Officials are hurriedly looking for ways to save fuel on NASA's $79 million lunar impactor mission after a crisis Saturday caused the spacecraft to burn more than half of its remaining propellant. spaceflightnow.com/lcross/090825fuel/I can imagine their rantings now: Proof the landings were fake! They destroyed the only thing that could prove it was a hoax!

Nah That's the LCROSS Lunar impactor mission. The LRO is still fine.
They launched on the same rocket, but they're not really connected other than that.

I'm rather embarassed by this. That'll teach me not to try and conduct a conversation with Mrs Supermeerkat and simultaneously post on the internet.......

I can imagine their rantings now: Proof the landings were fake! They destroyed the only thing that could prove it was a hoax!If it were the LRO in jeopardy and the hoaxtards made such a quote as proof of a hoax, it would demonstrate the no win situation NASA finds itself in. The HBs have passed off the LRO images as fake already, as that twit Jarrah White claims in his recent rubbish on ZooTube. If the LRO failed, then they would cry foul too. They will cry foul either way, so it's a no win situation. That's the thing with the HBs, they move the goalposts to suit their argument. Anyway, the LRO is fine and well, and producing great images. The recent images showing the trails are fantastic. Our cognitively challenged Aussie has already said he will be revisiting the LRO images soon. Can't wait for another pile of steaming bovine excrement from him... NOT! Shame he won't answer Jay at the IMBd so quickly. Again, another example of the HBs having it their own way. Rant over. Peace and love TK

Shame he won't answer Jay at the IMBd so quickly. Again, another example of the HBs having it their own way.He seems to think he has, or at least that was his story the last time. He declared victory when I answered his questions with questions of my own, whose answers would have been very easy to come by for someone who had the knowledge Jarrah claims. I didn't spoon-feed him answers to which he could have then applied his customary FUD and misdirection without really addressing. And no, he still hasn't answered my questions. Nor are my questions the only ones on the table there. It's even more sad when Jarrah is the one who wanted that debate so badly, and even chose the place. Now he runs back to YouTube, or tries desperately to change the subject away from questions he can't answer.

according to jarrah the only conclusive proof that the landings were real would be if an indepentant party photographed pictures of the landing sites from earth by telescope. when i build a telescope the size of a football field i'll get right on that

Also it is interesting he would not accept pictures taken by 'independent' parties taken in lunar orbit. Nice shifting standards of proof there.

The HBs need to pool their money and superior intellect and build their own moon probe. I figure they can't claim the photographs are fake if they take them themselves. But they would probably photograph the wrong sites and say "See! There is nothing there!".

Well, after all, they wouldn't be able to use any NASA data, right? It's all compromised.

I imagine an undignified squable over whether to image the (non)landing sites or the alien artefacts first...

Thus it keeps his hoax theories alive.

Thus it keeps his hoax theories alive. Could you do it with a group of smaller telescopes acting in concert, a virtual large mirror? I know multiple elements have been used to make mirrors for large telescopes including the James Webb. Just wondering if the principal could be extended because it would totally bankrupt the HB's.

But they would probably photograph the wrong sites and say "See! There is nothing there!". I see several problems here. The pocket money those HB's of "superior intellect" get wouldn't cover the bus trip to the launch site, let alow a rocket and fully capable probe, and if they tried to built a space probe, it'd never function or end up crashing, likely back on Earth. They would then conclude that space travel is entirely impossible due to their failure since if they can't do it, no one else possibly could.

I have no doubt that you are right, PW.
