How naive to think that something like "evidence" might sway the Hoax Believers. :D

I'm waiting for the claim that the cleaned and enhanced Apollo 11 moonwalk video NASA released is evidence of a hoax

It is! And Adobe After Effects (or whatever they're using - prolly something MUCH more high-end) is IN ON IT!

Pics are here: http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/LRO/multimedia/lroimages/apollosites.html

Note, these will be 2 to 3 times better once LRO gets into its final lower orbit, but cool pics!

Interesting.
In the Apollo 11 pic, the shadow appears to be somewhat disconnected from the object itself. It is certainly wider at the end fartherest away from the LM.
More evidence. Looks GREAT!

Bah! You would think they would use better models for those fakes.

How true. Even if NASA sent them on a neo-Apollo mission to the moon they still would believe it was a hoax...why?....cause the government is behind it.
