Yes, and as "excuses" go, it's a very good one.

What you want to see isn't physically possible.

Example. I like taking photos of the night sky. Here's one of the aurora from my front deck. I'd be the first to admit it's not a very good one, but has the benefit of being one I took myself.

This shot would be impossible to take at the moment (it's full daylight here right now), but even this evening, it would be impossible due to it being full moon (and I don't want to get into a discussion about Rayleigh scattering right now. Look it up. And yes, you don't get anything like the same degree of scattering on the moon due to the abscence of a thick atmosphere.)

If it were bright enough to see and photograph the objects on the other side of the lake (without that scattering), and you set your camera to capture those, the light would be just to bright to capture the stars as well.

It's just how cameras work.

I know how cameras work. It's a shame they weren't here on earth and get photos like this.

So you send someone to the moon and you don't take a decent camera with you to take shots of space and document the marvels of space?

Really?
