NASA: Attempt to End Conspiracy Lunacy...Lunar Landing Sites to be Photographed
Suck it up, conspiracy theorists, because soon your cuckoo stories about the US simulating the Moon landings will be over forever. NASA has confirmed to Gizmodo that the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter will take photos of all the Apollo landing sites:
Jesus Diaz: Would the LRO return images of the moon landings when it flies over them?
Grey Hautaluoma (NASA Headquarters, Office of Public Affairs): Yes, it will. We don't have a timeline yet for viewing the Apollo sites, but it will be in the near future.
There you have it. Soon we will have photos showing the remains of the Apollo Lunar Modules, also known as LEM (Lunar Excursion Module.) Built by Grumman Aircraft Engineering, the Lunar Module was 20.9-foot tall, with a 14 feet diameter and a landing gear span of 29.75 feet.
However, the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter will only be able to take photos of what is known as the Descent Stage, the bottom part of the LEM that housed the main propulsion system. This part was left on the Moon's surface, while the Ascent Stage launched after each mission to rendezvous with the Command Module orbiting around the Moon.
Other remains left on the Moon include the Lunar Roving Vehicles, used in the Apollo J-class missions: Apollo 15, Apollo 16, and Apollo 17. Since they are 3-meter long, the LRO will be able to distinguish them as well.
Of course, the conspiracy theorist will say it's all Photoshop and 3D now. I wish I can do like Buzz Aldrin and smack each and everyone of them.

It may shut conspiracy theorists up once and for all. However the fact it is only going to photograph certain objects because of remit/orders/ at this moment in time can't be done - is going to leave them the chance to say "Told you so"
If the whole shebang was to be filmed/photographed with no scientific/mechanical restrictions it would perhaps silence the nay sayers. It beggars the question why are they going back now to do this, why was it not done at the time or later with probes which have been sent further afield? Buzz Aldrin wanted to lamp reporters/what/whoever. Was it because they were too close for comfort(A) no landing or was it (B) something related on about something going off round the back of the moon that allegedly Neil Armstrong and someone else had been told not speak about. Neil Armstrong had been told never to give interviews, and he commented recently I believe, that he says were words being twisted or misinterpreted. I will have to check the article if I can find it. People say that Neil Armstrong is naturally a quiet and reserved person anyway. Would this have been reinforced by Nasa telling him to say nothing. It is alleged that he and another astronaut saw something on the dark side of the moon while out of radio contact with Earth. They were then told to keep away from that area. This obviously fuels speculation about something untoward - or could be blown for feed for conspiracy theorists to tug/pull on. Could be baiting them even - who knows!! |
