Look, In order to confirm all this one way or another why not just ask the Chinese who recently surveyed the whole moon? I had heard a rumour that they had contacted NASA to confirm landing co-ordinates of the Apollo missions because they were having problems locating the landing sites? Or, why not just turn the Hubble at it? :spock: [/quote] Dawes' limit. Look it up. [/quote] Still, doesn't alter the Chinese question! :spock: [/quote] Yes, it does. Angular and spatial resolution limits still apply to probes as well. LRO is the only probe with an optic big enough to resolve the landing site equipment, even from orbit. [/quote] IS there any published images from ANY SATELLITE? :spock: [/quote] http://lmgtfy.com/?q=lro+apollo+landing+sites [/quote] The NASA images aren't very definitive are they? [/quote] Yes, they are. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxJ-Kw573l0[/youtube] They're also consistent with the known specifications of the LRO optics. Thanks. [/quote] Mmm... I believe they left a reflector on the moon for range finding? But! If they can't optically see it, how do they bounce a laser off it? :spock: [/quote] What does that even have to do with anything I said? They know the coordinates of the landing site, and by the time the laser beam reaches the moon it's spread out enough that they are able to hit the retroreflector. [/quote] Sorry let's just get this quite clear! What you're saying is, NASA or whoever it is, just shoots a laser beam in the general direction of the reflector in the vain hope that some, now very diffused light [b]might[/b] just hit it and bounce back in an even more diffused form to be collected and used for accurate measurements? Not very scientific is it? :spock: [/quote]

NASA discovers NEW Van Allen Belt!
So, if we didn't know about this, what else don't we know about?

...and how could we get through it safely on our way to the moon??
