Will the Lunar Recon Orbiter finally put naysayers to rest... ?

A fake satellite whose sole purpose is to authenticate a fake moon landing. lol

So thousands of photographs, testimonies of thousands of people and video of the event as it happened isn't enough to convince these people that the moon landings actually happened, but pictures taken by a spacecraft launched and operated by the same organization that supposedly faked the landing before are going to sway the non-believers? What do you think?

Also, it's not a question of whether it would work, but whether it should be done. Any attempt by NASA to address the claims made by the conspiracy theorists would give their theories credibility. NASA has nothing to prove, they already proved it. It's not there problem if some people choose not to believe it. They ignore the conspiracies, and will continue to do so. Wasting hard-to-come-by funding on directing a scientific spacecraft to the right spot to photograph moon landing sites (at a resolution that would make the lander appear as a blurry dot on the landscape no less) is the furthest thing from their minds.

Probably not. After all, there is enough capability existing with image editing software that one could fake a moon landing site on photos of the moon's surface.

The other factor is that you'd have to convince them that the spacecraft was actually launched, actually arrived and actually took photographs. Many of these people have their beliefs so ingrained that it will be very difficult to convince them otherwise.

You'd think so, but I doubt it. Like certain religious beliefs, conspiracy theories are bulletproof against things like logic and hard evidence. In fact conspiracy theorists often just dismiss contrary evidence as just more proof of the conspiracy.

Wow.....looks neat!!! I'm sure they'll come up with other ideas of photo's being faked and stuff. Has nothing to do with it, but my niece is an aeronautical engineer for NASA........

The thickheaded "naysayers" will cry, "photoshop!" so no.
