  1. Kaysing started making up bogus claims about "Oh yeah, they totally tried a dozen times!" in a desperate attempt to be believed because people started asking that question while he was still alive.

  2. Head's up, the first and second descents to the Marianas Trench, the deepest part of the ocean, were also 50 years apart. The second successful mission to the South Pole that actually survived was done by Sir Edmund Hillary, the man that conquered Mt Everest, 40 years after the first.

  3. The Orion video is a hype video. They're probably exaggerating the problems a bit to make what they're doing seem more monumental than it actually is. That's how marketing works. By the way, the problem Orion is having with the Belts isn't radiation poisoning. It's keeping the MODERN computers from being damaged; all of those tiny computer chips are more sensitive to radiation, not less, and this problem gets worse the smaller you make them. Apollo 13 makes no sense to fake. The Idea that they were doing it to "reignite interest and steal more money" makes no sense when you realize that the money for the missions was paid in advance, not out of that year's budget, and to pull it off while maintaining the "even mission control didn't know it was faked" nonsense would be like herding cats and you'd basically need precognition because you have no clue what or when the grounds teams will come up with, whether it will match your premade fake data, or whether it creates a scenerio that's survivable. Unlike the hoax frauds at Aulis, NASA does not claim to have psychic powers. Head's up by the way, we know for fact that there's no film crew. The camera swings 360 degrees while they move it away from the ship. Nobody's there.

  5.  @Mordecai88393  .... despite the fact that landline to satellite to landline was one of the first advancements of the Space Race and that LBJ, his predecessor, took the first Telstar call from the Vice President's Office? Hey Genius, you realize that civilian radio stations have had the ability to take a phone call and broadcast it over radio waves since the 1930s, right?

  6. The hoaxers are lying to you. Adrin continues talking about needing to know why you stopped so that you can continue next time, blames it on needing more money to do new stuff instead of just repeat the old, and says they went several more times.

  7. You know, I've heard a lot of people whine about the computer power. Not once, not one single time, have I seen a single one of you put on your big boy pants and make an estimate about what would actually be needed.

  8. I mean.... the two technologies have nothing to do with one another so what's your point?

  9. It was attached to the ship on a drop-down equipment storage panel that was opened from inside the ship.

  10.  @nickrose8733  Add "Why does he not mention that David Percy, owner of Aulis, got cropping that very "non-parallel shadows" picture twenty years ago to hide that the picture shows the shadows bending on terrain, with the tips of the rocks in the lower right corner matching the LEM in the background."

  11. Head's up, the creator of A Funny Thing has been caught red-handed lying about evidence many times. His "faking the distance' video is edited to skip over shots of them filming normally without his so-called trick.
    2
  12.  @T._Matthew_Phillips  I won't need to. You'll be on here complaining about "This is fake because they farted half a pitch too high".
    2
  13. Most likely they're from the same clip in the same mission and whoever made the video misidentified what they used.
    2
  14.  @duluxdog71  There's a known documentary where this happens. I believe it's one of the Apollo 16 ones. Nothing so Hidden I think if I remember the name? The clip of the "same rock on different days in different places" is actually the same location about seven minutes apart. They played the wrong clip. It's just sloppy editing
    2
  15. The "faking the distance' video was shown to be baloney ten years ago. Not only does the trick not actually work (if they were in orbit, we'd see the clouds outside moving), the creator got caught lying about the details of what was happening, including editing out parts of the footage he used where you could see them filming WITHOUT his trick. The "close earth" is just a window with a blue glare and a voice TELLING you that it's the Earth nearby. ----- The issue with the Van Allen Belts isn't the radiation poisoning. It's the fact that all of your modern computer equipment is many, many times weaker than Apollo-era parts because integrated circuits become weaker to radiation the smaller you make them. The ships this is designed for is also supposed to be in space much, much longer. Your fellow hoaxers throw temper tantrums when this is brought up. ----- WHY would we have moon bases? The ability to colonize the moon would require far, far, far greater technology than simply landing for three days, cost more to build than they're worth, and we don't have bases on the bottom of the ocean either and we were there first. ---- And yet not one of you ever even attempts to analyze the body language of the hoaxers, no matter how many lies they tell. I mean... the Australian Coke Bottle lady straight-up forgets that her story needs to actually take place in Australia. You'd think she should be telegraphing like she's directing traffic. ---- Fun fact, by the way, Armstrong's parrot comment is a misquote of a line by Wilbur Wright, one of the inventors of the airplane, who was asked to speak at a party and gave a one-liner that translates to "Screw you. I hate giving speeches". ----------- There is no ambient temperature in a vacuum. It takes considerable time to heat up and cool down, not "I walked behind a rock and now it's freezing." Also, they were never there at night and 250F is nowhere close to what a proximity suit for firefighting and working in a kiln is designed for. Try 2-3000F. Just so you're aware, radiant heat sources are the EASIEST form of heat to deal with because you can reflect it. By the way, it's about the same temperature range in orbit. ---------- The "bubbles" that aren't round and which don't behave like bubbles? Probably ice shards.

  16.  @truthquest1194  Okay. Bart lied about the footage being never before seen footage that was intended for editing and playback later. The footage he used was from the live scheduled broadcast, meaning EVERYBODY saw it. Bart tried to pretend that they were lying about being against the window while really filming across the cabin. He edited out the part where both NASA and the astronauts outright state they are moving away from the window and you can watch them do so. The only person on this planet claiming that they were supposed to have been against the window when the lights came on is Bart himself. Bart lied about the astronauts not knowing they were filming, despite the fact that they are talking about the picture quality the entire bloody time. And the footage of the astronauts filming without his so-called trick is not only BEFORE his "faking the distance" video by several hours (meaning they must have left and come back), but is within SECONDS of clips Bart himself used. there's no possible way he didn't know about it unless he didn't even watch the footage he used. If you want to see it side-by-side with Bart's video, you can search Addendum: A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Moon on GreaterSapien's channel. Oh, and by the way, Bart knows he's lying. He was confronted abiout this a long time ago. He shut off comments on his Youtube channel so people couldn't call him out and continued peddling his lies. After all, the truth won't make him rich. The blue glare is just the window being tinted because there's a bright blue object that direction, possibly additionally tinted by the UV and infrared coating on the window. If you continue watching, ALL of the windows have glare, even the ones facing away. Again, the trick DOES NOT WORK. It requires willingly ignoring the fact that they're supposed to be in MOVING VEHICLE. No mattter how much you try and crop it, you cannot hide the fact that the ship needs to be moving at more than 17,000 miles per hour to stay in orbit, many times faster than the Earth's rotation. If the astronauts were actaully in orbit, we would see entire oceans or continents pass by. And no, they cannot be in geosynchronous orbit. The altitude where the orbital speed matches the Earth's rotation is INSIDE the Van Allen Belts, which are supposed to be the entire reason for the hoax in the first place. You want to see what that trick would look like? Go take a look out the side window of your car. I'll respond more later. I have a migraine right now.

  17. And yet they did nothing about Aldrin "confessing" live not once, but twice. Hmmm....

  18. 8 miles per hour is "recklessly"? That's half the speed of a school zone.

  19.  @demounit2505  At a speed that bumper cars would laugh at
    2
  20. Not only does the trick not actually work, as it cannot hide the movement of the ship as it.. you know... orbits, the creator got caught editing out sections of the footage of them filming normally without his so-called trick over ten years ago.

  21. Val, the C is a hair of some sort on the print that got copied during duplication. That's why it only appears in certain versions of that photograph, doesn't appear in any versions of other photographs with the same rock, and why it has a shadow when you zoom in on it.
    2
  22. The interview? it's a fake. It has references to events after Kubrick's death.
    2
  23. Speed around recklessly? The rover has top speed of only about 8 miles per hour. As a reminder, the speed limit in a school zone is 15.

  24.  @gervasebarnes  .... why would they have to re-pressurize to change films? The film is in preloaded magazines. They don't have to open the camera up. It snaps into the camera like a video game cartridge. I'm pretty sure I mentioned this 30 posts ago. You chose not to listen didn't you? Also, for the love of fucking god, stop with the "no stars". Stars are extremely dim to cameras require longer exposure times than brightly lit objects do to appear on film. If they were visible, everything in the foreground would be overexposed into a blinding blur. They don't appear in properly exposed pictures of the New York City skyline. They don't appear in properly exposed pictures of the moon taken from Earth. They are most certainly not going to appear in brightly lit photographs taken in broad daylight.

  25.  @gervasebarnes  You are not winning here. You need to bring new material. These are the same claims that have been retread a thousand times. You've worn a hole in the floor to shame the Marianas Trench.

  26. That's not the rock given to the queen. It's a rock that was donated from the private collection of an ex-Prime Minister who receieved it a year before the moon rocks were actually handed out and which his family didn't have appraised. "Hey, this rock has nothing to do with NASA" Conspiracy Sheep: "Who cares, blame them anyways"
    2
  27.  @jeremybaity7002  56 million a day would take 6.3 years to reach the 130 billion dollars (adjusted for inflation) that Apollo cost, and NASA only spends about 50% of its budget on manned spaceflight.

  28. Bart was "assaulted" because he repeatedly harassed the astronauts, called them hundreds of miles out of their way by lying about who he was, tried to physically prevent them from leaving until the hotel staff kicked him, and then chased him through the street insulting him and poking him with the Bible. He also followed Buzz back onto the doorstep of the hotel and cornered him in the doorway. Returning to a business that kicked you out is trespassing and grounds for the hotel and/or Buzz to call the police.

  29.  @busterhikney6936  ...... very convenient to leave a large heavy weight behind after it's no longer needed and which they have zero use for on Earth?
    2
  30.  @busterhikney6936  I mean.... 60-100 pounds on the moon's still pretty heavy when your ship needs to be as light as possible to get off the rock. Maybe they could make it a bit lighter if they ditch those manual windows that don't exist?

  31. You mean the movies that use CGI that would melt 1960s computers into slag trying to render even a single second of it? You want to see what early CGI looked like? Go watch Tron and remember that the fact that they weren't even nominated for the Oscar for special effects because "Computer graphics aren't real special effects" was considered one of the biggest snubs in Academy history (though to be fair, it would have been against ET and Bladerunner).

  32. Just making sure, you do realize that there are different types of radiation, right? The Van Allen Belts are primarily alpha and beta radiation. Alpha can be blocked with paper and can barely get through your skin. It is of little concern unless you eat it. Beta is industrially shielded with low-density materials such as aluminum and plastic because it CREATES secondary x-rays when it hits heavy metals.

  33. You.... are aware that the maker of that video got caught red-handed faking evidence right?
    2
  34. Okay: the Bible is wrong.

  35. Fact: the return to the South Pole and the return to the Marianas Trench were almost as long Fact. The "petrified wood" was not a moon rock given to the global leaders. It was a completely unrelated rock given by unrelated people that was ASSUMED to be a moon rock based on when it was received - despite not resembling the other samples in the slightest and being received a year before anybody else got one - and then donated without being appraised.

  36. Kaysing basically came out at one point and outright stated that he started the moon landing hoax movement not because he genuinely believed it, but because he and his drinking buddies wanted to create the biggest scandal they could come up with to get back at the government for Vietnam. He also couldn't keep his story straight and tried to claim at one point that it was "satire" until "his publisher got threatened" - so by his own admission, he published it as a lie.

  37. Dust doesn't float in a vacuum. Without air resistance holding it up, it will IMMEDIATELY fall back to the ground and objects in a vacuum fall at the same speed regardless of mass.

  38. The walls, floors, and ceiling of your house are blocking your cell signal. There are no walls between the Earth and the moon.

  39. Just making sure, you do realize that Bart Sibrel got caught red-handed faking evidence over ten years ago because he was so brain dead stupid that nobody would check, right?
    2
  40.  @Globeisahoaxx  Then tell your leaders to stop being frauds. You won't though. You'd sooner Judas out Jesus than criticize them.
    2
  41.  @Globeisahoaxx  By the way, you do realize that Bart Sibrel's "proof", if true, DISPROVES FLAT EARTH right? Why the fuck are you pushing a person who's claim is that the astronauts are in fact in ORBIT, that place you claim is faked?

  42. The issue with the Van Allen belts has nothing to do with their ability in the 60s. It's a NEW problem exacerbated by the progress of technology Modern computers do not use the same types of hardware than Apollo-era computers used. They use superconductive integrated circuits that are many, many times WEAKER, not stronger, against radiation because all of those itty bitty tiny parts are much easier to damage and corrupt. Radiation protection for components is a difficult and expensive process that needs constant updating because each generation of components is more sensitive than the last and progresses faster than the technology to protect it does. Thought exercise for you. Radiation hardening works by creating duplicate circuits so that if one is damaged, the other still functions. What happens once your chips become so small and compact that there's no room to put the redundant parts?

  43. Profitable tourism? Are you high? Apollo cost about 130 billion dollars to put 12 people on the moon, and in order to make a tourism industry, you're going to need NEW ships capable of holding more than 3 people, stocked with the latest technology, plus the cost of building any new facilities. Let's suppose NASA charges 50 million dollars per ticket and can hold 10 passengers. That's 500 million per launch, and a minimum of several hundred million dollars PER LAUNCH in fuel, upkeep and expenditures, especially since you'll need new rockets for every single launch because they can only be used once. How many trips will you need to make back a 200 million dollar initial investment. ...... what? You didn't think that YOU would have been able to get a ticket right? You can't afford your own cost in fuel. The only way you'd get on that ship is if you sell yourself and go as some rich person's personal slave.

  44. Here's a question: did your Flat Earth leaders tell you that if the Earth were flat, you wouldn't be able to breath? The Earth's air is concentrated in the first few miles above the ground and drops with altitude with populated cities such as Denver already thin enough that people with asthma have trouble. If the Earth were enclosed in a dome, then without gravity or another force holding it back, the air would expand upwards to fill the dome at a roughly equalized pressure like it would any other container, rendering the air too thin to breath.

  45.  @pearlcahoon3484  Radio signals travel at the speed of light. It's about a second and a half delay one way at that distance. Anything longer is your hardware doing data conversions and other junk.

  46. Poor, poor conspiracy sheep. Too blinded by your ego to asnwer the simple question of "Why is the mission named after a term that hadn't been invented yet?"

  47.  @sandwichman2247  Can't answer, can you? Are you unable or unwilling to do so?

  48.  @JosephLayden  As opposed to all of the other changes to it? Changing the car brand seems pretty minor unless it's a whodunnit where the car brand is a relevant clue. Probably just got paid AMC to market their car.

  49.  @JosephLayden  I've seen these claims before. I wasn't impressed then. "They changed the room number to 237 because that's the distance to the moon" But the moon 239,000, not 237. Your logic is wrong. "Then it's... er..... it's the number of the sound stage they were on!" And you have no proof of this. The reality is that the room number was changed because the hotel used for some of the shots feared that using a number the hotel actually has would result in loss of sales if squeamish visitors refused to stay in rooms associated with the movie. By the way, Stephen King saw the Apollo Shining videos. He HATES Kubrick's movie, and even he thinks the conspiracy claims were the biggest bunch of bullshit he ever saw.
