View Full Version : The Apollo Moon Missions Were Faked
FatFreddy 04-14-12, 02:23 PM I made a post supporting the hoax theory on a thread in another section and I was told it would be more appropriate to discuss it here so here's a link to the post.

Here's my latest post.

We can continue the discussion here.
Buddha12 04-14-12, 02:47 PM Why discuss this? You seem to already know the truth so I'll just let you think whatever you want to about it and I will think the way I do about it and therefore there's nothing to discuss for we both are right in our own way of thinking.:)
Believe 04-14-12, 02:50 PM Google search picture of the moon landing from earth. Also, look into the reflective targets that were left on the moon by the astronauts. Anyone with a powerful enough laser and a detector can see them from earth.
Here is the one thing none of the "Conspiricy theories" never address. Why? What good would it do for us to fake the moon landing, besides getting caught and embarrased when someone talked? Also, if we faked the moon landing don't you think other countries would know? Any one of them would be able to triangulate the positions of the radio transmissions comming from our ships, and have tracked them on radar. Why would they keep it a secret? What benifit would Russia have gotten out of this durring the cold war? They could have embarressed us with this knowledge.

So what your saying is 2+2=5 if I think it does?
Buddha12 04-14-12, 02:57 PM So what your saying is 2+2=5 if I think it does?
No, I'm saying that theories about things are abundant and as long as the majority of people understand what the truth is, according to facts, then those who think otherwise should be left alone so they don't upset the rest of us who know better. I just think that by allowing others to think they are right would be better than to start arguing over something as frivolous as a faked moon landing.

Why is it frivolous? I'm in the US and it's a matter of national pride here. Also, you think its better to just leave someone ignorant instead of showing them the truth?
We can continue the discussion here.
What is there to discuss? Your big smoking gun is the flag. Really, all I can say is holy crap this is so sad. You might as well say that part of the conspiracty is that the moon is actually a big man made satellite. The proof is that during an eclipse the shadow looks red and it should be blue. Hey wait a minute I may have something there....:rolleyes:
Hey have you seen the faked photoshopped pictures from space?

You have not addressed my question, why did no other country, especially our ENEMY AT THE TIME RAT US OUT???????????? You also cannot answer what exactly we could have gained?

But if there are but a few people who think we did not land a man on the moon what difference will it make to the majority of those who know otherwise? To argue with someone over whether they are right or wrong won't ever convince them that are wrong but only make them more steadfast in their views so they won't ever change. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink, as the saying goes.

-------------------------------------
Several motives have been suggested for the U.S. government to fake the moon landings - some of the recurrent elements are:
Distraction - The U.S. government benefited from a popular distraction to take attention away from the Vietnam war. Lunar activities did abruptly stop, with planned missions cancelled, around the same time that the US ceased its involvement in the Vietnam War.
Cold War Prestige - The U.S. government considered it vital that the U.S. win the space race with the USSR. Going to the Moon, if it was possible, would have been risky and expensive. It would have been much easier to fake the landing, thereby ensuring success.
Money - NASA raised approximately 30 billion dollars pretending to go to the moon. This could have been used to pay off a large number of people, providing significant motivation for complicity. In variations of this theory, the space industry is characterized as a political economy, much like the military industrial complex, creating fertile ground for its own survival.
Risk - The available technology at the time was such that there was a good chance that the landing might fail if genuinely attempted.

Hasn't worked for you before, so what makes you think it will work here?
David C 04-15-12, 12:02 PM Well, your credibility is shot. Everybody look at the info in post #13.
And who are you exactly, who determines what is or is not credible based on your own misguided opinion? The post you reference gives a very good assessment on why your claim is invalid.
Indeed, as somebody who has posted the same claims on over 100 different fora how can you claim to have any credibility. Your modus operandi is to make these same claims ad nauseum, whilst steadfastly refusing to debate in good faith. Your every reply has been made before and relies on cut and paste of what appears to be a carefully scripted sequence.
Let's hear some actual analyses of the proof instead of all this empty rhetoric.
You do not understand what the word proof means. It is not something that exists entirely in your own mind, and every person who totally disagrees with it(and there have been so, so many over the years you have been doing this) does not automatically become a shill.
Give us your analyses of these two videos.
To what end? You have been given hundreds of opinions previously, yet you always fail to respond to the questions back at you and ignore them without giving credible responses as to why they are wrong.
Apollo 15 flag moving video
It is either ground vibration, a camera blooming effect or less likely static discharge in a vacuum(which is quite considerably more than in atmosphere).
Why didn't Jarrah White's flag demonstration move the flag from even a few feet away. It was 90 degrees to him yet it barely moved until he was level.
If you are a legitimate truther, this glaring anomaly alone would surely make you question your own claims. In addition, please explain giving examples and supporting physics, how a human being will create a moving air wave in front of him 5 feet away. The flagpole moves, yet from other fora you claim not to even see this, or insist the footage has been doctored - all this whilst not verifying this by doing it yourself. If you did so, you would see that all this time you have been quite painfully wrong.
Youtube search for this "GJ888vXaKNM" (unable to post links)
Apollo 17 flag video
Is it plausible that Cernan merely gave this a counter twist? If not, please give valid reasons as to why not.
Here is a video back at you of the sequence from Apollo 17, that demonstrates some extremely odd movements and the flag itself moving at x1.5 speed. It does not look right, and meanwhile Schmitt makes a small hop/jump that is too slow for terrestrial gravity. Got any explanations for this(apart from the easy to verify - it was doctored claim:rolleyes:)?
Youtube search for this "sc6sqIe3Aio"

FatFreddy 04-15-12, 02:59 PM It is either ground vibration, a camera blooming effect or less likely static discharge in a vacuum(which is quite considerably more than in atmosphere).
This video shows that it actually moves so it can't be the blooming effect.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFMpmjEv9o0
The nature of the movement is consistent with the atmosphere explanation and inconsistent with the ground vibration explanation. The support rod doesn't move as it would have if ground vibration had caused the pole to move.
Anyone can hang a light piece of cloth from a ceiling light and trot by it at a forty five degree angle and exactly duplicate the movement.

The corner of Collins' jacket bounces around the way it would in gravity when they were supposed to be halfway to the moon.
Look at the corners of the jacket the woman astronaut is wearing in this clip.

That is real zero-gravity and they behave quite differently.
The movement of Collins' jacket corner is very different from that of the straps in this clip which is in zero-G.

It looks the same as the movement of this guy's jacket corners in gravity.

Obviously, they weren't halfway to the moon as Collins' jacket corner bounces around the way it would in gravity. I put a light jacket on a coat hanger and bounced it up and down and I was able to exactly duplicate the movement of Collins' Jacket corner. Anyone can try this.

Explain why the clearly dusty surface does not also blow in this wind.
Also, the jacket clearly continues to hang to the mans side instead of falling back against him as it would have done in gravity. Way to post a video that disproves your argument.

David C 04-15-12, 04:29 PM This video shows that it actually moves so it can't be the blooming effect.
Naaah. That video shows one corner not the whole thing. The whole flag and the pole shifts right.
The nature of the movement is consistent with the atmosphere explanation
Yeah, you avoided explaining this. Which explanation are you referring to? You see, when I look at air movement dynamics, I don't see air being pushed 4/5/6 feet in front of anything, let alone a slow moving human. Now quit with the tap dancing and show me some examples of this pluse the physics to prove it, because my bs-meter is off the scale.
and inconsistent with the ground vibration explanation. The support rod doesn't move as it would have if ground vibration had caused the pole to move.
Why would the top rod need to move? The vertical rod absorbs the vibration and the flag has a little jiggle as a result. Besides, the movement is so small and the film quality so bad, it is difficult to see either way.
Anyone can hang a light piece of cloth from a ceiling light and trot by it at a forty five degree angle and exactly duplicate the movement.
Well that is a crock. Firstly a ceiling light only offers one point of support, it isn't anchored into a very sound conductive surface, it doesn't have a vertical and horizontal support and well, it's a cloth not nylon.:rolleyes:
This video shows that the astronaut couldn't have touched it as it started moving before his arm got close to it.
No. That video shows what appears to be a small movement before he ran past it brushing his arm. Jarrah White himself concluded that he could have hit the flag, but then goes on to say it didn't matter because it moved before he got there. That is irrelevant to whether he could have hit it. He could have and almost certainly did.
Jarrah was running by it a bit faster than the Apollo astronaut and the angle was different. I don't see how this proves anything.
You can't see that a faster approach to a more square on flag that doesn't show any movement until he is level disproves your main claim? You don't see that? You are full of it. Now stop tap dancing and give me a proper answer. Why wouldn't a faster approach and a square on flag MORE LIKELY to move, NOT MOVE when Jarrah does his foot shooting experiment?
Here's another anomaly that's too clear to obfuscate.
No, it is so clear he is in zero-g it is beyond belief that you suggest the opposite.
On youtube search for "michael collins jacket" - it brings up a series of videos where your whole argument is torn to smithereens. This is where you start using ad-hominems to say the man who made them is discredited because of some bs about Chinese spacewalks;)

It isn't a tactic, it shows your ridiculous obsession with this subject. My arguments stand no matter what name I use, now go back to Pravda/Debatepolitics/Spursforum and tell everybody how you are winning and the nasty pro-Apollo people are picking on you!

...so he obviously doesn't even believe his own arguments.
Anyone can make a jacket corner bounce up and down exactly the way Collins' does by hanging a loose jacket on a coat hanger and bouncing it up and down and anyone can duplicate the movement of the Apollo flag by hanging a loose piece of cloth on a ceiling light and trotting by it at a forty five degree angle . Those two anomalies are simply too clear to obfuscate.

Spam. Identical answers to those given at JREF. And as predicted the ad hominem for betamax101 and the truly moronic reference to the supposed fake Chinese spacewalks. I too believe my own arguments and I say Apollo happened, the flag was not moved by air, Collins was in zero-g and you haven't got a clue. You have no credibility or the slightest hint of being able to debate any issue whilst adressing all the evidence, without showing the most uniformed biased opinion I have seen.
The Collins Jacket Non Issue
You said this....
"Her hair flops up and down"
followed by -
"her hair has no tendency to go downward"

Face it these photos are proof that this theory of yours has not only been a total waste of your time, but an EPIC FAIL.

Holy crap your right! Then I realized that there is not one single picture from a telescope on earth of the supposed volcanoes on Jupiter’s moon Io. Ha! Explain that!
Sweet Jesus, first it is earth’s moon they are lying about, but now it is even the moons of Jupiter. Will the madness ever stop.:D
Rhaedas 04-16-12, 03:01 PM Seeing the actual landing sites from Earth is physically impossible. But there is the case of the equipment we left behind to measure things, like the distance to the Moon, that weren't there before. But any photos we had if it was possible aren't proof, because you've said already that all photos are suspect.
And other countries have sent probes that have seen the sites. But that could be dismissed, because everyone is in on the conspiracy, right?
Frankly, any proof can be countered. It's just a matter of how ridiculous the counter is that makes it far easier to accept that we actually went from this planet to another body.
If we went back, set up a moonbase, and had streaming video 24/7, it would still be faked to some people...no matter what they saw. They want to think we never went, for various reasons.

arfa brane 04-16-12, 04:27 PM What kind of evidence is needed to support the theory that the moon landings were faked?
First of all, did the US spend billions developing the Atlas series of launch vehicles, and did tens of thousands of witnesses watch the launches from the Space Centre?
If they did, where did the rockets go? Were other countries able to track their positions? When the astronauts were in communication with earth stations, did the stations have to locate the source of transmission, and was it in line with a course to the moon and back?
If the launches were faked, what did all those people see, where did the rockets go, and how was communication with them arranged so it appeared to be between the earth and moon? It was an extremely elaborate deception, if that's what it was.
Every amateur astronomer and every government with access to radio dishes was deceived by the plotters, including the Russians and the Chinese who would have uncovered the plot if they could. This would have been easy for them to do if the lunar modules didn't actually travel to the moon and back.
So why would the US go to all that trouble, and not land anyone on the moon? I suppose the astronauts could have just orbited the moon for a while instead. But then the US would have to fake the landing sites somehow, because the Russians and Chinese can take photos of the surface from lunar orbit these days. Or maybe the plotters thought that would never happen?

Well, why did they keep faking the Apollo flights, I still don't understand. Did the Soviet Union know it was faked? Why did they keep shut up if they knew it was faked? 'Cause a lot of people would think they kept the moon race going to prove the U.S. was better than the Soviet Union. If the Soviet Union knew, why did they let the U.S. get away with this?
Well, I'll tell you - at the highest levels there is a coalition between governments. In other words, the Soviets said, if you won't tell on us - and they faked most of their space exploration flights - we won't tell on you. It's as simple as that. See, what Apollo is, is the beginning of the end of the ability of the government to hoodwink and bamboozle and manipulate the people. More and more people are becoming aware in the U.S. that the government is totally and completely public enemy number one.

The Soviets, with their own competing moon program and an intense economic and political and military rivalry with the USA, could be expected to have cried foul if the USA tried to fake a Moon landing. Theorist Ralph Rene responds that shortly after the alleged Moon landings, the USA silently started shipping hundreds of thousands of tons of grain as humanitarian aid to the allegedly starving USSR. He views this as evidence of a cover-up, the grain being the price of silence. (The Soviet Union in fact had its own Moon program).

On the domestic front, the Cold War helped the Soviet Union entrench its military-bureaucratic ruling class in power, and it gave the US a way to compel its population to subsidise high-tech industry. It isn't easy to sell all that to the domestic populations. The technique used was the old stand-by-fear of a great enemy.

David C 04-19-12, 08:45 AM Yeah, you avoided explaining this. Which explanation are you referring to? You see, when I look at air movement dynamics, I don't see air being pushed 4/5/6 feet in front of anything, let alone a slow moving human. Now quit with the tap dancing and show me some examples of this pluse the physics to prove it, because my bs-meter is off the scale.
Why would the top rod need to move? The vertical rod absorbs the vibration and the flag has a little jiggle as a result. Besides, the movement is so small and the film quality so bad, it is difficult to see either way.
No. That video shows what appears to be a small movement before he ran past it brushing his arm. Jarrah White himself concluded that he could have hit the flag, but then goes on to say it didn't matter because it moved before he got there. That is irrelevant to whether he could have hit it. He could have and almost certainly did.
You can't see that a faster approach to a more square on flag that doesn't show any movement until he is level disproves your main claim? You don't see that? You are full of it. Now stop tap dancing and give me a proper answer. Why wouldn't a faster approach and a square on flag MORE LIKELY to move, NOT MOVE when Jarrah does his foot shooting experiment?
Now, you also forgot to explain that counter video I put up for the Apollo 17 flag....... youtube identifier - sc6sqIe3Aio
All this tapdancing and obfuscation, anyone would think you were avoiding the issues I am raising.
Yes, anyone would certainly conclude you were avoiding my questions and issues. I have seen you avoid these on JREF as well. Even though the hoaxidol says he could have brushed the flag, you refuse to acknowledge that he even determined that. I would throw out the line that "you hb's all act the same way when cornered", but you are unique in that you just stand there and deny everything. You use the escape hatch of circular argument to run away. The Chinese did not fake their spacewalk and anybody who thinks that needs a tin hat permanently stapled to their head - the man who made your video says Apollo landed on the Moon. Jay Windley's point is also quite valid, why would a geologist be better qualified to talk about transporting stone/sand/cement or anything like that, better than an engineer? Seems perfectly reasonable to me.

The viewers that you refer to never support your claims, why is that? Even on your basketball forum, there appears to be only one person on your side.
It never occurs to you that you are the one who is wrong and all the millions of scientists, engineers, geologists and anybody with a good working knowledge of physics thinks you are clueless.
The viewers that you refer to never support your claims...
That's not quite true. Yes, it's true that on apollohoax (apollohoax. proboards. com/index.cgi?board=theories&action=display&thread=1022) he claimed the "lurkers and viewers" supported him, and a poll of "lurkers and viewers" voted against him 19-0. However...
Over on JREF (forums. randi. org/showthread.php?t=233454) he did get a vote from a "viewer" (when he said the "viewers" agreed with him).
Of course, the other 248 viewers who voted said he was wrong. So did all the active thread participants who voted, for a total count of 290-1 against him.
Predictably, FatFreddy immediately tried to claim they were sock-puppets or liars, but this objection failed since he could provide no evidence whatsoever for such accusations.
We've tried to get him to open up his mind for a minute and think about what all those people who genuinely think he's wrong could mean for his claim, but FF has so far not done so.

Rhaedas 04-19-12, 10:42 AM It's amusing how Freddy jumps all over someone's mistake...as if error in saying we are able to see small features on the Moon validates anything in the denier's pot. So we can't see the landers from Earth...they're still there.
Using the same logic, there's a lot of places that must have been faked, because only a few people have actually been there to see it, and any picture can be faked. The number of people may not even matter...I'm wondering if Europe actually exists. Globes can be faked too.

You keep indirectly calling people liars. It is YOUR claim that they are buoyant rather than simply floating in space with simple shape memory, it is YOUR claim that it is an anomaly when it isn't.
Another question for you, do you know how cables are wound when they are made? Ever see a garden hose unravelled? Now this natural tendency to revert to this aquired shape, is unrestricted in zero-g, so why do you dismiss this without even giving it any credence? Please don't "play dumb" on this.:rolleyes:

Ahhh, he's "playing dumb" again. You'd get laughed out of the debating hall for that:rolleyes:
You haven't answered those points at all, you ran away after offering nonsensical answers. You are being asked this HERE, not at JREF.
Again, why doesn't Jarrah's flag move, when it is much more likely to move being square on to him, rather than 45 degrees AWAY from him like the Apollo 15 flag. He is also running straight at it and swerves at the last minute. It doesn't move until he is practically level with it. Can you explain this, the viewers are waiting?
There are some things that even the best (or worst;))sophists can't obfuscate, this is one of them. Another simple one is the fact that you cannot offer an explanation for why wave blowers are used, or an example, or any corroborative citations(Chinese spacewalk).
And a further one being how you keep making this claim of "the atmosphere explanation" yet you consistently fail/refuse to offer any physics that explains how a body in motion pushes air 4 to 6 feet in front of it.
I believe I have witnessed this same pattern of behaviour when you ran away from debate on the politicalforum - offering the truly lame circular argument of the criminally dense "faked Chinese spacewalk" being a qualifying credibility test. So come on do you seriously expect anybody to believe your explanation for why the maker of that video is an Apollo believer? You claim he was "got at". Ha ha ha ha - that is patently absurd.
I cannot fathom how you look at the zoomed in version of the "bubble" in the Chinese spacewalk and yet still maintain it is that - a bubble. It clearly isn't. It's like your statement "I can't see the flagpole move" when it so clearly does. You have 4 years of spamming to protect, so I guess you won't be suddenly developing logic, clarity, honesty?, or any other of the basics to help you understand why you are so wrong and so totally unable to admit it.

Why is it that you absolutly refuse to answer anyone elses questions? I may have messed up one piece of information, but you still have not answered my question. What exactly would the US have to gain by faking the moon landing, besides embarresment when the truth came out? Also, of the THOUSANDS of people involved in project that would have had to know what was up, how come not even ONE has had a guilty conscience and come forward to say that they are fake????

You keep indirectly calling people liars. It is YOUR claim that they are buoyant rather than simply floating in space with simple shape memory, it is YOUR claim that it is an anomaly when it isn't.
Another question for you, do you know how cables are wound when they are made? Ever see a garden hose unravelled? Now this natural tendency to revert to this aquired shape, is unrestricted in zero-g, so why do you dismiss this without even giving it any credence? Please don't "play dumb" on this.

When the cables go up, they always do it in a way that's consistent with buoyancy. If shape memory were the explanation, the cables would also move in other directions. They wouldn't only move upward.

The movement of the one that moves upward along the visor is consistent with a bubble and inconsistent with the movement of debris. It hugs the visor as it goes upward. A piece of debris wouldn't do that.
You people can try to obfuscate these anomalies all you want. There is a point at which things are so clear that sophistry becomes ineffective and these anomalies are that clear.

4/ The person who created the China faked it video, says we landed on the Moon, now that turns your "credibility test" into bovine excrement.
The viewers can see you twisting, turning and obfuscating, it really is very laughable. You are like the Monty Python Black Knight, you don't know when you are beaten. Reminds me of a quote from the opposingdigits page;)

They move in numerous directions, selective blindness on your part once again. But even so, the retaining clips holds the cables in one plane, so any tendency they would have to move would be along that same plane. Your blanket refusal to even accept this as a simple explanation is symptomatic of your blinkered beliefs.

Yes the viewers can see this weird shaped object revolving about its axis and nobody except you will "see" a bubble. Do you even believe your own arguments? Do you know what static electricity is? Do you know how stronger it is without an atmosphere and in a vacuum? Obviously not!
Viewers - Go to youtube search on both these keywords "cosmored" "bubble". If anybody watching those thinks it is a bubble, kindly post here.
You people can try to obfuscate these anomalies all you want. There is a point at which things are so clear that sophistry becomes ineffective and these anomalies are that clear.
Huh? You really are stuck here, now answer the questions and stop with the tapdancing. The viewers can see that your obfuscation is not working.
Aqueous Id 04-23-12, 02:34 AM This video shows that it actually moves so it can't be the blooming effect.
All the videos could have been faked. Anything could be faked.
Anyone can hang a light piece of cloth from a ceiling light and trot by it at a forty five degree angle and exactly duplicate the movement.
But not just anybody can fake a moon landing THEN release a faulty video. Don't you have any clue how serious the space race was, and how, as a matter of national security, the US needed the Reds to think we never got there? Use your head, mon, it's counter-counter-countermeasures.
The nature of the movement is consistent with the atmosphere explanation and inconsistent with the ground vibration explanation.
I want to see data. Just how much atmosphere is on the moon and just how much is required to get that effect. Where does their exhalate go? Any vents on the left side of the suit? How much static charge on the suit or on the flag? What's the g-force between him and the flag? C'mon let's chase this baby down. It can't be that hard.
The support rod doesn't move as it would have if ground vibration had caused the pole to move.
Where's the faked blueprints for the flag. We need that. That will blow this whole site viral.
This video shows that the astronaut couldn't have touched it as it started moving before his arm got close to it.
Hell, if he'd bumped into it as fast as he was moving it would have reached escape velocity. So, I say again, let's identify ALL the forces acting on that flag! Stack 'me up, rule 'em out, prove they faked the video, and that's how you get traction. Traction? Don't forget any dust he kicked up. I want to see that flag tip position plotted - I bet it's a pure second order response from a servo. Servo? Any on-flag control system to keep it pointing at the official direction? (Stars lead stripes into battle.) There's just not enough brainstorming been done on this to chase it down. Has there been a fishbone analysis?
The corner of Collins' jacket bounces around the way it would in gravity when they were supposed to be halfway to the moon.
What makes you think there's no gravity? What makes you think gravity is the only force acting on those materials? Where are the blueprints for the jackets? Are they designed to spring one way or the other? Is this only observed in Apollo or did we fake the video in the shuttle program too? Seriously: What makes you think this wasn't done simply to throw the Ruskies off - they're the only people who had adequate equipment back in the day to detect deliberately laid clues like these.
One tactic these pro-Apollo people do is use the same username I do on other forums to try to confuse people. My username at Spurstalk is Cosmored and my username at JREF is FatFreddy88. There is a person here using the name "Cosmored" and there's a person at Spurstalk using the name "FatFreddy88".
Take notes, because if you ever get confused which one is the real you, it means they've defeated some of your hologram countermeasures. You think I'm joking. This is bigger than you think. Just wait til we get to the blueprints and the physics. Someone seriously needs to file for the missing Apollo blueprints. This stuff needs to go to court.
leopold 04-24-12, 08:20 PM I made a post supporting the hoax theory on a thread in another section and I was told it would be more appropriate to discuss it here so here's a link to the post.

We can continue the discussion here.
there are a few very important things to remember about all of this.
first, there were thousands of people working on this project scattered over thousands of miles that knew for a fact whether the saturn 5 was capable of reaching, and landing a man on, the moon.
to my knowledge NONE of them even managed a whisper about such a hoax.
second, there is such a thing called russia.
these are the people that took the first photos of the backside of the moon and at the time our arch enemy.
they would love nothing more than to provide solid proof that the saturn 5 was incapable.
since they have expertise in getting to the moon they would know if our rockets were capable or not.
so far any such evidence has not been forthcoming
given the above facts it's easy to see that we did indeed have the capability.
since we had the capability i fail to see why we wouldn't use it.
if you want to prove we didn't go then prove the saturn 5 incapable.

When you see the duplicate come backs from this guy you can guess exactly what his reply to this is. He will say it could have been space radiation, and how do we know they are telling us the truth. Perhaps if he comes back and when he does indeed fire that back with his totally lame links, he could explain why objects routinely performing orbits through the VAB are not "fried" and how objects such as SMART-1/LROC/Kaguya and suchlike manage to work just fine. Indeed, the Soviets managed to soft land a few times on the Moon and actually returned a few with soil samples, so perhaps he could explain that one as well. Fat chance, since he ignores difficult stuff and runs away.
leopold 04-25-12, 03:03 AM He will say it could have been space radiation, . . .
due to the numerous probes that were sent aloft before hand it would be well known whether man could withstand it.
i fail to see the project moving ahead if he couldn't.
the astronauts themselves were intimately involved with both the design and construction of the saturn 5, they also had access to the research, including the radiation research.
i seriously doubt the astronauts would put their own lives in jeopardy.
a number of flights were scrubbed due directly to such concerns from the astronauts.
. . . and how do we know they are telling us the truth.
you simply can not silence thousands of people scattered over thousands of miles, you just can't do it.
i guess now he will raise the "atom bomb secret".
this is an entirely different animal.
the scientists that worked on, and constructed, "the gadget" was contained in one area, in essence their own city complete with their own area code and phone system.
nothing entered or left that town without being censored, even the mail was scrutinized.
of all of the stuff i have read concerning this NONE of it addresses the capability issue.
Read-Only 04-25-12, 07:57 AM Just a couple of things in general here, folks.
I suggested several days ago that we just ignore this troll and let him leave due to being starved for attention.
Plus, anytime you see someone start a thread on a topic like this, you can be ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN of one of three things (or even all three):
1. His elevator doesn't go all the way to the top;
2. He's SO poorly educated that he does not know even the most basic things about science or;
3. He IS nothing but a troll and just wants to stir up controversy and has NO interest in honest debate NOR has any interest in the actual truth of the subject.
So, in the final analysis, it's not worth spending even a moment of your time responding to him. He's a total looser. (Note - I came into the thread just now because I've read all the other new posts and had nothing else to do for a minute or two. Otherwise, I would have never bothered to even look at it again.) :shrug:
FatFreddy 04-25-12, 02:34 PM You pro-Apollo posters are really just wasting your time as there are anomalies that are simply too clear to obfuscate.

As I've said before, there's a point at which things are so clear that sophistry becomes ineffective. The best sophist in the world couldn't convince a ten-year-old that a picture of an elephant is really a picture of a zebra. Those Apollo anomalies are about that clear. I'd say your success rate here is close to zero.
spidergoat 04-25-12, 02:44 PM These are all supremely stupid arguments. There is no wind on the moon, but there is still gravity, momentum, and movement.

The one playing games is you. Nowhere in that post is actual answers to those 3 points. You can't answer them can you, because you are a lame obfuscating sophist who is cornered. They would laugh you out of the debating hall with that.
When he tried to obfuscate the clear proof that the Chinese spacewalk was faked, he was pretty much discredited and there wasn't much point in continuing.
Translation: He destroyed one of my other nutty pet spamming topics, I had no answer to any of the points he raised in that or any of his other posts, so I ran away.
The only thing that matters is what the viewers end up thinking and I think most of them weren't morons.

The proof that the Chinese spacewalk was faked is so clear that it makes a good objectivity test. You people also failed that test.
A credibility test that fails in itself, since the video you cite as "evidence" was made by a pro-Apollo supporter. LMAO!!

There are two alternatives. Either regolith will rise and fall in a parabolic trajectory, or it will aerosolise and cause suspension. Air will slow it just as much on the way up as on the way down.
Since we don't see any suspension WHATSOEVER, this leaves the only other possibility. Now the reason why some of the time it may not be visibly parabolic is simply through the chaotic nature of the particles colliding.
Meanwhile, the supertroll is avoiding the questions here, whilst lying about answering them at JREF.

Your reason for discounting somebody's argument because they disbelieve yet another stupid conspiracy theory, whilst they simultaneously destroy that very theory is truly pathetic. I would remind anybody who is watching this, that the man whose video you rely on for your bonkers claim, is in fact a person who knows Apollo landed on the Moon.
Indeed, your claim that this piece of debris rotating on its axis is a bubble is one of the most obvious cases of "somebody not believing their own argument" you could get.

happily spend twenty times the amount of money on
- faking the entire decade of rockets, landing vehicles, sets, moon rocks, videos, audios, telescope data,
- putting up buttloads of secret satellites that bounce back our signals
- as well as the hush money for the thousands and thousands of people involved for - now into our fifth decade - to keep them silent...
than they would simply to
just land on the damned thing. (Hoaxers grant that the rockets went up. They even grant we put up a buttload of satellites around the Moon (otherwise how do they bounce back our laser signals?) They just think the big rockets hung out somewhere else, rather than actually going to the Moon.)
So anyway, the catch-all answer is: you got evidence? You faked it.

Don't you see! That is the point; we did go to Mars and we used going to the moon as the cover story. It is all coming together. We went to the moon to negotiate with the alien on the mars base to ask them to stop anal probing our citizens. We had to come up with a story since the rocket launches were pretty obvious.
So any way, we had the fake moon missions and instead went to mars for the high level alien meetings.
This is why the russians never revealed that we didn't go to the moon - because they would have to admit we went to mars and really be embarrased.

You're obviously trying to sway those viewers who don't take the time to look at what I was referring to. I guess I'll have to make it very clear to thwart you.
You got that quote from this page.
http://www.politicalforum.com/moon-landing/190138-apollo-moon-missions-were-faked-studio.html#post3989715
I was referring to the motion of the astronaut's jacket corner at the 00:08 time mark of this video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=GB&hl=en-GB&v=TejsnPThmd4
The corner flops up and down because of her arm movement. It moves the way it would in zero-G. When I said it has no tendency to go downward, I was referring to the lack of gravity as it would have a tendency to go downward in gravity when there's no movement. This is clear to anyone who actually looks at what I was referring to.
The tactics you're using are those of a cornered sophist. This is what pro-Apollo posters usually do when faced with clear anomalies that are impossible to obfuscate. There's hardly any point in continuing to debate with you people as it's clear to any thinking person who actually looks at the anomalies that you don't even believe your own arguments.

Read-Only 06-17-12, 07:27 AM I have ignored your explanation as you would be executed by the debating hall evil overlord for actually being being dumb. You don't need to play at this, you seem to have it au natural.:D Hair either has a tendency to go down without gravity, or it doesn't - I laugh with derision at your useless explanation. You seem to be cornered here.
Now answer the points properly. I particularly like the "if it turns out there really is some floating, and all this time I am in fact totally and completely wrong saying there is none, here is my fallback position which is even more moronic." quote. LMAO!
Please explain these laughable contradictions, because you said these statements................
The Collins Jacket Non Issue
You said this....
"Her hair flops up and down"
followed by -
"her hair has no tendency to go downward"
After 50 pages saying there is no zero-g - "If it turns out that there really is some floating"
"Collins' jacket corner bounces up and down the way it would in gravity"
followed by -
"In zero-G the jacket would be bouncing up and down on his back if it were loose"
Do you have any comments on these because I think you have no clue what you are talking about?
Answer the questions:
You did not answer those questions. And since you made the points here, you need to answer them here so everybody can laugh at your lame answers. You will not do that, because you are totally cornered.
1/ Jarrah's flag doesn't move until he is level and that buries your whole claim. Kindly offer an explanation for why this is so.
2/ Since you keep repeatedly making the "atmosphere explanation" - kindly give us the physics for this or anything at all! People don't push air waves 4 feet in front of them!
3/ Your credibility test is rubbish, the Chinese faked it video was made by a man who supports Apollo. Teehee.
4/ Your so called bubble is misshapen and tumbling around its own axis. Do you agree with this description of it? Explain your answer.
5/ You cannot offer an explanation for why wave blowers are used, or an example, or any corroborative citations(Chinese spacewalk). Neutral buoyancy uses weights in a diving pool. Got anything?

Why did Jarrah's flag, square on and more likely to move from magically pushed air, NOT MOVE until he was practically level with it, whilst the Apollo flag shows movement at 4-6 feet away.
Explain using physics and references how air is pushed in front of a moving body.
Here is some assistance as you seem to be good at being dumb...
http://www.explainthatstuff.com/windtunnel.html
"The basic idea of a wind tunnel is simple: if you can't move the plane through the air, why not move the air past the plane instead? From a scientific point of view, it's exactly the same. If a plane drags (causes air resistance) when it soars through the sky, air will drag in exactly the same way when you fire it past a stationary model of the plane on the ground."

If it's at a forty five degree angle, the way it moves is going to be different than it would be at a ninety degree angle.

spidergoat 06-18-12, 03:01 PM I see the flag oscillating slightly. Is this supposed to be the proof that the moon landing was fake? I don't know how they could have faked that video unless it was on the moon!

spidergoat 06-18-12, 03:31 PM There is no atmosphere on the Moon, but there was on the ship. I'm sure that some venting could have occurred in the airlock and such. Also, kicking up moon dust could cause the same effect as an air current. Or, forces are being transmitted through the ground when they are walking around. Or the flag is oscillating due to the original movement of putting it in the ground. Or the movement is apparent due to the camera moving. There are so many explanations that are much more reasonable than "we didn't go to the Moon".

No. I addressed the issue.
You said they had the capability to go to the moon. You seem to be basing that opinion on a scenario in which they could have just gone into space without worring about radiation. If the alternative info to which I linked turns out to be correct, we know why they had to fake it. They could have simply gone if space radiation hadn't been a factor. If they had to design heavy shielding into the craft that they were going to send to the moon, it would have been much too heavy and the astronauts couldn't have walked on the moon in those suits as they wouldn't protect them against space radiation.
This is my answer to your assertion that they had the capability to go to the moon.

David C 06-19-12, 08:18 AM When I look at Jarrah's video, it starts to move a little later than it does in Betamax's video.
No it doesn't. The simple act of downloading the video and doing frame extrapolation easily shows this. Your denial of 'in your face obvious' is pathetic. I just posted a gif of two frames taken from that video. The flag moves 4-6 feet away easily. Easily. Even had there only been movement two feet away or 1 foot away, irrelevant. Air does not get pushed more than a few inches in front of something like an astronaut. You are completely cornered, but may be too dumb to realise why.
Let's not forget that Betamax tried to obfuscate the clear proof that the Chinese spacewalk was faked...
Oh shutup with your stupid conspiracy theory to prop up another one. The Chinese didn't fake their spacewalk, that is almost as moronic as saying Apollo was faked.
...so he's a known obfuscator; I wouldn't put doctoring videos past him.
Known to whom, please cite your references. Your pathetic ad-hominem noted. Once again you use this as a means to avoid answering the points raised by him, that totally destroyed your arguments.
The maker of the Chinese fake video is a pro-Apollo supporter. LMAO at you "playing" dumb and succeeding.
In his video he proposes the "Blooming effect" explanation.
Maybe, I favour ground vibration. The one thing it provably cannot be is movement of air by the astronaut. The laws of physics don't get to be broken by idiotic conspiracy theorists.
This video shows that to be wrong.
How so? That video shows only the bottom right hand corner. The flagpole itself moves as well, by a similar amount.
According to Jarrah's scenario, he was much closer to the flag when it started moving.
Say what? White assessed that the flag moved before he was even level with the flag pole! At 45 degrees, a 4' wide flag sideways on is just under 3' - White shows the movement at least a foot before the astronauts body crosses the flagpole. As I said 4 feet. Now do try again and try not to obfuscate with your nonsense.
You also know the hoax-believer answer to why Jarrah's flag didn't move until he was practially level with it.

Oh good grief. Let me get this straight, you are saying the reason a flag doesn't move is because he is holding a bloody balloon? Ha ha ha. Man, you are really dumb if you believe that. The flag doesn't move before he gets there, because that is exactly how air behaves, it moves to the side, not rams 4-6 feet in front of something.
An airplane wing and how it doesn't push air in front of it...

If it's at a forty five degree angle, the way it moves is going to be different than it would be at a ninety degree angle.
Well gee, good of you to admit it. The reality is that something square in in front of something, is more likely to be moved by your "wall of air" stupid "atmosphere explanation", than something angled 45 degrees AWAY from it!!
You people are trying to mislead those viewers who haven't seen the footage to which you're referring. Once they actually see it, they'll know you don't even believe your own arguments.

If there is so much to learn by landing on the moon, why haven't they been up there since? Answer: because if they tried to go up there nowdays with all our advanced technology & all, it will be once & for all proven that they didn't.

Apollo 14
http://cdn.physorg.com/newman/gfx/news/hires/2011/1-.png
Apollo 12
The tracks made in 1969 by astronauts Pete Conrad and Alan Bean, the third and fourth humans to walk on the Moon, can be seen in this LRO image of the Apollo 12 site. The location of the descent stage for Apollo 12’s lunar module, Intrepid, also can be seen. Conrad and Bean performed two Moon walks on this flat lava plain in the Oceanus Procellarum region of the Moon. In the first walk, they collected samples and chose the location for the lunar monitoring equipment known as the Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package (ALSEP). The ALSEP sent scientific data about the Moon’s interior and surface environment back to Earth for more than seven years. A surprising detail of the ALSEP is visible in the image: a bright L-shape marks the locations of cables running from ALSEP’s central station to two of its instruments. These instruments are probably (left) the Suprathermal Ion Detector Experiment, or SIDE, which studied positively charged particles near the Moon’s surface, and (right) the Lunar Surface Magnetometer, or LSM, which looked for variations in the Moon’s magnetic field over time; these two instruments had the longest cables running from the central station. Though the cables are much too small to be seen directly, they show up because the material they are made from reflects light very well. In the second Moon walk, Conrad and Bean set out from the descent stage and looped around Head crater, visiting Bench crater and Sharp crater, then headed east and north to the landing site of Surveyor 3. There, the astronauts collected some hardware from the unmanned Surveyor spacecraft, which had landed two years earlier. The two astronauts covered this entire area on foot, carrying all of their tools and equipment and more than 32 kilograms (roughly 60 pounds) of lunar samples.

darksidZz 07-19-12, 12:31 PM Honestly I'm not sure what to believe, but I find it highly unusual the US wouldn't go back and start developing moon bases and other forms of technology to colonize the moon, I see no real sense to not doing this. Helium 3 is there and we could learn to mine it + other minerals, also just the gains for astronomy would be worth it, we could put a fantastic telescope on the dark side of the moon. Hell perhaps there's cool shit there?
I'd just have thought we'd build a mission to colonize by now, and you say it's expensive but really they spent tons on war and it got us nowhere, they've wasted more money on wars than it would've cost to go back and build moon bases so wtf, sounds fishy to me.

Helium 3 is there and we could learn to mine it + other minerals, also just the gains for astronomy would be worth it, we could put a fantastic telescope on the dark side of the moon. Hell perhaps there's cool shit there?
What would be the point of mining He3? I beleive you mean that at telescope on the far side of the moon would be cool, there is no dark side of the moon (appologies to Pink Floyd).
I'd just have thought we'd build a mission to colonize by now, and you say it's expensive but really they spent tons on war and it got us nowhere, they've wasted more money on wars than it would've cost to go back and build moon bases so wtf, sounds fishy to me.
The only thing fishy is how incredibly naive you are.
there is no dark side of the moon.
It's all dark.

There is absolutely no reason to colonize the moon, nor are manned missions needed. Robots could do anything we need to do there like mining or observation. Our efforts out to be concentrated in orbit and on Mars. All Mars missions should be one way, there are thousands of older scientists that would climb over each other to go there permanently. Send robots to prepare habitats, greenhouses and to make O2 beforehand and since one way trips need much less in weight they could take much more supplies to make Mars self sustaining. I'd go tomorrow.

it could provide a number of advantages, a jumping off point to mars for example.
we could launch a far greater payload from the moon than from earth.
. . . also just the gains for astronomy would be worth it, . . .
one of the limiting factors for earth based telescopes is weight.
not only would the seeing be almost perfect we could build bigger telescopes.
yes, a moonscope would be fantastic.

in any "colonizing" period there's going to be accidents, some of them will result in deaths to the crew.
NASA decides to anticipate the bad rap and forgoes the "moonbase" scenario.
Nom-De-Plume 01-09-13, 08:02 AM There are plenty of reasons for not establishing permanent infrastructure on the moon. For starters, the Apollo missions were extemely expensive and dangerous. We still do not have a full understanding of the long-term effects on the human body from living in alternate gravity levels etc.
Also, before we look to space, we should be mending the cracks down here on Earth. To say that the moon-landing was faked to distract the public from the Vietnam war is utterly laughable. If such a distraction was desired, an assassination, political scandal, or some other similar event would be much less expensive and easier to orchestrate. Why would they go to such great lengths?
Moon-landing conspiracy theorists have a bad name, because they generally ignore scientific fact and would rather engage in pseudo-scientific discourse. Also, they tend to ignore sufficient debunking of certain theories and repeat them, regardless of their being proved ignorable. (i.e. US flag flapping).
As others have mentioned, robots are just as capable of documenting and photographing as a moon-base, or whatever would be. Sure, the costs of the US' recent wars have been extravagant and down-right ridiculous, but NASA is under (as others have mentioned) extreme pressure to cut spending. They even suffered public scrutiny for their landing of gear on mars -- imagine public reaction to a proposed moon-base... Space travel is more expensive than you might think.
leopold 01-09-13, 08:58 AM Space travel is more expensive than you might think.
only because of the large delta Vs that are required.
it takes all of the tonnage of the fully loaded saturn 5 just to get 50 tons to the moon.
all of that goes into overcoming earths gravity and acceleration.
then, when you get to the moon you must decelerate to get to the surface.
the cost of going there once in earth orbit is very small.
Rhaedas 01-09-13, 09:09 AM NASA decides to anticipate the bad rap and forgoes the "moonbase" scenario.
I don't think NASA's decision had much to do with it. When Apollo funding got cut, they had to try and salvage what they could from their next plan, and after negotiating with Congress they managed to save a piece of it. What was just a small component of a grander dream became the Space Shuttle program.
billvon 01-09-13, 10:25 AM it could provide a number of advantages, a jumping off point to mars for example.

There is no fuel on the Moon. Every ounce of fuel would have to be lifted from Earth - which makes launching from the Moon a far, far, far more expensive proposition.
one of the limiting factors for earth based telescopes is weight.
not only would the seeing be almost perfect we could build bigger telescopes.
Except things still have weight on the moon. And the dust is just plain nasty. Orbital telescopes make a lot more sense.
leopold 01-09-13, 02:59 PM What was just a small component of a grander dream became the Space Shuttle program.
correct me if i'm wrong but wasn't the shuttle initially designed as a passenger liner?
There is no fuel on the Moon.
correct, there is no LOX, liquid H2, or RP-1 on the moon.
not all rocket engine are liquid.
Orbital telescopes make a lot more sense.
maybe.
i believe a solid foundation has some merit.

The Mythbusters addressed all Moonlanding being faked "reasons" given by conspirators and came up with a decent "No Hoax" verdict.
Worth watching if you buy into all the conspiratorial stuff.
LaurieAG 01-25-13, 03:15 AM If the Apollo moon missions were faked then what caused all those cyclones (hurricanes/typhoons) that formed in the Coral sea off the Queensland Coast during that period? Global warming?
I can remember one year when we had around 9 cyclones and 4 came down to the southern half of the state and after the Apollo missions finished we had hardly any cyclones form let alone come down to the southern part of the state. That was until the Space Shuttle blew up.
If you follow the path of the 'cyclone' we are currently experiencing you will note that last week it was a large swirling storm cell over the land (not normal) that went directly north for 1,000kms to the gulf of Carpentaria where it formed into a cyclone. It then went east for a couple of hundred kms, stopped being a cyclone and then went down the Queensland coast where it is sitting and currently dumping much rain all the way from north to south.
So, as the Apollo missions weren't faked, and we have wierdly behaving cyclones roaming around in Queensland, I expect that it is one or more of (1) the Chinese space lab on a wierd orbit, (2) the US spy satellite following (1), (3) a third stage assosciated with a tradional (Apollo style) space program or (4) some other space junk coming in.
I have excluded the NEO space rock expected to pass under the geostationary orbit in about 3 weeks time as it would have to be orbiting to cause this type of weather. That NEO would be expected to pull geostationary satellites out of their orbits so It's likely that (1) or (2) or both are trying to minimise its impact.

What evidence do you have of any cyclone being caused by anything to do with any human space mission?
LaurieAG 01-27-13, 03:11 AM What evidence do you have of any cyclone being caused by anything to do with any human space mission?
James R, I have lived in the South East Queensland region for 50 years and the only time during that period when active cyclones or their 'remnants' came down as far as here were:-
(1) During the 60's and early to mid 70's
(2) After the space shuttle blew up on reentry, you kinda notice when you don't have one come down here for 15 years or so
(3) now, 2 weeks or so after the North Koreans launched a satellite
Number (3) is a real beauty because it started on the land around the QLD, NSW + NT borders, travelled directly north overland as a swirling storm that formed into cyclone Oswald in the Gulf of Carpentaria, it then turned east and headed inland until it started going down the inside of the Queensland coast, not over the ocean, wreaking havoc and dumping rain from Rockhampton all the way down to, it looks like Coffs Harbour, but it may keep going all the waydown to Tasmania. The rain is already down to the NSW and VIC Border.

Oh, yeah - we all know that rocket launches cause cyclones in Oz. Yeah. Right.
But wait... what about ALL those launches that have put satellites in orbit in the past 20 years? You know, all the GPS satellites and the ones for TV broadcasts, etc. Evidently you've forgotten them all when you devised this kooky idea of yours.
youreyes 01-27-13, 08:53 AM the rocket launches do effect the environment, but not in a way LaurieAG is saying they do. Rockets majorly pollute the area where their stages land and part of the fuel tanks as well, propellant such nitrogen tetroxide, hydrazine, MMH, and UDMH. The actual physical effects of rocket launches is not significant enough to somehow effect global weather such as creation of cyclones. However frequent rocket launches do effect local weather patterns mainly by creation of rain and etc.
LaurieAG 01-29-13, 04:32 AM Here's what a meteorologist said in todays Courier Mail newspaper.
Australia is in desperate need of increased data collection points and more detailed high resolution modelling around our populated east coast.
That's not to say that Oswald would not have been correctly modelled but it was a unique system and these sorts of smaller systems (tropical lows and weak tropical cyclones) tend to get steered around more by small disturbances in the upper atmosphere. This makes them more unpredictable. Another factor that made Oswald unique was that it took an unprecedented path between Cairns and Sydney.
It'll be off Tasmania tomorrow.
Rogue satellites, third stages doing multiple loops around the planet or anything else that is falling into the earth tend to cause disturbances in the upper atmosphere.
Fill a round mug with black coffee and add milk to just below the top. Take a paper clip and insert it into the coffee 1CM from the edge and 1CM deep. Rotate the paper clip in the liquid slowly around the inside edge of the mug maintaining its depth and distance from the edge and see how long it takes to get the contents of the mug spinning.

And the 15,000 tons of meteors that hit the Earth's upper atmosphere every year don't? (They hit going a lot faster, too.)

Now do exactly the same experiment but use a paint stirrer, stick it in all the way and stir it as fast as you can. Is there more or less disturbance?

You obviously didn't look at the PDF. The majority of the satellites etc that go rogue start with an elongated orbit then go into a reducing circular orbit as they come in. Read the bit on the diagram that says that these objects make many more circuits coming in than shown on the diagram.
Not much point discussing this with people who don't know the difference between the trajectories of things like man made objects jerked out of their parking orbits and those of space rocks as they come in.

Right. That's because they move a lot more slowly than meteors. Meteors = more mass hitting the planet going much faster = more disturbance in the atmosphere. Simple physics.
Russ_Watters 02-01-13, 07:56 PM Right. That's because they move a lot more slowly than meteors. Meteors = more mass hitting the planet going much faster = more disturbance in the atmosphere. Simple physics. Considering that if a satellite is in orbit, it isn't really interacting with the atmosphere in any significant way....yeah, pretty simple.
