Blast thought this thread had something to do with stockings at first.
Watched a brilliant DVD of the moon landings a little while ago, "In the Shadow of the Moon" , and at the end one of the astronauts, forget his name,referred to the hoax theorys, and said he "does not know one person who can keep a secret, so how could 40,000 people keep quite" (if it was a hoax). Think that sums it up as someone would want to make a quick buck with a newspaper story.
>>>Their is no camera that is currently strong enough either on the earth or in space use that can take a photo in that much detail.<<<
The Japanese have just had a satellite going round the moon which has taken pictures of the landing site's, not good enough resolution, but good enough to show the blast marks from the landers, but most important scanned the moon in 3D and built up the backgrounds identical which appeared in the background of the photo's taken on the moon. This was something Nasa could not have done in the 60's to make the "stage props" at that time. Do a search on the website below

Secondly Nasa only last week with there new satellite, the LRO, going round the moon have photographed the landing sites, not only can the shadows of the landers be seen but also the trails left by the astronauts. But as its NASA then it will be ignored again as a hoax.

>>Great - now, some say that the earth is
ROUND<<
Course the Earths not round, if it was all the water would run out of the ponds and lakes at the edges
