With the first robot rover to land on the Moon in nearly 40 years, China's Jade Rabbit, has begun sending back photos, with shots of its lunar lander. So will it prove or desprove that the moon landings were fake?

I think the technology has been in place for some years now, that would have proved or disproved one way or the other. |

from the Observer newspaper
An experiment, begun when Apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin left a mirror on the lunar surface 40 years ago to allow Earth-based astronomers to fire lasers at it, has been ended by American science chiefs.
The National Science Foundation (NSF) last week wrote to scientists working at the McDonald Laser ranging station at Fort Davis in Texas to tell them the annual $125,000 funding for their research project was going be terminated following a review of its scientific merits.
The decision means that four decades of continuous lunar laser research at the McDonald Observatory, run by the University of Texas at Austin, will be halted by the end of this year. Among the project's unlikely achievements has been the discovery that the moon is moving away from Earth at a rate of two-and-a-half inches a year.
The mirror's existence, and the fact that astronomers can bounce lasers off it and detect the returning beam, has also provided Nasa and other scientists with compelling evidence to refute the claims of moon-landing deniers who claim the Apollo lunar mission were hoaxes filmed in an Earth-based studio. |

Yeah I read this too but you don't need an actual person to be able to put a mirror on the moon surely? |

No, but you need something to have landed there. The OP states that all moon landings were faked, but the presence of the mirrors shows that at least one wasn't. |

Ahh I see. I thought reaching the moon was never in contention, just the fact that humans at walked on it 50 years ago.
"Forget about the moon landings bro!
I heard the whole moon is fake!!! Just cheese or some shit!  "
It's where Dairylea, cows are the fakes! |

Jeezuz H fucking christ on a Titan 2! Its never enough for some is it?
Right, say the deniers are correct and hundreds, sorry, thousands of people have lied about the landings over the years. What bad has come from that lie?
Nothing. People were galvanised into believing in something epic and wonderful for a change, and motivated to develop new and exciting technologies and systems which have filtered down into our everyday life.
It's not like telling people, for example that a magic sky wizard controls everything. Which has arguably been the catalyst for most of the unnecessary death in human history.
Sense of fucking perspective needed here I think. |

Will the Chinese be bringing all the cheese back and is that going to have a detrimental effect on our home produced cheeses; stilton, wensleydale, double Gloucester etc. Has the cheesemakers union been involved? |

Do they have them in Argos ? |

True, but i do think The Waterboys were using artistic licence somewhat. |

And besides, the Moon had better be real otherwise i've wasted a £10 buying a whole square foot of it.
Maybe i should ask the Chinese to check if it's actually there, or whether it's been squatted upon. |
