You quite often see this image touted around as some sort of proof of something or other - "Hey look, they used models":

It's currently on Rasa's fb group with someone using it as an example of how "they" could simulate it.
It got me thinking - I wonder where that photo is that he's holding, how big an area we looking at here? I mean, obviously it's a large curved model so it must be big, but hoaxers are dumb and they need the obvious pointing out to them.
After some hunting I found it - it's the red square here:
and here it is in close-up:
It's an area around 570km by 570km. It's huge.
Just one thing though - it's all upside down! This is the actual orientation as we see it:
So there we are. Next time somone tries their big "a-haaa" - ask them to point out an Apollo landing site on it.
On the subject of models, someone else has posted this on that same group:
I can tell him the tools we use: our eyes. What happens when the get closer and closer to the model's surface no additional detail is resolved. What happens with the Apollo footage is that more and more detail is resolved. Details unknown prior to the footage being taken. Details confirmed by numerous post-Apollo photos. The special ability is "using your brain". Oh..wait...
