Merged Apollo "hoax" discussion - continuation thread

I notice that Apollohoax.net appears to be down.

Any AH members here who have Lunar Orbit's email addy might want to give him a heads up.

Sorry, but no and his domain record is proxied to the hilt, so no joy their.

A good bet would be Jay, since the clavius.org discussion forum is hosted there.

LunarOrbit is the moderator of the forum as well as its owner. The portion of the forum he's set up for people to ask me questions about my site is also therefore under his moderation. I keep a respectful distance from LunarOrbit so that his moderation there, if necessary, can't easily be construed as favoritism. Hence we don't routinely converse in private.
 
Ah. I understood it differently and wondered why you would've been in the doghouse.

At any rate I'm simultaneously saddened and heartened by the thought of AH going away - sad, because I started internetting there, happy that it no longer seems needed in the world.

We did good things there, I feel.

Oh, I see. Yes, I guess in ISF parlance "being moderated" means having been subjected to moderator intervention. Not true so much there. I think LunarOrbit has castigated me maybe twice? in 10 years.

Don't fret prematurely. Judging by the error, I suggest it's simply a server issue that the provider will fix in due time.
 
According to Lunar Orbit, the owner:
Sorry about that. My web host decided to upgrade my server last night and it caused some issues. Everything should be back to normal now.

One of several newsstand Conspriacy Magazines (Uncensored) ran a Moon Hoax article as their front page item. All of it seemed to have been copied from a website calling itself 'Apollo Reality' which claims amongst other things that the missions were fillmed not at Area 51, but NASA Langley. Links to the two related pages are below. I've used 'Do Not Link' as I do not want to give these guys any more hits.

If this site has been discussed before, please disregard, but it's always worthwhile keeping an eye on the new(?) wrinkles when they appear.
 
Hilarious, but not a "new" wrinkle. Just new lint in an old one.

Pro Apollo Nutters know that the fake moon landings were actually filmed in a variety of locations, including a volcano crater in Mexico and a vast cavern in Russian created by underground nuclear testing.

Also, PANs know the gantry was actually used to manipulate the stylus for Apollo-era digital photo manipulation. Like all technology, pixels were bigger in the 60s. The stylus, a precursor of the Wacom device, had to be 15' long to work with them.

Pro Apollo Nutters also know that A13 was the only mission to actually land on the moon. Unsure if astronauts would survive the Searing Radiation Hell, NASA cooked up the in flight emergency in case they needed to scuttle the mission.
 
Many times.. Sam Colby is old crackpot news.

One of my favorite giggles is this line:

"In any case anyone with the slightest gumption knows that it is impossible to control a rocket engine. "
 
Sam Colby, a.k.a. "NASAScam" is one of the nuttier ones -- and how. He was one of the first I ran into when assembling Clavius.org. I figured if they were all as dumb as he, I would have a very easy task. Among the stupidest of his claims: he couldn't figure out how the astronauts got from the "conical moon module" past the heat shield to go down into the "command module."

He's a Brit, and he's never been to the United States. So it's comical to watch him confuse NASA's Langley research center with Langley, Virginia (quite far away) where CIA is headquartered. And also his contention that the "top secret" giant crane at (CIA/NASA headquarters in Langley) was used to stage the landing video, apparently not realizing that a major highway runs right past the crane site.

I could go on, but if the media is trying to resurrect Colby, they've reached the bottom of the barrel.
 
The only "source" more uniformly useless than Colby is McGowan.

Bold, unsupported assertions, argument from ignorance and very wrong fundamental notions are their hallmark.

....past the heat shield...? They... he... I can't... I mean...


I give up.

I'd say Jack White is up there too. Although with him it was more stubbornness. Mistaking which side is which of the LM is one thing. Persisting after being shown multiple ways how you are wrong is something else.
