JUST BECAUSE I CAN!

It takes real guts to market a product on a late-night infomercial with “Sham” in its name.

Theology, astrology, pathology, apology.

ROFL. Thank you, thank you, thank you for that link!

Can you please point the Hubble at the Apollo landing sites on the moon and take pictures to prove the missions really occurred?

WTF, has our resident troll changed nick?

Just in case it isn’t Quasar: no, we can’t. (Not nearly enough resolution, see the BAs posts on that.)

Incidentally, I don’t know why you would like to, since we have plenty of observations that test that. Eye witnesses, movies, et cetera. But it will happen soon anyway, as the LRO mission to the Moon, launching next month, will do that during the primary one year mission, perhaps early on as a reference part of their mission to return to the Moon:

“This mission is all about taking us back to the moon. LRO has 6 science instruments and is the size of a mini-couper. We are looking for water ice and will get a totally comprehensive look at the moon”, says LRO Deputy Project Manager Catherine Peddie of NASA Goddard.
[...]
After the primary mission is complete, management responsibilities for the spacecraft will be handed over to NASA’s Science Mission Directorate. “A new science mission phase will then begin that will be operationally very different then our primary mission”. Traditionally, new project management “will then be assigned by NASA to oversee the day to day operations. How they fly LRO exactly and which instruments and observations they choose to use and to do could be very different”, explained Tooley. NASA hopes to operate LRO for perhaps 5 years and hopefully even longer.

“We will look to photograph [one or more of] the Apollo landing sites with 0.5 meter resolution”, said Tooley. The high resolution camera will also be targeted to find other US and Russian unmanned robotic landers and rovers. “Initial images may be available during the first month. The lower half of the Lunar Module (LM) should be easily visible as well as the lunar rover tracks and perhaps the science instruments”.

Now that should put a stopper in the more whining parts of the intertoobs. Just two more months. [Grumble, grumble....]

There. Fix’t.

Phil has explained — multiple times — why Hubble can’t do that, most recently as #5 in his post Ten Things You Don’t Know About Hubble.

You’re assuming that the head was functioning before the swapping. I’ve seen no such evidence.
