John Lewis delivering to Taurus-Littrow
« on: November 06, 2015, 03:47:25 PM »
John Lewis Christmas advert

A lonely grandpa appears to be living on the shores of Mare Crisium, but it may be fake.  Mocked up in Taurus-Littrow it seems it looks like.  I think I can identify East Massif.

Sweet, but how long will it be until a hoaxer uses it as "evidence" that we should see the Apollo hardware with a small amateur refractor?

A point on the original ad. Yes it is supposed to be symbolic so we won't go through the multitude of problems with the science of this video.. BUT, if it is meant to be symbolic and the girl sends the man a telescope, surely she has now made his plight far worse? He is now isolated, but has now been made fully aware of his isolation!

I like the real images rather than the imaginary ones. :)

There's a reason for that...  John Lewis Christmas advert: who is Moon Hitler?

That's what I thought. That would be utter torture to see the world enjoying itself.
