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 moonCrystallas said:The best cameras now have a hard enough time taking a picture of a flag 5 miles away, let alone 240,000 miles away!
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.Crystallas said:The best cameras now have a hard enough time taking a picture of a flag 5 miles away, let alone 240,000 miles away!
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 are talking about in atmosphere.

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?Druidus said:Any landing site?

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.The best cameras now have a hard enough time taking a picture of a flag 5 miles away, let alone 240,000 miles 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.You mean Apollo 11?
