Very nice indeed!

Not sure what you mean, NASA released the pictures less than three days after they were taken.

They've taken pictures of the landing sites for years with ground based telescopes...
These pictures are only a tad better than that..  Once the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter gets into its proper orbit(a few weeks time),
the resolution will be at 50 meter area compared to 300 (I think) right now..  So, you'll actually
see visible details..  Funny how the moon hoaxers seem to think it's still a conspiracy with all the evidence coming out(which they completely
dismiss out of hand without ever even seeing any of it)..
Flat Earth Society people are of the same thinking..  Go figure..

They might consider once lunar landings boot up again ;)
I still remember when they did it in 1969, as well as radio amateurs talking about it years later. Was truly one of the greatest moments of mankind and a big  :salute

For the conspiracy theory, did anyone watch the move "Caprocorn one".

It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

1. Are you a HAM?  If so, where do you talk?
You can find me on 80 or 160 meters when the band is open..
I used to have a nice Yagi setup I built that could do EmE (Earth moon Earth),
but those days are far in the past..  I have a picture of my antenna array somewhere
around here..  Talked to the guys in the shuttle and ISS  when I was really active..

2. Capricorn One with good ol' O.J.   :lol

3. Moon Conspiracy theorists simply don't want to believe even with overwhelming
evidence thrown at them..  Flat Earth Society people believe we've never actually
been to space and that there's a great glacial barrier at the ends of the Earth which you will
fall off of is you go over.    Their answer to gravity is that the Earth is travel "upward" at
1g.  The completely dismiss any reasoning..  Same goes for the Flat Earth Society people..
Inface, I think one or two famous Moon Conspiracy Theorists are also Flat Earth advocates..
Heh....
