Absolutely 100% pure bullchips. Stated by people who have zero fricking clue, and who are working on 100% assumption.Hey, wait a sec! Hubble’s resolution is only 0.1 arcseconds, so the lander is way too small to be seen as anything more than a dot, even by Hubble. It would have to be a lot bigger to be seen at all. In fact, if you do the math (set Hubble’s resolution to 0.1 arcseconds and the distance to 400,000 kilometers) you see that Hubble’s resolution on the Moon is about 200 meters! In other words, even a football stadium on the Moon would look like a dot to Hubble.
Has anyone ever seen the pics of nebula that were taken by Hubble? And you’re telling me it can’t see something on the Moon? ROFLMAO... Oh, that’s rich.
I spoke with some of the folks who designed Hubble and the Quickbird cameras.
Let me explain it this way. If there was a football stadium on the Moon, not only could Hubble see it, it could see the chewing gum left on the seat, and read the date off a penny sitting on the floor.
I’ll also tell you this for free. The real specs on the Quickbird cameras are classified. And it’s not the crappy resolution that is published for public consumption.
And Hubble is considered ‘outdated’ and ‘obsolete’ tech, and was when it was put up there. The 2nd generation stuff they were working on before Hubble even launched was exponentially better than the 1st gen stuff, which was pretty darn impressive. The stuff they have now is just absolutely amazing.
FYI: The Navy also uses Quickbird cameras on it’s ships. Just a little factoid tidbit for you.
