Merged Apollo "hoax" discussion - continuation thread

littleelvira said:
No you are mistaken. Until the Moon Shot book was written, not a one moon walking astronaut had commented that it was easy to see stars from the surface of the moon. Please produce one single reference of an astronaut making such a claim if you believe this to be true. You cannot. So the Shepard comment published on his behalf in 2011 was the first and only such comment.

Translation: I couldn't find anything with a 3 second Google search so it must not exist.
 
Other posters above have pretty much nailed it. We have a poster insisting that not being able to photograph stars is perfectly reasonable, which has been one of the mainstays of the denier cause since the excuse was first fabricated.. He also finds it reasonable that seeing stars in broad daylight on the moon would require some effort to be made.

His only evidence for his cause is an ambiguous statement, part of a series of statements evidently aimed specifically at people like him, clearly not written by the person he thinks it is, that says astronauts could see stars on the lunar surface. Which of course they could under the right circumstances.

The only thing he is bringing to the table here is a complete ignorance of how people who are not writers get their name on the cover of a book. He's the mark in the shell game convinced he had the pea, spending his winnings without realising he has nothing.

Of course Shepard did not make the argument . Barbree is a journalist and was never on the surface of the moon. So the coauthor who wrote that in 2011 did it on his or her own. You don't do that sort of thing for no reason. Proves a hoax.

People make hideous mistakes all the time, journalists are no exception. And again you think you can select one small point and claim some anomaly in it and that somehow means you don't have to address the mass of evidence for the reality of Apollo, I'm afraid it doesn't work that way.
 
Strange that I've never wondered about this, but...

How much variation from the middle of the ~2 week "day" was there among the 6 landings?

My understanding is that the landings were all in the lunar "morning".
 
Yes, most of the people on the thread already know that. Who's saying it didn't happen, besides some banned sock puppets and a serial spammer?
 
people.....

ok.....well then explain to me how it happened because I don't think it did

We built a rocket. We put people in it. We sent that rocket to the Moon. The people got out, walked around, took pictures, and picked up some rocks. They got back in the rocket and came home.

Seriously, libraries (and now the Internet) are full of detailed and complete explanations for how Apollo technology was designed, built, and operated. If you want an explanation for how it was accomplished, it's readily available.

So what makes you think it didn't really happen?

Except when it didn't, according to you.

Could you perchance specify which of these camps you nail your colours to? Or perhaps we should all just guess and adjust our responses accordingly? That will make for an interesting thread.

Nice summary Jay, but you forgot the flag planting. ;)
