Did USA land on the moon

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 12-01-01] [Hit: ]
I believe it is possible now to take pictures of these items from an orbiting probe.Will NASA do it and prove to the world that they actually did land on the moon?-The current probes that just went into orbit, dont have cameras, since that isnt what they were designed to do. The two probes (GRAIL A & B) and designed to look for changes in the lunar gravity.......
Previously I have asked a question here about if it is possible to see items left by supposed astronauts who landed on the moon, and I was answered it is impossible, the distance between moon and earth and the size of the items will make it impossible.

Today, NASA has sent new two probes to orbit the moon and scan it, one of them entered the orbit and the other will do in the next few hours.

Will NASA do it and prove to the world that they actually did land on the moon?

There is already a probe in orbit taking pictures of the lunar surface and has already taken pictures, multiple times, of all not only all the manned landing sites, but several of the unmanned missions, including the Soviet rovers.

Not only has there been American probes orbiting the moon for some time, but Japanese, Chinese and India as well.

And the reflectors left on the moon by both the US and Soviet missions are still in use today.
