They aren't lying about not being able to resolve lunar landing sites with Hubble. I suggest you read your own referenced Website: http://oposite.stsci.edu/pubinfo/pr/1999/14/pr-photos.html Note the part near the bottom which reads: (lower right) A close-up view of Copernicus' terraced walls. Hubble can resolve features as small as 280 feet across. 280 feet is a bit larger than a LEM, much less a LEM pad, no? Can Hubble do better than this? Not according to basic optical physics. A mirror about 2 meters across imaging something 220,000 miles away in blue light (which would give maximum resolution), can only barely resolve features about 280 feet across. Sorry, that's just the way it is. No lies by NASA here. David Rudiak
