I wonder if cries of faked images will start before the images are released?

After all, if the moon landings were faked how could there still be things left behind.

Some people have spent a great deal of time and energy trying to prove that the moon landings were fake, now what will they do?

Those pictures are stankonia! We need to send a remote control rover armed with a camera to get some decent images. I mean a rover that can drive right up to the freaking American flag

I do not deny the moon landings but holy crap those pictures look like they were taken with a disposable 2X zoom camera.

They look terrible! I was hoping for some of that NSA/CIA Spy Satellite Camera type pictures.

You know, the kind that can read license plates on Cars and read the inspection stickers from Earth Orbit?

Anyone notice that these images are of similar quality to the proposed moon domes and structures?

Hmmmm....

Well I'll bite. I say they are rocks....

The close up for Apollo 14, what's with the lem shadow. And the footprints seems to have made a major trail for some bouncing men.

Gotta wonder...

I don't understand why our own hubble satellite, or even a high power telescope can't find this equipment. Hi-res photos are extremely possible, even from earth. We can find the best photos of saturns rings from the ground, how come we can't spot any equipment on our own?

Why is it so hard for you to look at this with an open mind?

Having an open mind doesn't mean accusing the science team of forging images (or even being capable of such a crime). It means seeing whether or not the images are 100% consistent with the Apollo-era data. As far as I've had time to look, they are.

If I am able to say that I'm undecided about this, am open to both possibilities and would prefer the truth, could you not for one moment take off your blinkersa and admit it's a possibility that these images are faked.

I cannot see a single shred of evidence here to indicate fakery, nor can I accuse a science team at Arizona State of even being capable of doing so without proof.

If NASA faked the landings (hypothetical situation here) and NASA sends the LRO, then it's possible NASA is misleading this university team too.

How exactly would they do that if ASU is the one handling the data?

I don't want to argue with you, I'm just more open minded to possibilites than you are.

Well considering that I ruled out the possibility of a hoax based on data available prior to LRO, in a way I agree, I just find the possibility you state to be, well, impossible given the evidence.

If you want people to beleive man could muster the technology 40 years ago to land on the moon (that we couldn't do now),

Actually we can do it, we're working on it with a shoestring budget compared to before.

navigate the Van Allen Belt,

Why would that be a problem? Aluminum with q-felt insulation is a good shield against van allen forms of radiation. 7 rems in 24hrs would be received from the belts if all you had was just 3mm of aluminum.

even with the many photograpic anomolys that are available,

There aren't any, just people who don't look at the high resolution original images.

then you really have to open up your mind to the possibilty that it may have been faked.

No, you don't.

Umm, prove it? Hubble could barely make out a football field (if that) on the moon from earth given its optical resolution.

The rings of saturn are gigantic, especially compared to the LM's descent stage.

Honestly, I can choose to believe these images, but the problem is that they don't hold up to the same level of standards that other claims are help up to. I mean, they really *could* be rocks. The footprints are interesting and they tend to sway me a bit.

Disclaimer: I actually do tend to believe we did the moon landings. I also tend to believe some of the footage was probably staged to avoid embarrasement and keep the story consistant. NASA was working with national pride and did want to appear to make mistakes, after all. These images are great, and I do believe we are finally seeing what we wanted all this time to see, but I am just pointing out that they really don't hold up to the same level of standards that we as a community hold everything else up to.
