It's blurrier than old MySpace snapshots, but it's there as expected. The Apollo Lunar Modules and the US flag left behind at the Apollo 17 landing site has been caught in a close-up image by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter.
The lander as well as the flag, or rather the remaining flag pole, seen in the image above are exactly where they should be based on this shot by the Ascent Module "right after Apollo 17 lifted off the Moon":
Going a step further, the location can be compared to more recent images of the landing site and everything still jibes up. So, can we now finally quiet down with the moon landing conspiracies and focus on figuring out how to colonize the tubes up there? Pretty please?
One must remember that science is not exactly the prime talent of the loons (Obamaloons and others.....)
Fake. If you look at the talent pool today - you wonder how they were able to get to the moon and back. One answer is Von Bruan and his team of Germans.
The old neighborhood looks the same.
Of course it was Photoshopped. /s
Cool!
I believe the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in Washington DC has a piece from an unmanned lunar lander that spent a few years on the Moon before the Apollo 12 astronauts brought it back.
There also appears to be the wheel tracks of the Lunar Rover in the top picture.

I thought Maxine Waters was going to have the Mars Rover drive over to get some shots of that flag. LOL
"No Senator... our Germans are better than their Germans."
Obviously fake ... it’s a Google Earth shot of inter city of Detroit.
Obviously doctored photos. Where are the shadows?? (sar/)
Oh you beat me to it.
The Russians put our camera made by *our* German scientists and your film made by *your* German scientists into their satellite made by *their* German scientists...:0
You’re thinking of Queen Sheila Jackson Lee.
FAKE! George Bush and Cheney drew these in the White House!/s
Survey says....ICE STATION ZEBRA. Did I get the obscure movie reference of the day correct?
LOL! NASA now is like the U.S. Postal Service - it has been ACORN-ized.
