The shots of earth from earth orbit.
Yes, but which ones?! The ones from the practice broadcast which were indeed from Apollo 11 in low Earth orbit before the TLI burn? And have been acknowledged to be from low Earth orbit by everyone involved, but which Bart Sibrel and his cadre held up as evidence of the whole mission being faked?
It doesn't, but does it not sit uncomfortably with you. Lets remember this was a multi-billion dollar exercise and they definitely used filming techniques akin to cinema (and no.... I'm nit saying it was fake and shot in a studio). They had equipment set on timers, positions and angles pre-set.
Its not beyond the realms of rational that ***** were done to save time.
Okay. So let me break this one down. We have two possible scenarios here as I see it.
A) The Apollo 11 crew pre-filmed a broadcast to be shown later in the flight. This was filmed in low Earth orbit. It was used by the flight crew and NASA as a broadcast from further out towards the Moon for....some reason, not really specified, rather than just doing the broadcast from out towards the Moon.
B) The Apollo 11 crew filmed a test broadcast in preparation for a broadcast to be made later in the flight. This was filmed in low Earth orbit. It was used by the flight crew and NASA to test everything for a broadcast from further out towards the Moon....because they didn't really fancy screwing anything up.
Now Sibrel goes with A, and has never really provided a great deal of justification for doing so. Are you going on what he's said? Because if you are, then I'm afraid you're drawing from a source with almost no foundations at all.
