You can't really use that comic strip either. They've put two different rovers on Mars, with the second one involving a heinously complex landing.


Ok, ok, 3, but that first one was just digging a nice hole...

Honestly, the whole fake moon landing argument is so stupid. If the shit was faked, the KGB would have been able to blow it wide open. They were able to infiltrate one of America's most top secret programs in history, with the development of the atomic bomb. Do you really think it would have been tough to embed themselves within something as large as the Apollo missions, or even be able to buy out someone that was within the inner workings? Of course they could have, and they never did. Discussion over.

Don't they have any satellites near or passing the moon.

Couldn't they just snap a few pictures of where the space landing happened and provide irrefutable proof of the landing to disprove all these wild theories.

Even Hubble can't take pictures with high enough resolution to identify the pieces left behind:http://stupendous.rit.edu/richmond/a...ar_lander.html

Otherwise no, we don't have satellites going "near" the moon because it's about 385,000 km away. Most satellites orbit anywhere from 500km to 40,000 km, so they're still extremely far away.

However, mirrors were left on the moon that are used to this day for various science experiments:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_L...ing_experiment

Well, it's kinda like refuting flat earthers. It's been done well enough already that only people working for NASA or hipster-looking doucebags are gonna bother to take it on.

There any way to put a satellite orbiting the moon? That would be fucking cool.
