Maybe because it would be a waste of my time?

"One of the most common questions asked by the public when we’re looking at the moon through a telescope is why we can’t we see the American flags or any other sign of Apollo with the Hubble Space Telescope. It IS the most powerful telescope, right? Here’s the rub. The smallest possible thing Hubble can see on the moon is about 328 feet across or the length of a football field. While impressive feat of resolution, no Apollo spacecraft comes anywhere near that size. Every piece of man-made hardware is below the space telescope’s resolution limit. "

"If you explore the Apollo landing sites with a small telescope, you won’t be able to see any of the objects left behind by the astronauts, as they are all too small to be resolved by even the largest telescopes.

In fact, it's only in the last two years that we’ve been able to photograph the landing sites in detail from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter.

It's not really something that is easily independently verifiable.




If a person is shown to be incompetent in a position of power, especially if that incompetence cost lives of those they are supposed to be serving, they should be removed from office/stripped of power. That's not an over-reaction, it is the appropriate response.

I've... never even considered that before. I always assumed they took the flag back with them. It's an utterly fascinating topic.

Well, Bin Laden had worked with the CIA in the 90s, the Bin Laden family had close ties with the Bushes, and we now (13 years after the fact) are finding out that there was an FBI agent that had infiltrated Al Qaeda and had direct contact with Bin Laden.

Is this a smoking gun? Absolutely not. Does it further reinforce that we're not being told the entire truth? Absolutely.

It's not the least bit curious that the group of middle eastern terrorists was led by a former CIA asset whose family had ties to the US power structure? I know, i know, just a random coincidence with no meaning. Nothing to see here, move along.

Co-inky drink! And incompetence.
...and swamp gas.
