Apollo 11 Moon Landing Revisited: Hoax ~vs~ Debunk

[Reformed Offlian]

Oh please. The claim they 'changed clothes' in the module was to explain why the unidentifiable persons on the raft were wearing wetsuits and not their space gear. The astronauts on Artemis III had to be prised out by up to 150 guys.

The Artemis III mission hasn't happened yet.

The Artemis II didn't have 150 guys around the capsule prying people out. That notion is absurd to even visualize. Did you mean 15, perhaps? That might be closer to the truth.

She was just covering all the possible numerical variations to avoid confusion.

III can be II. Extra zeros. Whatever, it’s all acceptable in accounting.

 

[Foster Zygote]

As usual, not true.

Not the comeback you were thinking it would be.

 

[Foster Zygote]

And what if people in Canada use '150' in place of '15'?

They might get stars to show up in their photos.

Since you played "what's wrong with this picture" and lost, here's another chance to get something right:

Why might it be a bad idea to get out of the Command Module and into the open ocean in a tiny raft while wearing a space suit?

The astronauts on Artemis III had to be prised out by up to 150 guys. Here you have a handful of 'frogmen'.

Are you a "numbers person" or do you have dyscalculea? Why do you keep making up ridiculously exaggerated, or understated numbers?

We never actually saw it splashdown, either.

Several Apollo splashdowns were filmed.

OK, so Artemis III was in an especially pressurised module and the crew never left the craft.

What are you talking about? What "especially pressurized module"? The Artemis II Orion capsule and the Apollo Command Modules were actually lower than sea level air pressure in space. Why do you keep making up "facts" only to be proved wrong?

But the three guys who bounded down the navy helicopter steps could have been anyone at all, or at least they looked as right as rain.

Anyone at all who looked exactly like Aldrin, Armstrong and Collins.

As for the quarantine; that was utter nonsense, too. The word quarantine comes from the Italian for 'forty', meaning forty days isolation to ensure no symptoms of ill health appear. 21 days is a joke, when even the latest Hantavirus and Ebola contacts are forced into legally-enforced quarantine for much longer periods.

Finally we get to see yet another of the many fields in which you have expertise.

I agree the entire thing, especially the interview behind glass was an entire performance for TV PR.

Yeah, but then you confidently thought that being exposed to radiation makes you radioactive. So we know what your views are worth.

 

[Foster Zygote]

It was probably a dress rehearsal. After all, the Russians found one of the capsules floating about. I think it was JayUtah who confirmed it was used for 'training'.

Is your reading comprehension really that bad, or is this really all just as attention seeking act?

Anyway, if 'Moon Germs' were feared, why open the hatch in the middle of the ocean, when it could have been towed to an isolation unit (if alien germs were the big fear)?

Case in point: no one in the biological sciences really thought it was even a remote possibility. But it turns out there are these people in the world called "idiots" who think they know better than scientists, and they didn't want them losing their ◊◊◊◊.

I believe the polite term is "decision maker".

 

[PSXer]

I think we can agree there is only one logical conclusion. NASA utilizes child labor so they can fit 150 guys around the capsule.

If anyone is genuinely interested in the recovery process, there's the book "Hornet plus 3", which goes into great detail (I have a copy). I got this from eBay

https://onebigmonkey.com/apollo/ephemera/NASA/tf-130-140.pdf

which is a press release from Task Force 130/140 for Apollo 15, so it obviously doesn't have the quarantine element..

You can read the Hornet's own logs https://catalog.archives.gov/id/595160

and all manner of documents from the Hornet and other ships in the recovery task force here

https://www.history.navy.mil/content/history/nhhc/search.html?q=apollo+11+recovery&start=0&pdf=true&ts=false

and in so doing add every single crew member to the list of co-conspirators.

Vixen asked what the chemicals were supposed to kill off. They didn't know, that was the point. There was indeed a very very minimal risk (arguably zero) of any kind of biological lunar contamination, but they didn't know that, so guess what, they took precautions and worked otu a way of dealing with an unknown quantity. Almost as if they planned things to cover all the bases.

Yeah but the flag shouldn't have moved around cos there should be no wind on the Moon etc etc etc

I've read a book called The Wind on the Moon, by Eric Linklater, obvuously a fact-filled description, so I know it can be windy up there.

 

[Jack by the hedge]

They couldn't film the splashdown because the capsule had got tangled up in a bunch of the fake cardboard stars during reentry, and they had to wait until the waves washed them off before showing it on live TV.

I lost my heart to a starship frogman...
Got rocket control and a very big fin...

Or maybe just adults who have been taken to the Moon, thus making them 1/6 of their previous size.

One can never be too careful; the capsule might have a vermicious knid inside!

Here's Captain Glover, pilot for the last Artemis mission from last week's lecture at the Naval Postgraduate School here in Monterey, CA. Thanks to NPS I've met many shuttle astronauts over the years. Would have loved to attended this one. I figured this thread could use some reality.

 

[Andy_Ross]

Do they have to wear flight suits forever now?

It's the only way to protect everyone else from the dangerous radiation.
