Why do people believe in conspiracy theories, or why does Tom exist...

Is it possible to orbit the moon, or would earth's gravity pull a satellite away? Seems to me it would be cheap enough to send up satellites to image the whole thing, and release it to the public like Google Earth. That way they could get all the amateurs to look for interesting stuff on the moon's surface.

My guess is no, or it's not being allowed. With something like google earth, if such a thing was possible for the Moon, or Mars, it'd be great.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_orbit

Gravitational anomalies slightly distorting the orbits of the Lunar Orbiters led to the discovery of mass concentrations (dubbed mascons), beneath the lunar surface caused by large impacting bodies at some remote time in the past. These anomalies are significant enough to cause a lunar orbit to change significantly over the course of several days.

You could still do it but you'd have to add thrusters and extra fuel to keep the satellite in a stable orbit.

Uh huh, mascons eh? That, or SUBTERRANEAN CITIES :^P

Google beat you to it. You can also track the entire Apollo missions with a guided tour + video! If you're a fan of Google Earth, Google Moon/Mars is also a lot of fun.

I never looked there :^/

A lot of it is pretty low res. I'd like to see the whole thing in great detail. I should be able to spend some time checking it out though. Thanks for the tip :^)

It's not the same as google earth.

Do they have Street View?!

Oh wait, why would they need streets when they have flying cars?!

That might give away the location of Hitler's secret Moon / Mars underground bunker or UFO parking garage.

This alien craft is very similar to sgreg's video clip:

Rick Sanchez said the media is run by Jews.

CNN is one of the most blatant one's.

[sgreger1]

I actually think it's pretty racist to say "x is owned by x race" just because they have a lot of people from that race there. I mean you could say the auto-industry is run by white people, lol. I mean just because a lot of jewish people are attracted to professions like banking and media doesn't make it a conspiracy.


That's no better than some dude in alabama saying ".. awefull lot of ******s around here, I think they're tryin to take us over I recon!"
