Re: [Utah-astronomy] Apollo sites pics now up!
Perhaps the saddest thing to me as an educator was the day when a father came in to the school and demanded that his son be removed from science class and be given an alternative assignment because the moon landing was a hoax (we were covering the moon at that time in class). He never met with me to discuss his concerns, he went to the principal who tried to explain that it is important to exposed to all viewpoints and more importantly from all the evidence. The father cut her off pulled out his "binder" and proceeded to try and "inform" her of what the "real" evidence was. In the end his demands were respected being a parent and one of the brightest kids I knew went on believing that 1. The moon landings were faked and 2. Our space program was not real and that the US government continues to fake the space program today. I'm sure he is telling his college son today that these new images are faked, taken from some desert position here on earth . . . On 2009-07-21 05:48, Gary Vardon wrote:

This probably the coolest thing I've seen all year. I am awestruck.

It is sad, I remember one year at RTMC when Harrison Schmidt gave a presentation on his apollo experiences and a attendee accused him of continuing the hoax.
It is up there with holocaust deniers. I doubt pictures of the landing sites will change any minds. Perhaps the saddest thing to me as an educator was the day when a
