New Moon photos , do they really show the Apollo landing gear ?

[hartiberlin]

Well, the popularity of a youtube video does not count.

Maybe its title is not so excat, so not too many people find it ,
so its view numbers are low..

But there are still many open questions, that the moon
landing supporters can not answer and the recent official Netherland´s museum
fake of moon stone and the lost original moon tapes, etc...
make me go hmmmm...

I will wait, until they will present undoubtly high res pictures
or movies from
the Apollo landing areas, which will not be possible to be faked...

The question is, could they also fake these photos or videos in
the future and how could this be checked for the truth ?

Maybe we should all email Dr. West at ESO
to finally take the pictures we are all waiting for ?

I quote from:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_landing_conspiracy_theories

"The Daily Telegraph (London) published a story in 2002 saying that European astronomers at the Very Large Telescope would use it to view the remains of the Apollo lunar landers. According to the article, Dr Richard West said that his team would take "a high-resolution image of one of the Apollo landing sites". Marcus Allen, a Moon hoax proponent, pointed out in the story that no images of hardware on the Moon would convince him that manned landings had taken place.[49] As the VLT is capable of resolving equivalent to the distance between the headlights of a car as seen from the Moon,[50] it may be able to directly image some features of the Apollo landing site. Such photos, if and when they become available, would be the first non-NASA produced images of the site at that definition."

Well, the email address of Dr. West is:

rwest@eso.org
and his webpage is:

Please send him a message to ask for the pictures...
I will do now too.
Many thanks.

If the moon landing was real historical event?
I doubt it. Real events do not create "hoax" for so many years.

Enjoy the following video clips if you have time.
The speaker said, NASA deleted 40 rolls of pictures during the Apollo mission period.

there was a documentary about a decade ago where the interviewer ask Hollywood productions if they could of faked the moon landing with all the video they had, Hollywood say it would of been impossible in 1969 to build a studio with the type of graphics needed, Hollywood did not have computer graphics that sophisticated or even none at all. at best they said they could of made a good B movie but that was about it.

there is no way NASA had better equipment then Hollywood to make a movie of that magnitude and sophistication.

This is a juicy one: ...seeing as how I constantly hear on the history channel interviewees claiming things like "We had things 50 years ahead of that in the warehouse"...

God knows what they have now..  things 200 years ahead of us? ..are they seing into the future?  Bleh.

Authenticity:  Hasn't anyone wondered why it is that these devices we send out aren't actively controlled? ..again, why is it that the thing's imaging has to be automated?

Sorry if already mentioned... If you suspect a photo has been modified, used "exif" and it will tell you.. Exif says all photos have been modified by Photoshop (understandable since arrows etc have been added) BUT.  . Would be great if the original thumbnails where still there :-) ,but it is easy to remove them ,and obviously they have been removed/overwritten from these photos, as the Embedded thumbnail images are the same as the modified ones..photoshop does not overwrite the Embedded thumbnail image ,when you modify an image with it. This is how scambaiters catch out Nigerian Scammers when they send us Photos, we look at the Embedded thumbnail image to see what the photo looked like before it was changed. (the embedded thumbnail image is generated by the camera that took the photo originally along with a lot of the other data you see when you use exif such as f stops etc)
Below is part of the report from the exif plugin for firefox

Exif IFD0

    * Picture Orientation = normal (1)
    * X-Resolution = 72/1 ===> 72
    * Y-Resolution = 72/1 ===> 72
    * X/Y-Resolution Unit = inch (2)
    * Software / Firmware Version = Adobe Photoshop CS Windows
    * Last Modified Date/Time = 2009:07:17 14:11:59

All good sceptics should have an exif viewer installed in their browser:-)
