That's exactly what all those conspiracists and people who just hate America and it's accomplishments are going to say if the Japanese statelite malfunctions, or if they so get to the moon and map the surface, they are just going to say that nasa payed off the Japanese goverment or something to fake the pictures.
Besides, if the current pile of evidence for the Moon landings hasn't convinced some deluded morons, nothing will. Even if you launched them up there personally and let them inspect the site, they'll just claim it was a REALLY elaborate mock-up inside a production studio somewhere.

Mirrors on the moon

Post by Patrick Degan »

Yes, the mirrors were set up by the Apollo XII mission. The experiments also verified a report of a meteor impact upon the lunar surface recorded by Cantebury monks in the 15th century, which nobody was looking for. The lasers picked up a slight vibration off the mirror which indicated that the moon was still "wobbling" a bit from the impact.

Frankly, it seems to me that the Fox-TV special may have been an attempt to gauge just how stupid or uninformed the public at large truly are.

You can't land on an object that doesn't exist.
