[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]FACT: It would have been impossible to have a water cooled space suit on the Moon, when outside temperature was already at boiling point of water, there would be no where for the heat to dissipate. [/FONT]
OR the suits could have been INSULATED :dunno
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]FACT: The LM was suspended from a huge traverse crane based at Langley Research Center, Hampton, Virginia, and was gently lowered at the same time it traversed over a mock Moon surface created beneath it. Check picture on REALITY site, and Channel 4 video "As it Happened" . [/FONT]
They did test the LM numerous times on Earth :dunno In fact, Neil Armstrong was almost killed while testing it on earth, he ejected at the last second...
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]FACT: Trainee astronauts were also suspended from this huge traverse crane in a horizontal position to simulate reduced gravity. Check picture on REALITY site with the NASA web site picture of Harrison Schmitt tripping up. The unusual high backward leg swing is identical in both pictures.[/FONT]
Coincidences occasionally do happen. But I didn't look at the site after I saw it was owned by the same guy as the first site. You can't reference yourself for a valid reference :dunno
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]FACT: Film footage allegedly taken by Apollo 8 as it supposedly circled the Moon, is the SAME film used for the Apollo 11 mission, except that film is reversed and run backwards, look for "tadpole like" mountain range. What NASA did was to film the mock lunar surface at LRC, traveling in one direction, then reverse camera, and film surface traveling in opposite direction, as shown in video's. [/FONT]
Apollo 8 was a mission to select the landing site for Apollo 11. So, it would be totally plausible to me that they would go over the same area :dunno
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]FACT: Film footage showing Apollo missions allegedly circling the Moon, was taken by a rail mounted camera which slowly moved toward a rotating plaster paris model of the Moon. [/FONT]
If this is a fact, where's the proof? :dunno
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]FACT: James Lovell was reading from a prewritten script in the simulator when he did the voice over for the above film, and referred to the Moon as being "essentially gray, no color, looks like plaster of paris". It was indeed plaster of paris he was referring to, hence the smirk on face of Michael Collins after this remark.[/FONT]
:24: Again, speculation is not a fact...
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]FACT: Anyone who believes the Moon landings must be "essentially green".[/FONT]
Ok...
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]FACT:Michael J. Tuttle who composed the fake Moon pictures, used mountain background scenes from the astronaut training sessions in Iceland, and other places, to paste on the genuine simulation pictures. He also digitally composed the 360 degree panoramic shots of fake Moon landing sites for use by NASA. His URL speaks for itself. The majority of NASA's fake Moon landing pictures were taken/composed in the mid 90's, AND NOT in the late 60's as many are led to believe. This was because suspicion was aroused at the time regarding the limited number of photo's available. NASA had to do something rapidly because of the onset of the Internet.[/FONT]
Again, no proof...
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]FACT: The Saturn V rocket had shed 97% of its weight upon reaching Earth orbit. The remaining 3% was the space capsule placed in Earth orbit.[/FONT]
Rocket fuel is pretty heavy :dunno What does this prove?
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]FACT: Earth is 250,000 miles from the Moon, yet reflected sunlight from its surface is strong enough to illuminate the darkness on planet Earth. Anyone hovering above surface of Moon would be blinded by the high intensity light reflected back. [/FONT]
Obviously not, since even without the Apollo missions, we've sent plenty of unmanned probes around the moon that weren't blinded....
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]FACT: In the mid 60's, Alan Shepherd was removed from ALL space missions due to vertigo and meniere's disease. No one in such a poor state of health would be assigned to such a dangerous and complex mission. He was not even on the Apollo 14 mission, which in itself was only in Earth orbit.[/FONT]
Alan Shepherd had a risky new procedure to cure his Meniere's. It took him several years of observation by flight surgeons to get himself back on flight status. Little known fact, Shepherd was originally slated to command Apollo 13...
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]FACT: Alleged Moon rock is basalt rock found here on Earth. NASA made it radioactive by "baking it" in a radiation oven. If it is genuine Moon rock, then it was brought back by a scoop and return probe. [/FONT]
Neither can be proved. And the "scoop and return" is still in the design phases for Mars. As PT has already said, if they've done it before why are they spending all this money now to do it???
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]FACT: The monitored radio/data signals were either transmitted from Earth and reflected back by bouncing signal of the Moon, or were transmitted via a leased channel. If a valuable source of monitoring equipment was left on Moon, then it would be used today, and not shut down in the 70's.[/FONT]
I assume by "monitoring equipment" they mean some sort of electronic device. Which probably wouldn't last 30 years on the lunar surface :dunno
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]FACT: In a TV interview with journalist Sheena McDonald back in 1994, the NASA Administrator, Dan Golden, (alias Dan Dare), openly admitted that mankind cannot venture beyond Earth orbit, until they can overcome the dangers of cosmic radiation. He managed to say this without any mention of the Apollo missions 25 years before, which supposedly went 250,000 miles outside Earth orbit.[/FONT]
Again, the moon orbits the earth dumbass! It's in earth orbit!!!
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]FACT: Neil Armstrong has NO momento's or photographs whatsoever from his alleged Moon mission, however he has plenty from his test pilot days. There are no photographs of Armstrong supposedly on the Moon, because Armstrong, knowing the saga was fake, refused NASA permission. [/FONT]
Actually, as he himself has admitted, he was the one with the camera the whole time. Which is why there aren't many pictures of him. Because he was taking them. So he couldn't be in them. Just like on Earth...
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]FACT: In 1969 computer chips had not been invented. The maximum computer memory was 256k, and this was housed in a large air conditioned building. In 2008 a top of the range computer requires at least 64 Mb of memory to run a simulated Moon landing, and that does not include the memory required to take off again once landed. The computer on board Apollo 11 had 32k memory.[/FONT]
So are they saying the onboard computer couldn't have done it? I agree. Which is why they had MISSION CONTROL with hundreds of computers, each dedicated to a different aspect of the flight. It's called *gasp* team work.
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]FACT: When Apollo astronauts were not in space, they were manning mission control communication for other Apollo missions, this was to limit the number of persons in the know. There were in fact two communication links to every Apollo mission. First was launch control who dealt with communication at lift off, and reentry, however once in Earth orbit communication was handed over to the limited few astronauts manning mission control. Check it yourself on film coverage released at the time. Collins, Duke, Aldrin, Lovell, Shepherd, Schmitt, Cernan etc, are all there on various missions. Lovell himself admitted that there were two communication links to the astronauts.[/FONT]
Yes, normally the CAPCOM (capsule communicator) was a fellow astronaut for many reasons. In fact, they still are today. First off, it's always good to hear someone you know when you're 200,000 miles from home. Secondly, astronauts can probably relate better to a fellow astronaut than they can with a rocket scientist.
