Try this experiment. Dive into a big pool with a long rope and a friend. In water, the effects of gravity seem to be lessened. Ok. NOW, while holding the rope while it is horizontal, have your friend let go and quickly create a transverse wave. It moves due to momentum. Gravity doesn't stop it.


Lead isn't some unique magical material which is the ONLY thing that blocks radiation. The material NASA used also blocks radiation.

EDIT: To answer Evil2God (in case he didn't see it),

Do you know what momentum is? It has nothing to do with gravity. Its mass times velocity. Its ALWAYS conserved. I don't understand what the moon's gravity has to do with the flag waving. Explain further.

As for the force of gravity on the dirt kicked up. Well, acceleration due to gravity on Earth is 9.8 meters per second, per second. On the Moon, its 1.6 m/sec per sec. That's still fast, about 3.6 miles/hr. When considering the dust moves about 12 inches, the video footage was very realistic.

Again, I'm just using the laws of physics and common sense to debunk all this...

If indeed it was a fake it will be confirmed in 2032. All information must be turned public 50 years after its initial occurence.

ARGH, the incredibly STUPIDITY presented by some of you people make me SICK.

"About the stars. We can't see stars during the day BECAUSE of our ozone layer which the moon lacks."

NO MORON. The ozone layer has nothing to do with it! The atmosphere isn't completely transparent. It's like an extremely thin fog, and it defracts mostly blue light in the day. Thus, we have a blue sky illuminated with the SUN AND light reflected from the earth. Stars are simply overpowered in the day.

"The only source of light why can prevent us from seeing the stars is not the sun... well not directly anyway. It's the light which is bounced off of the moon."

There are 4 sources of incredibly intense light: The sun, which is at a point in the lunar sky. The earth, which will always be in the sky on the near side of the moon. The moon, which reflects light as provable by looking UP at night. The astronauts and lunar equipment. All of these provide huge ammounts of light pollution in the scece. Furthermore, stars are faint. Goto a town, look UP, goto the country, look UP. You see far more stars in the sky. This is at nightime as well, unlike in the lunar pictures.

"The human eye adjusts to the strongest source of light around yet a CAMERA DOES NOT. I've studied film and the last time I checked the camera does not adjust automatically to light."
Studying does not equal experience. I guess you've never used a video camera at all, or any camera for that matter. Try shooting something in a dark room with an open window in the shot at daytime. You only get a shot of a flood of brightness and a washed out darker area. The light contrast is STILL there. The flash isn't there just to light up the object, but balance out the illumination with the surroundings.

Why am I talking about illumination with somebody obviously as dim as they come...

enough.

What pisses me off is that thousands of people worked tirelessly for millions of hours, three men died, and know we have these conspiracy theorists looking to make a quick buck by selling a book, or giving interviews to Fox, or FOX themselves selling ad time, all looking to make money by discrediting these people who gave their lives for the Apollo missions. These people working for NASA were giving America hope. These men worked for their country and humanity in general, to keep faith and to advance civilization as a whole, and they're being made out to like like bullshit artists by Fox and the conspiricy theorists who are ALL in it for the money.

Just my 2 cents...

Mons: I think it's a huge case of penis envy. A bunch of pathetic morons who failed science are jealous of those who actually achieved the dream and made it to the moon. I mean, why should the guys who actually DO something get credit? Of course, the pathetic idiots can't do much but bitch, so they try to convince people it never happened.

Yes, I'm a little pissed. No, I don't care if I'm being harsh.

I though it was EXTREMELY bad taste to try and pull in the deaths of those astronauts as part of their damn "coverup".

Oh and "Explain this: http://www.redzero.demon.co.uk/moonhoax/images/nostars.jpg"

Explain what? I see a wrinkly flag. It's always wrinkly. Even in the videos the wrinkles stay exactly the same even as it sways. Sue nasa for not bringing an iron.

I'm comforted by the fact that these sackless toads are in the minority, and anyone gullible and ignorant enough to believe them will also always be in the minority.

What's important is that kids today and in the future are taught the facts about this great milestone in human history. They are taught about the heroics and struggles of these NASA men, and it rightfully tells them that hard, honest work will get them somewhere in life. I swear to God, that HBO miniseries about the missions should be required viewing for every single person in the world. Those men are modern day Hercules, and they deserve all the admiration and credit for what they pulled off. The fact that they accomplished something 30 years ago and some still refuse to believe it is a testament to how great of an event the Apollo missions were.

Alien: Either you can't read or you have a bad memory.

You said this:
"Flag was waving around becuase the astronuats were holding on to it. Did they ever show it waving when someone was not touching it? No I didn't think so."

I showed you a picture of the flag w/o astronuats holding on to it.

FINAL JUDGEMENT!

Well since you choose to ignore the other thread....

Stop MonsterTrilla, next thing you'll be asking us to stand & salute the flag. Like I said in the other thread I work in a large company, do I know what go's on all over the place.... no I don't.

But the gravity is the thing & the amount of thrust required to get of the lunar surface & back into orbit. There was no way of knowing what that force was going to be in calculating the fuel & thrust required to lift off. It was an unknown. No such thing as blind luck.... think about it.

Hitokage,

I have to admit that I was wrong about those things but calling me a moron is a little overboard don't you think.

2 out 3 things that you pointed out were actually things that I had not explained properly for the simple reason that my writting skills in english are how could I say... somewhat very limited.

1- When I said the ozone I actually meant the entire series of layers surrounding the earth. That does take into account the masses of little traces of water which makes this fog creating a blue sky on a sunny day.

2- I know how light is reflected off of all the things that we see (except for unreflective surfaces, the sun and stars which do not reflect but emit light). All of what you stated does come into account but I just felt like debating.

3- This is where you CAN be wrong. The cameras we had for our projects had no automation what so ever. Everything was done manualy, from zoom to focus to lightmeter. So for the example of the dark room with a window... it didn't apply from my experience but their camera must have been fully automated. It just slipped my mind.

I know how frustrating it might be for you to have read so much nonsense but I have to say that I did not think everything through before I wrote it. Come to think of it... Moron suits me quite well, afterall thats what my b*tch... I mean that's what my girlfriend often refers to me as. :)

BTW , this is more of a question really. If the camera adjusts to the average of light in front of it, then when the camera faces the majority of the sky should it not adjust to the smallest source of light possible which are the stars. The light would still bounce of the surroundings but as far as I know the camera does not take into account the backlighting is the subject is not affected by it. (???)

How the hell can you tell if a flag is waving by a still picture? The only way I can think of is by blurring, but that flag isn't blurred anywhere.

I'm seriously disappointed by what I've read tonight. :(

well yea after looking at that still photo I can see the flag is waving like crazy, AND I can see the astronaut in the background is actually doing jumping jacks. Not to mention the tornado brewing just offscreen.

Don't you think we need moving pictures to tell if it's still waving?

Thompson,

I know you're British so I'm not asking that of you. ;) I ignored the two other threads because they turned into a) an underwater submarine thread and b) a thread about who made which rockets.

As for the gravity issue. I'm not sure, but I think they did know the force of gravity on the moon. At least, I wouldn't think they'd attempt a landing if they didn't know the force of gravity. Using some of Newton's laws (F=ma and F=Gm1m2/r^2) could figure it out. I think its a given that they knew how much thrust they needed? Why wouldn't it be?

The flag wouldn't be blurred while waving in a still photo; ASA 1000 film will freeze frame helicopter blades so that point is moot.

Alot of this comes down to photography I think (for a layman like me anyway). I don't know enough about rocket thrusters creating craters and all that stuff, but I do know enough about film and lighting to come to the conclusion that it WAS fake.

Many of the photos I can discount because, let's face it, it was the photo op of all time so if they doctored the photos to look more media friendly I can understand it.

BUT!

No matter how much light pollution and reflections from the earth there were, I can't possibally believe that in an uninterrupted video sequence we can see an astronaut jumping off the module into complete shadow and just happen to have enough reflected light from the earth at just the perfect angle to light him up.

And the still shot of the astronaut with the intense sunlight behind him would never have been lighted so well even with reflected light from earth, especially just at the precise angle to capture that shot.

too much photographic coincidence for me

And I agree Thompson, people who have such a gung-ho attitude about the U.S. are scary and brainwashed.

Don't forget to huge fill light provided by the surrounding MOON! The Astronaut is wearing a white suit which would be bright enough to cause the shadow of the lander to appear darker than it normally would do to the exposure of the camera. Remove the astronaut and then the lander shadow is mild enough to read the sign posted to it. Another way would be to move in closer so the shadow fills more of the camera lens so you could open the exposure more.

Evil: Why should it matter whether the camera was adjusted automatically or manually. It still had to be adjusted.

Ok, here's an experiment you can do right now. I recommend you do so. Take a desk lamp, go into a darkened room with something to look at. Turn the lamp on. Look directly into the lamp. Observe how the rest of the room looks with that lamp in your face. Now have it still in front of you, but pointing up. Observe.

When you are viewing objects at a much higher light level, all lower levels appear less distinguished, sometimes simply black.

THAT is why you don't see stars.

Get this amazing physics concept. Light and white colored things reflect light. When light strikes the moon's surface, light waves reflect off in ALL directions, and some smack into the "dark side" of the astronauts or the objects and thus the darker sides aren't so dark. If the moon's surface was pitch black, then you would see the total dark spots.

If there were multiple bright light sources, there would be multiple shadows. And in NONE of the pictures is there even the faintest hint of a second shadow on ANYTHING.

Oh and whoever said that the camera would adjust to the average light or the dimest light has it exactly backwards.

The camera would adjust to the brightest light source; if it adjusted to the dimest, the aperature would be wide open and the bright light would completely wash the negative so that when the negative was developed you'd have nothing but a white piece of photographic paper.

Is there even a point to this? If you want to believe it was fake I can't change your mind. But if you really do believe it's fake, I can't imagine what kind of proof you need for the every days things like your own exsitance.

Look at the photo and tell yourself that wasn't taken on the moon. Don't you feel foolish? At some point the coverup would have to be even more difficult than actually going to the moon. I mean how many people are in on it? Your family too? How much evidence was tampered with? The moon itself?

MonsterThrilla, Newtons law...

Look at a Earth launch. Not only is the gravitational pull of the Earth a factor but also the density of the ground. Which is usually constructed out of materials that will make the thrust as effective as possible in those 1st few secounds.

None of Newtons theories could work out the solidity/density of the moon surface, it could have been gray sand 100 metres deep for all we know.
Not only that, but the thrusters fire at equal levels on Earth with Equal burn times etc.
This was not a consideration when the modul took off from the Luner surface. Try to get that thing launched on Earth chances are it would have flipped & nose dive back into the ground, looking at the airodynamic design of the thing, it stood more chance of doing that than taking of back into orbit.

Far too many open ends.

ALIEN,

I can see your point but, the light reflecting off the earth and surrounding moon would be incredibly difracted; It wouldn't be focused enough to effectively light the figures in the shadow or the foreground of that one closeup of the astronaut.

I could buy the idea of reflection off the flat surfaces of the lander module but, it had a wide base and a narrower top so all the flat surfaces would reflect light UP not down to the figure on the ladder near the surface.

Something else that bugged me though that the show never even considered.....

When the module took off and left, who was staying behind to film it?




j/k on that last one lol!
