Dave Greer Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Did NASA booboo in saying LUNAR MODULES were left on the moon?Jack In the interests of accuracy. The section you've marked as the "Lunar Module" is called the "ascent stage". The section you've labelled "landing legs" is the "descent stage" (that's the part that is casting the shadow in the LRO pictures). Add the ascent stage and the descent stage together and you get the Lunar Module (or LM). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavin Stone Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 (edited) I just saw the photos! WHAT A JOKE!It is obvious that NASA made an egregious mistake. The show SHADOWS OF ALL THE LUNAR MODULES. This is ridiculous because THE ASTRONAUTS USED THE LUNAR MODULES TO RETURN, otherwise they would still be on the moon! This will not fool anyone except the public. The modules (which they name on all photos) returned to the orbiter, allegedly. Only thing left behind were the skinny base with pipe legs which would cast miniscule shadows. What a gaffe! They faked all previous photos. These seem to be faked also.

Evan Burton Posted July 23, 2009 Author Share Posted July 23, 2009 Gavin, Please remember: no remarks about research abilities. Also, the remarks above I considered to be offensive and have removed them. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Burton Posted July 23, 2009 Author Share Posted July 23, 2009 So, Jack - are you going to admit your error? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Burton Posted August 21, 2009 Author Share Posted August 21, 2009 So, Jack - are you going to admit your error? Nope - I didn't think so. Jack is repulsed by the thought that he is wrong, and therefore avoids ever admitting error. BTW - here is the latest image from the Apollo 14 site. Even better images will become available as the satellite settles into a lower orbit and passes over the Apollo landing sites. You can see the trails left by the astronauts footsteps and the Mobile Equipment Transporter, a 'cart' that was used only on the Apollo 14 mission: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
