That was great. Question...would it'd be possible to image one of the landing sites with the Hubble? If so.. what level of resolution are we talking? Could a Hubble photo rival that of the LRO?

Unfortunately no. Hubble's highest resolution of 0.03 arcsec cannot resolve the landing hardware, which is more like 0.002 arcsec.

If only it would be enough to shut up conspiracy nuts. Alas...:(

Nothing coming from NASA can convince conspiracy theorists. I guess we'll have to wait for either China, Google or somebody else to send a robot there for that particular conspiracy to die out.
