The Apollo Moon Missions Were Faked in a Studio

I saw this thread earlier, and was not going to fuel it further, but this xkcd comic I happened across was too good to ignore:

Maybe you should find those videos in the links I posted, and look at them. There were usually two cameras on the flags. look at the other angle.

I'll take a look for it in a few days when I have time but I don't remember having seen the Apollo 15 flag footage in question from any other angle. Are you sure it's there? If you are, please post it.

The questions and this topic has been discussed before.

Scott. Do you have any new evidence that the moon landing was faked? Why rehash the same old questions / statements?

The proved the hoax before and they prove it now.

They did not prove it and you did not deal with anything. What about the huge vacuum chamber? What about the dust? Please stop using the word sophistry, you have no idea what it means.
 
Has he explained this:

Can you imagine the monumental task of building a vacuum chamber large enough to film this scene in?
Click to expand...
It might have been a paper hammer and a lead feather. Having been filmed in a vacuum is not the only plausible scenario.


If Apollo 11 didn't put a retroflector on the moon, the Russians would have pointed that out!

You're assuming that the press was telling us the truth about what was happening. What happens behind the scenes may be very different from what we're told.

The debris shoots nearly strait out, the dust settles and falls. An atmosphere would have left clouds of dust for several minutes.

Maybe they used washed large-grained sand that wouldn't form a cloud.

It is not worth the time to discuss topics when people use :

Your assuming ...

imo, it indicates the person may belief something but cannot defend what they believe in any rational manner.


One of Scott's response to me regarding the radiation belt was to state how do I know my source is not some govt. person, therefore the sources is suspect in his mind. He also then gave himself an out by stating something along the lines he is not sure or is on the fence regarding the radiation belt.

I asked Scott, if there is anything new to back up the faked claim. It seems he wants to rehash old topics that were shown to be false long ago.

Some people are lost causes.

Sounds like a broken record.

You're not addressing the right flag anomaly. The one I cited can be seen at the 2:35 time mark of this video.
Click to expand...

In the video you can see the flag moving back and forth in a very rigid manner and that seems to increase when someone passes the flag. One thing is that the image is really grimy and the flag was moving slightly back and forth before the astronaut crossed, and it seemed like that only increased. The camera was also re-positioned slightly at different times and the angle of sight really does influence how much motion is apparent on a grimy 2D image. When the astronaut was placing the flag he moved the flag back and forth and this motion would have continued for a while because there is almost no atmosphere to slow the motion. This may be due to the grimy image hiding motion.

Also, the camera was very close to the flag and the astronaut may have brushed the flag with his suit arm. These suits are very bulky and he had his arms sticking out. Arms are about 3 feet long and depending on how far his left arm was sticking out he could have brushed the flag.

Reflectors on the moon are not proof that there were people on the moon as they could have been put there by unmanned robotic craft.
Click to expand...

Robotics was in its infancy back then. The amount of robotics required to get a craft to the Moon, have it safety shoot out the reflector, and have the reflector safely placed in the Moon is something we can do today but not back then.

As you can see from the image below the robots of the 1960s were very simple. It wasn't until computers that we started getting much better robotics.

Here is a computer from the 1960s.

That thing still had spark plugs. It is orders of magnitude weaker than a modern cell phone.

One question Scott.

Why, if the USA faked the Moon Landings, have the USSR/Russia, China and other less then friendly enemies of the United States not proven it was fake?

He'll say that Russia had a huge famine going on and that we supplied them with billions of dollars of wheat, like Stalin cared about his people and that China did not have the technology or that trading rights were an issue.

What I want to know is how we got the moon rocks, how and why scientists from all over the world agree that we went there and that the rocks are from the moon, the reflector that is there, how Mythbusters confirmed that the videos can be 100% true, etc.

I believe the evidence that the Apollo Moon missions were real
but, the idea that the US government could have or might have or would have faked the Moon missions is not ridiculous nor nonsense, etc.
The US needed to win the space race. The US needed to win the Cold War. We could not, would not, allow the USSR to win.
I can see the US government misleading, lying to and faking to achieve their goal.
Yet, I think we have enough evidence to show the Apollo moon missions were real.

And yet we won by not having to fake it...

I've never seen them shown to be false. Please link to where they were shown to be false.

The pro-Apollo posters here have the attitude that they showed the anomalies to be false here.
Air caused the flag to move so it was obviously in a studio.

The viewers can decide for themselves if they really showed them to be false.

Anyone who watches the video will see that the flag was not moving when the astronaut was starting to get near it.

There are plausible scenarios. Our not knowing exactly which one is the right one doesn't make the anomalies go away.

-------------------------------
The Soviets, with their own competing moon program and an intense economic and political and military rivalry with the USA, could be expected to have cried foul if the USA tried to fake a Moon landing. Theorist Ralph Rene responds that shortly after the alleged Moon landings, the USA silently started shipping hundreds of thousands of tons of grain as humanitarian aid to the allegedly starving USSR. He views this as evidence of a cover-up, the grain being the price of silence. (The Soviet Union in fact had its own Moon program).

Proponents of the Apollo hoax suggest that the Soviet Union, and latterly Russia, and the United States were allied in the exploration of space, during the Cold war and after. The United States and the former Soviet Union today routinely engage in cooperative space ventures, as do many other nations that are popularly believed to be enemies. However, this suggestion is challenged by the impression of intense international competition that was under way during the Cold War and is not supported by the accounts of participants on either side of the Iron Curtain. Many argue that the fact that the Soviet Union and other Communist bloc countries, eager to discredit the United States, have not produced any contrary evidence to be the single most significant argument against such a hoax. Soviet involvement might also implausibly multiply the scale of the conspiracy, to include hundreds of thousands of conspirators of uncertain loyalty.
