No amount of solid evidence has ever detracted a conspiracy nut from their pet subject, I don't see why it would be differently this time.<p>Let's see:<p>&#60;conspiracy_nut_mode&#62;<p><pre><code> - the Indians are conspiring with the Americans - the Americans have interfered with the transmissions from the satellite - subtheory 1: they have planted a spy in the place where the satellite was assembled and tampered with the software - an American satellite in orbit around earth messed with the image in transit </code></pre> &#60;/conspirace_nut_mode&#62;<p>And that's without trying really hard.<p>And by having all these people falling over each other to say that this 'rubbishes' the claims of the conspiracy theorists they're giving those idiots way too much credibility, the best thing to do is to ignore them. Post the pictures (which none of those sites do, by the way!) in as high a resolution as you've got and let the rest of the world enjoy them. The nutters will do their thing anyway.<p>The Chandrayaan satellite is a pretty good way for India to show the world that they have a space presence, it can do all kinds of useful stuff, let's not diminish it by just using it to give attention to a bunch of people that really don't deserve any.<p>The media are very much complicit in giving these fools airtime, let's see them give airtime to Chandrayaan without being tied in to that nonsense.

Well I'm sure glad that's settled.
