In July 1969, Man first walked on the Moon. Over the course of three more years, we did it five more times.
Despite the return of hundreds of kilos of rocks, thousands of pictures, and independent verification and authentication from dozens of countries (some of which were and still are our enemies), some people stubbornly refuse to accept the fact that the Apollo Moon landings were real.
I need not go into their falacious claims here (after all, I've written on them extensively elsewhere). Instead, let's look at a seemingly simple question of verification: if the landings were real, why not point Hubble or some other telescope at the landing sites and take pictures of the landers?
This question is obvious enough, and I've gotten it so many times I decided to write this description of just why this won't work. The answer is pretty surprising to most people, but the science doesn't lie.
