Why is it we have high resolution images of the earth where we all can see our houses and our cars parked out front. Yet we don't have high resolution images of the moon that allow us to see the vehicles left behind during the moon landings of the late 60s and 70s?

Didn't the Japanese send a probe to the moon a couple of years ago to photograph the moon in high rez? Where are the pics of the moon landings?

Because we don't have a fleet of aircraft routinely flying over the moon at relatively low (<35,000 feet) altitude?

We actually do have pics of the tracks left of the rovers and footprints you nutter freak. :rolleyes:

According to the Big Bang Theory(the show) there's reflectors up there that you can shoot lasers at and receive them back.

was going to post that myself

a guy i worked with last year was skeptical that we landed on the moon, then i showed him those...he complained about the resolution

to be objective, if those pics didn't have any pointers, i doubt many people could make sense of it.

Most people aren't trained to read and interpret satellite imagery so that doesn't mean a whole lot. People that don't believe we landed on the moon are some of the worse kind of ignorant fucks we have on this planet.

google earth? doesn't take a rocket scientist to make sense of it.

We have artificial satellites that orbit the earth. The moon is a LOT further away from the earth than our man-made imagery satellites.

...anyway, we do have high-resolution imagery of the moon.

Actually that's a good point. With Hubble, and other methods of getting images, it's odd that we don't have more imagery of the moon given it's fairly close compared to other stuff we have images of.

I hate to be a conspiracy theorist, but could it be there is stuff on there such as a full blown military base they actually don't want us to know about? Then again there are plenty of amateurs out there with high powered telescopes that would have probably found stuff by now.

Hubble wasn't designed to look at something as close as the moon.
