Very interesting discussion. Concerning the rotation of the moon, I remember as a kid that I could see what appeared to be a 'face' on the moon. "The man in the moon". However, the other day, I was observing the moon with my daughter and noticed that I could not see the 'eyes' and 'mouth' that made up the face any longer. I was just wondering if this was a change in me or perhaps due to a slight change in position of the moon. Also, I have moved from the west to the east coast, so my position has changed as well.
Obvioulsly, this is not important, but was just curious if anyone else had noticed a change.

I love the conspiracy theories about not landing on the moon. We basically made a 100million dollar+ hollywood movie in special effects(maybe more, this type of graphic manipulation and props costed a lot back in 1969.)
But of course the 140 Birds in the sky, and the space stations that are being maintained are all fake too because its impossible to exit the atmosphere(another old consiracy theory.)
Landing on the moon wouldnt be possible of course, because the theorists have been there, so they know first hand.
Also a lot of people believed that it was impossible to leave the Earth since its the only planet with life on it. But Ironically the other 100,000,000,000 planets cant have life or travel among them, thats impossible!
Last but not least I love how some theories point out that the Soviets were faking all of what they accomplished in space before we landed on the moon, while they had as much evidance as US did. So maybe the theory is about everyone faking it, and the whole world was fighting to make fake films seem like they landed so nobody would confuse them to be a weak country. Go Drama Club! I bet we couldnt even make a movie that really seemed like us landing on the moon today with CGI. People can tell for the most part.
I dont care though, Remax has my house up for sale on the moon, aswell as moon.ebay.co.space/ has my golf clubs.

I have heard these rumors for years. I guess it was possible to have staged all of this. I had once watched a documentary on how a certain spot in a desert closely resembled the scene from the moon. Yea, I have my doubts, too. Alot was going on in those years, and this sort of took everyones mind off of it. So, yea, it is a possibility. I don't see how with so little techno back in those years, they could have pulled off such a feat, and then returned safely to earth. It is a thought...

When I was a kid, in Michigan, I coul never see a face. Sometimes the rabbit, but not the face. However, from Texas, the face is clearer than clear. I do think that both latitude and longitude have something to do with it; there may also be something in time of year (relative angles of sun/earth/moon).tkdrocks said:

the best evidence that we landed on the moon is that the Astronaughts left a still functional exparament set up on the surface. 
they left behind a group of precicely set up mirror boxes to bounce lazer beams back to Earth. With that set up we could and still do accurately measure the distance between the Earth and the Moon.
That exparament is still up and running. Thanks to landing on the Moon.

I to am struggling to find pictures from Earth of the lunar landing site. I had originally thought that the site had been on the dark side of the moon but this cannot be correct since in pictures taken on the moon, the Earth is clearly visible so I am at a loss as to why there is not an abundance of pictures of the site from Earth or orbiting satellites.

I don't think any earth or satelite based camera has the resolution needed to actually see an object as small as a flag on the moon... maybe the luner lander wreckage, but if they know fully well that they went there why would they bother taking photos of the wreckage? Any photo from earth or an earth orbiting satelite would be rather inconclusive anyway, cos like I said, the resolution would be so poor that we'd all argue about what was actually being seen in the photo.
I figure the best we can do (if we are skeptical) is hope that the next craft to orbit the moon is equipped to look for such things... not like I think there is really any point in doing so cos I'm not the skeptic.
