It's only a product promo, but it's a smart one: Nvidia reckons the judicious application of its graphics technology can debunk one of the world's favourite “moon landing was a hoax conspiracies”.
When asked to remove the demo, a spokesman for the company said "I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that."

It proves nothing of the sort.
It merely means that by changing the data they can simulate the appropriate conditions under which the picture may have been taken.
It does not PROVE that the picture was taken there.

I doubt that anything even the best scientists in the world could come up with would be accepted as a proof by non-believers. And believers already believe. So there is no point in trying to prove it took place, or did not.

wow I didn't know NASA was that clever, fancy knowing in the early 70s that the stars wouldn't be visible from the surface yet still making sure that they were their and could be enhanced by technology 50 years later
kudos to them

So Dave, you asked for the demo to be removed?: Quote: I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that."
Your final sentence: Quote:

has far too many negatives for a Monday morning, I couldn't reduce them with a Karnaugh map, so I'm going home with a headache!

So we're capable of faking it better now. Time for another moon landing.

Mars seems more interesting these days.

Yes, a fake Mars landing is much more better, these days.
And, I'd also favor a fake landing on Saturn's rings. That would be exciting at least.
Give the audience what they want.
I don't want to be mooned any more.

So then Uranus is out of the picture as well ? 
|
|
|
|

I do hope so

But also, I'm scared about why you would even ask!!!!?! Oops, I turned the corner on that one.

In normal circumstances I wouldn't ask but with the potential for a bad joke, anything goes.

Great idea! And just to top the lunar explorers' stunts launching golf balls in low gravity, we can have the team break off one of the smaller rings and fling it like a Frisbee towards Uranus. A ring around Uranus is bound to draw attention.

You are all too late. Landing on planets is now obsolete. People now are landing on the sun.

And there's a Face on Mars so there must be life!!
