But zoom in on the astronaut's visor, which is reflecting what is in front of him. You see: - Another very powerful light source - A person, apparently not wearing a space suit, in dark shadow (even though the sun ought to be shining directly on him) - (in the second photo) A snowman-like figure, perhaps an empty space suit. Difficult to explain. |

User ID: 46420627 United States 07/22/2019 09:37 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Neil Armstrong's widow says that we should wink at Neil and his "moon walk." [link to cosmiclog.nbcnews.com] --- "...the next time you walk outside on a clear night and see the moon smiling down at you, think of Neil Armstrong and give him a wink." --- Explanation for non-Americans: [link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)] --- Winking in Western culture can be used as a way of letting someone else know that the winker or some other person is joking or lying (e.g., a parent tells their child a story about a fairy princess, and then winks at the child's older sibling, the sibling thus knows the parent is lying to the younger child). --- Last Edited by BeSkeptical on 07/22/2019 09:40 AM |

User ID: 46420627 United States 07/22/2019 09:50 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The American author Norman Mailer had a degree in aeronautical engineering. [link to www.britannica.com (secure)] He was therefore assigned by Life magazine to write about the Apollo 11 "moon landing." He wrote: [link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)] --- The event was so removed, however, so unreal, that no objective correlative existed to prove it had not been an event staged in a television studio—the greatest con of the century—and indeed a good mind, product of the iniquities, treacheries, gold, passions, invention, deception, and rich worldly stink of the Renaissance could hardly deny that the event if bogus was as great a creation in mass hoodwinking, deception, and legerdemain as the true ascent was in discipline and technology. Indeed, conceive of the genius of such a conspiracy. It would take criminals and confidence men mightier, more trustworthy and more resourceful than anything in this century or the ones before. --- |

[link to carlkop.home.xs4all.nl (secure)] --- Whithin nearly 2 years of searching the 'lost lunar landing sites' I could not get a satisfactory answer from any NASA site. When asked they didn't understand my 'problem' saying: "It's all described in this and that web-page" and so on. So I decided to collect all available 'official' NASA versions of landing coordinates and I found not less than 10 different main versions, 8 of them in NASA sites. --- |

It is the same most everywhere--common sense is the least common thing on earth. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76715453 Thanks OP. Well, actually what it confirms is that most people here believe the moon landings were a hoax. You shills/sheep aren’t very good at all when it comes to looking at facts and objectively coming to a correct conclusion. The thread title states exactly what the threads about and even gives you the damn conclusion and yet you STILL can’t follow!! Sadly pathetic. |

I heard they were lost to a fire but how are they not protected. No one thought to copy them or maybe send the formulas to a university to be stuided and taught. One of the greatest achievements in human history , and yet they lost the information on how to get there. Just doesnt seem right. |

We cannot orbit constantly through the van Allen belts, especially in the area where they are strongest which is in a high earth orbit. The Apollo missions went through them quickly where the radiation was lowest. I do Are used to think the van Allen belt argument was the elephant in the room, but after further research it simply isn’t. |

No, It's obvious the RCS wasn't being used, otherwise you would see the thrusts. So you are asserting that the exhaust of hypergolic engines should be visible in a vacuum? Holy fuck! If you don't want to look like a clown while debating astronautics fucking learn something about it first. The RCS was fed the same fuel as the ascend engine, you can't see the exhaust from that one either.

They came and one of them was asphalt. The teacher told us all he was not sure they were legit moon rocks because he was really into rock collecting. His theory was someone had stolen the real rock and replaced it with something they found in the parking lot. |
