The Reality of Apollo / Re: Apollo sites photographed by lunar probes - my new page

« Last post by onebigmonkey on December 26, 2025, 09:17:28 AM »

Oooo, new updated page/s? I'll have to have a poke around.

I was planning on using something like this as evidence for a debate, against our favourite 'not-a-doctor', but he never responded, so I didn't go ahead an make anything. Maybe I'll just make up a nice presentation anyway, that I might use later. One part of it was to find a current image of the LO photo I have.

You can find the rescanned versions here

https://planetarydata.jpl.nasa.gov/img/data/lo/LO_1001/DATA/

but you'll need Photoshop (or similar) to load the file format.

Lower res versions can be downloaded here

The Hoax Theory / Re: AI making debunking harder...

On the subject of AI pictures, I'm having a chuckle at Mr White's 'raging' against click-bait Facebook pages that use AI pictures, but say it's a photo from Apollo, or Chandrayaan etc

You'd think he'd be a bit more sympathetic after his own attempts at selling AI 'art'.

The Reality of Apollo / Apollo sites photographed by lunar probes - my new page

« Last post by onebigmonkey on December 24, 2025, 11:30:33 AM »

Some of you will have seen a page on my site where I've matched details in Apollo photography and other imagery with views taken by orbital probes. As new probes launched and new evidence became available, those pages got more and more cluttered and difficult to edit.

I've now added this page:

https://onebigmonkey.com/apollo/probed/probed.html

Which is no frills presentation of the images available.

Hope it proves useful!

As I've said before, WHY would NASA proudly show the "props" that they used to fake the landings with?

Someone recently claimed, in that sneering 'of course it's fake, moron' way so many have, that the Apollo 15 lunar ascent TV was AI. Yes, people are now claiming that TV from the 70s was AI. We're doomed....

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

This is the sort of argument/question I see a fair bit from hoax believers when they're "just asking questions". It's as though if some task is objectively difficult to do while wearing a spacesuit, they can't conceive of engineers designing and testing the relevant equipment to make it easier for the astronauts to do that task while wearing a spacesuit.

Yes, they seem to be utterly unable to grasp the concept of integrated design programmes as part of the overall project. It's like they think they just went out a found a spacesuit to use rather than the reality of the spacesuit being designed specifically with the kind of tasks they would have to do on the Moon in mind, and the things they would have to use on the Moon taking into account the spacesuit in their design or modifications.

The simplest version of that argument is the old chestnut about spacesuits ballooning in a vacuum. The idea that this would render the suit completely useless for any kind of activity and would therefore be designed out by the simple expedient of adding a restraint layer (which they all have experience of in their life since many pneumatic and hydraulic systems, and even simple garden hoses, use restraint layers) just doesn't seem to occur.

So here we have another variation on a decades old theme.

Dave McKeegans two cents;

Our favorite (Great  ) Monkey gets a mention too.

You're getting popular, first MCToon, now McKeegan's shouting your work out for people.

Not being on FB or ChatGP, I work with my hand behind me.  But how does not being able to take gloves off prove that Apollo didn't happen?

The idea is that the astronauts had to be able to put on and remove their EVA gloves, but apparently, according to 'Rasa', you need a "bare hand" in order to utilise the locking ring.

His "proof"? A ChatGPT conversation. No docs, no examples, no videos of people trying to use the locking rings while wearing EVA gloves to show it couldn't happen, nope. Just a conversation with an AI that can be convinced the Earth is flat without too much difficulty. Colour me shocked, but I don't find that in the slight bit convincing.

This is the sort of argument/question I see a fair bit from hoax believers when they're "just asking questions". It's as though if some task is objectively difficult to do while wearing a spacesuit, they can't conceive of engineers designing and testing the relevant equipment to make it easier for the astronauts to do that task while wearing a spacesuit.

Hard for astronauts to adjust the settings on the camera? Put a large button and paddles onto the camera for their fat fingers.

Hard to aim the cameras without a viewfinder? Get the astronauts to practice using the camera.
