Empirical Earth · We Went to the Moon — the Landings Were Real

We went — and you don’t have to take NASA’s word for it

The claim

“It’s all NASA footage — no way to check the landings.”

What is measured

All six landing sites have been photographed from orbit, with descent stages, rover tracks, footpaths, flag shadows, by NASA’s LRO (camera run by ASU and the German Aerospace Center) and corroborated by Japanese, Indian and Korean probes. Lasers still bounce off the reflectors.

What would show this is wrong

a single landing site that, imaged at sub-meter resolution by any nation’s orbiter, shows no descent stage, tracks, or equipment where the record places them.

  1. LRO/LROC imaging of the Apollo sites. NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (~0.5 m/px, to ~0.27 m on low passes) imaged all six sites — descent stages, ALSEP, rover tracks, footpaths a link
  2. Third-party evidence for the Apollo landings. Independent imaging (Japan’s Kaguya, India’s Chandrayaan-2, South Korea’s Danuri) and contemporaneous tracking by the USSR and Jodrell Bank corr link
  3. Apollo received live by non-NASA observatories. The UK’s Jodrell Bank tracked the lunar-module signal and detected when Armstrong took manual control; Australia’s Parkes dish relayed the TV; link
  4. Apollo sites imaged by other nations’ spacecraft. Japan’s Kaguya/SELENE terrain camera (2008) reconstructed a 3-D view of the Apollo 15 site that reproduces the crew’s own surface photograph link
  5. Lunar laser ranging, ongoing. ILRS stations — Apache Point (NM), Grasse, Wettzell and Matera — range the lunar arrays to ~1 mm; NASA’s Next-Generation Lunar Retroreflector aboard Firefly’s B link
  6. A sixth array, 2023. India’s Chandrayaan-3 carried a NASA Laser Retroreflector Array to the south-polar region; NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter laser-ranged it on 12 December 2023. NASA link
