The Hoax Theory / Re: Watching the detectives...

"Now, did he take the camera off his chest, point it down at the ground, having altered the focus ring, which required it to be focused to 3 ft, the shortest distance he can focus at, point it at the ground without a viewfinder, and get it all nicely in frame. That's a question that hasn't been answered."

Pretty sure I made a video about this a few years ago. Maybe I'll update it.
Marcus knows he's been given all the answers already, but grifters gotta grift.
Amen to that fact.

Sad news.  I contacted him and bounced ides off him on one of the A16 magazines that one idiot posted was "orange juice" snudged on the film, something that could not be accomplished in a vacuum, so necessarily the missions were faked.  The consensus was it was a small amount of regolith that got smeared on many images as the film was being wound.

Quite sad. A perfect gentleman and a heckuva historian.

Sad news indeed, I had an invite to visit him in Australia in 2020, but due to the fires at the time it proved impossible. Very nice man had quite a few email exchanges with him.

Sad news. Lost count of the number of times his site has been of use.

Ah bless them, they've released a "critique" of Dave McKeegan's excellent video on the Apollo surface photographs, which is here:



They don't start off well by changing the title of Dave's video to strawman his position, misrepresent what his video is actually about, and then ad hominem their way through a huge assumption that Dave has never used film cameras, but that's the least of their mistakes.

Despite Allen appealing to his own authority, something that seems very much out of place, they get so many things wrong. They include footage of Dave Scott taking a panorama, something they claim that they can only be done with viewfinders or there would be gaps and misalignments - blissfully unaware that there are many panoramas that have exactly those things - including the very first one that Neil can be seen taking at the foot of the ladder:

https://www.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/static/history/alsj/a11/a11pan1093226HR.jpg

They don't seem to understand the modifications made to the cameras to allow them to be used. They invent a whole new branch of physics by claiming objects instantly reach their maximum temperature the very second they're exposed to sunlight, they seem entirely unaware of the hours of training carried out in photography - despite Dave covering it very well.

They make great play about Dave not having access to the precise film that Apollo used, so his analyses must be invalid, and also that it's impossible to recreate the kind of vacuum on the moon so how could NASA test them, then without a trace of irony make claims about their own tests that obviously also aren't using the SO film or lunar vacuum.

Just one example of how dumb, ignorant and ill-informed they are can be found when they discuss the famous bootprint photo:

"Now, did he take the camera off his chest, point it down at the ground, having altered the focus ring, which required it to be focused to 3 ft, the shortest distance he can focus at, point it at the ground without a viewfinder, and get it all nicely in frame. That's a question that hasn't been answered."

If only there was footage showing it happening that anyone who had the in-depth knowledge about Apollo that they claim would know about.

Phase52012 has already stepped in with a response, but I haven't seen it uet, but it's pretty much shooting dumb fish in a barrel.

Yes, I've recently commented on their videos to point out the flaws in their 'analysis' of Apollo 11 Mag-H. Of course, their response (seen in their latest two efforts) is . . . lacking, shall I say?  ;D
