Ow long ago was that, cg and did you see that excellent bbc4 documentary on Sunday about him, his reclusiveness and his (apparent) refusal to do interviews.
Remotely from the Earth to a moon buggy with technology from 1969 and an apparant 6 second delay? I don't buy it.
I thought the Clangers did the filming.

I mean with all these massively powerful telescopes have we EVER seen the actual landing site recently with the aid of these scopes?? afterall stuff was left there, footprints will still remain....I will wait to be proved wrong on this of course!
Not good enough (and neither is the Hubble telescope). Lots of clever maths and reasoning here
Can you see the flag on the Moon with a telescope?
which ends with:
As of today, spotting the Flag on the Moon (from Earth using a telescope) remains impossible. The only method that could be used to (in theory) see something as small as the Flag on the Moon would be to use two optical telescopes set (for example) 1000 miles apart. This would easily provide the required resolution, the huge problem however is combining the images from both telescopes in such a way to realize the resolution. As far as I know right now that technology is not available. Even if the technology was available, the unsteadiness of the Earth's atmosphere would likely render the method useless.
ok then what about that recent Moon Orbit Satellite from the ESA (I think) and any others that have been up there recently, surely now we should demand to see evidence as they can easily pic up the Flag/footprints etc etc

I would love it if it turned out to be made up. That would be f***ing fantastic.
The jeep thingy is my most suspect thing. Its all too James Bond. Why f***ing fire a car 1/4 million miles just to drive round for 100 odd yards or so in a comedy fashion?
This may seem a bizarre question, but how does a space shuttle land BACK on Earth, on return from the Moon/outer space?
Surely it has to come down nose down, or does it land more like a plane?
Slightly on topic, but my favourite NSC post BAR NONE was when the British space rocket built and guided by blokes who looked like they were refugees from Time Team somehow mislaid the spacecraft just before it was scheduled to land on Mars, to general ridicule on here. At which point Marc got all IRATE and posted the legendary angry retort: 'Well why don't YOU try landing a spacecraft on an alien planet then!'
Still makes me chuckle
Then we have the issue of radition,we are ll aware of the ozone layer and the effects of the sun.
