[color=blue]At one million kilometers far from here, your telescope "HUBBLE" can't see a missile even if it was one kilometer long.
[&:]NASA PHOTOSHOP should belie my opinions.


V, please educate yourself before you again spew your narrow minded views. Your verbal diahrea is digging you deeper into a hole, while your credibility as an intellegent person dwindls faster than I can type. Now I know that no one wants to read this information, but I can't sit idle as you flounder through life. The current documented visual range of the Hubble space telescope is twelve billion light years. Compared to that one million killometers is just about insignifigant. The closest star to earth is 24,000,000,000,000 miles (38,000,000,000,000 kilometers) To measure great distances as these, the unit of light years are used. A light year is the distance that light can travel in a year. Light travels at 186.000 miles per second (300,000 kilometers per second) or 186,000 miles/second X 60 seconds/minute X 24 hours/day X 365 days/year. That equals 5,865,696,000,000 miles/year which is the total distance of one light year. Now........multiply that by twelve billion. And no, the HST cannot see the Apollo landing site. The mirrors in the HST are calibrated to view images at great distances. The moon is so close that it cannot focus on something in that short range. So do me a favor and one day after you tire of playing your simulator games on the computer, do take advantage of its capabilities along with the vast amount of data at your disposal on the internet and research before you make any more statements. Now that you can belie on. Uncontrolably yours, Joe
