Hard questions to the straw man from the windy man. Fair enough. I will address them.

I clearly state that I find the scope of perpetrating such hoax as cost, time, and energy prohibative for me. Therfore I do not percieve of it being done for a lark without some gain. I would take on such work as a project for hire given sufficient budget. Otherwise I would not even consider it.

You claim it would be relativly easy. Do that.

Choose a different area of the moon. Create a realistic three D model such that from three angles dimensional shift keeps perspective changes. Match the landscape and include enough craters to pass as being authentic. Pick an interesting and suggestive natural shape, does not have to be a ship just something I can relate to, and turn it into a structured object. Keep it close enough in shape to the real landscape feature that I might believe it. Now create at least two fly overs where we see authentic moon detail and the object being examined in detail. Be sure your three metrics have different shadow angles from the original source of moon data.

Create an Apollo mission with its own unique interior aspects so it is not just a copy of a known mission. Show the examination of a body of your choice and include a clip of an astronaut of your choice. Make sure that I cannot search a public archive and know from where the clip came.

If you are not willing to do that then please withrdraw your claim of how easy it would be to accomplish this hoax. Accomplish it within a reasonable budget and time frame and I will believe your statement. It does not have to be foolproof but it does have to be good enough to convince me that it is deserving of consideration. If I find gross evidence of hoax it fails.

Meanwhile I am going to spend about a week producing detailed pixs showing the points and methods I used to make the comparisons of the images. In that I will address the differences between images of the large scale verses the small scale. Also I will address the cherry picking reference. I will clearly address every comparison I make and why. I will answer any question that you have on this. I will post this as an on line document or offer it as a downloadable PDF file, that choice is yours. If I find anything that I overlooked to refute my statements I will include that. When th CD's of the clementine data arrive I will present anything I find to refute or support.

I note that you offered no opinion of the youtube clip where two former employees state that NASA has perpetrated a hoax that no alien artifacts or artificial structures have ever been found. Former employee Clark C. McClelland has claimed that he was dismissed from NASA in 1992 for making those same claims.

I have no personal knowledge of this and know nothing of the validity of those claims. However distasteful disclosures made decades after the fact, that I do have some knowledge of, make me unwilling to accept without question all that the our government states. Do not necesarily doubt them either, just believe that anything I find questionable needs to be investigated. Do not believe our government has anything but our best interests in mind, but lack of oversight can lead to abuse and good intentions gone awry.
