http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gall–Peters_projection

"In 1967 Arno Peters, a filmmaker and historian, devised a map projection identical to Gall's orthographic projection and presented it in 1973 as a "new invention." He promoted it as a superior alternative to the Mercator projection, which was suited to navigation but also used commonly in world maps. The Mercator projection increasingly inflates the sizes of regions according to their distance from the equator. This inflation results, for example, in a representation of Greenland that is larger than Africa, whereas in reality Africa is 14 times as large. Since much of the technologically underdeveloped world lies near the equator, these countries appear smaller on a Mercator, and therefore, according to Peters, seem less significant. On Peters's projection, by contrast, areas of equal size on the globe are also equally sized on the map. By using his "new" projection, poorer, less powerful nations could be restored to their rightful proportions. "

The Peters map has been subject to considerable academic controversy. Nevertheless it could be used to compare sizes though the shapes might be wrong. One cartographic source states: “While the Peters projection does (almost)represent land of equal area equally, all map projections distort the shape of the earth, a sphere. All maps distort distance, shape, area, or direction to present a map that meets the users' needs. This is due to the fact that you can't make a completely accurate map from a spherical earth. However, neither the Peters map nor the Mercator map are aesthetically pleasing nor do they giveanyone a good indication of what the earth really looks like (such as if you're looking at a globe). John Snyder of the U.S. Geological Survey stated that the Peter's map "isn't any better than similar maps that have been in use for 400 years."

I appreciate that this has not much to do with Moon landings or trading but my USA trading is slow today

What makes you think they have only been to the moon! Black Box projects have been going on since the cold war and it's no secret they understand more about gravity than they care to admit. Last I read there was over 4000 classified patents and since 911 they have tightened control even more. I remember seeing a video on you tube with an interview with a senior scientist from Lockheed Martin where he showed some experiments that twisted the laws of physics.

I personally don't think the earth is the only life bearing planet out there, not when our galaxy alone contains billions of stars - let alone the billions of galaxies out there.
If roswell was true, and there is significant evidence of a cover up and also ongoing visual encounters from very reputable people, some of which where in significant positions of responsibility, then they have had over 50 years to back engineer their craft.

So back to my first sentence, forget the moon, where have they been that we don't know about?

Horse dung. How TF do they have the square mileage of a country and they can't draw up a flattened out map? Shape + Area to scale = good enough

There's plenty of evidence to suggest They visit Milton Keynes regularly.
