this would easily put the conspiracy theories to bed
- infradig 3y agoYes
- hgsgm 3y agoAnd No to the second question.
- mensetmanusman 3y agoYou can see the stuff left behind from earth, especially the retro reflectors.
- Silverback_VII 3y agoThe whole thing is not as clear-cut as you are portraying it here. Furthermore, not even the best-equipped amateur astronomer can verify it. And also: "Therefore either all retroreflectors have degraded such that their return signals fit to the scattered return from the lunar soil or the measurements were indeed taken to the lunar surface only." https://arxiv.org/abs/1805.05863 https://arxiv.org/abs/1805.05863

- st_goliath 3y ago> has any of the recent attempts to the moon given us footage of the lunar lander and other machinery that was left behind from the prior missions? Yes, e.g. LRO launched in 2009 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_Reconnaissance_Orbiter https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_Reconnaissance_Orbiter) > this would easily put the conspiracy theories to bed no, you are dealing with people who nit pick data, rejecting anything that does not support their position as falsified. Attempts at reasoning are in my experience often met with emotion and ad hominem responses (e.g. the classic comparison to species of Ovis). Logic does not apply here.
- freddie_mercury 3y agoThe Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter from 2009 sent back pictures, yes. It clearly didn't put the conspiracy theories to bed.
