Fetzer/Burton Moon Landing Debate Finale

[Matthew Lewis]

The link he posted was one of two provided by me. You may not have seen it as I edited my post a couple times as I added links.

Professor Fetzer, first you tell us that someone has "forbidden" the Hubble telescope to be pointed at the moon, and share with us your conclusion that this can only be in order to stop evidence that the moon missions were faked from being revealed. Then someone chimes in with some pertinent facts about the resolution of the Hubble, and you respond by linking to a page with Hubble telescope images of the moon.

Do you see the problem here?

While assuring us, without any substatiating evidence, that the LRO images showing evidence of Apollo artifacts on the moon could all be faked, you lead us to believe that evidence could be got if only they'd turn the Hubble towards the moon. Next post we discover your views on the Hubble are incorrect, and in your next post, you confirm that your views on the Hubble were incorrect.

Why should we take as gospel your conjecture about the likelihood that all the LRO Apollo images are faked - your word against that of the community of scientists responsible for retrieving the LRO images - when in the next breath after pronouncing this slander against these scientists, you prove yourself to be completely out of touch with the facts of the matter, even as you are attempting to guide the view of others following this discussion?

In short: lack credibility much, Professor Fetzer?

That's very interesting. I take it you are not disputing my insinuation that faking a time-sequence study like one he links would be a piece of cake.

At http://www.nasa.gov/vision/universe/sola..._moon.html I find only a more general photo locating what I regard as a fake one. That bothers me.

Tom Lehrer used to sing about the wonderful things they were doing with plastics nowadays. Today its with digital technology. They could have Neil and Buzz sontering about the surface of the Moon if they wanted to. It is my understanding that the Hubble Space Telescope has been forbidden to look at the Moon. If that's true, I can imagine only one reason, which is that it would expose the stunning hoax NASA has perpetrated on the world.

The Hubble telescope is not forbidden to look at the Moon. It has done so in the past. It does not however have the resolution to make out anything smaller than a football field. A telescope on Earth or in orbit would have to have an objective mirror over 100 feet across to make out objects left on the Moon. The Hubble's mirror is just over 2 meters.
The Hubble gets the impressive pictures it gets because the objects it focuses on very large. They are also very faint. The Hubble has the ability, because it is in orbit, to focus on one point far longer than any terrestrial based scope enabling it to see very faint distant galaxies better. It also does not have to deal with light pollution. There are bigger scopes on Earth with better resolution at the distance of the Moon but still none big enough to resolve objects on the Moon.
