Apollo 11 Moon Landing Revisited: Hoax ~vs~ Debunk

[zooterkin]

Er, NASA commissioned the Ektachrome bods to provide the film for Apollo.

It's deja vu all over again.

 

[Andy_Ross]

Haha. It is patently obvious I was referring to the bespoke Moon edition of Ektachrome. Or do you suspect what Percy suspects, that it's non-existent as it wasn't actually needed as it never happened?

What is bespoke about it?

 

[Jack by the hedge]

You can look it up on wiki. You seemed to have had no problem understanding the concept before, so I assume you are being frivolous.

Wiki does not tell me what you imagine you meant. It was painfully clear you had no good idea what you were talking about but threw the word in hoping to sound smart.

 

[Vixen]

No, you were just demonstrating your ignorance. Ilford produce monochrome film stock, not colour. And the colour film sold under their name is inferior, so not suitable for the Apollo missions.

No, that is YOUR ignorance.

 

[zooterkin]

Er, NASA commissioned the Ektachrome bods to provide the film for Apollo.

Which has what to do with whether stars should be seen in the photos taken on the Moon with the known equipment and settings?

 

[Andy_Ross]

That's Andy Ross's stupidity in mentioning it.

You said the photographers you know use Ilford.
I asked what Ilford colour film do they use?

 

[zooterkin]

No, that is YOUR ignorance.

My six-year-old granddaughter argues in a more adult way than this.

 

[Andy_Ross]

OK. What was the idea behind theoretically achieving its hill?

to die on it?

 

[Vixen]

What is bespoke about it?

Asked and answered.

 

[Andy_Ross]

Don't twist my words. I did not say it was a better choice. I was responding to JayUtah gushing like a starstruck schoolboy as to how "iconic" Ektachrome was, being incredibly popular with the public. I simply pointed out that the snob photographers I knew all preferred Ilford.

Which Ilford film did they prefer and why?

 

[Jack by the hedge]

Er, NASA commissioned the Ektachrome bods to provide the film for Apollo.

That's a yes then. You know of no better film for the job and you know it couldn't have captured stars with fraction of a second exposures. Looks like we're done here.

Look, playing word games is a waste of everybody's time.

 

[Andy_Ross]

I was countering JayUtah's apparent belief that 'popular' equates to 'best'. Being market leader often has no correlation at all with level of quality. I was correcting a common misconception.

Professional photographers use Ektachrome extensively, do they use it because it's popular or because of the quality?

 

[Andy_Ross]

Er, NASA commissioned the Ektachrome bods to provide the film for Apollo.

Who are the "Ektachrome Bods"?

What exactly did they commission?

 

[SpitfireIX]

Citation, please.

Citation to what? That all your accusations of sexism, misogyny, and racism are false? No. The burden of proof is squarely on you to demonstrate that they're true (which you won't, because you can't). Further, I found one transparently false claim of yours (and the chain of responses) that was AAHed, so quoting or linking to it would be against the membership agreement.

Bearing in mind, Knox remains permanently convicted of falsely blaming the African guy of rape and murder.

Are you being deliberately obtuse again? Or did you just not bother to read what I wrote beyond skimming it? I'm talking about your false accusations of racism against posters in the Amanda Knox thread who agree with the ultimate acquittal of her and Raffaele and the conviction of Guede for Meredith's murder. This has nothing to do with Amanda's coerced false accusations against Patrick. And then you wonder why people think you may have cognitive issues.

Perverting the Course of Justice is classed as a serious crime in the UK, USA (Obstruction of Justice) and Italy (criminal calumny). This is factual and proven, and nothing whatever to do with this thread.

Then why did you bring it up? Further, your guilter fantasies notwithstanding, the European Court of Human Rights has already tossed Amanda's unfair conviction for said false accusations once, they will toss the unfair reconviction (which wrongly treated her retraction as a second accusation), and they'll toss any further reconvictions until the Italians finally get the message and clean up their act.

 

[Andy_Ross]

Asked and answered.

You haven't answered.
Where have you told us what is bespoke?

 

[Vixen]

Which Ilford film did they prefer and why?

Er, because some were professional (cf Keith Morris, Ansel Adams [_sp?] and others members of 'arty' camera clubs.

[Andy_Ross]

Ansel Adams famously favored Kodak Panatomic-X and Agfa Isopan.
For colour work he used Kodachrome.
Can you tell me why?

 

[threadworm]

All moot. Apollo took Kodak film and Hasselblad cameras.

(And the odd 35mm Nikon)
