Sheila Jackson Lee could have saved them the trouble! All they had to do was steer the Mars rovers around to see the Apollo landing sites, and the American Flag!

Do I need a sarc tag?

facked? Yes, I guess there are some idiots that still say that.

But when I lived in NM I knew one of the last 2 men to actually walk on the moon. He still lives there. Jack Schmidtt.

That mission really took some guts. I am still in awe about the whole Apollo Program.

Maybe I missed something, but, why did they leave the buggy so far from the Lander? Looks like they drove it off a ways and then walked back to the landing site for some reason.

Run it out of juice?

FReeper practice seems to be to not include photographs in posts talking about images or pictures. So, please forgive me for actually including photographs in an article talking about photographs. /s /rant

Photoshop! Everyone knows that NASA faked the moon landings!

The fact that not a single one of the thousands of people who worked in the Apollo program have ever leaked a word about the hoax doesn't seem to deter the conspiracy loons.

I guess they're all sworn to secrecy on pain of death... /sarc

Better view of the LM liftoff. It was away from the debris plume that resulted from the ascent stage breaking away from the lower stage. On 17 it gave the camera operator in Houston a wider angle to pan the camera up and follow the ascent stage almost out of sight.

I’ll believe it when I see the ‘Capricorn One’ photos.

The faking landers aren’t going to be happy about this are they?

“Gee, what are we gonna do now that the last STS mission’s over with?”

“I dunno - maybe I’ll surf the hard-drive and see what I can come up with...”

Sheesh - and we’re paying these folks...

My brother has the same idea about 9/11, I tell him if it was an inside job, wheres the people out of the thousands that would have to have been involved blowing the whistle at? He says, “their families would be killed”. I just laugh.

They probably had more than a 1/100 chance of complete crew loss i.e. more than the space shuttle had. Lucky.

In the end, these became geology expeditions. Interesting at that level, more than the transportation aspect; but still ordinary.

I think the unmanned missions since have been just as spectacular.

It’s absolutely beyond me how anyone could say this was staged. The amount of cover up and sealed lips up to this point would’ve taken a monumental effort on an order never before seen in human history.

As an amateur astronomer, it still kills me when I’ve got my 14” Dob out on a clear autumn evening and some stranger comes and asks, “Can you see the lunar landing site with that thing?”

My bemused response is always to point the thing straight at the full moon and laugh as they squint through the lens.
