The fake moon landing

[Hawkeye10]

You don't know when to put away your talons and stop being a crybully. Everyone here has been in Cyberia a very long time. I never saw a site war last for 15 years. Most of us are able to find common ground and forget what we were fighting about.

Sure.....but the WOKE are petty tyrants devoted to their narrative wars, they have no interest in pursuing humanity or advancing civilization....they are all about burning civilization to the ground.

Was the landing actually faked simply because of our competition with Russia?

Wasn't faked

No stars can be seen from the moon yet the earth can.

I'm a photographer. The reason you didn't see stars in the NASA moon photos is due to the fact that film's dynamic range (the ability of the medium to capture brights of the moonscape to darks in space without over or underexposing one or the other) are vastly inferior to the human eye. Modern digital cameras might have been able to do it, though.

The flag is on video as actually fluttering as if in a breeze,

The movement of the flag in the footage is not caused by wind, as there's no atmosphere on the Moon. The flag was designed with a horizontal rod to keep it extended, and it only moves because the astronauts were twisting and adjusting the pole as they planted it. In a vacuum, without air resistance, the flag continued to move after the initial touch, giving the illusion of fluttering.

the shadows do not match up with the position of the sun and actually go in different directions at the same time indicating lighting equipment.

Shadows can appear to go in different directions due to the uneven surface of the Moon and the perspective from which the photos were taken. The Moon's surface is not flat, and hills, rocks, and craters can cause shadows to stretch and distort. Additionally, wide-angle camera lenses can exaggerate this effect, causing barreling, etc., making the shadows appear non-parallel when, in fact, they are.

The pictures of the landing site taken from space satellites even recently claim to show where everything is but they are so blurry that no details can actually be made out

Satellite images taken from orbit naturally have limitations in resolution due to the vast distance and the constraints of current technology. However, multiple high-resolution images from various missions, like NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO), have clearly shown the Apollo landing sites, including the remnants of the landers, rover tracks, and other equipment. While not as sharp as ground-level photos, these images are detailed enough to identify the landing sites conclusively.

When the lander took off its blasters should have left an impression in the dust but the dust was completely undisturbed

The Moon's surface is covered in fine regolith (lunar soil), but the lack of atmosphere means there’s no air to blow the dust around in the way we see on Earth. The lander's engines were throttled down during takeoff, reducing their impact on the surface. Additionally, the dust that was displaced settled quickly due to the lack of air to keep it suspended. The regolith directly beneath the lander had already been compacted by its weight during landing, leaving minimal visible disturbance.

Since Neil Armstrong was the first man on the moon who was filming him walking down the stairs from about 20 feet away? We hadn’t been there yet

A camera was mounted on the Lunar Module itself to capture Neil Armstrong’s descent down the ladder. This camera was positioned to provide a clear view of him as he became the first human to set foot on the Moon. The setup and deployment of the camera were part of the mission plan, ensuring the historic moment was captured from the proper angle.

The Van Allen radiation belt that surrounds the earth produces so much radiation that passing through it will kill anything without the most sophisticated equipment which the astronauts did not have.

The Van Allen radiation belts are areas of trapped radiation around Earth, but they are not instantly deadly. The Apollo missions were carefully planned to minimize exposure, using a trajectory that passed through the thinner parts of the belts. The spacecraft's shielding, combined with the relatively short time spent passing through the belts, ensured that the astronauts received only a minimal dose of radiation—well within safe limits.

With the technology back then they would have been dead before they reached the moon

While the technology of the 1960s may seem primitive by today's standards, it was more than adequate for the task. The Saturn V rocket, the Lunar Module, and the spacecraft systems were all extensively tested and designed specifically for the challenges of lunar travel. The success of multiple Apollo missions demonstrates that the technology was indeed sufficient, and each mission was supported by meticulous engineering, rigorous testing, and extensive simulations.

But, the one fact that all the CT moon folks seems to miss, is that during the Apollo missions, ham radio enthusiasts and professional radio astronomers around the world were able to independently track the spacecraft and listen to communications between the astronauts and NASA’s Mission Control. The spacecraft transmitted signals as it traveled to and from the Moon, and these signals were detectable by powerful amateur radio equipment on Earth. This totally debunks the conspiracy theory, on top of everything thus far mentioned, above.

No stars can be seen from the moon yet the earth can.

Stars can be seen from the Moon, and are far brighter and clearer, since there is no significant atmosphere in the way.

No, it isn't. It 'fluttered' after an astronaut planted it. It's currently lying on the ground, knocked over by the LEM taking off. Oops.

the shadows do not match up with the position of the sun and actually go in different directions at the same time indicating lighting equipment.

Yes they do.

Anyone with a decent telescope can look at the landing site.

When the lander took off its blasters should have left an impression in the dust but the dust was completely undisturbed

Nope. The LEM took off from a base platform, which is still there.

Since Neil Armstrong was the first man on the moon who was filming him walking down the stairs from about 20 feet away? We hadn’t been there yet

The camera was mounted on the leg of the LEM.

The Van Allen radiation belt that surrounds the earth produces so much radiation that passing through it will kill anything without the most sophisticated equipment which the astronauts did not have.

Not lethal radiation.

With the technology back then they would have been dead before they reached the moon

People live longer than 2 weeks.

Agreed. COgoat is a paranoid schizophrenic and, besides Sybil, it appears they have a new friend.

What fascinates me about these nutjobs is that they hate half of America, don’t trust our government, yet believe that our nation is powerful and smart enough to fool the entire planet for over half a century.

You are friends of Goat?

And Big Foot was just seen in Vegas drinking a Piña colada, and his hair was perfect

Was he with Elvis? Just curious...

 

[Dutch Uncle]

You are friends of Goat?

I know him like I know you, son. Controlled Opposition/goat, like you, is a paranoid schizophrenic. If both of you are to be believed, then, like you, he was a college-educated professional until something tragic happened to him in his 30s. I suspect late-onset schizophrenia with paranoia and delusional disorder.

He may also have some major mobility limitations.

DON'T TRY TO BLAME YOUR OWN PROBLEMS ON ME, GOAT, OR ANYBODY ELSE, SYBIL!

and it looks just like kubricks 2001, and he said he helped them.

All of your Conspiracy theories have been debunked many times over.

no they haven't.
