Beyond Apollo conspiracies

Take for example, Apollo 13.
An explosion in the oxygen tank puts the mission on the brink of catastrophe but, through all-American quick thinking brilliance, the crew use the lunar module as a "life boat" and manage to return safely to earth.

As this is complete fiction, is there any esoteric knowledge concealed within?

Okay, I'll play with the troll. I'm a bit of a masochist.

What is complete fiction? The entire Apollo 13 mission or the rescue part? Or something else?

What esoteric knowledge would you expect to find?
 
It's been a long time since we've had a good old-fashioned moon hoax thread. Talk about preponderance of evidence; the missions leading up to them and the moon landings themselves were documented in minute detail. Don't find many folks idiotic enough to argue against all that anymore.

Apparently, because it is a compelling story, it must be fake. The rescue of the Chilean miners must be a hoax too.

Yup we had some attempts at that.

There aren' that many 'Moon Hoaxers' around anymore. We don't get any on BAUT now even though Bad Astronomy was set up to counter such claims and has a Conspiracy Forum for just that subject.

Even Apollohoax.net doesn't get any hoaxers much.
 
Seriously, it amazes me that people still haven't got LGR on ignore. A more obvious troll I have never seen. Every post is nothing but a cry for attention. Wizen up, people!

Yes, ingenuity was certainly important in overcoming the disaster. But some luck didn't hurt either. Had the explosion happened when Lovell and Haise were on the lunar surface, the entire crew would have perished—nothing at all could have been done for them. Had the explosion happened after the CSM had entered lunar orbit, getting out of lunar orbit using just the LM's engines was a much iffier proposition. In short, the explosion happened at just about the right time in the mission to allow for a good chance of recovery.

Also, the LM was always thought of as a possible lifeboat should anything happen to the CSM. That's part of the reason why the Apollo 8 mission was such a bold move—it did not bring a LM along meaning the crew had no such lifeboat.

Lastly, Apollo 13 was not the only near disaster in U.S. space history. The Gemini 8 mission came close to losing the crew—due to a stuck thruster the capsule had entered into a viscious uncontrolled roll that threatened to render the crew unconscious. It was only after command pilot Armstrong broke a mission rule by shutting off the main thruster system and reverting to the re-entry thruster system that he was able to regain control of the craft.

There were other missions which had less serious incidents. But any of those incidents could easily have led to disaster had things gone a little differently.

But they also show why top Test Pilots like Armstrong were piloting those missions.
 
Look, you are free to believe in the Toothfairy if you like. But the fact is the lighting in films prior to the moon landing - and to training sessions on terra firma

looks exactly like the studio lighting that we are supposed to believe the lunar surface looks like

Its a pity that no one was willing to engage more deeply with this pressing issue. Because the Apollo 13 scenario sounded eerily like Gore Vidal's essay Armageddeon, when he discusses the time line that prominent TV evangelicals describe as the Rapture.
 
LGR, what else is light supposed to look like? And why would they train with lights all over the place when they're expecting a monosource at the destination.

In other words, do you think about this stuff before you post it?
 
Apollo moon hoax? Really, lgr? Are you that short of material you've had to resort to one of the most debunked conspiracy "theories" ever? Show some imagination! Make up something about all dogs being instruments of a vicious conspiracy by the Venusians to make us buy cornflakes or something.

You can tell by the overlapping shadows that the diorama in LGR's picture is lit by several nearby light sources.

All the Apollo imagery is lit by a single, large, faraway light source.

If nothing else, the lack of overlapping shadows in actual Apollo imagery flatly contradicts LGR's claim that it's lit identically to his studio image.
 
Really, this is disappointing. I was hoping to discuss the symbology of the Eagle lunar module and the Columbia command module for a further understanding of the Rapture. Instead I am supposed to explain to imbeciles why the lunar surface is going to a little bit brighter than a flourescent street lamp?????

Alas, my talents are wasted here.

Why should here be different from the rest of the universe?

I looked through your posts searching for your compelling evidence - alas there was nothing other than vague allusions that I'm sure must make sense in your mind, otherwise you would not be exposing yourself so badly.

Based upon what I've seen you produce so far, I suspect your talents were wasted a long long time ago, and we're just seeing the backscatter from the event...
