Hello - to all and to the group I have been having a very interesting email conversation with a gentelman, who truely has given me a lot to think about
This man doesn't know me from adam, and therefore I believe he is telling me what he personally saw - I am not going to say his name or call I don't know if he would want that and out of respect to him I just willnt do that. I did tell him that I still have questions reguarding the moon walk - but that I will accept what he saw as face vaule. And he does seem to have some knowledge on the subject - I google some of what he said and was able to find some of what he told me Do I know for sure that someone walked on the moon? NO I would like to think Nasa and the US didn't perpetrate the biggest hoax in the world. But time will surely tell I still want to see or have present something independant from Nasa - so far still the only source releasing pictures I am openned minded about this - and honestly this is the conspirary thory I "buy" into maybe not for the same reasons as others. I am not really a conspirary person - some times you can really get caught up in the conspiary and miss the forest thou the tree as it were OH BTW Off topic - yes I think the pictures from hubble are real. But we aren't talking about hubble and we are not talking about galaxies here we are talking about something much closer to home. And the only source of information for that right now is Nasa LeRoy, KD8BXP http://www.HamOhio.com Sent on the Now Network� from my Sprint® BlackBerry -----Original Message----- From: "John P.

William: If one is truly skeptical of the truth of NASA's claims to have landed men on the moon and brought them back to earth safely, then it is only natural to claim that nothing that NASA says will be accepted as proof of having accomplished the deed. The only thing that NASA could do to convince a true skeptic is to land that person on the moon and bring them home again. (Wouldn't that be a treat?) On the other hand, we should be clear that NASA is *NOT* claiming that these pictures are "evidence that they really were there". They are (rightly) very proud of the extreme resolution of the pictures coming from the new Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO), and wanted to "show off" how good the pictures are. Of course, they chose to image targets that would pique the interest of as many folks as possible. For that reason, choosing to show photographs of the moon landing sites surely fulfills the criterion of generating lots of interest. You are certainly entitled to your disbelief. But attributing these photos to a claim by NASA as evidence of the moon landings is a little bit too negative for my taste. I think that they are fully aware of the fact that any "proof" they could provide would be discounted by the skeptics because of its source. The web pages I saw never said anything about offering proof of prior successful landings on the moon. They are simply "showing off" their latest interesting photos. By the way, do you also believe that all of the fantastic pictures from the Hubble Space Telescope were created in Photoshop instead of being real images of far away space objects? Oh, sorry, that's a bit off-topic, and only a rhetorical question. No need to reply to that. > I would like to see pictures from another nations satellite, in higher > resolution.

Thank you very much for your efforts in making small linear transponders for satellites. > Maybe in the future there will be a chance to have a moon-ponder :o) Maybe, and maybe not. But if no one ever dreams of it, it will certainly never come to pass. Wanting to take the journey is the very first of many, many steps in the journey, but one that is not optional if the journey is ever going to be undertaken. 73 de WØJT _______________________________________________ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org.
