For The Morons Who Think The Moon Landings Were Faked.....

[ToraToraTora]

watch "click" on the BBC this week. The usual "anomalies" explained, again, but some interesting new explanations demonstrating that it was actually more difficult to fake than to go there.

[ToraToraTora]

oh know! ummmm are you a reluctant hoaxer?

[ludwig]

You don't even need a scientific debunking of alot of these 'anomalies'. Common sense should be enough.

e.g one of the many things these eejits point to as evidence of fakery is that there are no stars in the background.

Ok, think it through for a sec.....these cunning people went to all the trouble of constructing this elaborate hoax but no-one realised at any point they'd forgotten to put a few stars in space? or noticed that the flag was flapping in the wind, and thought to take that shot again as it might give the game away?

[ToraToraTora]

the fluttering flag is my favourite! plonkers!

thanks for the BA. :-)

It was on "Click" last week. They didn't make a convincing argument. I watched the moon landings live. They walked on the moon the day before my 21st birthday. I think it was possible to fake the landings but I'm not convinced they did fake them. In all the arguments and counter-arguments there is one thing that I haven't heard a good explanation about and that is when the capsule seperates from the lunar lander to rejoin the orbiter. There is no rocket exhaust; no jet blast as it takes off. The argument is that it was yanked off with a cable. Was it? Then there are the photos of the area where the lander is supposed to be. They match precisely, testing areas in the Nevada desert. The argument from "Click" is that the technology existed to go to the moon, but not to be able to fake it. I think that's a bit weak in itself. Did we go to the moon? I'd hate to think it was a con as it was very exciting just to be part of the world-wide audience.

"when the capsule seperates from the lunar lander to rejoin the orbiter. There is no rocket exhaust; no jet blast as it takes off." - cont find it at the mo but there is a video of the lift off from the moon showing dust and the flag almost blown away.

[10ClarionSt]

I'm not supporting this theory, TTT. In that sequence there is no jet blast from the rocket motors. There was one of those sceptical guys on an earlier programme who made this point. He said the blast was from wind generators (not the local curry joint!). He said he was a rocket specialist who had worked on rocket engines for NASA, and the blast off from the lunar surface was a fake.

I think the ultimate proof is that the Russians have never declared it faked - and they watched it like hawks!

[jim360]

That just proves the Russians are in on it.

[naomi24]

Well, they would be...

[ummmm]

No TTT...

[maggiebee]

No 1 Moron here. Yes, I think it was faked. Moonraker did a better job.

[ToraToraTora]

to the hoaxers, just tell me how the moon rocks got here. They've been examined by 1000s of geologist in labs all over the world. No one has ever doubted they came from the moon.

[10ClarionSt]

Not entirely true, Naomi. The Russians published photos of the Nevada Desert, that matched exactly, the area of the moon that the Americans said they had landed on. As I recall, that was included in the original documentary, which was narrated by Mitch Paleggi. Have I spelt his name right? :o)

[ToraToraTora]

maggie, why doesn't that suprise me, have you seen Moonraker? The moon isn't involved.

[ToraToraTora]

10cs those land shots have been debunked, in fact there is a guy who can take any moon picture and find a location on earth were it was "filmed" - easy one, they are not "exact" for a start, far from it.

Maggie, where did the moon rocks come from?

[10ClarionSt]

Just one thing about lasers. I'm no expert, but from news reports back in the 80's, Reagans' "Star Wars Initiative" had to be abandoned because the idea of using lasers to knock out incoming missiles wouldn't have worked simply because the influence of gravity on the laser beams would prevent them travelling in straight lines. Wobbly lasers! I often wondered about that when they were saying that lasers were left on the moon and only turned off last year.

For a moment there I thought you said Miss Piggy. :o)

[vulcan42]

" That just proves the Russians are in on it."
So what do you think jim360, that the Americans actually launched Sputnik 1 but said to the Soviet Union " you take the credit for this in exchange for saying the future moon landing is real"? Yeah, that's something that both countries would agree to.

[10ClarionSt]

"Pigs In Space"! What did that used to be on? :o)
