Of course.
Wait. "We"? Like you and me?
Yes, of course I believe that 12 Americans walked on the moon.

Originally posted by @divegeesterWell, of course it's a conspiracy! You don't think the moon really is large enough for people to walk on, do you? I mean, look at it. You can cover it with your thumb at arm's length! Even at the horizon it's hardly larger than a tall tower - probably smaller than the Vehicle Assembly Building itself. So how could a Saturn possibly land on it?

And any ...[text shortened]... closer than They want you to believe, we could get there easily. What we can't do is land there.
Originally posted by @shallow-blueApparently the full moon is just big enough.

You can literally SEE the footprints on the surface with a telescope.

the hyperbole "literally" is a difficult one because of its own meaning.
It should be clear by a simple estimate that the optical resolution does not allow to distinguish such small features on that distance...
Originally posted by @wolfgang59I don’t see it would t be possible, although I’d really like to see the photo...

Sonhouse, perhaps you will get a call up.
FreakyKBH and Susianen will already be working up conspiracy theories about why we won’t go/didn’t go.
Originally posted by @suzianneI don't believe that either.
What you CAN see is a trail of footprints on the lunar surface around a landing site on the moon going to the rover and to sites a distance away where there are science instruments set up.
Originally posted by @suzianneOh, come on, Suzianne, surely you cannot believe that? If it were 31 km from the surface, you'd be able to see the entire moon in one shot! Don't fall for this "Giant Moon" fraud, it's just not true. You can't walk on the moon, it's too small.
It turns out that these photos are from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter from an altitude of 31 km above the lunar surface.
