More white folks on the moon? That’s not going to sit well.
Already confirmed. See photos here.

I’m friends with the 10th man to walk on the moon. Had lunch with him recently. He told me about LF and his eyes and how weird that was.
Yea, we landed on the moon. 100%
NASA anticipated that some time ago and considers the Apollo sites, particularly 11 & 17 as especially important, but the areas are considered essentially off-limits with an emphasis on avoiding overflights and vehicle propellant impingement. I think there is a 2 mile buffer zone, and NASA cites the 1967 international agreements, stating that while outer space is not subject to territorial claims, the US government owns the spacecraft and equipment in perpetuity, in the same way maritime law governs warships. They wish to avoid souvenir seekers and artifact hunters, and also consider the sites ongoing scientific experiments. They are interested in the effects of the extreme lunar environment on the materials. When Apollo 12 landed near Surveyor the descent engine kicked up a lot of lunar dust which is basically a high quality abrasive that sandblasted Surveryor and interfered with their analysis somewhat or somesuch. They want to keep the landing sites as pristine as possible basically. Of course, it would be REALLY cool to have a drone flight in HD floating around the descent stage of the LMs, the lunar rovers, and the crash sites for the rocket stages and probably sites I hadn’t thought about. There are some outstanding HD film uploads from the Apollo program that are available today, and they spectacular. I’ve always liked to explore remote, empty areas, the way sunlight changes the appearance throughout the day in desert areas for example is amazing. Well the moon is no different, to fly through those canyons and rilles and craters and geologic features would be really something. I’ve no doubt it may be come routine for tourists. When Buzz Aldrin said “Magnificent Desolation” he really nailed it.
Here’s NASA’s paper on preservation of Apollo landing sites:

As if they haven’t known the truth for decades...
Yeah, what’s a couple hundred bucks to a big country like them?
I’ve been with groups who have bounced radio waves off of stuff left on the moon.
Unless I was aiming my antenna towards Palo Alto.
Maybe the Russians will find reason to blame Trump for something on —— or not on the moon.
Lets help Jim Rob end this FReepathon!! Just a few $$ will help!
Yeah, they never rehearsed anything just so that they could do it right the first time.
The Apollo craft carried transponders that could be pinged. Those were used because radar couldn’t see that little thing so far away. The transponder details were in the public domain. Even ham radio operators with 2.4 GHz equipment could ping it.
There were idiot reporters back in that time, just as now.
What do shadows across uneven ground do?
You don’t have to fly for that. You just need a good telescope. The legs of the landers are visible if you get above 60 cm in your optics.
NASA (the gubmit) says it’s true, so it must be. /s
“The Soviet Union abandoned its lunar program in the mid-1970s after four experimental moon rockets exploded.”
But where was Ethan Hunt at that time? Hmmmm?
Well NASA has the right equipment. But they aren’t the only ones. You can actually get it all from Edmund Scientific. Last I looked NASA had a webpage that told you what to buy and where to aim your laser and how long it’ll take the laser to bounce back. It’s kind of fun.
“It’s amazing how many people don’t read the article.”
It’s amazing that the media would treat a joking sacrastic statement as if it was a real news story. Big Media is invested in the project to re-start the Cold War.
The engineering documentation defining the technical specifications, design, and materials used could easily prove that there either was or was not a possibility of successful moon landings based upon what we know today. What has happened to this information? If it has mysteriously disappeared, perhaps it’s because current researchers could prove that it couldn’t have done the job.
Last week the Russians congratulated themselves for finally getting divers to 1300’ on the seabed where they planted a flag. Bless their hearts.
Perhaps now they can verify that American commercial divers were welding pipelines together on the seabed at 1200’ back in 1982.
