Earth going between command module windows?
« on: November 05, 2013, 07:58:40 PM »
I remember one time seeing a video that showed the earth zoomed in on from a far distance on one of the apollo flights and the the earth went between 2 different command module windows as the space craft was rotating.   It was interesting as it showed it was not a transparency or some other nonsense theory that hoaxers say the videos were faked with. 

In other words it showed that they were not just in LEO but were in fact on their way to the moon.

Anyone know of the video I'm talking about and where you can see the clip?

I think Moving Finger on the David Icke forum showed the earth rotated to debunk that theory (also the weather patterns matched the satellite images). I can't find the post because I think you can't search the site unless you join. Frankly life is too short to waste time in that bat shit crazy place.

This you Tube video shows the rotation during the broadcast.

Here's a video about the satellite pictures of Earth cpmared to those from from Apollo video comparison by the LunarTuner, and another by GreaterSapien that shows the porthole and transparency claims aren't just wrong, but almost certainly an intentional lie of omission on Sibrel and Percy's part. I think the latter may be what you are talking about.

Yes, thats it raven.   The second video.   Clearly shows Sibrel to be a liar...they completely ommited that from their moon hoax video.   Wonder why... ;D

Sibrel initially claimed that clip wasn't part of the materials NASA sent him and was fabricated later to discredit him.  Then Mark Gray (executive producer at Spacecraft Films) painstakingly showed that Sibrel had quoted from other portions of that same film clip and thus had no excuse for missing the exculpatory evidence.

This is one of the few things that actually gets me mad. I can take the sheer ignorance of many conspiracy theorists, as I myself am deeply ignorant on a lot of things, including much to do with Apollo. But this? This is  is somebody preying on other's ignorance and fears for personal gain.
Sibrel (and Percy also) are nothing but frauds and thieves. Calling the kettle black, indeed!

I wish I was that good on my feet.

I believe our excitable friend Jarrah W. explains this shot by way of some as-yet-undiscovered studio "globe". 

So we have one CT proposing a studio production using a mystery globe, another proposing a transparency taped to the viewport, and yet another proposing earth from low orbit, using the window as a cropping device.

What a perfect crystallization of their mode of operation.  The best and only strategy the hoaxters have is to shoot arrows in the dark and hope one hits something.

I think there is a variant of the last one in which it is a gibbous cut-out, as the lit Earth in that shot isn't even a circle. Still debunked by the above video though.

He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named also claimed that NASA weather forecasting was good enough to predict cloud patterns three days in advance, so they could have created accurate "transparencies" ahead of time.  I guess that's another skill that was 'lost' along with everything else.

I think it would need to be longer than that, as someone would need to paint the cloud patterns in enough detail that no brush strokes are seen. That would take some time in itself.

Yet another example of how NASA has the budget and technology to do anything a conspiracy theorist imagines -- except fly to the Moon.

You're in a position to have a sounder opinion on this than I am, but I'm still inclined to think that (as incredibly difficult as it was) actually going to the moon was easier than a hoax of this magnitude would have been.

Yeah man they went to every last detail with the earth in this hoax even right up to having accurate transparencies with the right weather patterns down to the last details...except for putting stars in the pictures of the sky they took on the moon stage for the EVA footage....they effed up on that one. ;)

Almost certainly, yes.  I'm not an expert, but I can't figure out how they'd film it, much less anything else.
