Interesting comment. Your initial post referred to NASA. The one referred to has NSA. There are both. The question was legit: is NSA what you meant or was it typo? (NSA only takes images of the earth.)

Thank you, I was legitimately​ wondering if he meant the National Security Agency or National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Since they are both US Government agencies, I can't figure out what was "infantile" about my question.

I'm amending my own comment to ad this, I think the OP is trolling everyone.

He has stated:

"Digital photography made a giant leap in 1964 with the development of the Spacecraft Television Ground Data Handling System. It also was a groundbreaker in the use of bar code. "

And;

" I was part of the development team. I hope that you can understand what I have just provided you better than the image that you continue to ridicule. You can thank people like me for not having to buy film for your Instamatic."

First we have:

Early history of the Digital camera:


The history of the digital camera began with Eugene F. Lally of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, who was thinking about how to use a mosaic photosensor to capture digital images. His 1961 idea was to take pictures of the planets and stars while travelling through space to give information about the astronauts' position. Unfortunately, as with Texas Instruments employee Willis Adcock's filmless camera (US patent 4,057,830) in 1972, the technology had yet to catch up with the concept.

Steven Sasson as an engineer at Eastman Kodak invented and built the first electronic camera using a charge-coupled device image sensor in 1975.


Early history of the barcode:

On 20 October 1949 Woodland and Silver filed a patent application for "Classifying Apparatus and Method", in which they described both the linear and bullseye printing patterns, as well as the mechanical and electronic systems needed to read the code. The patent was issued on 7 October 1952 as US Patent 2,612,994. In 1951, Woodland moved to IBM and continually tried to interest IBM in developing the system. The company eventually commissioned a report on the idea, which concluded that it was both feasible and interesting, but that processing the resulting information would require equipment that was some time off in the future.

IBM offered to buy the patent, but its offer was not high enough. Philco purchased their patent in 1962 and then sold it to RCA sometime later.



And if the OP was involved with all of that advanced thinking and technology from 1949 to 1975, Why does he need to photograph is monitor? Hell my phone is capable of saving screenshots.


End of rant.

You're looking at some blurred rocks in a crater with the whole picture slightly out of focus and you skyrocket to the conclusion it's a construct made by intelligent beings?

Nice of you to mention Gene Lally and JPL. We, at the Western Development Lab of Link-General Precision, designed and built the Spacecraft Television Ground Data Handling System for them. As to why I photographed the screen: I normally save screen images by right clicking and selecting "save image". This did not work for the LROC website.

No one has mentioned the fact that there is no oxygen on the moon. How are intelligent beings (or unintelligent ones) supposed to breathe?

Looks like the remains of the original "Lunar Twin Towers" that were taken out in the Venetian/ Martian war back in the early 1950's...remember seeing that on TV when I was a kid...

I can see a square / rectangular shape to the possible structure. I don't see it as a crater within a crater. Not round enough in my opinion. I keep an open mind and there is much compelling research available as to certain anomalies and their possible origins on the Moon and Mars.

NASA of course. My keyboard needs to be banned, it spelled something wrong on me.

Looks like a fort like structure with 3 towers and walls.

You know there are.. hu.. spacesuits?

If a race could travel trough the universe easily. I dont think a simple suit to breath oxygen (if they even breath that) would be a problem.

In all honesty, I like the spell checking on the computer; it leaves control of it to you. The one I cannot stand is the one on Stupid (the name I have given to to my cell phone; believe me, it deserves it) is terrible and it keeps changing what I type without me knowing it. It will even do it when I hit send and have already checked it. In my error of typing NSA instead of NASA, it was a simple thing of me not catching it before I hit send.
