Moon vs Area 51

[ViperXX]

When I search Google Maps for area 51 I find it and am able to zoom in on a van in the parking lot. I can clearly make out that it's a van.

But when I Google 'high rez images of the moon landing sites' I can't zoom in as close and I can't make out very much detail.

Something seems fishy.

Satellites in low earth orbit are only about 100 miles above the surface of the planet. The moon is almost 239,000 miles away from Earth.

All the high powered telescopes are aimed into apartments.

And, the google images are shot from planes that are much lower than 100 miles up.

Let me guess, next you are going to complain that Google doesn't have street view images for the moon?

Fool, there aren't any streets on the moon.







Just craters.

It's probably just the lunar atmosphere interfering with the image.

Moon was a good movie, one of the best Sci Fi's the last decade (second best to Cloud Atlas IMHO).

The Area 51 movie being released later this year looks terrible. The 2011 movie (51) was terrible.

In fact any tv show or movie even remotely related to area 51 is usually terrible, besides Independance Day and X-Files.

There are satellites around the moon.

That first image is of one of the Apollo landing sites. Can you make anything out?

Ok gonna come clean... you ready for this?

The moon isn't real.

Hey now, a nebula is more tenuous than the Moon's thin atmosphere.

Sci-fi shows:
"The nebula is interfering with sensors."


"Oooh, a nebula! Let's hide there!"



A nebula's interfering with your sensors? My god, those ships would be utterly blind trying to fly through clear skies on Earth.

As far as I can tell there is one US satellite currently orbiting the moon and it has only been in operation a relatively short time.

I'm not sure what you are trying to determine with your questions. Maybe you could just come right out and say it?

it should be obvious:

he wants to see proof men walked on the moon. he is one of those Moon Hoaxers.

:biggrin: I wanted to see if he would actually admit that.

I used to fly Janet out of KLAS to The Nevada Test and Training Range. But any more detals and I'll have to kill you.

We have a base on the dark side of the moon you know. It's called Pink Floyd Test Center.

Interesting, I always figured Google owned and used satellites, so it's actually planes that they use? Or a combination of both I guess? Satellites for the larger low res areas and planes for the detailed smaller high res areas maybe?

Actually Google SHOULD launch some high resolution satellites as they could then task them as needed. Imagine another Boxing Day Tsunami like the one on 2004 and this time Google tasks the birds to image before, during and after the events are calculated to hit. With that kind of data they'd draw more people. If only they could monetize Google Earth...

I knew it. Its Photoshopped!

OP, do you have any idea how many eclipses we've had since 1972? The landing sites have long since been obliterated.
