    We know there are 'other beings' visiting us. Wouldn't be surprised if something was there on the moon....or any other close planetary body.

This includes the biggest telescopes we have in our observatories.
    Any optical telescope over 400 meters (0.4km) in diameter should have no problem resolving the Apollo landing site from earth.


    The formula for calculating Dawes’ limit is R = 116/D
    • D is the diameter of the telescope aperture in millimeters
    • R is the angular size in arcseconds.
    Philip Kidd has calculated that you’d need a telescope with an aperture of 335 meters in order to resolve a 1-meter object on the Moon’s surface.
    The world’s largest telescope, the European Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT), will have an aperture of just 39 meters when it comes online in 2024.

    And then there’s the problem of looking through the constantly moving atmosphere…

    Really? We "know" that?

    Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.

    Seems like a plausible explanation.....

    You're too kind sir.



    my post #36 seems like a Liberal interpretation.

    0.000075% of PALers participate in straw purchasing (CCFR)

    Moose kill more Canadians than licenced gun owners ( https://justiceforgunowners.ca/moose...ed-gun-owners/ )

    Canada's licenced gun owners commit domestic violence 15 times less than the average Canadian.

    Health care is underfunded by billions.
    Policing is underfunded by billions.
    Liberals got the CBSA to reduce their future budget estimates by billions, so that from time to time the Liberals would announce an additional billion to CBSA to make it look like they were spending more on CBSA when really they're just using the CBSA to make political announcements and get their names in the paper; once again decreasing public safety for their money.
    There's an epidemic of 'known to police' shootings in cities across Canada.
    Federal Government has overspent by so much on ineffective programs that inflation appeared that's so bad that 11% of Canadians are unable to make their obligations, and 54% of Canadians are living paycheque-to-paycheque.

    Liberal conclusion in the face of this evidence?
    We need to spend billions to destroy the legal guns. That's our top priority. Because we care about Canadians.

    Of course there have been visitors from another planet on the moon. The first two were Armstrong and Aldrin.
