  1. The takeoff shot was done by the rover, which had a camera turret that could be controlled via remote (remote control via radio waves was invented in the 1890s, by the way). You can watch it turning around independently constantly in the later missions. Note that they only get one good follow out of three attempts. Also, it's way, way farther away than 20 feet. You can watch the camera zoom in and out beforehand. Try a couple hundred.

  2. There's not a single scrap of evidence for this. It's an urban legend and the only single person claiming to have actually seen it for themselves is either an actress or doesn't remember the event because she forgets that the Earth has time zones and describes "staying up late" to watch something that happened at NOON in Australia.

  3. Nobody. It was attached to a drop-down panel for storing the equipment that could be opened from inside.

  4. Just as a reminder, remote control predates the moon landings by almost 75 years.

  5. At the end of the day, the fact that you have to lie to justify your position proves that you know that they went. You just pretend not to because you think that rebelling against the truth makes you cool. It doesn't.

  6. Well... yeah, since he DIDN'T say we'd never been. The hoaxers edited the clip to remove all of the rest of it where he talks about going back, blames their lack of return on money, and says they went several more times. But you'll just lie and pretend that he didn't. And by "very much alive", you mean they found a few people with similar names at the rough age group as well as a few siblings and claimed they were the same people despite needing facial and dental surgery to match, despite the statistical rate of having siblings being 80%, and despite being in professions the astronauts should not be able to competently perform. If they were still alive, they would have been treated like Witness Protection. They would have been given new identities, they would not be allowed allowed to have contact with their families because that's how the hoax gets immediately blown, and they would be put in jobs outside of the public eye they can ACTUALLY DO, not teach recorded ivy league level law courses in front of rooms full of strangers in subjects they have zero experience in. Also, I just want to be on record that if I were in charge of this hoax and they went "No, I want to be my own brother", I would have have immediately killed them for real to eliminate the loose ends. If the NASA freemason illuminati cult were as evil as you people claim, they'd have done the same in a heartbeat.

  7. Bless your heart, you think that the "truth" movement actually tells the truth.

  8. You are aware that Bart's a fraud and has been caught red-handed faking evidence right?

  9.  @robertjohnson5838  His "faking the distance to the moon' video is deliberately edited to mute audio and remote details that disproved him. This includes skipping over shots of them filming without his trick.

  10. It went like.... 3-4 feet. On Earth it'd probably go about 6 inches, especially at a mere 8 miles per hour.

  11. It's amazing that hoaxers think people are too stupid to scroll down a day or two to find comments that don't. Lying much?

  12. Who the hell would use metal pans in an oven? You'd never be able to take the food out, you'd burn your hand if you tried.

  13.  @JosephLayden  ...... You mean the one where your side deliberately and blatantly lies about how "there's no room in the ship" and then gets really, really mad when you point out that you can watch them unpack the rover because they don't want you to know that there's equipment storage on the lower half? Your Pacer comment appears to be a blatant lie as well. As far as I can tell, Apollo 11 had no official car. So how many of those other "references" were made up as well?
    4
  14.  @JosephLayden  Wait. Wait wait wait wait wait. Hold on there Pinnochio. Apollo 11 was in 1969. The Pacer's run was 1975-1980. So Apollo 11 had an "official car" that DIDN'T EXIST? I found a plot hole in your story.

  15.  @LennonBaksh  Just answer the question. If a person lives their entire life without having heard of God and Jesus are they still damned for not following a god they didn't know about? Yes. Or. No. The fact that you refuse to give a straight answer and have to hide behind scripture tells everything. If you said "I don't know" then at least that would be honesty There is no forgiveness for a person that didn't even know, is there? It is God's Plan that some people are damned from birth and God's Plan that they not get a chance at salvation. God chose from the day they were conceived to send them to hell. And that is more evil than anything Satan has ever done.

  16. ..... you mean the video that proved that your "truth" movement was a sham? I'm guessing your fellow hoaxers didn't tell you that Bart got caught red-handed editing his "smoking gun" to remove and skip over parts of it that outright disproved him, including shots of them filming without his supposed trick, did they?

  17. Have you done any research beyond repeating what the hoaxers tell you like a good little sheep? Objects FREEZE in the Thermosphere. It's too dilute for convection to occur. It doesn't matter how hot your gas is if there's not enough of it to transfer heat faster than every other point on the surface loses heat via radiation. Also the reason they're working on the belts (in a video to hype a successful test that happened almost ten years ago now) is because MODERN computer chips - the ones you use in everything your spoiled millennial brain can't function without - are WEAKER, not stronger, against radiation due to the side effects of circuit miniaturization.

  18. You know... I had somebody try to claim there were "bubbles coming from the helmet" on the ISS videos. They got very mad at me when I said "your bubble is already visible in front of the helmet on the first frame of your clip. Why didn't you show the whole thing?" because they were lying about where it came from.

  19.  @timparziale8762  So are you truly ignorant of all of the lies your "truth" movement has had to resort to, or you just high on copium?

  20. A cheap tablet is also hundreds of times more sensitive to radiation, one of the inherent downsides to the integrated circuit miniaturization that runs our tech industry.

  21.  @thevoiceofsnakeeyes  If it only took me two seconds to find that same bloody picture from TWENTY YEARS AGO that David Percy got caught red-handed cropping to hide that his shadows changed direction, WHY should I watch it in it's entirety? Especially given that the video has been ridiculed for being so lazy with their so-called "research" that they tried to analyze composited artwork (fully documented as artwork with a known creator) and pretend it was actual Apollo photographs. The bar has already been set so low that it's sitting on the bottom of the Marianas Trench.

  22. I just want to make sure something about that "curtain rod" lander. Are you saying that NASA's brilliant plan is to pay off every single rocket designer on the planet for decades to not say anything rather than paying one single one to make something that looks "realistic"?
    3
  23.  @ProjectFrugal  So why did you pick 1972 and not 66-68, when it was more than double our current budget? Sure you realize that it was paid for in advance. You are aware that half of NASA's budget is currently spent on non-manned mission research and expenditures right?

  24. Bart will never agree to any interview where he could actually be questioned with any amount of effort.

  25. 1519-1522 - Magellan's crew sails around the world with 18 people surviving the entire trip. This is not attempted again until approximately 80 years later. 1911-1912: Roald Amundson and Robert Scott race to the South Pole. Amundson reaches the Pole first, while Scott reaches it second and dies on the return trip. The next team to make it there is Sir Edmund Hillary in 1958. Time between Scott and Hillary: 46 years. 1960 - Jacques Piccard and Lt. Don Walsh descend to the Challenger Deep in the Marianas Trench, the deepest part of the ocean. This is not repeated until 2012 when James Cameron takes an IMAX camera down there. Time between first and second; 52 years.

  26.  @T._Matthew_Phillips  You didn't answer my question. Would you have called any of those feats fake if you'd been around just a few years before they were repeated? Yes or No?

  27. You..... do realize that Bart got caught red-handed editing his footage in that to remove details that disproved him over ten years ago, right? The idiot actually thought nobody would compare his version to NASA's

  28. In order to colonize or mine the moon, you'd need technology far, far beyond simply landing on it for three days. You'd need long-term habitation, heavy industrial machinery, and bulk transport ships that dwarf those so far. And for what? Most of the minerals on the moon can be either mined or artificially created on Earth. Any resource that costs more to obtain than you could buy it for here is worthless. If the moon were an artififical base, it would need a purpose. They're not harvesting resources from Earth. If it were a military base, they're probably not fighting us, so why are they here instead of someplace more relevant? If it were a transportation hub, even amateur astronomers would have seen the ships coming and going If they're observing us, they don't need a giant artificial moon large enough to house trillions of people. They'd have maybe 20 dudes on a small rock with enough of a base for running their operation and that's about it and almost certainly wouldn't be there for thousands of years. I like to imagine we were chased away by some college interns with "ray guns" made from some hair dryers and LEDs. That or the artificial city's most likely extinct and we got chased away by an automated message from their answering machine.

  29. The Van Allen Belts are beta radiation. Beta Radiation CREATES x-rays when it hits lead.

  30. Isn't American Moon the one that got caught trying to pass off openly credited composite artwork as actual Apollo record photographs?

  31. .... but they didn't use a 1969's car. They used a small go-cart that folds up like a Transformers action figure and shoved it in one of the equipment bays.

  32. You're looking at hundreds of billions of dollars in initial investment You need to develop new ships capable of carrying more than three people and more importantly, can be used multiple times because Apollo can only be used ONCE. You're only going to be able to launch a few launches per year because you only have so many ships, and each one is going to need time-consuming inspections and maintenance after every single flight to make sure there is no damage to the heat shields or any other part of the ship that will cause a failure upon reentry or any other part of your mission. Not to mention being able to safely launch in weather. Your operational costs are going to be so high that 99% of the population cannot afford your services. They cannot afford their own weight in fuel. And if you have even a single accident out of 100 launches, you probably lose all of your future business because nobody else will trust you to keep you safe. Good luck getting anybody to insure you. If I wanted to lose money, I'd throw it off a bridge.

  35. Baron was fired years before Apollo 1. He flooded the reporting bin with so many minor nuisances that they couldn't get REAL problems dealt with, then pissed off management when he published it all after they didn't take the measures he thought they should do. Again, after HE HIMSELF caused problems making it hard to identify actual issues vs peeling paint. Have you read Baron's testimony to Congress? It's embarrassing. He couldn't remember any of the details of any of his submissions, nothing he had was even admissible because it was 100% unsubstantiated hearsay (hearsay is NOT court admissible, by the way), and after Congress told him to stop wasting their time, he LIED TO CONGRESS and made up a fake conversation he had with one of the other witnesses (which they denied ever having) where they discussed "details of the accident" that blatantly contradicted physical evidence. The reality is Congress told Baron to f-off and the man that had a history of throwing temper tantrums when people didn't listen to him drove around the barrier in road rage.

  36. The moon's tidal locking means that the Earth sits in one position in the sky and doesn't move. That place is almost straight up from most of the landing spots. You can see the camera on the rover pan waaaay up towards it a few times during Apollo 17

  37. "The Apollo missions were just a poker bluff with the Soviet Union during the Cold War." ..... but the Soviets already knew about the deadly unpassable belts and all of the other details that would make it "impossible" so your chance of actually fooling them is 0%. You can't bluff if the opponent can see your marked cards.

  38.  @blackhawk2302  I'm well aware, I should have put unpassable in sarcastic quotes.

  39. So, have you watched any of the other press conferences? Armstrong has that same "depressed and nervous" behavior in the Gemini 8 conference, 3 years before.

  40.  @LennonBaksh  So.... if objects did go to space and land on the moon.... then that proves that the Bible is wrong, correct?

  41. A 36 year old that thinks you can do things without money? I've never heard a more unbelievable lie in all my life.

  42. You do realize that fusion power DOESN'T WORK and is not expected to be commercially viable for another 30-50 years right? You also do realize that in order to actually harvest that, you'd need need heavy transport ships capable of carrying mass quantities, large numbers of workers, and heavy machinery capable of strip mining vast areas of land whereas Apollo could only land two people without enough supplies to build an outhouse. So you're investing several hundred billion dollars of investment into a fuel source YOU CAN'T CURRENTLY USE and which can be fabricated in a lab. But sure. Pocket calculator computing power is the real factor. Hang on, let me put put my cell phone with ten bajillion times the computing power on vibrate. Oh, it only moved about a foot. Guess all that fifty quintrillion times the computing power is not getting to the moon without a GIANT ROCKET.

  43. Gregory, the boots have the "wrong boot print" because they wore overshoes on top of the feet that were part of the suit.

  44. Um... Gemini and Apollo used different suits. The Apollo helmet was fixed, but Gemini's did in fact swivel. You can see this is photographs and interviews. It's YOUR SIDE that's lying. During the interview, they were asked TWO questions about the stars: whether they could be seen from the moon AND whether they could be seen through the solar corona despite the glare. Armstrong answerred that they could not be seen from the daytime side of the moon without their ship's optics, and he didn't remember what stars were visible while filming the solar corona. Collins responds (to the second question) that he didn't remember seeing any. That's not a contradiction or a different answer. That's a second opinion for "I don't remember".

  45. Really? Becaue I though JFK was assassinated over aliens, and Vietnam, and the federal reserve, and all of those other things that people like to list as the Soup of the Day. With ten different motives and ten different suspects, the fact that your "truth" reads like a book of mad libs should be pretty good evidence that you're completely off track. It's going to be very interesting. When a conspiracy theorist dies and goes to heaven, they're going to ask God who killed JFK. When God says "Oswald", the conspiracy theorists will decry God as part of the hoax.

  46. Shane, dust floats on Earth because the air around it holds it up. In a vacuum, it will settle IMMEDIATELY at the same speed that everything else falls because there's nothing holding it up. Also, mathematically, the Earth as seen from the moon would only be about 2 degrees wide. That's about the size of two dimes at arm's length. That's before the fact that wide angle lenses cause background objects to shrink.

  47. I mean.... you can't even get the name right and you think you've actually done the real research?

  48.  @yakov9542  Head's up, not only does the "faking the distance" trick not actually work (it doesn't account for the clouds and landmasses changing as the ship moves), the creator GOT CAUGHT editing his video to skip over shots of them filming without his trick.

  49. And not a single rocket scientist says anything about all the obvious fake cardboard curtain rods blah blah blah. "But clearly they're all paid off to not lose their jobs" All of them, across the entire world. And NASA didn't pay one of them to design a realistic design so they'd only have to pay one person instead of thousands because.......?
