Anonymous Coward User ID: 23382441 United States 12/02/2012 10:25 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | There are a lot of anomalies in the photographs from the moon. But the all the photos we have are in the public arena and in the end it could be said well someone must of tampered with the photos and put the anomalies into them. At that point the deciding factor would be the originals, so since the anomalies are real, and referring back to the originals would substantiate that the moon mission was a hoax, NASA had to destroy the evidence and get rid of the pics, videos, voice tapes, etc.... Get it? |

Urban User ID: 6566746 United States 12/02/2012 11:01 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Don't know about the entire mission, but it is patently obvious that many of the Apollo photos were not taken under the conditions that were said to exist during the moon landings. If you're genuinely interested in the subject and not merely a troll, then all you need to do is LOOK at the Apollo photos, without a pre-formed conclusion. The rest is a matter of deduction: The photos were not taken under the conditions said to exist during the moon landings. So this discrepancy means it's very likely that the photos were taken in a studio. Why were they taken in a studio? There are multiple speculations, one of them being that the mission never occurred. I think that is the most likely reason, but I don't consider it set in stone. "There wouldn’t be such a thing as counterfeit gold if there were no real gold somewhere." -–Sufi Proverb |

Get it? Except the originals were not destroyed. The ONLY "missing originals" is television from the Apollo 11 EVA. Television from inside the CM is still held. Every other EVA is still held. The original still and motion picture record of Apollo 11 is still held. Your scenario requires a much more substantial hole in the primary evidence. Oh, yes...and the voice record was intercepted by third parties in transmission. So that would be pretty hard to go out an erase. |

Quoting: Truthache They pulled it off time after time more than forty f-ing years ago using Flintstone tech, and we can't even get our asses up there for a prolonged manned orbit? Or to establish moon-based telescope or or communication system? Or maybe a serious laboratory? Or way-point for other exploration? Or hell, how about just a solar powered moon cam and with a simple public internet moon space weather station right there at Tranquility base? Yeah, I'd even settle for THAT! Don't tell me we can't afford it; That's absolute bullshit. We have proven we can literally lose two trillion dollars with a blink and a shrug with no measurable outrage.

Show the effects on man-made materials after sitting on the moon for over four decades Sure we can waste money but ALL funding for NASA is controlled by Congress. If they decide to spend money then it happens. They haven't decided to mostly because they are all short sighted looking to the next election and the payoff is longer. Have you written to your Congressman asking for what you want? I'll bet you haven't. What technology advancement are you talking about? Computers? How many megabytes does it take to get to orbit? Rocket tech is largely the same and still requiring massive expensive rockets. Waste money? Are you shitting me? I wasn't kidding about the 2 trillion dollars you know. 2 trillion. Gone. Poof! Oh well, nothing to see here, GONE! As far as advancements I'm not just talking on board computers, I'm talking about every aspect. Automated Machining processes, Manufacturing, Materials and equipment advancement, Engineering, Testing and measuring, Communication tech, video tech, and where do you want me to stop? All this and you don't think the industry could shit out a module and an Apollo rocket in half the time with greater quality and control? As far as funding is concerned, the fact is they wouldn't even have to front the expense. All congress REALLY has to do is issue partial support of a massive world funded prize upon completion- say $250 billion or so- for the successful manned mission which meets certain goals. Imagine the effort it would produce. Just give the program a catchy name, have the government step aside, and watch it happen the way things are supposed to. Anyone that says it can't happen has a conflicting agenda. in warm pursuit... |

nomuse (not logged in) User ID: 2380183 United States 12/05/2012 02:46 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | And yet you reply. DO NOT let someone else tell you what you can and cannot recognize for yourself. Quoting: Urban With the magic of verbiage and rhetoric, people can be convinced that day is night and up is down. Good advise, but to a point. The trick is learning how to observe. The senses are easy to fool. Once glance at a page of optical illusions should tell you that. And charlatans will play on these illusions -- go to any live magic show. The larger part of the discipline of any art -- from music to painting -- is learning how to discern what you think you hear or see and what you think something sounds like or looks like from what it IS. The larger part of the discipline of science is the panoply of tools designed to -- most of the time! -- keep you from fooling yourself. This is why there are repeated experiments, why there are statistical methods, why there is double-blinding, why there is peer review. And, over and over, scientists still discover they allowed themselves to be deceived; to see what they expected in the data instead of what was actually there. And that's why the method of science works; because they DID find out. They discovered -- or were helped to discover -- their mistake. "Look" with what tools? No-one is born knowing the scale and modes of the Western Classic tradition (I'm going to skip over here an entertaining but distracting discussion on the mathematics and physiology of musical intervals). They have to be learned. If you were brought up without ever hearing even the slightest scrap of music, could you confidently identify the F# above middle C with nothing but your ears? Just a single example of the great many things we have to learn to perceive. And let's take two other interesting elements of the audio field that may be useful examples. One is the concept of the masking effect. A loud pitch will literally cause a pitch adjacent to it to disappear. This appears to happen in the ear itself and is an artifact of the imperfect response of the cilia. Another is the concept of precedence effect, and this occurs in the brain; a sound will perceptually localize towards the first impulse received at the ears, even if it is followed within a few milliseconds by a louder sound from a different location. The latter effect is so powerful that even if you know it is there, it will yank your perception sideways like a good optical illusion. It takes tremendous practice and skill in order to cut through this illusion and hear both sources in their proper spacial relationship. Right. The subject here is image, not audio. I reached for those examples which are closest to me. The point being, it is entirely possible to not know what you do not know. To not know that your senses are fooling you. This is what training is for. Training is NOT -- as is your ill-thought-out, knee-jerk response, on WHAT to see. It is on HOW to see; and when you understand the tools and the ways your eyes can be fooled, then you can indeed, as you asked, "look for yourself." Until then, you are only fooling yourself -- like the nearly-deaf aunt who fancies herself an excellent singer. If someone like "Nomuse" has a problem with such a simple request as LOOKING AT A PHOTOGRAPH without a pre-conceived opinion, that certainly does imply that there is something odd to be seen in that photograph, does it not? Quoting: Urban If there is nothing to hide and nothing strange to be found, then NO ONE should feel the need to speak up in protest at such a modest and simple suggestion. It is laughable, really. Think about it. But you aren't doing that. Nor is that what I complained about! My complaint is that you can't assume you are a perfect observer. That your experience on Earth is a good guide to what things should look like on the Moon. And I'm not guessing here. I've been around the Apollo Deniers before. I've read practically all of Jack White's "Studies," for instance. I've watched the Fox Special. I am -- my experience leads me to believe -- probably more familiar with more specific claims about impossible Apollo images than you are. And the vast majority of them break down to failures to understand basic geometry, or other fairly simple aspects of real-world light and surfaces that most of us -- most non-artists, most non-photographers -- simply do not have sufficient experience in to be properly analytic. |
