Should we be building stuff on the moon?  What if we can see it from Earth?

Sure.\nHow about a giant neon sign that says "EARTHLINGS SUCK!"?

I admit I have been wondering the same thing myself--espicially after seeing a documentary posing doubts we landed on the moon.  The photographic evidence posed on the show did give me some thought, being I do have experience in professional photography.\n\nThe LEM photos: That thing purportedly landed on the moon, firing retro rockets with enough blast power to burn the moon surface under it to shiny black glass.....yet the area looks undistrubed!  All that violent firepower had to have raised moon dust all over the place.....yet look how shiny and dirt free the LEM landing pads looked.  Espically take note of NO moon dust collected inside the landing foot pods themselves.\n\nThe Apollo mission cameras were state of the art of their time, with perfectly etched "crosses" on the lenses to assist with picture composition.  I still see the astronaut photo where one of those crosses IS BLOCKED OUT by the guy's shoulder--where it should've been OVERLAPPED to appear onto his arm/shoulder!!\n\nThe sun light / angle theory gets complicated.....but it clearly made sense to me....and gave rise to suspicions.  \n\nThe video of a golf ball getting shot out into space was good PR, but take note how the fine moon dust stirred up by the lunar rover merely falls back to the surface....when it should fly off into the air.\n\nThen there's the Van Allen belt explanation: stuff we learned back in fifth grade: a deadly belt of radiation, stretching hundreds of miles between us and the Moon.  You'd have to travel in a ship with walls of at least five feet thick of lead to safely shoot through it....the Apollo space vehicle walls were....what....maybe two inches (if that) thick???  And our guys never cooked like chicken in a microwave???? The Van Allen belt emits enough deadly radiation to singe fry the Apollo capsule electronics in about 2 minutes and cook the astronauts in about another minute past that.  So how did our guys do it?\n\nThe Space Shuttle: purportedly capable of travel to the Moon and back....yet it's NEVER been done.  Why? The thing can carry enough fuel, food / supplies and other life support for such safe travel.  In fact, it was one of the Shuttle program objectives...that got put on the back burner....and not likely due to "budget" or "safety" concerns.\n\nHowever, all this "evidence" is of conjecture; you have to be your own judge on if we faked the Moon landings, until we get a deathbed confession by one of the surviving astronauts to confirm we DID fake the landings.  Until then, it makes for great coffee-cafe debate amongst good friends.

There are 2 ways you can view Earth from space.\n\n1: Type the word "earth" in your search bar and then click on "images"\n\n2: Fly to the moon.

Maybe you could make use of a giant mirror orbiting directly above you geostationarily in space.\n\nSo you could see your house... from the sky. :)

I have heard that to. Your absolutely right. Are moon is the only one in the solar system that rotates in such a way that we can Never see the far side. There really could be any thing on the far side of the moon. Don't believe me. Look it up! We can only see one side of are moon. Its the only moon like that that we know of. Again, look it up.\n\n There are reports of HAM radio operators picking up conversations between astronauts and NASA saying things like "There just sitting there on the other side of the Crater looking at us, there huge". No kidding. And not only did Armstrong say "what the..." he also said " we have company, there here with us". He was then ordered to switch to a secure channel.\n\n Don't you wonder why the moon landing's just up and stopped? The Russian's too. Now after all this time were going back. Why?\n\n Some scientists now say the moon may be hallow and that it was "put" there about 15000 years ago. For instance when the Apollo astronauts dropped cargo containers onto the service of the moon, those little cargo containers set off lunar quakes that lasted for hours.\n\n Have we been warned off in some way to not look to closely at the moon? Is there some kind of Alain base on the far side of the moon? I don't know, but if you look into this on the net you well find some pretty interesting stuff.\n\n usarocketman- No one on earth can see the far side of the moon. NASA has taken pictures from space. There NASA pictures, they can be altered. My point is no normal person can see the far side of the moon from earth, like with a telascope or the naked eye. So we can not prove or disprove the NASA photos for are self's.

The moon keeps the Earth from rocking rapidly back and forth along it's orbit. Without it, life would be screwed. The seasons would be out of whack which would kill off a lot of the plant and animal life on Earth. To destroy the moon would be to destroy our way of life, and maybe the ability to live on Earth. So no, we should not blow up the moon.

Since the Moon's gravity is only one sixth that of the Earth, much less fuel is needed to launch from the Moon than from the Earth, assuming the mass launched from each is the same.\nOf course the Moon would not be visible.  It does not make its own light, because its just a big rocky ball.

to use the gravitational pulls of the earth and the moon

We could build prisons on the moon..for all the worlds worst,the 1st world prison,,or maybe mars,,doubt thered be many prisoners years after that ..somehow..ppl would behave themselves

maybe you would want to measure the helium content on moon and compare it to earth.

Very cool question.\n\nThe moon circles the earth about once a month.\n\nSo roughly every two weeks the moon is somewhere in the sky on the lighted side of the earth -- the side facing the sun.\n\nNow depending where you are standing on the earth, when the moon is in the daylight sky, you may be able to see it. \n\nIt depends on your local geography, for instance if you live in a deep valley, your view of the sky is smaller and you are less likely to see the moon and the sun at the same time.\n\nIt also depends on how close to the sun the moon appears in the sky and on the time of day.\n\nYou can use the automatic sky chart in the links below and see when the moon and sun are in the sky together.\n\nIn some cases even if the sky is too bright to see the moon, you can use a telescope or binoculars to see it. Be VERY careful not to aim at the sun, or you could seriously damage your vision.\n\nHappy moon watching!

i think that it is very important in a modern society like ours who might one day venture into the unknown reaches of space to be fully aware of our space surroundings. the moon does look pretty promising for a colony.

Yes. If you are watching earth and moon from a distant place far far away in space, it would look like that. There is another thing- Moon and earth have a irregular movement due to each others gravity. They kind of wobble a tiny bit. The earth is moving, and the moon is revolving around the earth and following the earth.

Not that I know of. If there were, I'm sure it would cost a lot to do it. There is, however, a way you can look at the earth from above and see it as a snapshot! (Snapshots taken from satellites!)\n\nEarth.Google.com\n\nYou do have to download a free program and install it, but I spent about two weeks of my spare time looking at places I've never been, or haven't been in a long time. Places like the Eiffel Tower, Grand Canyon, Mt. Rushmore. I also went places I go all the time, like my house. I noticed the picture was taken years ago because it showed construction going on that has been completed a while.\n\nIt's fun, but sorry it's not streaming video. It's not even that up to date, but you can go see things that don't change much!

No.  But we see only the side that faces earth.\n\nHere's a good diagram that explains it better than I can...\n\n\nhttp://www.windows.ucar.edu/tour/link=/the_universe/uts/moon2.html

From space or the moon? From space you can see the great wall of china and Vegas lights,but from the moon it is not possible with the naked eye.......

The moon is very far away from the Earth.  It may be hard to imagine, but it is possible to see the moon from many different points on the earth at the same time.\n\nAlso realize that all of Earth experiences the same phase of the moon at the same time.  When we see a full moon, the people on the other side of the world are seeing the same full moon.
