Apollo 11 tapes found

ok can somebody tell me how many moon landings there were, because there have been more than a few landings on the moon so where are all the landing modules or did they take off again in those?

People have already voiced their concerns about the footage being doctored while it is being restored (and I tend to agree to a certain extent. This is America we are dealing with after all - they will need to project the image of their "superiority" as best they can, especially after the smack their image has taken recently with sub-prime etc) so I would like to raise another point with the OP. Why do you lump two distinctly different, in my view, types of people together, as if they are interchangeable, in your post.

Tree huggers, which I assume is what you were implying by "happy tree", are environmentalists. Whereas people who as said to be tinfoil hat wearers are conspiracy theorists. I am not sure why you seem to have lumped the two together in a derogatory manner. I personal side with the former more often than not but the latter make me laugh.
 
bottom half of the lander is still there, the bonze foil part

Yes this is why many think this is BS..

First they "Lost" them and now 40 yrs later THEY FOUND THEM??

Questionable.........

There are. There are six landers, 5 of which has been imaged.

The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera, or LROC, was able to image five of the six Apollo sites, with the remaining Apollo 12 site expected to be photographed in the coming weeks.

The spacecraft's current elliptical orbit resulted in image resolutions that were slightly different for each site but were all around four feet per pixel. Because the deck of the descent stage is about 12 feet in diameter, the Apollo relics themselves fill an area of about nine pixels. However, because the sun was low to the horizon when the images were made, even subtle variations in topography create long shadows. Standing slightly more than ten feet above the surface, each Apollo descent stage creates a distinct shadow that fills roughly 20 pixels.

The image of the Apollo 14 landing site had a particularly desirable lighting condition that allowed visibility of additional details. The Apollo Lunar Surface Experiment Package, a set of scientific instruments placed by the astronauts at the landing site, is discernable, as are the faint trails between the module and instrument package left by the astronauts' footprints.

See article for images

Oh, and before someone complains about the resolution and size of the images, these are only preliminary shots.

These first images were taken between July 11 and 15, and the spacecraft is not yet in its final mapping orbit. Future LROC images from these sites will have two to three times greater resolution.

Please.

The Americans did not land on the moon. For that matter, neither did anyone else.

I read that NASA want to do another trip to the moon in 2020.

Really? Why 2020?

Oh dear, you've obviously been to the the LoneGunman school of Conspiracy Theorists :o - if you're interested, LG & either Claymore or Rkootnir had a thread about this exact topic a few years ago - very enlightening...but once again the tinfoil hat wearers were shown that what they believed was false.

You know full well Chris it takes more than mere facts to cure anti Americanism.

Hows that one comment that when Armstrong stepped off onto the moon he didn't know if he'd sink. WTF!!! The Lunar Module didn't so why would he :erm:

Not that they had managed to figure that out long before they were sent there :rolleyes:

Don't expect to find the landing site for Apollo 13. ;)

It never landed on the moon due to a malfunction en-route. The astronauts returned safely.
