Speaking of landing sites, here's a high resolution image taken from low orbit over the moon showing the Apollo 17 Challenger Descent Stage, and you can even see tracks traveling too and from the lander.

Originally posted by oxmixmudd View Postlike holocaust denial - the more time between the actual event and the present, the more people there will be that will find merit in denying it's reality. I am surprised it was as many as you say. It's sad really. And I would guess part of it is the anti-science tendency in conservative voters spurred on by the various and sundry pseudo science outlets and general conspiracy paranoia they see embraced by their leaders. E.g. Ken Ham and many evangelicals, Trump and his attitude towards AGW and a whole host of other conspiracy theories.

It's getting difficult to dialogue with you about anything, Jim; your paranoia regarding Public Enemy #1 is tainting everything you post these days.

Originally posted by oxmixmudd View PostPro abortion is ideological, not anti science.
Anti vaxers are e all across the spectrum, though most of the ones i've run into are on the evangelical/republican side."The man from the yacht thought he was the first to find England; I thought I was the first to find Europe.
