...Last night I followed a link in another thread here to an HB on YouTube and found it really hard (read "painful") to listen to the guy, whose video was almost pointless. With a little more thought it could have been audio only. Well, at least the part I saw.
Then I made the mistake of clicking on the video of another guy I'd never heard of. He was talking about inconsistencies in the tyres on the rover in various videos, and I think in one case he might have been confusing the mesh lunar tyres with pneumatic ones in simulations on earth, but he certainly couldn't figure that a dark background could make the mesh tyre look solid. (Drat! Where's the raised eyebrows or the facepalm emoticon?)
His video was also so tedious and painful that I thought few viewers would bother closely following the guy. Poor presentation certainly doesn't help and nor does pointing out non-existing "anomalies" in photos or videos to people who know better. Short, sweet and to-the-point is much better.
Got any YT links? I don't recognize the second video other than expattaffy1 put a video together concerning the rover tires. He was clueless along with myopic and delusional. Joan Evans had a nice rebuttal if that is the one.
Here ya go, the latest lunar tyre expert:
"Moon Buggy Debunked | Those Tires Ain't Right" -- 0:10:24
This guy has given himself the grand-sounding moniker of - wait for it - Lift the Veil. He's a little less hard to listen to than expattaffy1 and has much to say, but doesn't say much, if you know what I mean.
At 04:44, after showing us the Apollo 16 Grand Prix, he shows a rover and LM being used in one of those indoor training exercises we've seen many times, wherever they were done at the time, possibly Houston. This is a set-up I've not noticed before, and can't tell whether or not the tyres are pneumatic, but they do have the metal treads that the lunar tyres had, and I can't really imagine them using those for training -- but maybe they did.
He has another video,
Moon Landing Hoax | Rubber Baby Buggy Bumpers -- 0:30:28
In this one, he proves to his own mind that the Lunar Rover is actually a Jeep, or something like that. It hurts too much for me to pay close attention to him. He doesn't want to be corrected, so has disabled comments.
And another,
Moon Landing Hoax | It's the Shadows, Dummy -- 0:18:43
And I'm definitely not keen to watch or listen to anything he says about shadows and photography if his knowledge of those subjects is as poor as his knowledge of other aspects of Apollo. The most fascinating part, to me, is how quickly his cat goes to sleep at 02:05, possibly from sheer boredom. Good luck and best wishes to those who are keen to follow him. Into the fray, lads and ladesses!
