What's up with moon landing leftovers ?

Thought we turned it over to the lunar bears years ago?

 
There should be a lunar lander left on the moon , a flag, and many other stuff that was supposed to be on the moon atm.
Are there any telescope or satellite images where those are visible ?
So per the internet the area of the moon is 14m sq mi, and roughly half is visible.

7m sq miles.

South America is 6.88 million sq miles

Do you think you could point a telescope at south america from 238,000 miles away and locate and spot a FLAG?

Look at an image of South America from the ISS. Do you see any flags?
Feel free to zoom in.
Thats about 200miles.
So figure a bit more than 1000x farther away.


TLDR: you are asking a pretty insane amount of zoom and clarity to expect a clear image. Maybe it exists, technology is booming, but you are basically asking to spot an ant on the beach out the window of a commercial plane.
 
why arent there a bunch of 24/7 live video feeds from satellites showing all kinds of stuff from space or the moon, cameras are cheap

You can watch a live stream of the ISS, it's mostly of earth though. The moon is much further away than any of our satellites.
 
Only orbital telescopes are able to resolve enough detail to see the stuff on the Moon.

why is JFK associated with the moon landings when it was during the Nixon administration that all the Apollo missions occured

why have we never had a human pass through the van allen belts since the moon missions and why was it so easy then but the Orion and Artemis projects have such a difficult time

how did a bunch of bra seamstresses at playtex create perfectly functioning spacesuits

there is a long list of this stuff and at some point you have to wonder if its true or if it it just cool to think about, when you suspend your disbelief you are extremely gullible and if you have been trained by movies and TV shows to do it all the time and never really engage in critical thinking are you being made to look like a fool and was this type of dynamic why it was so easy to convince a bunch of people the common cold was a super killer poison cloud virus taking over the world (like the movie contagion ofc)

The fools are the people who repeat this tripe without doing any fact checking. I was alive for all of the time that rockets have been sent into space.

There are many cameras on satellites watching the earth at all times. Most are used by the military but there are some that are used by private companies. There is a live feed from the international space station going on right now.

JFK is associated with the moon landings because he was the leader that made the decision that the United States should do it and tasked his vice president with getting it done. After Kennedy was killed, Lyndon Johnson followed up on that promise. That's why there is the Kennedy Space Center in Florida and the Johnson Space Center in Texas.


There is a way to avoid a serious dose of radiation while passing through the Van Allen belts by choosing a path that minimizes radiation and shielding the spacecraft.


The seamstresses sewed the suits that engineers designed. International Latex Corporation started out making latex gloves and swimming caps. Eventually they made baby pants and evolved that into latex pants for women to wear in place of corsets. When it looked like there could be trips to space requiring space suits ILC thought it could get into the business. The first space suits were high altitude pressure suits made by BF Goodrich so they had a starting point for development. Their research into fabrics and techniques for the space suits lead to using the technology developed in their clothing
line to make a profit. When they started making space suits, they started using it in their advertising.

Only completely ignorant people would not be concerned about a new virus that was killing so many people. There was no way to tell how bad it could be and how much immunity humans would have to it. There is no way to tell if it would have been worse but ways to treat it were found.
