@Ray MASSIH No it didn't. The show had low ratings, very few people heard it. CBS didn't even broadcast it in many rural regions opting for other programing. Nobody thought it was real, at least there are no first hand accounts of anyone thinking it was real. There were people who said they were scared. People get scared in horror movies, it does not mean they thought it was real. The newspaper industry essentially made it up to show it's advertisers, and regulators, that radio management was irresponsible and not to be trusted with anything serious like their main product, the news. People were very accustomed to fictional programs on the radio at the time. It's nice to imagine some rube out in the sticks running out of his house in fear of aliens, but it's bullshit.

[@user-tt5js4bh2v]

_"No flags were ever there"_ In the 1970's this was probably true. Since then it has become quite apparent that the various contractors that make up the MIC, have created some extremely sophisticated weapons and technologies. I mean we all watched clear evidence of 50th Space Wing (USAF) using a low earth orbit platform to dispose of millions of tons of gypsum, steel, office furniture, bathrooms, people and ... aeroplane wrecks. But officially this technology still _doesn't exist_ . Likewise the 1980's saw literally hundreds of reports of giant triangular anti gravity stealth vehicles in NATO countries, in the run up to the fall of the Berlin Wall and the beginning of Perestroyka. But apparently all the policemen and airforce pilots who saw them were all on crack or something, because officially this technology _doesn't exist_ . Ronald Reagan started shooting his mouth off about dangerous forces offworld and people wondered if he was also on crack, or maybe just drunk. Turns out he'd already pushed the SDI program through without any form of oversight and from the moment he realised what he had done, the rogue elephant in the room was (and still is) directly over everyone's head. Anyway, the point is that there are probably many flags on the lunar surface and they're exclusively military / private contractor related. That rubbish they showed to the public in 1969 starring Neil Actor and Buzz A-hole was a half cocked joke. The amount of technical inconsistencies in their b-movie script are in their hundreds. Look at the size of the batteries on the Lunar Rover and then look at the power requirement of a Satellite broadcast unit. One is a 21st century truck sized setup, the other is a silver pram with some giant watch batteries wrapped in a silver blanket......

+Shadow Suave can you see the cells on a leaf with a telescope?

[@ljdean1956]

+Shadow Suave :1,400 Ly is a very long distance and even planets cannot be seen as discs at this distance, even with the Hubble. The Hubble directly imaged a planet around Fomalhaut b which is just 25 ly distant and all it saw was a couple of pixels. What Kepler is detecting is the dimming of starlight using a photometer, not an optical telescope. It sees transiting planets as starlight dimming, not entire planetary discs. The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) image some of the artifacts on the moon from 15 miles up. The flags stand vertically so they'd be very difficult to see since you'd be looking straight down on them. If Kepler 452b were where the moon is, telescopes would see it in great detail but not enough resolution to see flag sized objects. Instead of calling BS on something your demonstrating you may not understand, why not search the web on telescopes and their capabilities and limitations?

[@ApolloWasReal]

Telescopes can see bright objects very far away without resolving them. They show in a single pixel. The distance at which a telescope can resolve an object depends on the distance to the object AND its size. If the size-to-distance ratio is too small, the scope cannot see it, and that's the case for the Apollo objects seen from earth. They ARE seen quite nicely with telescopes in lunar orbit on LRO, which gives 1/2 m resolution or better.

Anyone who understands optics (which apparently doesn't include you) can easily figure out for themselves that the HST lacks the resolution needed to see the Apollo artifacts, even with the moon at perigee. But who needs the HST to look at the moon when we have a much closer telescope in lunar orbit that shows the artifacts very nicely? Of course, even if the HST could see the Apollo artificts you'd dismiss it just as you dismiss the LRO images, and with no better reason.
