like misinterpret data. NASA for now is at the top of space exploration.Every other space agency on the planet likes to disprove NASA latest contender in this fight was India trying to prove NASA was wrong about there climate data.

Trust me if any space agency out there could prove NASA wrong they will. The United states isn't the only country thats taken photos of the moon and soon we wont be the only country thats been to the moon. Contenders currently are china and India and even japan has talked about it , china will go India still iffy. As for your distrust of NASA thats fine but in reality they are not the only source of information merely the only one you seem to know about.
