Good article.
I didnt know there was a conspiracy surrounding a man landing on the moon


i still wonder how they get the caramel in the caramilk bars





I think we should study that!

Originally posted by Mebot Good article, I read it last night and it puts most claims against the moon landing at rest, however I think that the article was quite rude and biased. They kept saying that people who think the moon-landing didn't happen are "dumb" or "idiots" Respect first, facts second IMO But still for all you nay-sayers read this article, it explains a lot.

Hmmm I missed that ... yes that does a far better job of dispelling the conspiracy theory.

the shadow thing bothers me

if there are multiple sources of light..would the all be the same consistency?

and some photos have only 1 source of light

either way it doesnt matter because they could have accounted for all that when filming it in some wharehouse in hollywood

and moon rocks could have been acquired through a non man based moonlanding that would have cost much less

the thing is, we'll never know 100%

for the record I think they did land...just I dont believe it 100%

since the moon doesn't have any atmosphere, wouldn't the sun be easily able to be tremendously bright and reflected off the ship or even the astronauts white suits?

i think all of this stems from people not wanting to admit that america is DA BOMB hehehehe. thanks occrider for shutting up all the stupid heads...

Couldn't resist...

First of all, I suggest you check out this http://www.badastronomy.com/bad/tv/foxapollo.html site because it explains all the things mentioned in that documentary.

If there were multiple sources of light, then every thing on the picture would have multiple shadows. That is obviously not the case.

Exactly, that's why you can't see the stars in the background. Because cameras are set on low sensitivity.

What about it? Astronauts would receive a whopping 1 rem travelling through it.

It also depends on the reflectivity of the source. Is light from the sun going to reflect at the same intensity off the surface of the moon as it's going to off of the lunar module? No.

Ah I see. Ok well let's think of the alternative. Let's suppose it is ALL a hoax. That it was filmed in the studio and that the actual reflective properties of everything on the moon will only cast one shadow. Now are you trying to say that the super-secretive/super-capable powers that be in the American government created this ultra-elaborate hoax that was able to fool not only you the public, but the soviet government, and every single accredited scientist on the planet AND THEY FORGOT TO TURN OFF A SIMPLE STUDIO LIGHT THAT CAST MULTIPLE SHADOWS THEREBY RUINING THE HOAX????

You would think that they would at least correct armstrong's blunder with another shoot ... remember he said "one small step for man" instead of "one small step for a man"?

Brilliant ... so we WENT to the moon to create a hoax of going to the moon??? And how exactly did we collect over 800lbs of moon rocks in this non man-based landing? Please describe this advanced robotic technology that was capable of collecting lunar samples on its own and returning it to the Earth. Also describe how we were able to do all of this in the 60's whereas we can't even do that on Mars TODAY. It's absolutely amazing to see at what lengths people will believe in the improbable in order to debunk the probable to make the case of improbability.

Yes, yes we will. Here is a photograph of the Apollo 15 landing site taken by a satellite:

It's resolution can only make out the disturbances of the site, however, in the year 2005 when the Japanese Selene satellite orbits the moon to take extremely high resolution mapping scans, I will gladly resurrect this thread to laugh and point.

that's exactly my point. the shadows are the SAME consistency in DIFFERENT directions. but i see yyou feel REALLY strongly about this issue so im not going to argue anymore about any more
