You could get off the launch pad in 67 and you flew around the moon a year later. A year later you landed on the moon. If it were all true they would've test flown the lander in space in 68.

They did. Apollo 5 tested the lunar module unmanned in orbit around the Earth in 1968.

The lander was never tested.

See above.

You build all of your apoolo equipment without the aid of CAD, because it never existed at the time. You pulled off all of this stuff 3 years before the pocket calculator was even available.
|
All sorts of things were designed and built without CAD and pocket calculators. From a design point of view, why was it necessary for anything to do with Apollo?

How long would it take to refit the shuttle to fly around the moon if it was really doable..?
|
It's not doable. The Shuttle was never designed to go to the Moon, and more than an oil tanker is designed to take paying passengers.
I say a lot more than that. An entirely new vehicle would be required.

Why haven't they sent a probe to take pics of the Apollo junk left on the moon..?
|
Why should they? To satisfy you? Anyway, NASA will be sending a spacecraft to the Moon in a couple of years, and it should be able to image the larger things left on the surface of the Moon.

Because there is nothing to take a pic of, that's why.

What will you say when these images appear? That they were faked? Or that NASA sent stuff to the Moon to make it look like they were there?
Moon Man, please understand you've said nothing which people at this board haven't heard many times. We've asked you to answer a number of questions which go to the heart of this matter, so we'd appreciate your answers.
Cheers
