Re: OT: Hubble rulez !
 

I wonder why can't we focus Hubble on the Apolo 11 landing site and clear all conspiracy theories ? Or is NASA reluctant to do it for some strange reason http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif ?

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Ahh, but what if they did. It doesn't mean the images they would release IS the apollo 11 landing site http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: OT: Hubble rulez !
 

It's possible that it's simply too close.

Re: OT: Hubble rulez !
 

Don't know, but if the moon isn't too close, could they also point the Hubble towards the earth and use it to take high-resolution images of the ground?

The Hubble Telescope has been infinitely useful though. It will be shame to see it go. But in truth if it is more cost effective and efficent to have a ground based telescope then it is the way forward, hopefully it can free up a lot of funds for other projects. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Anyone seen those new photos of Saturn Cassini (sp?) took?

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Higher than what? They already have satellites that can tell what brand of cigarette someone is smoking. Even the civilian access ones will give me a really nice picture of my house and backyard as if someone used a camera hanging 100 feet over my house.

In russia there is a site that will schedule you into their satellites and sell you (couple hundred dollars) a REALLY good picture of anyplace you want.

Re: OT: Hubble rulez !
 

Yeah. I was just wondering what everyone thinks about the whole Cassini probe and what it's discovering. As usual with any Nasa mission it seems to be coming up with more interesting bits and pieces http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Unfortunately, I believe this is impossible. Even with the resolution and magnification that Hubble can offer, the remnants of the Apollo 11 landing craft are simply too small to be distinguished from the lunar surface.
