lmao

I read alot on those pages, ahha. There's some pretty interesting stuff.

There's one page just talking about the photos that were supposedly taken on the moon. Here's an overview:

- 5771 photographs were taken in 4834 minutes on the moon's surface.

- the astronauts had MANY OTHER TASKS OTHER THAN PHOTOGRAPHY

Apollo 11........one photo every 15 seconds
Apollo 12........one photo every 27 seconds
Apollo 14........one photo every 62 seconds
Apollo 15........one photo every 44 seconds
Apollo 16........one photo every 29 seconds
Apollo 17........one photo every 26 seconds

- each shot was pretty much perfect, no overexposure, underexposure, blur, or out of focus.

- the cameras were mounted on a chest-plate for the astronaut to operate. The astronaut had to manually set the shutter speed and apertures while wearing bulky, pressurized gloves and without being able to see the controls. The cameras had NO VIEWFINDER, so the astronaut could only guess at what was being photographed. Each camera had a bulk film magazine holding more than a hundred exposures. The film (mainly Ektachrome color film) had a very narrow exposure range, which required PERFECT aperture and shutter settings, because according to NASA, the cameras did not have automatic exposure capability.

(note the camera was attached to the center of the astronauts spacesuits).

















Seems like alot of inconsistancies and other things that seem kinda hard to explain..

Just one point though:

If the moon landings were fake, would this not have been great material for the Soviets, with it being at the height of the Cold War? If it was all a hoax, surely Soviet intelligence would have been onto it like a shot and it would have been capitalised upon?

But was the moon landing already dispelled during the Cold War?

I feel like these song lyrics might be relevant to this thread.

Now the song does say they sent a rocket to the moon ..... maybe they meant they sent astronauts ... or maybe they are suggesting the US never really made it there who knows ...


They Might Be Giants - All Alone


Once upon a time, they sent a rocket to the moon
With scientific instruments to test conditions there
But just before they closed the door
One scientist expelled a germ
That accidentally found its way aboard and stowed away

For three years it remained undetected on the moon
It was the only living creature there

"I'm all alone
I'm all alone
Behold the mystery that is me"

Then one day the scientists recovered all their gear
Excited by the prospect of unearthly things inside
They found, to their astonishment, a living thing within
It seemed to bear good tidings from somewhere in outer space

"You're not alone
You're not alone
Behold the mystery that is me"

Soon they figured out the heinous error they had made
And now the earthly germ had something else it seemed to say...

"We're all alone
We're all alone
Behold the mystery
Behold the mystery"

Instead of picking random stuff from websites and reaching an obvious conclusion that it was all fake, why don't you take the time out and read how the hoax theories have been debunked by sound scientific explainations ? you will find a lot of websites doing that.

Here for instance is one :



THesis : Should the sun have been the only source, all shadows ought to be parallel to each other. However, one can clearly see that not all of them are, which indicates falsification.

Antithesis: This argument is apparently void of all consequential thought. The problem lies in the lack of understanding about perspectives and projections of three-dimensional objects on two-dimensional plains. Aberrations are unavoidable. Shadows of objects will only appear parallel if the area upon which the shadows are thrown, are themselves even and if these shadows are regarded from a great distance, thereby minimizing perspective aberration

Clicky for a number of such explainations.

^^ hahaha. awesome work there omega_m.

so yeah, how do you crazy nutcase tinfoil-hat wearing idiots like those logical apples?

penn & teller covered this conspiracy theory in an episode of Bullshit!. It's really mostly propounded by people who do faulty research.

I think the most compelling reason that we actually did go to the moon is that the US government SUCKS at keeping secrets. Think of the massive number of people who would have to be keeping this from the people. It's just not possible logistically.

You can't.

A few (if not all) individuals need irrational beliefs (to some degree), in order to satisfy some fear and or finitude of existence: superstition, religion, conspiracy theory... it's all the same.

do u take courses in philosophy ?

and i beg to differ with regards to religion. if correctly understood, religion is precisely the path towards experiencing the infinitude of existance

Yes, why?

As for "religion being precisely the path towards experiencing the infinitude of existence", I believe I agree with you to some extent (i.e. it could be a way of dealing with our finitude, although it's unlikely to get anywhere), but I'm interested in listening to your views

well the things you wrote in that post made me suspect you'r taking philosophy

And I am not a christian. I'm a Hindu. I don't know what Bible says or how it's interpreted by people. As I understand, religion is a way of making us realize the infinitude of a human being and of nature in general. It does not declare that you should believe the preachings just because the book or the saint says so. No. It provides logical and structred ways founded on reason and intelligence to actually experience this fact for ourselves.

I don't know whether this ^^ makes sense to you. However, this is not a topic of COR. It will come under unnecessary ridicule. So I would rather not comment more here.

That's really interesting. I will respect your decision not to talk about it in this topic, but I'm looking forward to reading more on Hinduism - I'm adding Wikipedia's entries on it to my "to read" list

thanks i appreiate that do read about Hinduism. If you have any doubts feel free to PM me. I might be able to clarify things a little bit

I was going to post my opinion about the moon landing but if I did, I'd be breaking the ice between Omega_M and Lira.

that you have anyways, so you might as well post your opinion about the moon

i shit rockets that fly into space like the bugs from starship troopers movie.
but instead of blue rockets they are brown and messy.

OK then. I want to know why neither the Earth nor the stars are shown in the background of any of the shots.




A 'rocket' landing in this moon is more believable.
