    Squod, http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/space/5737854/Russian-spacecraft-landed-on-moon-hours-before-Americans.html

    This recording that was released is from an independent observatory tracking the apollo 11 mission and also the luna 15 probe.

    Now, how do you suppose they could track it?

    Jodrell bank could not track Apollo 11 on the way to or from the moon because they didn't have the pointing data to steer the telescope. You can goolgle the technical stuff or whatever.

    The fact is that NASA didn't seek third party verification.

    Covered this stuff in previous threads on boards. I don't expect you'll change your mind. I won't take up any more of your time.

    Ignoring that they couldn't track to or from the moon, as I can't verify either way right now, how do you explain them receiving the transmission and data FROM the moon.

    So amateurs can track Apollo 17 to the moon but of course a super power like Russia can't.

    Change my mind? Why would I change my mind? All the evidence points in the favour of a lunar landing.

    So for all the people who don't believe the moon landings happened
    What? My IQ dropped just by engaging the possibility. Are there seriously people stupid enough to believe that. I mean do international space agencies spend hundreds of billions annually for the laugh? How's that cellphone working, alright? Made any international calls lately? Welcome to Space! And goodness gracious, its not that far from low earth orbit to the moon.

    Argh.

    Funny. People are always willing to say 'we put a man on the moon' but never willing to say 'we killed 60 million jews'
