Just posted this on my FB page... no bites

It's a fake.

Looks 'shopped. I mean there isn't any light on the moon, it's albedo is like coal, so how could you see the footprints?

The landing module isn't casting a shadow so the trails are not a result of a shadow effect but the crushing of the lunar regolith. This stuff is pretty dark to begin having a albedo of .12 so perhaps crushing it made it much darker still - nearer to perfect black? really?

Okay, I look at the Moon and I don't see it because it's pretty dark?

It's not even Photoshopped, it's pure imaginary digital imagery. Looks a lot like a scene from "The Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King" to me. You know, the scenes in Mordor...

Or perhaps it's out-takes from "Apollo 18"...

With today's capabilities in digital SFX and animation, every image is now suspect. At least film had the advantage of being very hard to manipulate undetectably, due to the randomness of the grain structure.

Of course it's digital imagery, the shots were taken with a CCD.

The moonlight you see from here is coming from a area the size of australia whilst this moon landing is the size of a small car lot.

And bananas fit perfectly in the mouth. So fucking what.

I think out of all the CT's this is my favourite, it makes I larf

I think it was like in that Capricorn One movie. You never really went. A case of The Big Lie at the height of the cold war and losing in Vietnam. Something of a moral booster.

Which means that the veracity of the image is entirely dependent upon the willingness of those in control of it to fabricate the image out of nothing more than imagination.

Yep, assume they're lying until proven otherwise.
