For the Apollo hoax believers still out there ...

[StarLost]

Go check out the images released on the LRO site of five of the six Apollo landing sites.  Yep, there they are, the LM
descent stages, sitting there casting wonderfully long shadows.  Let 'em try to explain away those ...

Fake of course. The Gimp is such a wonderful thing

At least Apollo 11 is not hoax... Which landing is missing?

[StarLost]

Ah, youngling, none of the landings was hoaxed, and just a small bit of knowledge will defuse all of the spurious arguments
that have been presented.

Apollo 12 is the one that has not been shown yet.  Bear in mind that these intermediate images were obtained for the 40th
anniversary celebrations.  LRO has not yet reached its operational orbit. Maybe, just maybe, we just might "hey, can you see
the flag with that thing?"

Yeah, or just about any other image manipulation program.  However, I challenge you to find any previously released lunar
image of those landing sites that shows all of the craters shown, as clearly and with the sun at the identical angle of these
shots.

But let's not be too harsh towards the landing nay-sayers.  At least they haven't turned "Heavens Gate" on us yet ... more's
the pity!

I still think that the apollo hoax is nothing more than a stunt so people will go awe by it. its disgusting

The obvious question is "Why?".  The easy answer is the Western world's massive mistrust anything with the
government's finger in it.  Just look at how small the turnout of legitimate voters is in most western countries (and so
much for democracy).

The second answer is "follow the money".  

The third answer ... hmmm, just drink this cup of grape koolaid, and become #915 ...
