Lost 1967 Spaceship Found Crashed on Dark Side of Moon?

Wow, that's awesome! I love stuff like this, would be cool if we got a closer look.

now you know where they got the plot for transformers 3.

decepticons shot it down!!!!

it would be nice to know whats really there you would think we would considering all the "high tech" we have now.

You beat me to it.

Never seen that picture before, the thing that struck me was it looks like there is light cloud in that picture.

Is this photo untouched? And are those dots in the background stars?

The dots do not appear to be stars, no; they're present all over the surface itself if you look closely. The process of getting those images back to earth and reconstructed upon arrival is an amazing chain of events involving multiple conversion steps, so it's not surprising that there's noise in the images. They took film pictures, developed them within the spacecraft, scanned them inside the spacecraft, transmitted the analog scans, recorded the transmissions on earth, and rescanned back onto film. It's truly amazing what they had to do in order to make it work prior to digital photography.

NASA intentional crashed the satellite on the far side of the moon, out of the sight of telescopes and radios -- meaning the space agency has no idea what happened to the craft.

Now I wonder why they did that for?

That is what it is

But it looks like there is an ocean and an atmosphere. Something smells a bit fishy.

How is it even possible that NO data of darkside moon shared. SOme have data come on now

some- Russia- China-Americanaz. No govz sent any data gather devices behind the moon to take a peek a boo

Just because you're ignorant of it, doesnt mean it doesnt exist.
here's the Chinese equivalent of google moon from the official website of the Chang'e 2 spacecraft...
月球WebGIS系统

And it should also be mentioned (yet again) that there is no DARK side of the moon apart from the Pink Floyd album.

Exactly!! Would be cool to have the ability to look around on the moons surface like Mars..

I'm guessing that this here is the crash site of lunar orbiter 2:

No doubt there's lots of fishy stuff there in NASA vid's and photos... (Stanley Kuberic).... I just think they may have fakingly got the no stars thing right, at least when you are in direct sunlight. They may have sent an unmanned probe and faked the humans having been there.

Couldn't that be the impact zone of that "mini-nuke" NASA sent to the moon to look or get a sample of water from below the surface. Do you guys remember that mission? There should be a vid somewhere.

Didn't know Lunar Orbiter 2 was lost NASA deliberately crashed them all. Did they forget where they slammed them onto the surface

Lunar Orbiter 1

Successful lunar orbiter (USA)
Launched: August 10, 1966
The spacecraft sent back high-quality images (by television) of over two million square miles of lunar surface, including the first detailed images of potential Apollo landing sites. After circling the Moon 527 times in 77 days, engineers on Earth deliberately crashed the spacecraft onto the Moon's surface, so that it wouldn't interfere with the upcoming manned missions.

Lunar Orbiter 2

Successful lunar orbiter (USA)
Launched: November 6, 1966
Lunar orbit: November 6, 1966
Lunar impact: October 11, 1967
Lunar Orbiter 2 went into lunar orbit and took over 800 pictures during its mission, including an oblique view of the crater Copernicus that was voted one of the best images of the century by the press. The spacecraft was deliberately sent crashing into the lunar surface on October 11, 1967, bringing to an end the successful mission.

Lunar Orbiter 3

Successful lunar orbiter (USA)
Launched: February 4, 1967
Lunar orbit: February 8, 1967
The spacecraft's orbit was altered several times during the mission to give controllers on Earth more experience with communications during lunar orbit. Lunar Orbiter 3 was able to photograph Surveyor 2 on the surface. The mission ended on October 9, 1967, when controllers deliberately crashed the spacecraft into the Moon.

Lunar Orbiter 4

Successful lunar orbiter (USA)
Launched: May 4, 1967
Lunar orbit: May 8, 1967
The spacecraft was the first to take pictures of the Moon's south pole. It took images from orbit for eight months before controllers sent the spacecraft crashing to the lunar surface. Crashing the spacecraft into the Moon kept an area around the Moon clear of debris that might compromise the upcoming manned missions.

Lunar Orbiter 5

Successful lunar orbiter (USA)
Launched: August 1, 1967
Lunar orbit: August 5, 1967
Upon completion of this mission, over 99% of the Moon's surface had been mapped (with data from all previous missions combined). The mission ended when controllers sent the spacecraft crashing to the lunar surface on January 31, 1968.

Darn COSMIC LITTERBUGS... they are a disgrace to mankind I mean all that debris scattered around is going to make it hard for anomaly hunters

There is no dark side of the moon, even the FOX news says far side

As to what it is..

A new picture from the LRO details a strange, butterfly-shaped pattern that indicates a pile of lunar rubble -- but is from it a comet impact or the crash landing of a space probe? Not even scientists studying the image are sure.

Yup that about covers it..

They didn't hit it with a mini-nuke, they hit it with a spent Centaur stage followed closely by a probe. Quite a difference.

Well a mini nuke would have got better results I seem to recall that Carl Sagan was coing to do that, Nuke the Moon to search for organic matter in the plume...

Yeah. all they do is that lame LCROSS stuff with crashing masses into it at high velocity. A Tsar Bomba would be waaaay cooler.
