Apollo 11 Moon Landing Revisited: Hoax ~vs~ Debunk

[Steve]

Which uneducated guess are you talking about?

Her own, of course.

 

[Andy_Ross]

No.

Ektachrome was chosen because it was the fastest available. Compared to Kodachrome film it's less demanding to shoot and develop.
It was also on a stable, polyester-based ESTAR base

 

[Gawdzilla Sama]

At the very least the co-conspirators would have pulled off the greatest hoax in history. BUT it would have been simpler to actually go there. "Straining at gnats and swallowing camels" is still a thing, I guess.

 

[Foster Zygote]

So, now that we are all on the same page, tell us which satellite was used to beam TV images to earth, and whilst you are busy, the logistical steps by which to set it up for that exact time and place.

Maybe you should explain why you keep insisting that a satellite was required?

You've claimed that the moon required a "geopositioned" satellite in orbit at an altitude where its orbital period would match the moon's rotational period. You were told that this altitude was equal to the distance to the earth.

There is no line of sight issue, and as amateur radio operators frequently bounce signals off of the moon for fun, there's clearly no need to amplify the signal to cross the distance. So why do you keep insisting such a satellite was necessary? (And yes, that's a rhetorical question.)

Stop bringing in your ubiquitous explains-all radio waves.

You do know that satellites communicate using radio waves, right?

Used that for my Mamiya 645 1000S. Donated it a neighborhood PD when I retired. Their budget didn't allow for any high quality gear. (Small town Indiana. The local cop car was a 1957 Cheverolet.)

Vixen, Vixen, Vixen, you never fail to disappoint. We can always count on you for one more mind-numbingly stupid comment.

 

[Foster Zygote]

Many a true word...

Actually Armstrong moved his joystick (settle down at the back) to avoid landing in a crater, the engine having been switched off, and Buzz reading out the altitudes, as though landing a fighter jet.

No wonder it's every little kiddies' dream.

I see you looked up the slang term for the control stick after I noted your use of "gear stick". And, once again with feeling, the engine wasn't shut down until Aldrin called out "contact", when they were literally just a few feet above the surface, A couple of seconds before touchdown.

You clearly didn't comprehend what you were listening to, but you've continued to state that the DPS engine was shut down long before it actually was, even after having been informed of your error. Is it that you simply don't read responses because you're only interested in performative lecturing, or are you so upset by your own clear errors that you choose to pretend you can't see them?

 

[JayUtah]

That is not the correct logic.

Yes it is.

Brightness, like sound, is based on magnitude...

Not if you express relative brightness as a percentage instead of a magnitude. A percentage is a ratio. That's fundamental. It's something all "numbers people" know.

That was my thought process and not 'simple linear maths' as you claim.

Except you confirmed via Google that yours was the wrong thought process.

 

[JayUtah]

So, are you confirming NASA did use TETRA...?

It's TETR-A, and no, Bart Sibrel doesn't know what he's talking about.

 

[Mojo]

Why would they need a satellite? Just point your antena back at earth, and press the send button.

In Vixenworld^TM light doesn't travel in straight lines.

 

[Andy_Ross]

In Vixenworld^TM light doesn't travel in straight lines.

Relativity and all that.

 

[JesseCuster]

I don't know why everyone is confused. It's simply a matter of travelling 250,000K miles in your thin-walled aluminium capsule, setting up your dusty old Hasselblad in the pitch black of a crater on the side of the Moon that has never had any sunlight, move the gearr stick around a little bit to adjust the settings provided by the Ektachrome bods for the magnitude of your camera lens, and have the photos relayed to earth on a non-GEO positioned satellite.

Kemo sabe?

You will also need to adjust your camera's contrast setting to account for the effects of moon radiation...

You do know that satellites communicate using radio waves, right?

Clearly not.

And don't tell V what radio waves actually are...

 

[Foster Zygote]

Stop bringing in your ubiquitous explains-all radio waves.

So you want to talk about communications satellites without anyone mentioning radio waves?

 

[Carrot Flower King]

So you want to talk about communications satellites without anyone mentioning radio waves?

The first rule of communication satellites is...

 

[Jack by the hedge]

So you want to talk about communications satellites without anyone mentioning radio waves?

Radios receive old-fashioned radio signals. TVs receive TV signals. Satellites use satellite signals. It's quite technical.

 

[Reformed Offlian]

There is direct line of sight from the Moon to the Earth.
Why would a satellite be needed?

For the same reason that you need the Hubble Telescope to see the moon. It's just basic EM physics.

 

[Carrot Flower King]

Radios receive old-fashioned radio signals. TVs receive TV signals. Satellites use satellite signals. It's quite technical.

Is that the sort of thing you get taught in Incredibly Difficult O-level Physics, which the rest of us didn't do, 'cos we just did normal O-level physics or degrees in normal physics, like Nephew #1 (to name but one)?

It's all so confusing, isn't it?

 

[Carrot Flower King]

I'm now beginning to think I may have to revisit Adam Duritz's lyrics to Recovering The Satellites, as he may have been trying to tell us something.

Not to mention investigating why the Mad Professor called his Protection version Radiation Ruling The Nation.

This is going deeper and deeper. Were Duritz and the Professor on to something?
