New high res images of the Apollo landing sites show, the descent stage of the lander, a science instruments package and a footstep trail between them.
or
Dedicated team of nasa photoshop experts fake up moon landing images just in time for 40th anniversary
Take your pick. I know which side I'm one. Fantastic images.

There will alway be people out there who believe that the human race is incapable of doing anything. Aliens build the pyramids? Fiber optics alien technology?? You'll always have stupid people. They even mass together and form there own groups. Fox news network. KKK just to name a few.

I've often wondered if there is relativity between the eleven dimensions in the universe and the eleven secret herbs and spices in Kentucky Fried Chicken.

Either way lots of good came from the moon landing and the space program in general

With some loud music + a friend to chat nearby you can get alot done. - but jezz, I'd avoid it if I had the choice---- If only real people came with Alpha Channels.......:)

Fox News network, eh?
The haters on the right are on the fringe. Whereas, the haters on the left are scattered all across the landscape.

Why are the shadows going the opposite way?

The black bar of the Apollo is NOT a shadow, it's the side of Apollo that's facing away from the sun, and therefore, is not illuminated.

Wrong, we called it "green tape" as I recall and yes, we attached things to the launcher (LUT) with it. I left the Cape before we went to the moon and was only there for the construction of Pad 39 and the LUT as well as the first two launches. I was even in the Mousetrap (a local drinking establishment) when the astronauts were killed in the earlier fire. Darpanet came from a war and computer technology came from the space race.

What about in this image? It looks like a shadow cast by the brighter object to the left.

PS-Walter Cronkite did a live broadcast of a launch from a nearby enclosed metal house trailer. The noise level was so high at a frequency of about 14 Hz that the roof and walls of the trailer reacted which of course put a warble in his on air voice and frightened him. That should have satisfied the doubters.

That's not the same image as above, not even the same landing site.
Where is that big crater (right) in the original image ?

Click the link to the article in the original post. The photo is captioned "A long shadow is cast by the Apollo 11 descent stage."

I don't see what's wrong with those shadows in either of those images. They look right to me.

Lol, I guess those round things are craters. For some reason my brain interpreted them as mounds or hills.

Apart from "velcro" etc I would theorise that there is a bigger spin off from the space race.
The Apollo programe was a huge boost to the American high tec sector. It taught the US how to develop and build huge long term technology projects. It pumped money into defense contractors such as Rockwell, Boeing and many others. It drew a huge number of talented people into engineering and showed how to make use of them.
At the same time the programme gave America a massive confidense boost in it's own abilities.
As a result America has spent the last thirty years dominating the world through force of will, projection of power and industrial/military might. Without the space programme to move all this I think America would be a far different place than it is today.
Now, many people may say that's not al a good thing (especially for some parts of the rest of the world) but in terms of a return on investment it is quite staggering.
Perhaps a mars programme could be put to some similar use since the US seems to be on a bit of a debbie downer at th moment self image wise.

You didn't read my links did you? Velcro did NOT come from NASA/space program/space race (yes, the used in the Apollo missions, but the invention and availability of product had nothing to do with NASA).

As an interesting aside, condoms were freely issued and available to cap open tubing during construction. Was that a new use?

Not really, considering soldiers used them to cover the barrels of their rifles/machine guns during river crossings and rain storms.

Yes I did. That's why i put it in quotes. I was pointing out that individual spin offs real or not, are not important compared to the overall benefits of the programme.
