[Merged] Did we land on the moon?

I found this little gem. Right to the point.

Horrible video, actually.

He assumes there was lengthy continuous footage to support his case.

Why? Because NASA's report says so.

What a crock....

That video was right on the mark!! :yes: It was easier to fly a man to the moon than to hoax a moon landing in 1969.

Which is where he would need to be in order to reflect light off the rung and into the camera, since the rung by definition is roughly parallel to the ground!

But the failure of your argument goes even deeper, and it's due to the cylindrical nature of the rung. While you may be technically correct to state that not all of the astronaut is 'below' the rung (and I've shown above that it wouldn't even matter if you were right), you are talking about a plane that runs through the rung, parallel to the surface. But in terms of what is reflected into the camera, you need to consider the optical axis of the camera itself! And it's immediately obvious that the optical axis is nowhere near parallel. The reflecting rung is above the optical axis, the brightly lit astronaut is below it. Hence, the whole of the astronaut can be reflected off the cylindrical rung. Simple optical principles again. Draw a raytrace diagramme or do some experimenting if you're unsure.

Would you really believe an experiment I did if you can't understand the simple principles I've outlined?

I understand it's your excuse to not conduct this experiment.

So if you could...have a go at it, please..

Also, do you have any other examples of this happening? There should be many, no?

That won't work because you have proven to us that you are not interested in facts and evidence. Your previous claims have been shot down by people using facts, evidence and the laws of physics.

Here is real evidence.

And, my current flying buddy flew the Apollo 14 astronauts back to Houston after their moon flight. On another note, my flying buddy received a special invitation to Washington D.C. recently and met with President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden this past Monday.

We could fake a moon landing years before 1969 - movies proved this, beyond any doubt.

With a much bigger budget, Apollo would be simple to fake, in comparison to the smaller budget flicks.

A genuine moon landing is much much harder - it's still beyond our reach.

Over 40 years of excuses show it.

You have been watching too many Hollywood movies because scientific means could have detected a hoax.

Well, let's take a look at what has occurred since 1969.

China publishes high-resolution full moon map

BEIJING, Feb. 6 (Xinhua) -- China on Monday published a full coverage map of the moon, as well as several high-resolution images of the celestial body, captured by the country's second moon orbiter, the Chang'e-2.

The scientists also spotted traces of the previous Apollo mission in the images, said Yan Jun, chief application scientist for China's lunar exploration project.

Nice little dots....so, where's the "real evidence" you told me about??

So this must be another thing that's harder to do than a real moon landing? Just like the fake landing is harder?

Now I get it...

So another country has discovered little dots, too?

It must be harder to photograph the landing sites than to do a real moon landing!!

A lot more than dots; Proof-positive of Apollo moon landings.

The "halo" area around Apollo 15 landing site observed by Terrain Camera on SELENE(KAGUYA)

The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) reported on the "halo" generated by the Apollo 15* lunar module engine exhaust plume that was detected in the data from Terrain Camera (TC) image.

This was an image processed by the SELENE mission instrument team from the observation data of the Apollo 15 landing site on the moon (the foot of the Apennine Mountains encircling the Mare Imbrium close to Hadley Rille). This is the world's first report on the detection of the "halo" through observations after the end of the Apollo program.

Through the produced three-dimensional image of the same landscape as that of the picture taken by the Apollo 15 crew, the spatial accuracy of the TC observation was verified. The three dimensional view of the TC clearly shows the layers of lava flows that erupted approximately about 3.2 billion years ago in the upper part of the Hadley Rille.

I see little blobs and specks - nothing more.

To call this evidence is just laughable.

Anything can be interpreted from it - how about aliens?...

It's also very easy to fake dots and blobs.

No go...

Of course you do because you are not knowledgeable enough to know the difference. :lol:

It was determined the landing site was that of Apollo 15, which goes to show that you are not interested in facts and evidence. So once again, you have been proven incorrect with evidence. Are you implying that Russia, China, India, Japan, Australia, and the rest of the world are lying for confirming the reality of the Apollo moon missions?

Remember, you are the minority with no evidence to backup what you say.

On another note:

What is truly laughable lies in the fact that it was the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency that reported the landing site as that of Apollo 15, and look what you posted.

Once again, you have failed to override reality, so the question is; are you going to accuse the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency of lying?

So if you could...have a go at it, please..

I've shown you how you can prove something to yourself. You've made it perfectly clear over the years that you don't agree with anything I have to say on Apollo, so why would you believe me now? You wouldn't. I was hoping you might believe your own eyes by doing your own experimentation. I was wrong. Meh.

Also, do you have any other examples of this happening? There should be many, no?

You asked for another example, you were shown it. Now you want many other examples, even though you refuse to believe the data that's been spoonfed to you? You can keep on pulling, Turbs, but it ain't gonna ring...

Simple scientific principles, and the available data, prove that sunlight can indeed reflect off a bright white spacesuit (fancy that!), and reflect off another surface several feet away. What you choose to believe is entirely your own prerogative, but facts are facts. Groves analysis is flawed because he didn't even address the possibility of the side of Armstrong's suit closest to the light-source being responsible for the highlight in Aldrin's boot, despite all the effort he put in to accurately determining where the light-source was. There is ample evidence to support the fact that spacesuits do reflect enough light to illuminate another surface at a distance of several feet.

Join the dots, follow the evidence, see where it leads you. What you shouldn't do, is push the evidence in the direction you would like it to go. You are coming from the angle of "I must prove at all cost that a spacesuit cannot cause the reflection seen in Aldrin's boot". Hence, you come out with woolly statements such as "It could be a slip-up in the stage lighting", or "it's a glitch", which is a poor excuse.

Yet again, this is absolutely nothing to do with discussing the evidence in a rational, objective way. It's purely to do with not losing the argument, at all costs. In other words, it boils down to ego. Your ego won't allow you to admit that Armstrong's suit could indeed reflect sunlight onto Aldrin's boot. I find that quite strange, since it would sign of strength of character to admit you were wrong. Further, admitting you were wrong does not mean you need to admit that Armstrong was indeed the first man on the moon. You could simply shift your position to say, OK, the highlight in Aldrin's boot could indeed be caused by bright light reflected off Armstrong's suit, but whose to say it isn't the bright superlight that Percy alluded to, rather than the sun? That would be the intellectually honest way out for you, which has been offered up to you on a plate, and which you refused to accept.

As I said, you're not following the evidence.

You're trying to force the evidence where you want it to go, which is something akin to herding cats: amusing for the rest of us to watch for a while, but ultimately an exercise in futility.

And since scientific facts and evidence have successfully debunked your claims, you have shown and proven to us that you are not interested in facts and evidence.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: I would advise against trying to enagage Turbs in a rational debate. They have shown themselves to be intellectually dishonest in this area, dismissing or refusing to acknowledge clear evidence presented to them when asked for, as well as demonstrating a number of logical fallacies (argument from ignorance, argument from silence, shifting the burden of proof, equivocation, kettle logic, etc).

I, for one, don't waste my time on them anymore.

It does get old the same old #$% from TURD`s but ITs like this without people that dont know anything thats factual we would not have so much fun reading there dribble ! Cheer`s Obviousman !

It is silly for those to claim the Apollo moon missions were hoaxed when overwhelming evidence proved otherwise, not to mention there are countries that have confirmed the reality of the Apollo missions and some have photographed the Apollo landing sites.

To sum it up, the moon hoax folks are accustom to pulling things out of thin air and make up stories, and to prove my case, they are unable to provide evidence to back up their false claims. In addition, it was not likely the United States would have spent billions of dollars to hoax Apollo moon missions when such missions could have easily been revealed, and in light of the fact the United States was engaged in the Vietnam war and spending billions on that war and experiencing high inflation. The government would have simply said that we couldn't do it and leave it at that instead of spending billions of dollars on a hoax, but as it is, facts and evidence have proved the reality of the Apollo moon missions.

The Apollo moon hoax folks don't think of little things like that. I can remember the dream of man setting foot on Mars by the end of the 20th century, but NASA didn't hoax missions to Mars by the end of that century.

This isn't about belief, it's about proof. It's your burden to prove. You can't make excuses for that.

You asked for another example, you were shown it. Now you want many other examples, even though you refuse to believe the data that's been spoonfed to you?

You've spoonfed mush, that's about it so far.

I'd like to see just one example that actually holds up without excuses,

Simple scientific principles, and the available data, prove that sunlight can indeed reflect off a bright white spacesuit (fancy that!), and reflect off another surface several feet away. What you choose to believe is entirely your own prerogative, but facts are facts. Groves analysis is flawed because he didn't even address the possibility of the side of Armstrong's suit closest to the light-source being responsible for the highlight in Aldrin's boot, despite all the effort he put in to accurately determining where the light-source was. There is ample evidence to support the fact that spacesuits do reflect enough light to illuminate another surface at a distance of several feet.

So now there's "ample evidence"?

Wow.

Who could make up stories any better than Apollo astronauts?

Michael Collins couldn't recall seeing any stars from the lunar surface, He obviously made up another version of the story. In that version, he lands on the moon.

Such mistakes can happen with a made up story - one can actually forget the basic script!!

"The cheese stands alone,

The cheese stands alone,

Hi-ho, the derry-o,

The cheese stands alone."

I've read this thread from beginning to end since I joined.

Turbonium, let me get this right... everyone else in this forum and almost everyone else in the world is wrong, but you alone are right? For God's sake, even the USSR acknowledged the landings and they had the most to win by discrediting it!

And here we are now, over 1600 replies later with people providing the evidence, page after page, that it did happen and you sit there and still demand more evidence.

You said, "It's your burden to prove." It's like a flat earther demanding proof that the world is round. It isn't going to happen because the flat earther simply can't wrap their head around the concept.

Perhaps it's time to give this one a rest. :)

Yes indeed! The moon hoax folks are not interested in facts and evidence regarding the reality of the Apollo moon missions. They disregard real evidence and substitute a boat of fantasy, which sunk decades ago and that explains why the moon hoax folks are in the same class as those who've claimed the earth is flat; the evidence is there for all to see, but they are too blind to see reality for what it is.

This is reality!

Apollo 11

The Bochum Observatory director (Professor Heinz Kaminski) was able to provide confirmation of events and data independent of both the Russian and U.S. space agencies.

  • A compilation of sightings appeared in "Observations of Apollo 11" in Sky and Telescope magazine, November 1969, pp. 358–359.
  • The Madrid Apollo Station, part of the Deep Space Network, built in Fresnedillas, near Madrid, Spain tracked Apollo 11.
  • Goldstone Tracking Station in California tracked Apollo 11.
  • At Jodrell Bank Observatory in the UK, the telescope was used to observe the mission, as it was used years previously for Sputnik. At the same time, Jodrell Bank scientists were tracking the unmanned Soviet spacecraft Luna 15, which was trying to land on the Moon. In July 2009, Jodrell released some recordings they made.
  • Larry Baysinger, a technician for WHAS radio in Louisville, Kentucky, independently detected and recorded transmissions between Apollo 11 astronauts on the lunar surface and in the command module. Recordings made by Baysinger share certain characteristics with recordings made at Bochum Observatory by Heinz Kaminski (see above), in that both Kaminski's and Baysinger's recordings do not include the capsule communicator in Houston and the associated Quindar tonesheard in NASA audio and seen on NASA Apollo 11 transcripts. Kaminski and Baysinger could only hear the transmissions from the Moon, and not transmissions to the Moon from the earth.
