Hmm, well it takes a bit to get my goat but this topic gets my whole herd!
For starters, everything man-made on the moon is too small to be seen by any telescope whether earth or space-based. Remember we're talking about seeing something a few meters wide at most, from over a quarter of a million km away! We just don't have the technology. Even the Hubble space telescope has nowhere near the resolution capable of detecting the largest thing we left up there.
I have to say that there is absolutely *no* compelling evidence that the moon landings didn't happen. But unfortunately, a certain level of knowledge in multiple disciplines is needed to understand why the conspiracy *evidence* is made up of completely uninformed observations. it's just too hard to understand without that knowledge.
I also feel sorry for the thousands of people that took part in the most monumental human endeavour ever, only to have it's very existence disputed by an equally monumental lack of understanding.
I personally know someone who worked for channel Nine at Honeysuckle creek, who directly took part in the transmission of the landing. Pulling off a hoax that made it look like the transmission was coming from the moon, to the whole world as the world turned would have been as complex an undertaking as actually landing on it.
The Moon Landings are an accepted part of history. The conspiracy theory was a show produced by Fox television. It's important to remember the difference.
