Conspiracies - The Moon Landings And The Men In Black

[10ClarionSt]

I don't know who believes these or not, but there are a couple of things that weren't mentioned in both of these. Firstly, with the moon landings, we see fantastic photos that are alleged to have been taken on the moon. Anyone who knows anything about photography will tell you that even small doses of radiation will totally destroy photo film, yet the cameras used are seen openly mounted on the front of the astronauts. How could the film survive all the radiation throughout the missions? This is something that has never been mentioned. Now, "The Men In Black". We are told that they always appear after UFO sightings and will intimidate people into withdrawing claims of sightings and making them sign affidavits that they will never talk about what they saw. Apparently nobody knows who the men in black are or who they work for, so where do the affidavits go? They must be filed somewhere. I'm just, like, saying. Y'know?

When the Americans landed men on the moon they were in a race with the USSR to do so. If they hadn't actually done it, don't you think the Ruskies would have been screaming?

What 'radiation' would that be ? There is no more radiation on the Moon than here on Earth.

^I agree.

//Anyone who knows anything about photography will tell you that even small doses of radiation will totally destroy photo film, yet the cameras used are seen openly mounted on the front of the astronauts. //

I bet NASA knows about photography. If that's true - and I know nothing about photography - would they have made such a fundamental error that could be so easily spotted?

I think the Men in Black exist only in Hollywood film studios.

^I was agreeing with Hopkirk. The Russians would have had something to say about it.

I would love to know how video and speech were sent from the moon in 1969 when even today many homes in the UK can't get a broadband speed fast enough to watch video.

[EDDIE51]

Clarion, do you actually know anything about radiation?
Can you name the 3 types of radiation and their properties ?

I don't believe the moon landings. It was fake. When they planted the flag, it was slightly blowing and there is supposed to be no breeze up there.

[EDDIE51]

hc4361 standard TV broadcast was used, no video was taken only TV from mobile cameras and the one on the lander.

[naomi24]

What about all the other moon landings? All fake?

[bibblebub]

it doesn't require wind for there to be slight movement of a flag on the moon

[paddywak]

I'm no a big believer in conspiracy theories,as hopkirk says with the moon landings the Russians were watching closely,and so were thousands of people round the world.also the number of people actually involved in the program would make it very hard if not impossible to contain.The only one that I sort of believe in is JFK there just seems like there are to many things that don't seem right.

The waving flag has been explained. You pick something up like that, the move it and stand it up and the flag will unfurl a bit. And then there's nothing to stop it moving so it carries on moving

[Canary42]

Having actually witnessed the first moon landing live on TV in July 1966 (launched on my 24th birthday incidentally), I have severe doubts about the conspiracy theory claims.

[naomi24]

^1969. You were 27.

[EDDIE51]

Clarion there are types of radiation, Alfa, Beta and Gamma.
Alfa is stopped even by a single sheet of paper, Beta is stopped by a very thin layer of metal or other material , while Gamma can pass through metal.
There is only Gamma in space and that is at the same level as here on Earth.
Which is so low it can only be measured with instruments such as a Geiger counter.

are you 3 years older than you think, canary?
