2. OMG WTF teh fotos will b fake!11!!1!

The giant conspiracy that perpetrated the moon landing HOAX is obviously still in effect! THEY still run the whole puppet show, and will continue to perpetrate their LIES!!11!!

I can't wait for all of the inevitable posts about how the lighting and the shadows are all obviously wrong, etc., etc. :crazy: :tinfoilhat:

7. First they "touch up" the video....

....and then they submit proof in the form of these additional photos.

They must be desperate that the scam is in danger of being exposed.

The LRO also carries the rocket NASA will crash into the moon to analyze the fragments.

6. All Six Sites will become historical landmarks in teh future

I predict protective coverings to keep people from stepping on the footprints at some point in the future.

9. Which will come to naught

as soon as WalMart decides to open a store there.

Then they well bulldoze the site, pave it over and put up a plaque.

Which will be stolen by metal thieves.

11. I still can't believe they lost the original footage. (facepalm)

12. They had no idea it was historic?

I guess?

13. bureaucracy.

NASA erased more than 300,000 tapes in the 80s to re-use them.
Likely most were not important. This one was.

Even movie companies have lost movie masters and allowed them to degrade, burn, or mildew.
Sometimes they can be restored sometimes not and that is in a company for whom the footage is the end product.
