I haven't seen someone shill this hard for Nasa since Phil Plait.

This guy has it all wrong, mixes truth with [b]lies[/b], throws unecessary random factoids at you like a bad multiple choice question, shoves some strawmen and ad hominem and smugly diverts things at the end to things like Patriot Act.

Pick one.  Name it, illustrate it.

And he's no knee-jerk supporter of government.  Read the rest of his blog some time.

His entire argument is that 'we didn't have the technology to fake it, so we must have gone to the moon'. [b]The whole telecast was recorded on early standardized tv tape.[/b] Don't let moran over here side track you with film geek nonsense about movie reel lengths.

This guy's a total idiot.

No it wasn't.

To be pedantic, no television signal sent from an Apollo spacecraft or from the Moon was broadcast standard.  They were made in unique low data-rate forms, combined with other telemetry, recorded on massive mag tape reels.  They were also decoded and displayed in a couple of places on Earth, and on-the-fly telecine-like format conversions made to NTSC and PAL for delivery to the broadcasters.

Recordings were also performed on the converted material, then the original non-format broadcast included with the other telemetry was archived for possible later use (and, unfortunately, destroyed some years later).

Not that I get why you think that matters.  How does how it was recorded have to do with whether it could be faked?  (And are you aware that in the period and for a good decade or two after that, effects were typically done on film even for material that was going to be broadcast?)

Original Message I know it's not as sexy as gun news, but I know we have at least a few guys who believe the moon landings were fake, and it was interesting to hear the take of a filmmaker.
