		<description>"...proving once and for all that the Apollo 11 astronauts, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, arrived on the Moon July 20, 1969."

First off, I believe we landed on the moon. I believe we landed when NASA said we did, the number of times NASA said we did, etc. However, the above statement is ripe for disappointment. Sadly, here is how conspiracy fans will respond:

1) They will say these photos are just new fakes. 
2) They will say that even if these photos are real, they don't show the Lunar Lander. They could be photos of anything.
3) When photos with better resolution are released, conspiracy fans will say they too have been faked. 
4) The creative and/or semi-reasonable conspiracy folks will acknowledge these photos are real. But they will say that we didn't land on the moon in 1969, etc. Instead, we landed on the Moon more recently when technology finally became ready. And these photos are of Lunar Landers planted after the fact. 

Again, I personally believe we landed on the moon, if for no other reason than it is much easier to believe we actually did then that we didn't. Sorry to be the realist, but if the original photos/footage didn't convince conspiracy fans, than the above grainy photos won't either. Too bad there aren't any Mars-style faces in any of the above photos. THEN the conspiracy fans would believe the photos are real, and prove extraterrestrial involvement. 

P.S. Ms. Zabala-Aliberto, don't let my pessimism get you down. I love the optimism and passion in your post. Keep up the great work.</description>
