I'd like your comment on my synchronous orbit point before we go into the photo issue.

Please do. There's no arguing with them.

These aren't in black and white:





Oh wait, I thought NASA only took black and white pictures.

Obviously photoshopped.

Believe what you want.

I believe that NASA takes both black and white and color pictures of the moon.

What does that have to do with ANYTHING?

Do you really believe that?

Genuinely curious.

who's arguing? I just stated my opinion. I wasn't looking for approval.

There isn't any conspiracy. I said that for spending $ 500 million, the pictures don't look that great to me.

what you think about the pictures is your business.

The total cost of the mission is reported as US $583 million, of which $504 million pertains to the main LRO probe and $79 million to the LCROSS satellite, AND THE CAMERA IS BLACK AND WHITE ? LOL

They have a color camera on the mission. I have already posted it. They have always had color cameras. Did you not note that Mars mission pictures are red?

The pictures look great for what they were intended for: science. Not to satisfy the nutty ideas of a few conspiracists.

If you want a color picture of the moon, here's one I took of an eclipse in 2003 (IIRC):

If whatever i said, didn't have any kind of profound affect you at all, then there is no point in saying anything else.

I actually like Camaros so I don't want to talk about this anymore. Thanks.

Space is not that interesting to me anyway.


Adios

Yep, no raw pictures ever go out anymore, same reason you dont get to see live unedited footage of space.
