Did we really land on the moon?

[Flying Mullet]

considering with a high enough powered telescope people have actually seen the flag on the moon... yeah

THE JACKAL

Really, I didn't know that. Do you know where/if the pictures could be found?

Yeah, I thought the way a telescope gathers light prevents us from seeing the flag on the moon. It's one of the common conspiracy theory "proofs". They say you can't see the flag with a telescope, therefor we didn't land. The rebuttal is that telescopes gather light and the flag ends up "bleached out" of the image. Most people think that a telescope acts like a giant magnifying glass, which isn't really true.
