Back to the Moon?

An anonymous reader writes "This BBC story discusses the prospects of probes returning to the moon. The article first mentions the ESA's SMART-1 probe, which will overfly the Apollo landing sites during 2003, and then talks with US scientists about why NASA should send probes back."

I agree

After I saw the documentary claiming it was all a hoax I'm convinced. I think the Russians should send some probes and try to provide "independent" evidence whether the US was there or not. I truly believe it was a hoax.

Unbelieveable that they'd pull something like that...

So many posts about not getting there

Why are so many people so damn ignorant that they actually believe we never went to the moon?

This is a good site, even if they are conspiracy theorists about other coverups and such:

I read quite a lot about this too.. I can't really make up my mind. There were many interesting facts suggesting why man never actually made it to the moon all those years ago - you can make up your own mind by checking out some of the sites listed below. I really cannot make up my mind on this..

Yeah, I've given this a thought, too, and I've seen the photos and what not, but I just don't believe it could be a hoax, because I don't think anybody could keep a secret this big. I mean, the government can barely deliver the mail, I doubt they could fake a project this huge, that received this much media coverage, and involved tens of thousands of people, without it leaking out that it's all fake.
