Theres always one troll to every thread.

Thanks for the roll eyes, it's hardly trolling, it's what I believe so posted it

IMO there is no way in the late 60s that any moon mission could have taken place, the tech just wasn't there.... sometimes you can't believe everything you are told (and even after seeing the saturn 5 at kennedy space center I'm still not convinced)

Your funny because somehow your a man of honour yet you post stuff like that, words cannot describe to what level of dumb I think people are who still think we didn't go to the moon, I know there are the foil hat crew but some how a large chunk of society still thinks this. I guess because it's so amazing and so forward thinking and so brave people of this generation 'dont get it' as there stuck in modern nany society and have had 'risk' beaten out of them, willing conformists. Bring on people like Kennedy and von Braun again to move humanity forward.

Maybe I'm the one who isn't dumb ?, it's possible ?

What with faked camera footage both from ships / surface of moon, along with radiation belts, absence of stars from surface, lack of colour footage of good quality when the tech was there... maybe they forgot to take good cameras. Oh, they also only allowed the media to film TV sets and not get a direct feed ?, the list is endless

In 2011 we struggle to get into orbit, let alone all the way to the moon

Key word 'believe' I.e. Ignoring facts, even though it's been inpendantly verified by a Japanese high res lunar orbitor 2 years ago.

Edit: there is tons of good quality film footage Apollo 14-15-16-17 iv seen hours of it!!! I just want some all in one place, and it's great considering the camera was in +- 150c

I won't go into it more but you think what you want to think, its defo true they went to the moon I'm afraid your just going to have to live with it

I've not seen this... would be interesting to see the results.

I hate conspiracy theorys and there followers, but my doubts have only increased as I've got older.

I can't believe even the biggest NASA fan doesn't have some doubts... even if they won't admit it

Come on fellas,i dont think we have to go down the conspiracy theorys route and spoil this thread.

My bad, but out of interest, the Japanese orbiters resolution was 10m per pixel... I'm not sure that could provide any 'evidence'

This bothers me too.

Despite newer tech and travelling only to lower earth orbit the space shuttle seems to have had more problems than the moon rockets ever did.

In defence of the space shuttle it's still using ancient chemical propulsion though so until ion engines are being used, the tech is much the same.

We struggle to get into orbit since that has and always will be the hardest bit (and the return). The difference in sending something to the moon or in earth orbit is only more thrust and a different trajectory.

In regards to the no stars in the pictures, the surface of the moon is very bright and this prevents the camera from seeing the very faint stars. Try taking a picture of the stars when you have a lamp on next to you.

The Van Allen belt did not affect the astronauts since they only passed through it. It’s only a problem if you stay in it for a length of time.

The Jodrell Bank radio telescope picked up the transmissions directly from the moon.

Not to mention that why on earth do you think the Russians didn't say it was faked and why did they suddenly stop trying for the moon.

Great big giant lack of education here, that's all so im not 'blaming you' but you are just not aware of the facts that's all. Yes of course it has more problems its a space plane, its mounted adjacent to the fuel as apposed to 'on top' and it flew 120 times more than Apollo did, and Apollo was just that good a design it went wrong less. Despite not knowing much statistically Apollo went wrong more 2 major incidents from 17 flights as opposed to 2 in god knows how many flights the space shuttle did - you don't need space knowledge for that, just basic maths.

It's really odd you'd post this thread as I spent about 2 hours on YouTube at the weekend watching various videos from the Apollo missions, they were incredible!!

ScarySquirrel · 9 May 2011 at 14:29

I also found this one quite amazing as for some reason I'd never actually bothered to look for a video of the EVA module taking off from the moon.

Skii · 9 May 2011 at 14:40

my favorite is still the Galileo experiment by David Scott on Apollo 15

In what way do we struggle to get into orbit?

The time spent travelling through the van allen belts is not much, the craft is shielded, seriously all of these myths are well documented and debunked, anyone who believes we didnt goto the moon is either extremely easily led or hasnt actually watched any of the footage. Every thread about space or nasa or the moon gets destroyed by trolls saying the same thing, hence the rolled eyes.

So why would the Russians go along with it?

but we don't really struggle to get into orbit we launch 200+ satellites per year.

This actually wasnt the case, Walt Cunningham discusses the potential for catastrophic failure in his autobiography very well for the different types of rockets, the catastrophic failure rate they reckoned on apollo was 1/20, with the Space Shuttle it was 1/100 prior to Challenger and 1/500 or something like that after challenger.

Things were going to go wrong eventually using the Saturn rockets and it was effectively luck that led to their not being any actual failures of the rockets and only one in flight mission scrub.

LoGaN_TnT · 9 May 2011 at 19:04

Flukester you are talking BS.

What was happening with the tech of the 1960s

Well

The SR71 Blackbird still the fastest plane ever made to this date :cool:

(First flight 22 December 1964)

Then Concorde in 1969 the fastest passenger plane ever made to this date. :cool:

Then the Saturn V the most powerful rocket NASA has ever sent in space to this date. (Due to using the shuttle after that due to cheaper running costs)

+ on top of all that your car can do 200,000 miles easy in it's life time which is the same as the distance to the moon sept the Saturn V is going at 22000mph :cool:

All of this is due to more people willing to take risks back then and more funding and less Political correctness

LoGaN_TnT · 9 May 2011 at 22:57

Can anyone find that picture that shows all the satellites currently in orbit looks well good from what i can remember.

janesssssy · 9 May 2011 at 23:18

some great videos here, I realy like this one:

dark of the moon.

you know, if it wasn't for a ball point pen, jammed into a broken switch, they'd still be sat on the moon.

if you can track it down ( it usually surfaces on Science Discovery channel pretty regularly ) i thoroughly recommend First on the Moon: The Untold Story clicky clicky
it's an eye opening documentary on just how close the whole Apollo 11 mission came to being a total stuff up.

Whos saying we even walked on the moon.

Welcome troll number 2, why dont you read the above posts eh, there's a good boy. I also highly recommend getting yourself a good education at some point, it will help hugely.
