Quote from: Craig W. Thomson
Didn't they play golf on the Moon in one of the later missions?
No. One of the astronauts merely brought a golf ball and a golf club and hit the ball to see how far it would go, or something like that.

Quote from: Craig W. Thomson
We had some rough patches a decade or two ago, but America is still in the game, running some some highly successful space missions from time to time. Perhaps a quick, easy fix to this would be to send an unmanned probe to the Moon and have it explore previous alleged landing sites, beaming back live footage to Earth of the analysis as it went. You know, making a cast of an astronaut's footprint, scraping some metal filings off a spacecraft remnant, collecting soil samples containing rubber particles, finding a golf ball, checking the lunar laser ranging equipment for fingerprints, that sort of thing. That would go viral for sure, and maybe even lead to renewed interest in space exploration, which might in turn lead to increased budget allotments for space exploration, and a new shuttle.
All that would do is spark new conspiracy theories and waste a ton of money.

Look up the Japanese Selene mission. Exact match for apollo 15 landscape photos. Its on you tube too.

Nothing you said there makes the flag anomaly go away.

I think that the "Clavius" site is a disinfo site.  I think all the posters on its forum know the Apollo moon missions were faked as well as the hoax-believers do.  Can't we discuss that?

I met Roy Grumman when I was 1 1/2 years old. I was already capable of using an electric drill motor. My duties at that time required me to sort number, fraction and letter drill bits in our garage. When I got to the factory Roy came over and introduced himself to me, squatted down so that he was lower than me. Looked up at me and gave me a mans handshake. And said that I had a good grip, and I did. He suggested that my father take me to his hobby area, where he kept his lunar rock collectors. Titanium skinned remote controlled rock collectors. That he used to fly to the moon in four hours and back in another four.

Roy did not use standard radio he used ambient radiation to communicate with his rock collector. Basically what some young people call spooky effects at a distance. My father took me over and put me inside of one of the rock collectors, it was very cool. It had an aluminum skin on the inside, and I believe there was titanium and or aluminum honeycomb between the multiple walls or skins of the craft. That is how they block radiation or positively accelerate it to a harmless emission.

The propulsion was basically a fluid, injected into an ARC creating pressures well above 100,000 psi. This was actually a lethal welding accident that was capitalized upon, into an amazing propulsion system. This same craft in the fifties was videoed and thought to be a UFO by the people that witnessed it. Several times the U.S. turned its big dishes on this craft and caused the skin to ignite the air around it. They could not shoot it down but they could make it very hot.

I was eating supper one night about 15 years ago, there was a UFO show playing the background on a cable history channel, and I heard the rock collector engine, and sure enough there was Roy's Rock collector being filmed as a fiery UFO. It was very cool, staying motionless only a hundred feet off the ground. With the tell tale hissing sound it's engine made. If you work with high pressure evaporating fluids, you know that there is an electrical differential created upon the release of high pressure gases. The small rock collector would use this very high voltage differential to amply charge its batteries so that it could fly until it ran out of liquid propellent. 

My point is that the government threatened to close down Grumman or blow Long Island off the face of the earth if Roy kept playing with his toys. After great debate and concessions, the Apollo missions were agreed to. However the Apollo missions did not utilize our best technology in fact what the astronauts agreed to was something like an Evel Knievel motor cycle jump over the Grand Canyon, when there are of course much better safer ways to get across the Grand Canyon, and to the moon. 

Going to the moon was a child's feat at that time. Today, without any basic engineering, mathematics, or history, it would be a frustrating endeavor for sure, risking people lives, to reinvent the wheel.

I am sure we went to the moon, and the reason the astronauts went was to promote science and end the Cold War nonsense. Many times on national TV the astronauts brought horrendously embarrassing science blunders into the light, and exposed witch doctor science. They kept speaking from the moon to the earth with instantaneous replies, because the radios were not standard radios. They kept reminding the astronauts about the 1 1/2 second turn around time rule from the control center. 

It was actually quite funny if you knew what was happening.


Sincerely,

William McCormick

The moon landing photos were staged. The recent analysis in aulis.com under Apollo/Moon and titled: Scientific Analysis of Apollo images, proves it. How can otherwise the errors mentioned in the article, be explained? Any ideas?

Yes. So what?

No. So what?

Next question, please.

The same publi$her also has websites alleging photo-fakery on JFK assassination & 9/11 attack.
http://jfkstudies.org , http://jackwhites911studies.org , http://aulis.com/

All the photo-analyses are by the late Jack White BA who had a serious case of paranoia, and no science qualifications.

The ongoing Lunar Laser Ranging Experiment measures the distance between Earth and the Moon using laser ranging. Lasers on Earth are aimed at retroreflectors planted on the Moon during the Apollo program (11, 14, and 15) and the two Lunokhod missions.[1] The time for the reflected light to return is measured.

To me, these experiments, which have been done for years, and anew each year, show we were on the moon to place the reflectors. Once there it is not hard to take pictures. All tourists use cameras.

I'm always amazed at these bogus attempts to claim things like that in the title. There's nothing wrong with those photos, only your assumptions and conclusions about them. In fact I see zero reason to come to the same conclusion that the OP did.

There is ample evidence that astronauts landed on the moon. The corner reflectors being there allow us to bounce lasers off the moon to make distance determinations between Earth and Moon. We were in a space race with the Soviet Union at that time and if there was any flaw in things like determination of where the radio signals were coming from by the Apollo astronauts they would have pointed it out to the world to show that NASA and the USA to be liars. Nothing like that ever happened.

Give it a rest will you?
