[/quote] any one good here with angles and mesurements that can do a rough guestimate [/quote] Ah... yeah... about that: [quote:Weasel_Turbine:MV8yMDU3MzA0XzM0NTk0OTk0X0NCNUMwMEZB] if it is only 30 miles away or even 50, then how is it that two people in different places on the Earth can measure its position and using basic geometry get a similar distance to the accepted value? [/quote] Or, if that went over your simple head OP, if it is only 50 miles away, how is it you can go for a 100 mile drive and the moon still appears to be in the same position? If something is 50 miles away in one direction (let's call it north), and you drive 100 miles east, it should now look to be about 112 miles away. But it looks the same. Derp. [/quote]

Without reading a book or being told the great lie. You look outside and can see its only 30 miles above us. Noway we went there period. You want to solve the debt. Crisis? Everyone pay 50 bucks to look through the huble telescope at the stuff we supposed left on moon. Noway would they let us have that access. The gig is pretty big
