not through a telescope the optics won't allow it.

well you learn something about resolution of telescopes everyday

still a bit miffed hubble aint the all seing eye though...they spent a shed load on it and its erm not so good afterall

wonder if the lunar rover needed to be insured

hubble is not all that good !!!!
Are you sure you have learnt something about resolution?

I think the moon is too bright for huble to look at - would overload its sensors.

What's to go back for?

Uranium?

Alien relics?

Pride?

yeah something to do with resolving objects at so many arcseconds per whatever meaning a mirror so big....it needeed to be bigger to see things on the moon

it was a tongue in cheek remark hubble not being so good it sends lovely pictures from the far reaches

imo I don't think they have been, radiation to great out side the Van Allen belt for the astronauts to survive.

really? How much radiation is that then?

Really? I'd have thought that seeing as the radiation levels inside the Van Allen belt are higher than elsewhere on the trip to the moon that that would be the problem. Well you learn something new every day, low radiation levels are worse than high levels.

Yep my error inner belt is worse but even Nasa will admit it often turns electronic instruments to safe mode while passing through and the shuttle normally orbits about 200 miles where it is relatively safe.

It's too crowded up there for any more landings 8)

Time is a huge factor in how dangerous radiation is as it is a major factor in determining the actual dose.

Seriously the first result when I googled "apollo van allen" was [url= http://www.clavius.org/envrad.html ]this[/url] which explains things far more eloquently than I can, but to summerise your arguments about the radiation levels in the Van Allen belt do nothing to disprove that the apollo missions went to the moon.

Edit: I've had way too much beer/wine to be posting coherently so apologies if I come across as a bit rude.

If you're really interested in the "impossibly deadly" Van Allen Belt then read:
http://www.clavius.org/envrad.html

Oh and bear in mind that the space shuttle regularly goes through it.

I believe that some muppet left the studio door open, and they couldn't be bothered to do any more retakes.
So they decided to leave it, hoping that no one would notice.

But yeah, well spotted.

Who you calling [i]surley[/i] btw ?

😕
