Sorry.....your "example" video has been discredited, already....the "voice" of narration told me it was a video done by a "current" ATS member (at time of this post)....and, well.....shall I just say.....that video is full of "CR$%#P".
OK?
It belongs in another thread, where it can be more properly "debated".....
If I can find it, I will find the link....to that "other" thread (unless, someone else can find it before I do?!?)

Personally I have my doubts that we actually went to the moon. What makes me question the validity of Apollo was the radiation problem, i never had to rely on the photographic evidence.
But now if NASA releases these images, considering they are going to be in such high quality they can see the Venus transit across the sun happening on the moon, we should be able to see these landing sites, finally, and in a quality that leaves no one asking questions one way or the other.

I've heard several reasons why it supposedly couldn't do it...
it's too close, the optics are designed to focus on objects further away...
it's to bright, the optics are not designed to focus on anything that bright...
to others... there seems to be no end of reason why hubble couldn't photograph the moon...
now it can???
Conspiracy theorists like to make stuff up.
The actual NASA Hubble telescope web sites says yes it can view the moon, and here's a picture of the moon to prove it can, in 1999....

A quick google search could have told you that.

I don't believe NASA anymore than I do any politician.

Do YOU actually read a post in full before you type your BS
Sparrowstail claimed Hubble could image distant solar systems so that why I asked to see an image because it would have to show a star with planets round itedit on 9-5-2012 by wmd_2008 because: (no reason given)

TextI, too, was thinking I had read that somewhere, that they previously stated that Hubble couldn't be used to view the moon.

The recent Fox TV show, which I saw, is an ingenious and entertaining assemblage of nonsense. The claim that radiation exposure during the Apollo missions would have been fatal to the astronauts is only one example of such nonsense. James A. Van Allen

Good call Piano...I totally forgot about that little tidbit of info that they tried to shove down our throats years ago about Hubble & the moon...I think they said something like, we cannot view the moon with Hubble, it is too bright, and could damage the optics...
So you are calling this thread a hoax too?
