The Reality of Apollo / Hasselblad Resources?

« Last post by TimberWolfAu on Today at 02:11:52 AM »

Hi All,

Does anyone have anything they can share, or know where to find, some good resources on the Hasselblad cameras used during Apollo? Primarily interested in the testing that went into the cameras, how it was determined that they would survive the lunar environment for example the expected solar energy being received on the sunlit side of the camera vs the shadowed side of the camera emitting heat.
I've found comments around that things like the silvered paint reflecting possibly some 95% of the incoming energy, the constant change in the angle of the sun (moving from sunlight to shadow, different sides being in shadow), and such would have kept the body of the camera in an almost constant state of receiving and emitting energy (and consequently not transferring or loosing much energy internally).

Can anyone assist?

Eh -- I think "grifter" is the more accurate term.  True Poes (hah) aren't motivated by money, at least not in my experience. 

But my experience could be limited.

I'd wager everyone's experience is limited because the number of nationally recognized Apollo hoax proponents is fairly limited. Ralph René was considerably motivated by money. In my private interactions with him, I never got a good handle on whether he believed his own bunk. But he definitely considered it a money-making activity, and he was livid that people like David Percy and Bart Sibrel had stolen his market. He also alleged that they stole his material, which is questionable.

Is that why they've all monetized their channels on X?

I gather this whole hoax thing has never been anything more than a convenient grift for him.

Globe earth realists have a name for people who pretend to be flat-earthers.  I think it probably applies to Bart too.

The Reality of Apollo / Re: Apollo 11 and 17 imaged by South Korea

And now there's every chance that Apollo 15 has been viewed by Danuri's "Shadowcam" imager. Designed to look in areas normally in darkness, it's also been used to see the lunar surface under Earthshine conditions.

Here's their image browser:

and the specific link to the data:

With a lot of forcing (HDR toning, increasing the dpi etc etc), I've been able to compare the Apollo 15 landing site with the LRO view:



For my money, there is something there where the LM should be, and a hint of a trail to the ALSEP site.

Oh yeah, he'll never allow a direct debate.  He's much too afraid of having his empire of lies exposed, knowing he can't defend them in real time.  Bart always requires a safety net.

Even then it's iffy. He was invited to appear on the Channel 4 program I participated in. It wouldn't have been a live debate or an ambush. He would have had his own segment, filmed separately, just like all the other talent. To this day he maintains he wanted to appear, but was denied for ideological reasons. The real reason was that he demanded a $2500 appearance fee. He priced himself out of the market. I gather this whole hoax thing has never been anything more than a convenient grift for him.

I'd like to see HIM ambushed with cameras and mics, bombarded with questions. It would make interesting viewing.

I'd love to see Sibrel in a debate, he really isn't used to people questioning him.

Probably the closest thing you'll see to a direct confrontation was the time I challenged him to answer for his claims in the chat room during his appearance on Team Alpha.  He acknowledged me but then got pissy and summarily ignored all my questions.
