- excession, on 10/12/2007, -3/+22it was obviously done on a sound stage, you can see all the equipm.... oh.
:P
dugg for great images! - legendxx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7serious question. Why cant we just use a telescope and find the legs (lower portion) of the lunar modules (apollo 11 - 17, minus 13) on the moon and shut all these conspiracy theorists up? They have to still be there... right?
- STKD, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7They did exactly this around 2002.

It's a shame you can't look up in these QTVRs... you'd be able to see the Earth hanging there in the inky black sky like a big blue marble, over twice as big as the moon is in our skies. - TheSurfer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Actually today it is 36 years since Apollo 14 with Allan Shepard as Commander landed.
- datastorageguy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4All you are doing is giving your lame search engine a bad name by spamming it on Digg. Your marketing strategy is not very well thought out.

Prove that it's really a telescope and not just a sophisticated telescope-looking monitor with a tiny screen inside to show you what THEY want you to see... and so on. Conspiracy theorists are never satisfied. - legendxx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3finally! I've been looking for something to replace google, yahoo, and ms live! wait.. no those work just fine for 99.9% of people on earth. take your spam and blow it out your ass.
- raid517, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Lol here's one for you conpiracy people.

- TheSurfer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Apple only killed their own stitching software QTVR authoring studio. Quicktime VR is more alive than ever. Even if we have a lot of other viewers available today Quicktime is still the best for high resolution VR Photography. Have a look around panoramas.dk and you will see that we do much more today than real estate. VR Photography is now a photographic media used in many areas in a quality we could never do with the Apple software.
Check the Arounder Magazine http://aroundermagazine.com for example. - basselope, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2logged in just to digg.
Gave me goosbumps! - GiggleStick, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2That just says that they were planning on doing it, I don't see any results. I like that it's just called the VLT (Very Large Telescope). Real creative guys. Why not the BAT (Bigg Ass Telescope)?
- TheWeez, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Pretty sweet. It's a real shame Apple killed off QuickTime VR. It was a great offering and still has a very large following. I have several friends that are part of QTVR groups. It's still commercially used for real estate sales, car sales, and a number of other things. Bring back QTVR Apple!
- greyfade, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2@legendxx: the landers' platforms, being only a few meters across, are too small to be seen from this distance. besides, most landers came down just barely in view of the Earth. AFAIK, none landed where we'd actually be able to see them, even if we could.
- Spetz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1If you hate quicktime disable it from your startup options in run->msconfg.
- trenchMonkey, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3The only thing missing is the pictures... ya *****
- DrewClayton, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2The moon rules
- gabrielg01, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Thanks for posting this. Very cool stuff!!!
- vikingcoder, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0@legendxx
No need for that. The Apollo 11 astronauts left a laser ranging retroreflector - i.e. a mirror - on the moon. Anybody will a sufficiently powerful laser and
detector can prove that we were there.
It's how they measure the distance to the moon with a precision of centimeters.

The laser reflector consists of 100 fused silica half-cubes, called corner cubes, mounted in a 46-centimeter square aluminum panel. Each corner cube is 3.8 centimeters in diameter. Corner cubes reflect a beam of light directly back toward the point of origin. - killerofkiller, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3because the skeptics would say we gimped the pics
- cjkuzmich, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Awesome
- kkush, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Why cant i see the earth? And where are the other stars? And is that ship or whatever it is made of aluminum or gold foils.......
- davidave, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0where are the panoramas for apollo 13...oh right....
- gregcotten, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2SPAM
- chuckismyname, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1i hate quicktime. -100 digs for quicktime. get off of it, it invades, and won't leave.
- loganhid, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1i just saw the Mooninites
- zippy757, on 10/12/2007, -11/+5I wonder how we got the Russians the go along with our fake moon landings during the cold war ?
- wvdavis, on 10/12/2007, -11/+2Yeah... doesn't the Apollo 11 scenery look a lot like the Apollo 17 scenery.
