Sufficient information was retained for all practical purposes (including historical).

What, do you think they should have saved all their form W-9's for posterity? Why not? When does the arbitrary list of necessary paperwork end?
 Quoting: nomuse (NLI) 11910009


Arbitrary paperwork, for the most historical technological achievement of mankind of the 20th Century, you call that arbitrary?

Do you know what I would call your response to said comment, a fucking lie, one you're prepared to perpetuate anyway you see fit. Arbitrarily choosing any data, that seems to fit any argument you can imagine to wish away any, and ALL questions posed here with your NASA inspired hogwash.


 Quoting: ZIPUX


Why did you change the sense of my response?

Were you unable to address the reality of what I said, and had to make up a lie about what I said?

The paperwork isn't arbitrary. The point at which you have "enough" paperwork is arbitrary.

I said "arbitrary list." You subsisted "arbitrary," connecting the verb to the wrong subject. Real honest of you.

Although it is clear where that point is for you: at whatever depth of paperwork you believe (however erroneously) no-one is able to provide you.
 Quoting: nomuse (NLI) 11910009


blah blah blah, so your answer is that the blueprints were not important enough to hold onto which is ridiculous. and then you go on to compare blueprints of one of the most historical machines ever made to a W-9 form. thanks for the attempts at comedy.

Different focal length. In each case the Earth takes up 2 degrees as it should. The difference is that the cameras had different sizes on the field of view.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 11398639


70-mm Hasselblad Electric Camera. This camera, which was carried aboard the command module, featured a motor-drive mechanism, powered by two nickel-cadmium batteries, that advanced the film and cocked the shutter whenever the camera was activated.

This was the camera they used to take both shots.. now explain your focal length theory...

What is focal length?. Very simply, it is the distance from the lens to the film, when focused on a subject at infinity. In other words, focal length equals image distance for a far subject. To focus on something closer than infinity, the lens is moved farther away from the film. This is why most lenses get longer when you turn the focusing ring.

You need to change the lens to change the focal length.. this didnt happen with the above camera..

Are you SURE they didn't? I'll bet they did because I KNOW they did. The total field of view is different on the two pictures. In each case the Earth takes up 2 degrees as it should.

two of the photos i was referring to were actually both taken from the command module..

I do realise the two above that you have listed were taken with different cameras.. however, as much as i can research the lenses were the same so no focal length issue.

I understand. Of course they are different it seems to me that, if so, one was taken with a wide , 20 mm type and the other would have to be at least a 150 mm, from my photographic knowledge.. Anyway That certainly means that such lenses were on board..I guess. It should be in the photography equipment info I suppose.

Those were serious? I assumed the pole pic was zoomed in and the few prints that were visible were close enough. Can you prove they weren't?
As for the sun, that was the one at the top of the LM right? I don't think the whole disk of the sun is visible. Most of what you see is lens flare and glare from dust on the lens.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 11802684


That's an interesting one, though I can already guess the response. It will be the same as the response to the "no tracks behind the rover" photo: dust was kicked up afterwards and obscured the tracks/footprints. And then new footprints were made over the re-settled dust.

Though judging from the photos I consider this to be highly unlikely, it is still not completely impossible and so the attack dogs will cling to it until their dying day.

But that's the problem with this whole debate: People who question the story are still intellectually honest and will acknowledge when something is in fact within the realm of possibility, even if it is unlikely. Sadly I've witnessed very little intellectual honesty on the other side.

"What would Earth look like in the sky if you were standing on the Moon? Well, picture how big the Moon looks in the sky when you see it at night, and then look at the image of the Moon above. See how big Earth is in the image? Well, that's how much bigger Earth would appear, compared to the Moon that you're already familiar with. It'd be enormous! Also, due to Earth's much larger size and brightness, Earth would appear fifty times as bright as the Moon would from Earth. Try to imagine all this the next time you're outside at night looking up at the Moon in frustration when you've given up trying to remember where you parked your car."


[link to www.coolsciencefacts.com]

I am having some difficulty with conceptualising standing on the moon and looking at earth, hence trawling through Google to find a non NASA source of data which is proving much more difficult to find than you'd imagine.

I found the above.

Which 'kinda' sits comfortable with my personal 'thinking' on this matter, which is very much at odds with so many NASA images we have been shown, where the earth looks smaller than the moon viewed from earth in many images I have seen.

Any help please to resolve this.

Re: Game Over for NASA Moon-Landing Hoax
I have just found a detailed list of the photos, and what lenses were used when each one was taken.. might i say at the outset, many many photos of the earth that are listed as being taken, are not available for public viewing.. im wondering why..

Im mature enough to agree that the focal length issue is real, and where i find myself corrected, i will stand by it and admit it..

i am trying to go through this 200 page document to match up photos used with the varying lenses and match them up.. it is quite possible that I have made an error in some of the photos and that different lenses were used and so some of my examples will of course then be incorrect..

as always i want the truth, and when im wrong, im wrong.. its simple and not hard to admit..

photography mistakes aside, it still does not address the issues we bring up within the photos.. the lack of dust on the LM, the lack of foot prints around the pole, the alternate light sources, the position of the earth, in the moons sky, i realise at this point i will have to do more indepth correlating to address the focal length issue and make sure i have my facts straight in relation to size, which i will do..

The known fact is that the moon is a qurter the size of the earth.
Like this
[link to www.hq.nasa.gov]

This was supposedly taken from Apollo
The problem that I have is that the proportion in that photo would be correct if it was taken by a " normal" lens but, and this is a big problem, this photo was supposedly taken with a telephoto lens. The only telephoto carried in that mission was a 500 mm attached to a Hasselblad camera. If so the earth should look much , much bigger.

I would think reflected light would look a lot like a fill flash. Doesn't mean the flash was there. Plenty of evidence for reflected light though.

Re: Game Over for NASA Moon-Landing Hoax
Notice how not one single believer has addressed the pole with no boot prints around it photo.. im waiting that explanation with excitment..

notice also how none of them have addressed the sun photo issue either...

I love how they just pick and choose what they want to address...

Those were serious? I assumed the pole pic was zoomed in and the few prints that were visible were close enough. Can you prove they weren't?
As for the sun, that was the one at the top of the LM right? I don't think the whole disk of the sun is visible. Most of what you see is lens flare and glare from dust on the lens.

No the pole pic was not zoomed in... so care to explain how they errected it with out getting close enough nor even facing it?

I will give you the benefit of the doubt here and use another picture of the sun.. a full shot one, so you can be absolutely sure that it is fake..

this is a full sun shot...

sun should look like this... lens flare and all

Re: Game Over for NASA Moon-Landing Hoax
Which 'kinda' sits comfortable with my personal 'thinking' on this matter, which is very much at odds with so many NASA images we have been shown, where the earth looks smaller than the moon viewed from earth in many images I have seen.

Any help please to resolve this.

The known fact is that the moon is a qurter the size of the earth.
Like this

This was supposedly taken from Apollo
The problem that I have is that the proportion in that photo would be correct if it was taken by a " normal" lens but, and this is a big problem, this photo was supposedly taken with a telephoto lens. The only telephoto carried in that mission was a 500 mm attached to a Hasselblad camera. If so the earth should look much , much bigger.
Very confusing


According to the document ive just found, this above picture taken from the command module was taken with a 250mm lens.. not sure how that matches up .. but that is what this photo analysis document says

..lol...yh...I agree



Hmm, that is one image I have difficulty with, you know the one where they take it from a low angle near the LM, Earth looks really tiny within the image.

Been fortunate to have been in some places on Earth 100's of miles from any artificial light sources, and various locations on Earth, where the moon can look so huge and clear, you feel you could reach out and touch it.

Surely standing on the moon looking towards Earth it would look friggin enormous, the distance would be the same obviously, but surely it would be, well the known facts:

Mean Diameter in KM's

Earth 12,742
Moon 3,476

The Earth is 3.7 times larger in diameter than the moon.

I understand that if you take a photograph with a 20mm lens for example, then the Earth would appear to look small in some of the images we have been shown.

I go along with the link/info I posted earlier, which stated from the Moon, Earth would look enormous, 3.7 times more enormous to be precise. There is no image I have seen to date taken by NASA that demonstrates this.


I don't know why the post is not correct, checked it here now and it looks fine but not displayed properly.....soz....

Re: Game Over for NASA Moon-Landing Hoax
This particular camera carried by the astronauts on the LM has brought up some questions for me..

If the chest mounted hasselbald was designed with a trigger action so as to make it simple to use because of the astronauts gloves and the inability to use them with fine motor skills prevent by the bulk of the pressurised suits, then how could they manage to operate this camera..

70-mm Hasselblad Lunar Surface Superwide-Angle Cameras. These cameras, which were carried aboard the lunar module, were operated manually for the shutter and film advance.

If they were supposedly only used within the LM then i guess that would work with their gloves off.. but if this camera was used outside.. how would they manually operate the shutter and film advance with such bulky gloves?

Zoomed in as in they physically had the camera closer. It looked to me like the footprints were close enough.

Why should that pic be fake? Was there or was there not dust on the moon that could have gotten onto the lens and affected the way it looks?
