Did man really land on the moon 1969?

The best cameras now have a hard enough time taking a picture of a flag 5 miles away, let alone 240,000 miles away!

I disctinctly remember cameras that read license plates in Moscow from space before we went to the moon

You are talking about in atmosphere. In a vacuum, where there is little to impede the travel of photons, such considerations change considerably. If the operators of a satellite based camera could be persuaded to point it at one of the many landing sites, images could be captured which wouldn't leave any doubts. Unfortunately, the operators of such cameras usually don't subscribe to such doubts in the first place, and so are liable to look on such an exercise as a big waste of time and money.

Any landing site? I was under the impression that it was only the Apollo I mission they had the problem with, saying that the U.S. needed to beat Russia, so they faked it.

You mean Apollo 11? Apollo 11, 12, 14, 15, 16 and 17 all landed on the moon, if I am remembering correctly. If supposedly 11 was faked, what about the rest? If they are real, then isn't all of this drama moot?

Really? Perhaps you need to check up on the recent announcement of the world's first photograph of an out-of-solar-system planet then. And that is mere lightyears away.

Well not if you are a Cold War enthusiast. Not if you care that the first time man went onto the moon WASN'T with Apollo 11. But yes it does take some of the impact out of it all.

the first photo of an extra-solar planet shows a nice fuzzy blob... :D

not a lot of detail... From what I have heard...and I heard it from someone who did it. You can given a powerful enough telescope see the flag on the moon. I personally havent seen it, I don't have a nice telescope.

Anyway here is a list of objects on the moon and where most of them are located... should you have access to a telescope powerful enough to see them

Several years back there was a television that gave many examples of "evidence" that we did not land on the moon. NASA refused to debate their findings. I have never seen that program in re-runs, though you often see re-runs of UFO shows.

Years ago, I use to work at the Kennedy Space Center and was a very strong supporter of the space program. After viewing that program, I have serious doubts that we ever landed a manned space craft on the moon.

Maybe the question should be; If we did not land a man on the moon would you really want to know?

The flag was stamped on a foil-like material so it would stand straight out. The movement was just inertia(an object in motion...)
