Merged Discussion of the moon landing "hoax"

[PhantomWolf]

Then they are either knaves or fools or possibly both.

Or the more likely explanation, they knew their jobs very well and you live in a reality of you own that is vastly different the rest of the world's.

 

[likelystory]

I know you want to keep your name in lights, but this was debunked in page 1. How old are you again?

You nor any other person debunked it. And I never stole anyone's avatar.

I am not saying they didn't know their jobs very well, I am just saying they were either knaves or fools or both.

I wish you would pay closer attention.

 

[little grey rabbit]

Do you? If so then you can explain it to the rest of us.

ETA: waiting with baited breath, something smells fishy around here.

Unfortunately it appears that to explain this would be a breach of Rule 11. If you really need to have explained I am sure you would be allowed to start a new thread and ask the same question. Alas, in this thread I can not help you.

So do then explain exactly how the radio signals could have been faked as coming from the moon without them being aware?

What part of knaves or fools or both do you not understand?

 

[Andy_Ross]

They point their dish at the moon and got the signals, the signals moved with the moon. What's so hard?

It did make an excellent Aussie feel-good movie.

Can I just abbreviate it to K.F or B now?

 

[matt.tansy]

the sandbags fall way too fast

Show us your math.

 

[matt.tansy]

I guess the best people to explain that are the people at Parkes itself.

Its not my job to pull their chestnuts out of the fire for them.

[I have no idea what that last expression means, but I always like the sound of it]

You claimed the radio transmissions were faked. Can you back up your claim?

 

[PhantomWolf]

You are making a claim that they were either in on it or fooled, so let's eliminate fooled first.

If they couldn't have been fool it leaves two options, Apollo was real, or the Australians were in on it too.

In one case your supposed conspriacy is about to start growing expotentially as we're going to have to add in every amatuer ham radio operator that listened in, and every radio telescope that did as well, including the Soviets.

So I suggest you start making your case instead of waving your hands in the breeze.

My dear Wolf, I have it on such excellent authority that the Moon Landings are a poorly executed fake (and they certainly appear that way when you look at the materials produced) that you are simply wasting your breath.

I have said it before and I say it again, I don't want to "make a case" or prove anything. In fact, I have explicit instructions not, explicit instructions regarding non-interference in human affairs, explicit instructions regarding the rights to self-governance - no matter how lunatic that government may be. We are allowed a little leeway to indulge in some occasional good natured ribbing in small pockets of the internet we know are exclusively populated by Illuminati or people who's minds are so burned out it doesn't matter.

As for ham radios - while I don't know the details of what amateurs could hear and what they couldn't - would it not be possible that this could be the result of transmissions from earth bouncing off.....what do you people think it bounces of again......the name slips my mind.....well the thing that radio waves bounce off.

I think Matt will say that could not be the case with Parkes, but it might, I tentatively suggest, work for the ham radio enthusiansts - simply a function of the radiowave bouncing thingy up above, doing what it does best....bouncing radiowaves in its inimitable way.

I put it no more strongly than that.

Troll. Feed. Don't.

The 27th post of Cavorite, it took over 2 years of waiting, but when it came it was a gem of gnomic wisdom.

Pull the other one.

Oh great...he's a spaceman...

He's certainly out there somewhere.

I have it on excellent authority that your excellent authority is wrong.

I suggest you look up the meanings of VHF and S-Band, and then look up Moonbounce and see which one works and which one doesn't. Then look at which one Apollo used.

All excellent suggestions but I am afraid of about interest to me as the rules of Quidditch. If you want to make your points here I will read them, whether on Quidditch or Moonbounce, but as I said before my handlers say there are bigger fish to fry.

Very interesting - one of the definitions of handler in Encarta is:

Somebody who trains or manages a working animal.....
