Picture 2 could be an electron microscope shot of a sperm fertilising an ovum for all the detail it shows!

Yep, it could be any durn thing, really. It does bear a structural similarity to smartcooky's image though.

I asked him for a link to the source and Im still waiting for it.[/center]

Anything thats asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence. Most hoaxies seem to be incapable of accepting this.

Picture 2 reminds me of an old film showing helium being cooled below critical temperature.

It reminded me of the danish ring-castles from the Viking age - Trelleborg and the others.
Well, it is like this: The truth doesn't need insults. Insults are the refuge of a darkened mind, a mind that refuses to open and see. Foul language can't outcompete knowledge. And knowledge is the result of education. Education is the result of the wish to know more, not less.

That is on a "need to know"-basis - and I don't need to know!

Hah, that's funny, and for some reason (don't ask me why) it reminds me of a quote from a book I once read by English actor David Niven.

He and Errol Flynn were filming "The Charge of the Light Brigade" a 1936 movie directed by Austro-Hungarian director Michael Curtiz; who was not exactly known for his command of the English language.

In one scene, the script called for a number of riderless horses to wander through the set. Curtiz yelled out to the wranglers "Bring on ze empty horses". Niven and Flynn started to laugh, and Curtiz was not happy with their reaction. He responded angrily, yelling at Niven and Flynn...

"You people, you think I know f**k nothing; I tell you, you are wrong...  I know f**k all"

Needless to say, this just made the two actors laugh even more!!
If you're not a scientist but you think you've destroyed the foundation of a vast scientific edifice with 10 minutes of Googling, you might want to consider the possibility that you're wrong.

That was the title of his second autobiography I think (Bring on the empty horses).

The first (The Moon's a Balloon) is equally brilliant.

Roger was a great critic and film historian, but I sometimes think he saved his best writing for when he really didn't like a movie.

Ooh, yes! I picked up the latter at a thrift store, and it was quite an entertaining read. ;D

Gazpar, I'm intrigued...  Can you please tel us the full story of how you met, and how you are now engaging with this HB - you said he sent you these images, so this is a conversation by email?  How did that arise?  And what was his reason for not sourcing the images - is he no longer speaking to you?

It was on facebook. I saw a image of the lunar rover of apollo 17 in some page and I saw him on the comment section saying that all was filmed on earth and blah blah blah. I confronted him and throwed those images, I asked for source and he gave me a link to a youtube video. I asked him again for the source of the photos and he did not respond.

I daresay you  have your answer, then.  The verifiable provenance of the photos is the only thing that would connect them to Apollo and thereby require some kind of explanation.  If he can't prove they came from NASA and were represented by NASA as aerial photos of the Apollo landing site, then all he has is two photos and a story.
