Wow, what was that all about? Are they saying that digital noise in the image is 'proof' that the Chinese didn't go to the moon, or 'proof' that there is some kind of evidence of E.T. life on the moon?

If it's the second one, where is the monolith?

Seriously, it's amazing how people don't understand how cameras work, yet they are "professionals" on the subject. They are completely flummoxed by our moon pictures, for example, but it doesn't slow them down when they show you "photographic proof" that we didn't go to the moon.
