Moon landings
 

posted this in Gen chat but not sure (joke of the day?)

This is something that keeps popping up,
Some people do not believe the 1969 moon landing by mankind took place..these people back up the argument questioning the photograpic evidence..does anyone on accy web agree with the "non believers"

Re: Moon landings
 

Yep :D ..............

Re: Moon landings
 

?? how did you get away with that answer Willow? always tells me I have to type more words to reply..:D

Re: Moon landings
 

Re: Moon landings
 

I'm a bit suspicious of the moon landings in 69. I think we've probably been capable of going since but I'm not sure we were back then.

Re: Moon landings
 

No Willow don't tell me.. but please do give a (shortish) :D reason why you don't believe man landed on the moon
OK Gayle.. you suspect not? so you don't believe your eyes?

Re: Moon landings
 

Saw all the original landings with gaping gob like any normal kid,then the conspiracy theories started & i had my doubts.The film Capricorn One sealed it for me.You know the yanks(no offence to fellow members),but to come second isn't good enough.

Re: Moon landings
 

I believe that we got there, and did those transmissions.


What else is there to believe in?

Re: Moon landings
 

I don't think they landed on the moon. For one, the flag was fluttering when there is no atmosphere on the moon. Secondly, the shadows on the photographs supposedly taken on the moon could only have been created with multiple light sources and, in particular, powerful spotlights. But the only light source on the Moon was the sun.

One glaring idiocy needs to be mentioned.
One NASA picture from Apollo 11 is looking up at Neil Armstrong about to take his giant step for mankind. The photographer must have been lying on the planet surface. If Armstrong was the first man on the Moon, then who took the shot?

Re: Moon landings
 

Of course.. it is a FACT man landed on the moon in 69..anyone contradicting this fact is living in cloud cuckoo land..( post some photos to prove you've been there)

Re: Moon landings
 

Well that made about as much sense as Hitler on acid.

Re: Moon landings
 

Taken from a conspiracy theory site - this is why I'm suspicious. I'm not saying for certain either way because I've never been there but it does seem a bit dodgy.

9 SPACE ODDITIES:

1. Apollo 14 astronaut Allen Shepard played golf on the Moon. In front of a worldwide TV audience, Mission Control teased him about slicing the ball to the right. Yet a slice is caused by uneven air flow over the ball. The Moon has no atmosphere and no air.

2. A camera panned upwards to catch Apollo 16's Lunar Landerlifting off the Moon. Who did the filming?

3. One NASA picture from Apollo 11 is looking up at Neil Armstrong about to take his giant step for mankind. The photographer must have been lying on the planet surface. If Armstrong was the first man on the Moon, then who took the shot?

4. The pressure inside a space suit was greater than inside a football. The astronauts should have been puffed out like the Michelin Man, but were seen freely bending their joints.

5. The Moon landings took place during the Cold War. Why didn't America make a signal on the moon that could be seen from earth? The Google Page Ranking would have been phenomenal and it could have been easily done with magnesium flares.

6. Text from pictures in the article said that only two men walked on the Moon during the Apollo 12 mission. Yet the astronaut reflected in the visor has no camera. Who took the shot?

7. The flags shadow goes behind the rock so doesn't match the dark line in the foreground, which looks like a line cord. So the shadow to the lower right of the spaceman must be the flag. Where is his shadow? And why is the flag fluttering if there is no air or wind on the moon?

8. How can the flag be brightly lit when its side is to the light? And where, in all of these shots, are the stars?

9. The Lander weighed 17 tons yet the astronauts feet seem to have made a bigger dent in the dust. The powerful booster rocket at the base of the Lunar Lander was fired to slow descent to the moons service. Yet it has left no traces of blasting on the dust underneath. It should have created a small crater, yet the booster looks like it's never been fired.

Ok Shaker.. 100's of scientists,1000's of assistants even down to the tiolet cleaners are all lying?.. it is cloud cuckoo land..(and "Hitler on acid" are a great band)

Re: Moon landings
 

Gayle says it all for me except for one thing......If they landed,why did'nt they bring any cheese back?

Re: Moon landings
 

Plus, why haven't we been back since, why aren't there colonies on the moon already?

Re: Moon landings
 

think some of you should be on the moon.:D

Re: Moon landings
 

I know this forum is full of nutters... but I'm amazed at the amount of people that really do not believe what thier eyes tell them..lets take it on.. do you believe the man went to the south pole? or climbed everest in 1953?

Re: Moon landings
 

Mancie you sure got the hang of this lot.:rofl38:

Re: Moon landings
 

I saw some cheese from the Moon, displayed in a marquee at a Labour party fundraiser at my great Uncle's farm in 1970, so it must be true.:)

Re: Moon landings
 

South pole & Everest,yes it's on Earth.....and just maybe on some of the later space explorations they may have landed on the moon.But in 1969 the yanks could'nt even lick some commie guerillas in the far east,never mind beating the ruskies to the moon,who then were on a par if not superior to the USA,in terms of military might.Sorry my rain of thought got interrupted.I'll try to get back to this:o

Re: Moon landings
 

so if our own eyes seen it - it must be true...it was on telly so it must then be the case that it is true..like the teletubbies..I saw them on telly they MUST be real also...and I have also watched a programme about a giant dinasaur that smashed up parts of the usa - that must be tue too...and what about that talking horse called mr ed..I have seen that on tv so that must be real like the others...:rolleyes:

as far as I am concerned it was all done in a film studio and the reason behind it was to get one over the russians by way of saying ' we got there first'..

and as for the south pole or everest..those are things that were conquered by man/woman before the yanks walked into there film studio to film their moon walk....plus the fact they are on THIS EARTH which makes them slightly easier to get to and certainley more believable when they do...

if - and its a big IF - they did get to the moon way back then why havent they gone back....? when technology has advanced soooo much since the 60's ?, computers are more advanced, crafts that are launched into space are more advanced..you get my drift...

Re: Moon landings
 

So you are saying it was all a fake? it was all faked by thousands of people?.. you are the ones in denial.. you need to supply evidence..evidence you don't have.. to say a flag didn't sway the way it should do or shadows don't shine they way they should is not enough..you prove it (just a word of advice.. the drugs don't work..it just makes things worse)

Re: Moon landings
 

Yes,but can you prove that they landed?Were you the one who took the photo of Neil Armstrong when he did his bit for mankind:confused: It works both ways.Another of lifes great conspiracy theories.Everybody involved in the original moon landings is now dead,bar the astronauts.I don't think thats true,but it would give you something to think about if they were

Re: Moon landings
 

The men that landed on the moon are alive! and the people that deny this great feat for mankind are ..well....luddites .you have no faith in mankind..but for you lot we would still be sitting in caves..or at the very best sitting on a spinning jenny weaving cloth for the rich!

Re: Moon landings
 

I just watch a fairly compelling show on the history channel (I think). It discussed all the conspiracy theories. They then had different scientists from around the world answering everyone. Many of the questions thrown about here.

I think, for me, what nails it is that the Russian never once disputed any of it (according to this show). They could have easily throw a bit of propagnada about it but I don't believe they ever did.

Why haven't we gone back . . . maybe cause folks finally figured out that spending billions of dollars to watch some guy frolicing about on the moon made no bloody sense at all (IMHO).

Do I think the U.S. Government would lie about such things/ Yup, I think they'd lie about all kinds of stuff but that's another question.

PS _ Pink Floyd, good one cousin Knight!:D

Re: Moon landings
 

Rubbish,my extended family & i invented everything as you know it,so think yourself lucky you even got to watch grainy black & white footage of some actor pretending to set foot on the moon to keep fantasists like yourself content.I will bomb the moon,& you will know about it.But don't tell the cops.;)

Re: Moon landings
 

Maxwell.. be careful with the Jack Daniels son.. its affectng you

Re: Moon landings
 

Geez Maxwell, was that aimed a my response. I didn't think I was spewing total rubbish!

Re: Moon landings
 

Re: Moon landings
 

you are saying we need to prove it was fake....other side of the coin is that YOU need to prove it wasnt...can you ?..can we...??
and as for the drugs not working I think they do and make some people believe the hype...:rolleyes:

Re: Moon landings
 

moon landing was fake but was beleived for so long it has just become accepted that it happened

the amount of lead needed to protect the film in teh camera alone from teh radiation in the atmosphere would have made the space craft too heavy to make it into space

seen a lot of programs abou this and there is more evidence supporting it to be fake than it to be real

also mentioned in the show was that some top level peopel on the project had very suspicious deaths over the year after , i would probably have to do a lot of digging around to find teh names etc but it was mentioned on a documentary about this subject

mind you if they can get that fat arse elvis up on the moon for teh sport to photograh then anything is possible

Re: Moon landings
 

1. Probably a sarcastic joke

2. External camera remotely controlled?

3. As number 2

4. Air control and other gizmo stuff being controlled in the spacesuit and the design of it itself

5. It would have to be a big light

6. Head mounted camera?

7. Shadows, etc effected by sun reflecting of other objects and man made light. The flag doesn't flutter, the shadows make it look like it's fluttering. There is slight gravity on the moon also pulling down....

8. Man made light and reflections

9. Camera angle? Weight distributed evenly over the service?

There we go, they did land on the moon ;-)

I'm not that fussed and not taking any sides on any opinions, but you need some good hard evidence to say they did or did not land on the moon.

Re: Moon landings
 

Yes Willow there is,I used to work for the Sunday Sport and it was rumoured Hitler was on board plotting his comeback.

Re: Moon landings
 

That's a pack of lies I'm on here doing it! That's just about as true as the moon landings, one thing to land, another to get off again.

Re: Moon landings
 

nope , in interviews the astronout said his buddy took the picture , i forget who took whos picture but it wasnt a remote camera and besides if they had a remote camera wouldntthey have had their picture taken together?

Re: Moon landings
 

I'm a non believer, been into this before and I found THIS a good site

Re: Moon landings
 

I saw Buzz on TV last night he spoke of how he'd once punched someone who questioned the truth of the Moon landing.

I would think that if I had risked my life numerous times,flying into the unknown and then people ridiculed the fact.I too would take offence.

Who knows,the answer to the photographic evidence could be that the photos were indeed reshot on earth.

Time will probably tell with the release of info over the coming years.

Considering that the technology we are allowed to see ,is usually years behind what actually exist there could be people up there now.

Watch the skies!

Re: Moon landings
 

I agree with Neal. We saw, we went, we landed. Get over it!

Re: Moon landings
 

I believe they landed on the moon, why lie?
