Mot every conspiracy theorist lies of course.

actually, this whole site is about believing we went to the moon.

Everyone here seems to want to defend that

But what about the fact that nasa have lost the moontapes?????


You couldn't make this up! what utter non sense it all is!

That's true enough, many of them are just ignorant. We are all ignorant of a lot of things of course, its when you make wild claims and accusations based on nothing but your ignorance it becomes a problem.

actually, this whole site is about believing we went to the moon.

Actually I would consider it about looking at the evidence.

But what about the fact that nasa have lost the moontapes?????

What about it? Have you actually done any research into this?

You may find the answer at:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_11_missing_tapes
Why would loosing some tapes from a mission be anything but poor record management at worst be "evidence" of a cover-up?  Well over 99% of the data from all the missions is stored.  This has been debunked many times if you will only look for the story.

Very true. Most of them just repeat the same old debunked garbage without doing a modicum of research.


But what about the fact that nasa have lost the moontapes?????

What about it? How does that affect the historical fact that something happened?

I have lost countless photos, both digital and physical, of various events in my life. Are you really saying that because some imagery is missing that the event's didn't happen?

When you say "moontapes" you do recognise that there was more than one moonwalk and there are many, many hours of footage of those?
Also, what do you say to the fact that there are many copies of the NTSC broadcast of the monwalk?

Welcome to the forum, Tindarormkimcha. 

What do you think was actually "lost?" Specifically what were the "moontapes" you refer to?   What do you think were the circumstances of the loss?"

What in particular? I have no belief in any superior beings so it would mean nothing to me. I look at what was achieved and how rather than trying to door step someone.

Not really when you consider they already had copies of everything and had overwritten the tapes because it was getting harder to get new tapes from the manufacturer.  IIRC that particular tape used whale oil in the binder which had caused a shortage of new tapes at the time.

What a stupid joke it all is!

Barman: We don't serve neutrinos in here.

A neutrino walks into a bar.

There you go, just to prove that all jokes aren't stupid. This one requires a subtle understanding of causality and special relativity and hit physics circles shortly after a result from the LHC (the result has now been found to a 10 ns delay in the instrument). The engineers, technicians and scientists that worked on the Apollo program were far from stupid and far from being a joke.

Maybe because they've read the part where J.C. says one shall not swear?

Tels us somehing, doesn't it?
Tells us several things: Astronauts know their Bible and astronauts can tell obnoxious hoax nuts from real reporters.
Calling astronauts "psychos" is also not a sign of intelligence, but rather of wanting to sound provocative.
Maybe you could tell us what swearing on the Bible would accomplish with respect to astronauts? Would it make the reporter instantly recant and suddenly accept the moon landings for real? Or would the reporter accuse the astronaut of "perjury"?

People here probably also believe that evolutio is true, black holes exist, relativity theory is right, quantum nechanics is correct, that there was a Biggie Bangie.

Really?  He lies at 2:16 saying there are multiple shadows on a single object.  This is NOT seen in Apollo.  Why does he have to lie to try to make his points?

Edit:  he claims later the second shadow is from Earthshine.  I doubt that is bright enough for a second shadow.  I've never seen two shadows on a single object.
But he makes it clear he doesn't believe in a Moon hoax.

They were talking specifically about testing the electronics on the new capsule which IIRC are more sensitive than those used on Apollo.  They also specifically sent it through the thicker parts of the belts for testing when Apollo took a path AROUND the thickest parts through the thinner outer edges.

Neither have you, by the sounds of it. Let me help you
Hoax believer rings in to radio show saying that space suits can't work. Claims that there is nothing written about them. Offers no evidence, calculations or shows any competence in the field, only opinion.
Kaku hands him a pile of common misconceptions and then explains that he has personally viewed moonrocks microscopically.

A good effort from Dr Kaku, and I've looked at my monitor oddly at some of his statements. It's a perfect example of why having a PhD does not mean one has reached erudition in other fields. Despite Tindarormkimcha's criticism of the forum, we defer to those with requisite knowledge and will hold our hand up when we are wrong. I have yet to see a CT behave in this manner.

Since you have said everything was against us, I'm trying to establish a starting point to address your claim. It's called asking a question, not editing what you wrote. I think the phrase you are really looking for  is putting words into your mouth. Since your claims are so broad I'm trying to find some words we can agree upon. Everything is quite a broad claim in the context of human knowledge and endeavor.

It's much less to do with belief, much, much more to do with understanding the supporting evidence. In addition, looking at and discounting alternatives that don't stack up to what is observed. To do this requires education. Something that you evidently have not had much exposure to.

OK, let's get this straight, you are making the claim that the moon landings were faked and have said everything was against us. That does not give me (us) a lot to go with, so I'm trying to find common ground by finding out what part of the Apollo program you agree upon. So, you agree a big space rocket took off. Now, that removes one factor from 'everything.' Right, after that, where do you disagree. Was the rocket suborbital or did it make LEO?

You might want to care whether he ever said it or not. It would say something about your research skills.

sure, now we have an Ad Hominem on our hands. where do they find these people?

No, you don't.

Did Mark Twain say what you think he said. Find me the book it's in.

Or did you just copy some crap from the internet without bothering to check it was true or not?

Given your posting history so far I think I know the answer...


So, you really didn't get the point then, mate?!

Figures.

And you seem unable to answer questions.

How convenient for them!



of course it is all a hoax! Everything on this earth is!

Simply linking to an 8 year old popular newspaper article about a widely know event is hardly an argument for a hoax.  The article has some notable inaccuracies that don't detract from the event in question but show it is not as precise as one would want to rely on as part of a "proof."

And actually what you think is important to your making your argument.  That is why you are here isn't it, to make a case for the moon landings being hoaxed?  We are certainly here to listen to any case that you might want to make,  Helping myself and others to understand what you are saying is the point of my questions so please reply in as much detail as you can.

Now you've really got my interest. We can always talk about the anthropic principle within the framework of quantum mechanics. Would our Universe exist if I was not in it to observe its nature? Friends and I were debating the philosophy of the anthropic principle over dinner the other night and whether it is a statement of the blinding obvious, viz it is because it is, or actually does the Universe exist within its current parameters because we are in it. It's a difficult question, and maybe you have a point about our belief in quantum mechanics and relativity. Maybe those theories exist in their format because they describe the Universe we live in, and it is only because we are in the Universe that they exist. It's quite a metaphysical debate.

Maybe you could try to back that claim up, but your initial showing makes me doubt it.  Look, Tindarormkimcha, I usually give new posters the benefit of the doubt, but so far your posts are at the level of a YouTube comments troll.  In the off-chance you want to be taken seriously, you'll have to put a little thought and maturity into it. 

People here probably also believe that evolutio is true, black holes exist, relativity theory is right, quantum nechanics is correct, that there was a Biggie Bangie.

Ordinarily, the part about quantum mechanics, coming from someone using a solid-state device, would be funny.  But, really, I think you're just trolling, so that kind of negates the amusement factor.

I really wonder why all the stupids out there don't believe we went to the moon. The evidence for the reality of the Apollo program is utterly overwhelming, as opposed to the hoax theory, for which there is not one single piece of evidence that cannot and has not been thoroughly debunked.

Everything is just against it.

Such as?

People here probably also believe that evolutio is true, black holes exist, relativity theory is right, quantum nechanics is correct, that there was a Biggie Bangie.

Well I certainly do, because they are true

Evolution is not a theory, its a fact.
Black Holes have been detected and observed.
The validity Quantum Mechanics has been demonstrated numerous times.
The Big Bang definitely happened, its just the nature of it that is under question at the moment (branes, multiverse, multi-dimensions, string theory, dark matter, dark energy)

Pick one piece of evidence, start a thread on it and employ some logic of your own.

Otherwise obvious troll is obvious.

if you don't see the circular reasoning in thuis, then the one trolling is you, mate.

You are funny, but ah well, let's pick the moon rocks! It has been proven they are faked! right?

Wrong.

Quote
"Moon rock" in museum is just petrofied wood.
(http://media3.s-nbcnews.com/j/ap/97a493bc-80a7-4af8-bd49-d6f1c24f68b3.grid-6x2.jpg)


AMSTERDAM ā€” It's not green cheese, but it might as well be.
The Dutch national museum said Thursday that one of its prized possessions, a rock supposedly brought back from the moon by U.S. astronauts, is just a piece of petrified wood.
Rijksmuseum spokeswoman Xandra van Gelder, who oversaw the investigation that proved the piece was a fake, said the museum will keep it anyway as a curiosity.
"It's a good story, with some questions that are still unanswered," she said. "We can laugh about it."
The museum acquired the rock after the death of former Prime Minister Willem Drees in 1988. Drees received it as a private gift on Oct. 9, 1969, from then-U.S. ambassador J. William Middendorf during a visit by the three Apollo 11 astronauts, part of their "Giant Leap" goodwill tour after the first moon landing.
Middendorf, who lives in Rhode Island, told Dutch broadcaster NOS news that he had gotten it from the U.S. State Department, but couldn't recall the exact details.
"I do remember that (Drees) was very interested in the little piece of stone," the NOS quoted Middendorf as saying. "But that it's not real, I don't know anything about that."
Advertise

He could not immediately be reached for comment Thursday.
The U.S. Embassy in the Hague said it was investigating the matter.
The museum had vetted the moon rock with a phone call to NASA, Van Gelder said.
She said the space agency told the museum then that it was possible the Netherlands had received a rock: NASA gave moon rocks to more than 100 countries in the early 1970s, but those were from later missions.

Challenge for conspiracy hypothesists (honestly, "theorists" is a bit of a stretch in my book):
Create a faked moon rock that experts in the field would accept as being undoubtedly from the moon.
This should be easy these days, with knowledge what isotope ratios to strive for and how zap pits look.
Document how you did it. Present the evidence. Convince the world and become an instant celebrity.

I am rather curious why and how people believe this utter nonsense.


So, come on.

Maybe you can convince me, and pull me back in your little cult.
Why?  ALL the facts point to it.  It is completely internally and externally consistent.  It isn't just the photos and videos, but the tracking done by third parties, the samples brought back, the literal warehouses full of data collected from the missions that ALL points to real landings.  In 40+ years, not a single hoax argument has stood up to scrutiny.  In fact, hoaxies often just betray how little they know about the subject.  I've lost track of how many hoax believers still think there should be stars in the photos or how many are not even aware there was more than one landing.

There is another not speeded up
I found this after watching a Marcus Allen video in which he "was just asking" whether an error occurred on the deployment, because he couldn't find it, only the MESA open.  He "asked NASA" whether the rover was deployed on the starboard side.  NASA "never" answered.  lol

So the rocket they launched into the sky was a scam them? Did that rocket make LEO or was it sub-orbital (in your view). Did the astronauts at least make space? What are your thoughts on this, or are you going to dance around questions and just carry on with name calling and citing the self proclaimed Grandson Wanabee of the Moonhoax Conspiracy. What is your starting point given the evidence that a huge rocket launched into the sky. Where I am angling is that rocket took thousands of people to build and design, and required vast amounts of infrastructure to support such a venture. So when did the hoodwinking start, how far did they get after the rocket launch?

DAVE HOOK MOON HOAX SONG


Now it all started back in '62
JFK told the people what he would do
Put a man on the moon by decade's end
Land him safe and bring him home again

Now he was a great speaker we all know
And he even banged Marilyn Monroe
But he was also just a politician
And Jack "knew Jack" about any space mission

But now NASA had to get their ass in gear
And suddenly their hearts were full of fear
'cus they were way behind in the space race
And now big mouth Kennedy was setting them all up for disgrace
And their funding stood at a couple BILL
So they would not admit defeat, and never will

And they said:

If we can't make it, then we'll fake it
If we can't do it, then screw it
We'll shoot it in the desert on a sound stage
Put it on the TV and the front page

And we'll shoot it all in black and white
Even though we got a colour camera on the flight
We'll bring jeeps but we'll take no telescopes
We'll shoot some golf balls all around
Then stick a flag into the ground
And that should be enough for the boob-tube-watching dopes

'Cus there's facts about space travel most don't know
That radiation gets more intense the farther out you go
It starts at about a thousand miles out
Go farther than that and you will die there is no doubt
Unless you cover yourself with 4 feet of lead
Any less than that, and brother you'd be dead

But to build a ship like that, why even try?
It would be far too heavy to ever fly
Now Kennedy thought this was plausible
But NASA knew it was impossible

So they said if we can't make it then we'll fake it
If we can't do it, then screw it
We'll shoot it in the desert on a sound stage
Put it on the TV and the front page

And we'll bring spotlights just for fun
Even though the only light source is the sun
But we need them for the pictures we're gonna take
But no photos of stars or other stuff
Some young astronomer may call our bluff
And this can never come out that it's fake
'Cus it's much too dangerous to really go
On live TV? I don't f-ing think so

We'll have to shoot the whole thing in advance
For an unhappy ending we can't take the chance
We'll show them meteors we found on earth if they want proof
When you control the media you control the truth

Full body pictures of Neil Armstrong on the moon: there are only two
Do you realize he's never even granted one single interview?
But these facts don't leave me too surprised
Ask him no questions and he'll tell you no lies

'Cus he knows:

They couldn't make it, so they had to fake it
They couldn't do it, just said 'screw it'
They shot it in the desert on a sound stage
Put it on the TV and the front page

Then sent a satellite feed of their con
To a few on the ground who knew what was going on
And then they beamed it out to all the excited folks
But they were never two hundred & fifty thousand miles away
George Bush says we're going back some day
But the first time around it was a hoax

They slowed the film, and hid the wires
They were very, very clever liars
But the first time around it was a hoax.

The pro-Apollo crowd will go to almost any lengths to keep their moonlanding mythology alive.  From misrepresenting opponentsā€™ positions, debunking non-existent claims, presenting arguments they know are invalid (and hoping you donā€™t), ignoring key arguments and critical evidence, presenting farcical explanations for the numerous photographic and other anomalies, quote mining, bashing opponentsā€™ long-since-corrected mistakes, lodging fraudulent copyright and privacy claims to get videos pulled, using ridicule in place of argument, character assassinations, and ā€“ when all else fails ā€“ outright lying.  You name it, theyā€™ll do it!

Look up "projection."

Jack White's BS now?  He subtracted time for different experiments because he didn't realize that part of the experiment was taking pictures and documenting it.  He thinks there are too many photos because his only experience was with studio photography and couldn't comprehend that a point and shoot type of photo doesn't take any time to set up.  He didn't realize that multiple photos could be taken in rapid succession when they did the panoramas.  IIRC he didn't realize there were two cameras on each mission from Apollo 12 on.  He also didn't realize that you can see most of the photos being taken in the videos and they are also mentioned in the transcripts.  Simply put, he was wrong.

No, every one of these out-of-context factoids and silly conspiracy claims you are regurgitating can and have been explained here and on other forums many times.  The problem is that you can't explain them; copying and pasting things you don't understand isn't an argument.  Again, this isn't a YouTube comments thread; you're expected to put a little thought into your claims.

He is spot on, mate! I know you do't like that.

I think Apollo happened largely as described, and unlike you I have actually studied the program a little and have some clue what I'm talking about.  I work in his field, in fact, and used to work for the guys that designed the vehicles that returned men from space beginning with Mercury.  Come to think of it, I've worked in the same hangar in which the Mercury capsules were readied for flight.  I think it's funny that you're calling us "liers", as if the opinion of an anonymous, clueless troll counted for anything.

Of course, if you don't like being called a troll and having your ineptitude called out, then you could grow up and try to learn something.   I don't hold out much hope for that, but as always I am prepared to be pleasantly surprised.

A peer-reviewed "paper that we have been to the moon" is a straw man born of exceptional ignorance.  You don't get published just for announcing a self-evident fact, and certainly it does not require peer review just to say that.

Instead we can certainly show you the mountain of peer-reviewed literature covering various facets of Apollo science and engineering.  The list of just the titles of the geology research papers runs to something like 20 pages.  As for the engineering, there were entire conferences held in the aeronautics and astronautics fields on such things as guidance, propulsion, electronics design, control systems, etc.  All this literature rests upon the premise that Apollo was genuine.  A "peer-reviewed paper" addressing alleged fraudulence in Apollo is not forthcoming, nor ever will be.  Why?  Because the notion that Apollo was faked is so absolutely ludicrous among actual scientists and engineers that it doesn't get serious mention.  It's on par, in those well-informed circles, with saying that the Earth is flat or that trees are responsible for snow.  The conspiracy crowd needs to get it in their heads that their rants have no visibility beyond their YouTube cliques.

You certainly have swallowed everything yourself.

Here's a statement for you to work on:

There is not one piece of evidence, not one, that proves that anyone at NASA gave the former Dutch PM a piece of fossilised wood. There is not one piece of evidence, not one, that anyone remotely connected with the Apollo 11 Goodwill tour gave any piece of fossilised wood to anyone. There is not one piece of evidence that anyone ever claimed that this fossil was from the moon. Not one.

There is plenty of evidence that the fossilised wood was a stunt by two artists for an exhibition. I own a copy of the exhibition programme.

Show me some proof that I'm wrong.

Australian Viewers See Something
That Proves Apollo 11 Was A Fake

In western Australia during the live broadcast of the Apollo 11 moon landing, several people saw a very unusual occurrence. One viewer, Una Ronald watched the telecast and was astonished with what she saw.

The residents of Honeysuckle Creek, Australia, actually saw a different broadcast to the rest of the World. Just shortly before Armstrong stepped onto the Moons surface, a change could be seen where the picture goes from a stark black to a brighter picture. Honeysuckle Creek stayed with the picture and although the voice transmissions were broadcast from Goldstone, the actual film footage was broadcast from Australia. As Una watched Armstrong walking on the surface of the Moon she spotted a Coke bottle that was kicked in the right hand side of the picture. This was in the early hours of the morning and she phoned her friends to see if they had seen the same thing, unfortunately they had missed it but were going to watch the rebroadcast the next day. Needless to say, the footage had been edited and the offending Coke bottle had been cut out of the film. But several other viewers had seen the bottle and many articles appeared in The West Australian newspaper.

Western Australia received their coverage in a different way to the rest of the World. They were the only Country where there wasn't a delay to the 'live' transmission.  Bill Kaysing says 'NASA and other connected agencies couldn't get to the Moon and back and so went to ARPA (Advanced Research Projects Agency) in Massachusetts and asked them how they could simulate the actual landing and space walks. We have to remember that all communications with Apollo were run and monitored by NASA, and therefore journalists who thought they were hearing men on the Moon could have easily been misled. All NASA footage was actually filmed off TV screens at Houston Mission Control for the TV coverage... No one in the media were given the raw footage.'

Bill Wood is a highly qualified scientist and has degrees in mathematics, physics and chemistry, and a space rocket and propulsion engineer.  He has been granted high security clearance for a number of top secret projects and has worked with Macdonald Douglas and engineers who worked on the Saturn 5 rocket (the Apollo launch vehicle). He worked at Goldstone as a Communications Engineer during the Apollo missions. Goldstone in California, USA, were responsible for receiving and distributing the pictures sent from the Apollo to Houston. He says early video machines were used to record the NASA footage here on Earth by the TV networks. They received the FM carrier signal on Earth, ran it through an FM demodulator and processed it in an RCA scan converter that took the slow scan signal and converted it to the US standard black and white TV signal. The film was then sent onto Houston. When they were converting from slow scan to fast scan, RCA used disc and scan recorders as a memory and it played back the same video several times until it got an updated picture. In other words the signal was recorded onto video one then converted to video two.  Movie film runs at 30 frames per second, whereas video film runs at 60 frames per second. So in other words the footage that most people saw that they thought was 'live' wasn't, and was actually 50% slower than the original footage!!!

Ignorance of optics masquerading as expertise.  The disc in the image is not the sun; it is a lens artifact that has saturated the film.  Contrary to the author's claims, people take pictures of the sun directly all the time without having the whole frame exposed.

Ignorance of computer image processing masquerading as expertise.  Simply fiddling with Photoshop sliders does not prove the identification of something.

...

Provides no evidence; simply offers an insinuation without proof.

...

Promotes a cherry-picked still frame from a film as the only evidence of the crew's disposition.  Begs the question of what the crew's disposition should be from moment to moment.

...

Covered in depth at Clavius.org.  Does not consider any legitimate reasons why the tracks might be obliterated.  Proposes an absurd explanation: lowering a wheeled prop into place.

...

Affirmed consequent.  The method insinuated is used because it effectively simulates real life.  It cannot be used to determine whether something is in fact real life.

...

Misidentifies several materials and techniques in the LM's construct.  Begs the question what a spacecraft should look like.  You have no qualifications in space engineering, so explain why everyone who does accepts this as a valid spacecraft.

In 1969 computer chips had not been invented. The maximum computer memory was 256k, and this was housed in a large air conditioned building. In 2002 a top of the range computer requires at least 64 Mb of memory to run a simulated Moon landing, and that does not include the memory required to take off again once landed. The alleged computer on board Apollo 11 had 32k of memory. That's the equivalent of a simple calculator.

1. Since the moon missions were over, just maybe they resigned because they weren't going back to the moon?
2. Personal reasons?(Eisele for one was in the dog house at NASA and would never fly again)
3. Changing professions?(Swigert was elected to Congress)
Now show where the 1-10000 statistical is valid for your assertion?  And that it applies here.

Australian Viewers See Something
That Proves Apollo 11 Was A Fake

In western Australia during the live broadcast of the Apollo 11 moon landing, several people saw a very unusual occurrence. One viewer, Una Ronald watched the telecast and was astonished with what she saw.

This was in the early hours of the morning and she phoned her friends to see if they had seen the same thing, unfortunately they had missed it but were going to watch the rebroadcast the next day

Um, the Apollo 11 moon walk was in the early AFTERNOON in Australia.

Certainly was :D As proved by the photos.

They may have had some idea that no one was going to leave Earth orbit for the next 40 odd years. Been there, done that, time to get on with life.

It's not as if it's a big secret.  Practically every Apollo astronaut has written a memoir, and the reason they typically give is to return to home and family after devoting what was for some several years of 7-days-a-week, 14-hours-a-day labor.  They trained and worked hard, flew their missions, and then simply wanted a respite.  Of course no conspiracy theorist accepts that answer.  They pretend it's some mystery and insinuate otherwise.  Pure wishful thinking.

Plus, it had pilots. People on board to to judge the situation and make changes when needed. For example, if Apollo 11 had been a probe, its autopilot would have taken it into a boulder field, and it likely would have crashed. But Neil went manual and guided the thing down, using his skill, experience and his eyeballs and brain to make corrections the computer could not.
Tindarormkimcha, before Apollo 11 landed, there was unmanned probes sent by both the former Soviet Union and NASA that landed on the moon. If landing on the moon is impossible with two trained pilots on board the lander, should it not be also impossible to unmanned landers? Yet  other conspiracy theorists try to explain away the presence of reflectors, something verifiable by any with the right equipment, by saying NASA sent them unmanned.
The presence of reflectors is undeniable, yet if they could be sent unmanned, which the Russians did do by the way, then the computers of the time could also be enough to send trained pilots to do the same.
You can't have it both ways.

How about you prove to us that you actually understand the subject and can discuss it intelligently instead of just copying and pasting from other sites? I'm so fed up with hoax believers like you who come in here guns blazing just to create a high post count as quickly as possible.

You have made 67 posts in a little over 24 hours, and there has been no substance to any of them. It has just been a regurgitation of other people's hoax claims that were debunked years ago. Do you not feel shame from the poor quality of your argument? Do you not look at what you have posted and think "I can do better!"? Your work has been lazy. If you were my student, I would fail you. If you were my employee, I would fire you.

So here is the deal: I'm close to banning you for trolling since you appear to be more interested in provoking anger than you are in having an intelligent conversation. But I'm going to give you one more chance. Pick your strongest proof that the moon landings were faked and make your case. We will discuss it until there is agreement to move on to the next topic. If you continue to just spam the forum with material from other hoax believers without at least attempting to discuss it I will ban you. Or would you rather just admit you don't have what it takes and quit now?

Tind-what'shisface doesn't want to engage in conversation though- he wants to be banned as quickly as possible. Then he can go back to his normal haunts and tell the story that his "evidence" was so bad-ass that he was banned at Apollohoax. The luna-tics over here were unable to deal with his devastating debating skillorz that we were running around in panic. The last thing that he wants to do is actually look at any of the debunking evidence, or heavens forbid, actually enter into conversation with anyone here. it's a bit like suicide by cop (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide_by_cop)....the last think that someone determined to go that way is some smart-arse intellectual who's been to university and everything ::), coming along and explaining that there's more to life, or convincing him that he might actually be wrong!

I can imagine the sort of person that Tinda-what'shisface is. After all, what sort of person would come into any room IRL and start by trying to insult as many people as possible? He's probably had little formal education and is either high on the idea that he has some special knowledge that's not available to the sheeple like us, or he's frustrated with his lack of achievement in life. As Mr. Windley has stated ""Conspiracism is a shortcut to the illusion of erudition."

Sooo, NASA is going to proudly display the props they used to execute the fake?

Ah, yes but... it's whistle blowing, release a little bit of information here and there because you're disgruntled and want to expose the hoax. Dincha know that?

I've never quite understood that argument either. Why? Because the models they show look so 60s sci-fi special effects and wouldn't convince my mother. Again, who makes this stuff up? Do they have a committee to float ideas.

Percy: 'Sorry Bill, the idea that they slowed the film down isn't good enough, we need to say they slowed it down by 100% and then screw up our maths proving it, Jarrah's already completed that part of the plan, then say they slowed it down 67% but added wires. That makes a much stronger case.'

Kaysing: 'But isn't that changing the goalposts.'

Percy: 'Erm not, sit down, Ralph has got a great idea.'

Ralph Rene: 'Late change to the agenda. Right, the C-rock idea again.'

All: [collective sigh]

I guess the CT argument would be that these aren't the actual models and they had the real McCoy stored away in Area 51, and they were guarded by aliens/lizardmen/shapeshifters/freemasons/von Braun/CIA/Lee Harvey Oswald [circle the word you want to use].

I believe those were used in a simulation. That is, as part of the flight training of the Apollo astronauts,  closed circuit cameras linked to controls in the LM and CSM and moved over the model in response, the video being displayed in the 'windows'. A similar system was used for aircraft flight simulators  before real time computer graphics became practical for this.

In a similar manner to the  LM/CM docking sequence in the film Apollo 13?

Maybe someone else can answer this question, but Bill Kaysing made a big song and dance about the Apollo Simulation Programme (correct term?). Was Kaysing's rationale that this was proof that they were preparing the hoax material? Do these people understand that 3 blokes didn't just turn up on the day and turn the ignition key on the Saturn V? There was a small matter of training for every aspect of the mission.

Aldrin: What shall we do today Neil?

Exactly; I've seen the same setup (camera "flying" over a model) used to train drone operators in the '60s.  The maps and models were made from astronomical and unmanned spacecraft observations.  The idea that there is something suspicious about NASA making such models to train flight crew is just ignorant and paranoid.  The idea that they would use these models to fake the missions is even "dumberer", since the use of such models and other forms of training were widely publicized.

In reality, our new found friend is not being fooled, as that implies he would have put some minimal effort into listening to others and making a differentiation or decision.  All evidence to date suggests a predilection to believe in woo so strong that he is seeking it out, not being persuaded.

I am sure he will be promoted to Pluto status soon enough.  That is to say, while he is currently in the club, but in a rather eccentric orbit, he will soon be a dim, minor former member of the forum.

The film would be damaged by radiation?
They couldn't take that many photographs?
The lunar rover didn't form perfect rooster tails?
Aldrin's boot print was impossible.

Take your pick Tindarormkimcha.

You are funny, but ah well, let's pick the moon rocks! It has been proven they are faked! right?

It was all an illusion, including that "moon rock" given to the Dutch "by the Apollo 11 astronauts". 
But wait, NASA published information on the goodwill tour, AND no rocks were given out?  hmmmmm
And as posted elsewhere in this thread, all samples given to countries, consisted of 4 small pieces encased in Lucite. hmmmm
He needs to come out and make a statement and give some facts like LunarOrbit has suggested.  BaaHaa, like that is going to happen.

"Moon rock" in museum is just petrofied wood.
(http://media3.s-nbcnews.com/j/ap/97a493bc-80a7-4af8-bd49-d6f1c24f68b3.grid-6x2.jpg)


AMSTERDAM ā€” It's not green cheese, but it might as well be.
The Dutch national museum said Thursday that one of its prized possessions, a rock supposedly brought back from the moon by U.S. astronauts, is just a piece of petrified wood.
Rijksmuseum spokeswoman Xandra van Gelder, who oversaw the investigation that proved the piece was a fake, said the museum will keep it anyway as a curiosity.
"It's a good story, with some questions that are still unanswered," she said. "We can laugh about it."
The museum acquired the rock after the death of former Prime Minister Willem Drees in 1988. Drees received it as a private gift on Oct. 9, 1969, from then-U.S. ambassador J. William Middendorf during a visit by the three Apollo 11 astronauts, part of their "Giant Leap" goodwill tour after the first moon landing.
Middendorf, who lives in Rhode Island, told Dutch broadcaster NOS news that he had gotten it from the U.S. State Department, but couldn't recall the exact details.
"I do remember that (Drees) was very interested in the little piece of stone," the NOS quoted Middendorf as saying. "But that it's not real, I don't know anything about that."
Advertise

He could not immediately be reached for comment Thursday.
The U.S. Embassy in the Hague said it was investigating the matter.
The museum had vetted the moon rock with a phone call to NASA, Van Gelder said.
She said the space agency told the museum then that it was possible the Netherlands had received a rock: NASA gave moon rocks to more than 100 countries in the early 1970s, but those were from later missions.
http://www.nbcnews.com/id/32581790/ns/technology_and_science-space/t/moon-rock-museum-just-petrified-wood/ (http://www.nbcnews.com/id/32581790/ns/technology_and_science-space/t/moon-rock-museum-just-petrified-wood/)

Uh-huh.

So after only one mission to the Moon NASA had so much Moon rock to spare that it was giving away chunks of...something...to former Prime Ministers of small European nations? Do you think that perhaps the six people who'd succeeded Drees as Dutch PM might want their chunk of rock too? And what about all the other former PMs of US-aligned countries? And while Drees gets a whole rock, the Netherlands as a country gets a piece the size of a grain of rice encased in acrylic...

Do you think your claim bears even a passing resemblance to reality?

Australian Viewers See Something
That Proves Apollo 11 Was A Fake

In western Australia during the live broadcast of the Apollo 11 moon landing, several people saw a very unusual occurrence. One viewer, Una Ronald watched the telecast and was astonished with what she saw.

The residents of Honeysuckle Creek, Australia, actually saw a different broadcast to the rest of the World. Just shortly before Armstrong stepped onto the Moons surface, a change could be seen where the picture goes from a stark black to a brighter picture. Honeysuckle Creek stayed with the picture and although the voice transmissions were broadcast from Goldstone, the actual film footage was broadcast from Australia. As Una watched Armstrong walking on the surface of the Moon she spotted a Coke bottle that was kicked in the right hand side of the picture. This was in the early hours of the morning and she phoned her friends to see if they had seen the same thing, unfortunately they had missed it but were going to watch the rebroadcast the next day. Needless to say, the footage had been edited and the offending Coke bottle had been cut out of the film. But several other viewers had seen the bottle and many articles appeared in The West Australian newspaper.

Nope, they didn't.

You see, I bothered to do the research. A few years ago I went to the National Library and read through the "West Australian" on microfilm from July to September 1969.

Lots of articles about Apollo 11 and how people in Perth were going to see the Moon walk. Even a few letters to the editor complaining about the cost of the mission. But no articles and no letters to the editor from anyone claiming to have seen any Coke bottles or other anomalies.

Western Australia received their coverage in a different way to the rest of the World. They were the only Country where there wasn't a delay to the 'live' transmission.  Bill Kaysing says 'NASA and other connected agencies couldn't get to the Moon and back and so went to ARPA (Advanced Research Projects Agency) in Massachusetts and asked them how they could simulate the actual landing and space walks. We have to remember that all communications with Apollo were run and monitored by NASA, and therefore journalists who thought they were hearing men on the Moon could have easily been misled. All NASA footage was actually filmed off TV screens at Houston Mission Control for the TV coverage... No one in the media were given the raw footage.'

Bill Wood is a highly qualified scientist and has degrees in mathematics, physics and chemistry, and a space rocket and propulsion engineer.  He has been granted high security clearance for a number of top secret projects and has worked with Macdonald Douglas and engineers who worked on the Saturn 5 rocket (the Apollo launch vehicle). He worked at Goldstone as a Communications Engineer during the Apollo missions. Goldstone in California, USA, were responsible for receiving and distributing the pictures sent from the Apollo to Houston. He says early video machines were used to record the NASA footage here on Earth by the TV networks. They received the FM carrier signal on Earth, ran it through an FM demodulator and processed it in an RCA scan converter that took the slow scan signal and converted it to the US standard black and white TV signal. The film was then sent onto Houston. When they were converting from slow scan to fast scan, RCA used disc and scan recorders as a memory and it played back the same video several times until it got an updated picture. In other words the signal was recorded onto video one then converted to video two.  Movie film runs at 30 frames per second, whereas video film runs at 60 frames per second. So in other words the footage that most people saw that they thought was 'live' wasn't, and was actually 50% slower than the original footage!!!

So if it was all faked beforehand how could Mission Control give the astronauts accurate scores from games in progress at the time? Or is the golf and baseball and football all faked too?

Also, why is it that all hoaxer believers seem to think Apollo sprang up from no-where? Ranger, Surveyor, Mercury and Gemini seem jibberish to them.

Because hoax believers are almost uniformly ignorant of just about everything to do with space flight in general and the Apollo program in particular.

But there's another problem, and that's the conspiracists' inability to understand and properly apply context.  It suits their desire to believe in a hoax, so they like to talk about, say, Apollo 11 in isolation  (assuming they even know there were other missions).  That allows them to appeal to the supposedly unique nature of the mission as an exception to technical history and claim that it sprung up out of nowhere (starting with "Kennedy shocked NASA by saying we'd go to the Moon") and then was whipped off the table like a magician's trick (e.g., "we never went back").  Of course, this completely ignores - well, is completely unaware of - the prodigious scientific and operational effort leading up to Apollo and the scientific and engineering results that came during and after the landings.  Even when hoax believers do accumulate various facts, like a crow collecting twigs and shiny objects, they inevitably fail to place them into context (e.g., the Australian "polar orbit" kid) because, unlike the crow, they lack the disposition and ability to do so.

The flip side of the HBs' context deficit is that when they do try to invoke context, it's a cargo-cult version of the real thing.  Anything is connected to anything without regard for whether there's any kind of causal link, or evidence, or consistency; the only criterion is whether verbal or written association can sound kind of suspicious if made in enough of a sneering tone and your audience doesn't really understand the subject ("Wheat shipments!  Killer electrons!")

It's the intellectual equivalent of watching political ads while stoked up on Cocoa Puffs and Red Bull.  The conspiracists get some sort of neural gratification, but it doesn't match up well against people who are knowledgeable and willing to really engage in a discussion, rather than just grunting at each other on comments forums.  That's why I don't intend to pay attention to Tindarormkimcha if he doesnt grow up a little; it's like arguing with a monkey in a cage flinging waste at you.  There's no point and it only gratifies the monkey.

No, it's the infamous "Una Ronald" (Not Her Real Nameā„¢) story from Mary Bennett and David Percy.  In their book Dark Moon they present this pseudonymous witness, whose real name has been withheld to protect her identity.  It also seems to prevent anyone from checking up on the claim.  But then in Percy's longer-than-Lawrence-of-Arabia film What Happened on the Moon? he shows "Una's" face onscreen.  So much for protecting her identity.

And as did Peter B, I also checked up on the story.  The archivist at the West Australian was quite helpful and confirmed not only that Una Ronald's claim had no basis in fact, but that to her knowledge Bennett and Percy never made any similar request themselves.  (The authors claim they attempted to confirm the "Una" story with the West Australian but got no answer.)

Of course the real problem with the "Una Ronald" story, if you don't want to read the Clavius link, is that it doesn't sound like a story that would be told by an Australian resident.  Too many details are simply wrong for it to be the testimony of someone who was actually there.  The wrong details are the kinds of mistakes a non-Australian would make if he were inventing a story about Australia and didn't do a lot of homework.  That the second edition of Dark Moon fixes those details doesn't help the authors' case.  When you've been caught with your hand in the cookie jar, the last thing you want to do is wipe the crumbs off your face while Mum is standing right there asking about it.

The informal "computer chip" leaves the meaning open to interpretation, but likely because the original author of that statement is ignorant.  That wording has been passed around a half-dozen web sites with no clear provenance.

Yes, integrated circuits were not new technology in the Apollo era.  Entire CPUs on one integrated circuit, not quite yet.  But the point is that after you make the qualitative leap to that type of circuit encapsulation, the rest of the argument is just scale.  Even today we're still piling more and more functions into single IC packages.  There hasn't been any qualitative shift of that ilk since 1960 or so.

Even computer-literate people today are only now reacquainting themselves (via the Raspberry Pi and the Arduino) with the notion of embedded digital microcontrollers.  Embedded systems are not engineered the same way general-purpose computers are, although they use some of the same techniques and components.

One of my assignments in college was a minimal guidance system.  I used simple, custom ALU components and only twelve words of erasable storage.  You can use only six words if you don't need to change the flight path after launch.  There was at least one pre-Apollo missile guidance system that used drum storage as its primary memory.  Eldon Hall's book goes into appreciable detail about the AGC's hardware pedigree.

To put it simply, Tindarormkimcha, reality has its own weight, while computer simulation must simulate the world itself. If you drop a ball, you don't need to do any calculations, but a simulation of dropping a ball would.
It's noteworthy that I have found no mention of the computer claims in Bill Kaysing's book, at least the preview on Google Books, despite being nearly contemporary with Apollo. This kind of claim comes from people who don't realize just how astounding the advances of computers have been. People hold in their pockets computers comparable to the supercomputers of the nineteen eighties.

I doubt if Tinda-whatever (or whoever he's cribbing from) understands the difference between an IC "computer chip" and a microprocessor "computer chip". As you noted SSI ICs had been around since the early 60's. Even the first microprocessors were just around the corner by the time of Apollo, with the Intel 4004 being released in '71.

As the Ars Technica article points out, the design brilliance of the Apollo guidance computer was in the software.  It was designed to be fault tolerant in a way that allowed it to focus on high priority tasks.   It didn't need a particularly elegant human interface because the operators were technologically savvy and were trained to work with the a minimal interface.   Learning history may be harder than simply making up bogus comparisons, but it is so much more interesting.

I believe those were used in a simulation. That is, as part of the flight training of the Apollo astronauts,  closed circuit cameras linked to controls in the LM and CSM and moved over the model in response, the video being displayed in the 'windows'. A similar system was used for aircraft flight simulators  before real time computer graphics became practical for this.

It was known as Project LOLA- Lunar Orbit and Landing Approach, which consisted of four separate models to simulate the Moon from 200 miles up.

If you are a hoax nut, then add $450 to your request, payable up front.

Watch out. They pay in hoaxbucks.

To put it simply, Tindarormkimcha, reality has its own weight, while computer simulation must simulate the world itself. If you drop a ball, you don't need to do any calculations, but a simulation of dropping a ball would.
It's noteworthy that I have found no mention of the computer claims in Bill Kaysing's book, at least the preview on Google Books, despite being nearly contemporary with Apollo. This kind of claim comes from people who don't realize just how astounding the advances of computers have been. People hold in their pockets computers comparable to the supercomputers of the nineteen eighties.


The thing is that the "AGC-wasn't-powerful-enough-to-navigate-to-the-moon" crowd don't even realise that, if push comes to shove, you don't even need a computer at all to navigate to the moon. You could do it with a sextant, a table of lunar orbital predictions (called an ephemeris), a slide rule and a window to see out of. It would take a lot more time to do the math, and be more prone to error so it would require lots of checking and rechecking.

OK you are in luck. I have 3 docs and I'm uploading them to dropbox now. I will send you the link via PM. Anyone else who wants them can PM me. If you are a hoax nut, then add $450 to your request, payable up front.

Update: PM sent, mate.
You're too easy
I know, but then I am a lier, mate. Or is it a lyer?

It was known as Project LOLA- Lunar Orbit and Landing Approach, which consisted of four separate models to simulate the Moon from 200 miles up.

Yet again, I learn something in the process of attempting to educate others. I admit, I didn't know the name or details of the project, I just knew something like that was the most reasonable explanation for its use.  And, what do you know, I was right.
I guess I just don't cut it as a conspiracy theorist, lol. ;D

Reminds me of the British Interplanetary Society's moon rocket plans, from the late 1930's. Or, for that matter, Gordon Cooper and Mercury-Atlas 7.

For Tindarormkimcha

Since you are so interested in popular writings on Apollo.  Here is a well written layman's article put up on Ars Technica about the guidance computer and the program alarms that threatened the A11 landing.

http://arstechnica.com/science/2015/07/no-a-checklist-error-did-not-almost-derail-the-first-moon-landing/

Thank you very much for that link, Echnaton -- it's an excellent piece of writing, very educational, and well worth saving.  If Tindarormkimcha doesn't appreciate it, at least many of the regulars here will.

While I quickly scanned most of the article, focused on a few bits, and still have to read everything closely, one thing really stood out:  It's the first recently-written history of an aspect of Apollo in which, for a change, I didn't see any errors. This is a real credit to the author -- it's obvious that he did his homework, unlike some other recent writers. In fact, I've got used to scanning articles quickly to see if they contain some of the more common errors.

I really didn't post it for Tinkar because I recognize that, like everyone else here, nothing we say will make a difference to him.   But it fit in with his posting/ranting so was appropriate and this is a good place to share links to good Apollo articles anyone of us come across. 

The writer, Lee Hutchinson is from League City, a small city near the the JSC and lives somewhere in Houston.  As a writer for a tech news site, he typically put great care into his reporting.  As with much online journalism, Ars Technica has something of the post first and make corrections later attitude.  As Jay commented above, the article covers the vagaries of technology design and engineering and just how much work it takes to do, what would otherwise be a much more straight forward design, when lives are on the line and full up testing is limited to a few events.

On the other hand, maybe the moon is a hollow constructed body full of Nazi clones biding their time until they spring out to invade the world. Only Tinkar would know for sure.

So is that it from Tinda-wahhisface? A drive-by, machine-gun, gish-gallop of clapped out drivel that's been debunked so many times it should have a bus-pass by now? Has he puffed himself out with all that copy-and-pasting, or is there more to come? He's still logging in and lurking, so he's reading this....

It's very evident that the hoax routine has pretty much run it's course now, isn't it? There's nothing new for them to offer. The Blunder tries but just makes himself look foolish by using big words and sums that he can't understand, Adrian van Weereld lives in a fantasy, paranoid world where he wears his underpants on the outside and imagines he is leading a shadowy organisation. Then you have the braying YouTube generation, such as our recent wee man, that can only regurgitate nonsense without any understanding of the words they are using.

You are funny, but ah well, let's pick the moon rocks! It has been proven they are faked! right?

Yeah, why not. Lets see your proof then, but before we do, lets agree terms. "Proof" does not mean a YouTube video with some teenager going "hur hur hur" in the background (if I wanted that, I can get that from you  ::) ). Proof means peer-reviewed evidence from an acknowledged expert in the field. "Expert" means someone with recognised credentials in the field, for example geology.

Lets go then.

this is getting ridiculous mate!

You are asking the impossible now. For a reason of course,fear is the key.
btw I have never seen a peer reviewed paper that we have been to the moon, so... with your logic, we never went mate! thanks!

anyway, about the moon rocks:

Quote
"Moon rock" in museum is just petrofied wood.
(http://media3.s-nbcnews.com/j/ap/97a493bc-80a7-4af8-bd49-d6f1c24f68b3.grid-6x2.jpg)

snip


Someone printed some faked bank notes recently. Does that mean that all the bank notes printed by the Royal Mint are fakes? Clearly not.

This lump of wood is clearly not a moon rock. All we have is a confused account of how it came into the possession of an elderly, deaf Dutch chap. Please explain how this proves that all the 800+lbs of rocks retrieved by Apollo astronauts  were faked?

Thanks

PS Here's the actual goodwill moonrocks given to the Netherlands in 1970, currently on display in a Dutch museum.

http://www.museumboerhaave.nl/object/maansteen-met-nederlandse-vlag-verzameling-v09113/

Looks nothing like the lump of wood and the tatty piece of card. Can you explain how the existence of a piece of wood proves that this sample is also faked?

Cheers

Many people here hide from the public under pseudonyms, because they don't want their friends and family harassed by the obsessive hoax crowd. My own facebook page does not show any friends, because I had trouble with a guy who ended in jail for decorating my face with knuckle marks.

The "thinking" process of the hoax believers means that they cannot imagine anyone but NASA (and us, obviously- the paid NASA shills!) telling lies or becoming confused* Anything that claimed by anyone *not* NASA, regardless of education, experience or qualification is automatically assumed to be gospel. Yet they accuse eveyone else of being sheeple or having closed minds, when in reality its people like Tinda-whatshisface that is the most close-minded of all.

It's not like the proponents of the hoax have never been caught lying, now have they??  ::) ::) ::)

When Allen gives a "infoseminar" he recalls the "moon rock"  to cast dispersions on the rest of them.  Without giving enough time for the attendees to think about it critically.  I wished I were in one of them, although I would not pay one cent to attend, to ask him a bunch of questions and watch him squirm or divert to another subject quickly.

He asked for a service I could not provide, then I suggested an alternative solution which was both available and legal. At the trial I got to read his psych eval. Uneducationable, personality disorder, low IQ, untreatable even with intensive therapy, earlier jail time, children he isn't allowed to see because of earlier conviction and so on.

It was indeed just confusion.
When Middendorp was asked about giving a Moon rock to a Dutch dignitary he remembered doing so.
And he did do so, but the recipient wasn't Drees Sr, and the year wasn't 1969.
