It's their probe. DaveM, the best way to get an answer is probably by contacting NASA. It’s their probe.

There should be hundreds by now and more probably thousands of high quality photos in NASA's possession. Why can't the public see them?

I, for one, believe Buzz Aldrin, the Apollo-era hatch-closer and all the other hundreds of Apollo workers who the hoaxers badly insult and defame. Oh & look up the idea of Occam's razor too. @128 realitysurfer :

T.E.L. Says: "Here’s a rough estimate of how many hits the Apollo 11 LM Kapton may have taken...that means there could be over 61,600 punctures in Apollo 11’s foil. It could be in tatters." Remember, though, that the sides of the descent stage are mostly vertical, so only the off angle hits would go through. Besides, the exhaust plume from the ascent engine may have done significant damage as it left. From the Apollo 16 and 17 video (from the rover) we can see an awful lot of foil flying away at ignition. - Jack 115. T.E.L.

I was paid $65,000 from the State of Ohio to try and prove we really landed on the moon. I traveled all over OHIO trying to get Neil to talk...he will not talk to anyone. Here is link to my film on youtube. It opens with me on WLW-AM Radio in Ohio, trying to reach out to Neil http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gM3Mt1Vym3g please share this link I made a film called DID WE GO?
