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"

WillowTheWhisp · 02-02-2007, 22:54

Yep

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

WillowTheWhisp · 02-02-2007, 23:00

Oooh I'm not sure I should tell you - I might get in bother.

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.

Mancie · 02-02-2007, 23:05

No Willow don't tell me.. but please do give a (shortish)

reason why you don't believe man landed on the moon
OK Gayle.. you suspect not? so you don't believe your eyes?

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.

It may well be that there was a moon landing but I'm not altogether convinced that all those photos were taken there. There are a lot of anomalies.

entwisi · 02-02-2007, 23:09

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

What else is there to believe in?

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?

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)

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

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)

WillowTheWhisp · 02-02-2007, 23:33

They didn't have to be all lying, just all conned.
