What is that supposed to mean?
What is that supposed to mean?
There is no disputing that the Eagle was "found" by way of photos. The landing site coordinates were said to have been determined by way of the photo/image data. I freely admit that I was unaware of the 70 mm LITTLE WEST CRATER shots. That said, I was indeed well aware that it was images of landmarks such as this and others noted on the 16 mm shots that provided for the identification of the landing site at 00 41' 15" north and 23 26' 00" east. It has been the subject of many prior posts, the identification of the landing site by way of the photos/16 mm shots.(I do not know myself if LITTLE WEST CRATER is well seen on the 16 mm video. I assumed that to be the case, regardless, other landmarks are well seen. At any rate, that is not the point here.)
Despite my lack of awareness of the 70 mm LITTLE WEST CRATER shots, it hardly changes my point or its validity. My claim is that the landing site coordinates are not announced in real time because what is feared is someone on the ground saying, "take a picture of this, or take a picture of that!!!!!!" It is the reason for the terrible resolution/quality on the Apollo 11 television "shots" and the reson for Bean breaking his camera in the setting of the staged Apollo 12 "landing". In the Apollo 12 case, the astronauts are allegedly right at the surveyor 3 site. The last thing the perpetrators want with the astronauts not there on the moon is to have someone ask Bean to image something in particular. So he breaks his camera.
I have also suggested with reference to Apollo 13, such concerns may have been a motivation for the disaster in space scenario. They simply were not ready to try and do a more complex moonscape, one with Fra Mauro identifying landmarks.
I freely admit that I did not know about the 70 mm LITTLE WEST CRATER shots. But that does not mean I was unaware that NASA claimed the Tranquility Base coordinates were identified by way of images/video/film, and in particular the 16 mm video was claimed to have been most helpful. I was the one who pointed that out in this thread with respect to the discussion of the landing site coordinates in the Apollo 11 Mission Report Table 5-IV, the photos/video/ images yielded the exact landing site coordinates 00 41' 15" north and 23 26' 00" east. Be my guest, check the posts. The point was MINE...
Erock is correct, there are 70 mm Armstrong shots of LITTLE WEST CRATER. But that does not change the relevance, validity or force of my point. They ABSOLUTELY DO NOT WANT THE COORDINATES REVEALED IN REAL-TIME lest someone say, "HEY DO THIS!!!!!! TAKE A PIC OF THAT!!!!"
I admit that I was unaware of Armstrong's shots of the little crater, but my point stands strong and as well as ever......
