This will be a case of Heads NASA lose, tails the HB's win, the likes of Kangaboy, hunchy et al will claim fake evidence and conspiracy, even when supporting evidence is found..

This might be interesting, but I suspect The HB eill find domrthin to squawk about.  I rember marcus Allen  was asked about LRO images and his comment was something to the effect timages  don't make any difference nASA did not send man to thte moon.

and of course they have had over 40 years to place the evidence by with robots..

That's assuming these guys are honest and actually photograph the Apollo landing sites, and not just an empty area of the Moon. I can imagine them intentionally photographing an empty area and saying "See! It's all fake!".

I would say, that if they are going to the trouble of doing this they would be honest about it.. Additionally if that did happen NASA would have to respond as that would definitely cause a reaction..

If this is the same thing I read about the other day, so far all they've done is raise the money to fund the design of a micro-satellite, not much more.

almost any scenario is possible

What will happen is that this will fizzle out after a handful of idiots give them some money.  No spacecraft will be built, let alone launch services procured, let alone flight operations and TT&C services.  The whole thing is a silly fraud.  And "Metro", whatever it is supposed to be, is a brain-dead waste of electrons (and paper, if any of that drivel is actually in printed form).

Very possible.

LOL Adrian is jumping up and down and asking for NASA to officially endorse this.

The only response likely from NASA (only IF the mission went ahead) would be to respect the nature of the historical landing sites..
