I been lurking for years. You guys have not changed a note.

40 pluss years and no pics no new info no reliable old info nothing.

and you ignore words from the mouth of the only guy who could say only a little.

think people, think for yourself.......why no moon rovers?

because of the lie.

How cute that you think there were no rovers or that rovers are the best way to study the Moon. Russia sent a few rovers. Since Apollo there have been many mission to study the Moon. Your ignorance of their existence doesn't change that fact.

And no pics? So Selene, the LRO, etc. offered nothing?

You can google but I'll bet you don't understand it. It is talking about a very low flux rate that would be dangerous to long term missions and colonies due to cumulative exposure. Hilarious that you're trying to say they didn't go to the Moon and using data discovered because they did go to try to prove it.

I didn't say that and I didn't think it. I do now. Typically those that resort to ad hominems do so because they have run out of everything else.

You still haven't answered how much gamma you think they would have been dealing with. Posting sources without comment just shows you can google.
 Quoting: Weasel_Turbine


I played no games...you also did imply insult.

My point was simple,where is the damaged Film?

Where is the proof that the Film had better protection than I claimed?

Finally,I posted the first PDF to show that there is major issues(was)with Near Space Film Protection and the second to show how a question like 'How much Gamma is there on the Surface of the Moon' has major issues due to the freak Nature of Radiation in Space/on the Moon.

Why should there be damaged film? You have yet to show the gamma was enough to be a problem. The first PDF says they had a problem on ONE mission and the problem was occasional. The second is about a very low flux rate phonomenon that would be an issue for very long stays.

Have you looked at every photo? Because quite a few do show damage of some type. Some have sunstrike. Some look foggy. A few I've seen have small streaks that has been speculated by some to be caused by the stray cosmic ray.

Where are you seeing the supposed "Thousands of Radiation Damage artifacts on Film recorded and stored on Earth"? Why do you think that is significant when there are many orders of magnitude of pictures taken on Earth compared to Apollo? Again, you have yet to prove there was a radiation issue enough to affect the film.

 Quoting: Spittin'Cesium


How MUCH radiation damages what KIND of film how MUCH?

Are you aware that different speeds of film react differently to ionizing radiation? Do you know it was quite possible even during the days of foil bags and checked luggage to pass exposed film through airport X-rays and not have any noticeable degradation? Are you aware that the film significantly at risk is that which is exposed then stored for long periods undeveloped?

When you say "radiation damages film" you are saying the same as "water kills people." That doesn't mean the glass of water on my table is going to kill me (although it could, given the right chain of circumstances!)

Science is not word pictures. Engineering is not done with adjectives. If you can't quantify, then you are left trying to decide if "Significant" risk is bigger or smaller than "Adequate" protection. Or, worse yet, if "some" degradation of exposed film is equivalent to "I see marks on all the film."


Understands Space within the Solar System is loaded with Ionizing Radiation.
 Quoting: Spittin'Cesium


Loaded is a loaded term. It is emotional, not informative. The surface of the Earth is loaded with radioactive materials (in relation to most other solar system bodies.) Does that mean lumps of pure U235 are lying around loose?


Understands the Moon is a Large Secondary Gamma Source on Earth,second(as a constant)to the Sun.
 Quoting: Spittin'Cesium


Rubber bands are a fine power source for vehicles, second to compressed air. Doesn't mean either are that good. The Sun is a poor source of gamma rays. I'd have to do the numbers, but you'd probably put your film in more danger by laying a banana on top of it.

Yup. Gamma-ray astronomy (astronomers like to hyphenate the term). There is also infrared astronomy, and radio astronomy. Does that mean extra-terrestrial radio sources swamp everything on Earth, making even a simple cell phone call impossible? (Well, yes, it can happen -- space weather as well as local weather can cause significant interference.) But the sources tracked by radio astronomy....well, let us put it this way; is your cell phone antenna a 305-meter dish? (aka Arecibo). Or even a 40-meter dish? (aka Parkes).

Again, knowing that it is out there is nothing like knowing if it is strong enough to, say, harm a piece of film.

Yes, it does. Angular and spatial resolution limits still apply to probes as well. LRO is the only probe with an optic big enough to resolve the landing site equipment, even from orbit.

 Quoting: Spittin'Cesium


You are taking one image you do not understand and make wild assumputions from it. The Moon is not, directly, the gamma ray source. Read the paper from which the image came.

EGRET Detection of Gamma Rays from the Moon

The Energetic Gamma Ray Experiment Telescope (EGRET) on the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory has detected gamma rays from the Moon as it passed through the instrument field of view several times between 1991 and 1994. The average flux, (4.7 +/- 0.7) x 10(-7) ph(>100 MeV)/cm(2) s, and the energy spectrum of the lunar gamma radiation are consistent with a model of gamma ray production by cosmic ray interactions with the lunar surface, and the flux varies as expected with the solar cycle. Although the same processes may occur on the Sun, EGRET does not detect the quiet Sun. The upper limit, 3.0 x 10(-7) ph(>100 MeV)/cm(2) s, does not contradict calculations of the expected solar gamma-ray flux. Thus, in high-energy gamma rays, the Moon is brighter than the quiet Sun.

Cosmic rays interact with the soil and produce gamma rays. Also, the gamma ray flux is rather low.

As posted on another thread...

Look, In order to confirm all this one way or another why not just ask the Chinese who recently surveyed the whole moon?

I had heard a rumour that they had contacted NASA to confirm landing co-ordinates of the Apollo missions because they were having problems locating the landing sites?

Or, why not just turn the Hubble at it?

Dawes' limit. Look it up.

Yes, it does. Angular and spatial resolution limits still apply to probes as well. LRO is the only probe with an optic big enough to resolve the landing site equipment, even from orbit.

IS there any published images from ANY SATELLITE?

The Apollo astronauts did not go from 253F to -243F while they were on the Moon. They were on the surface for only a couple of days. The Sun angle was between 10 and 15 degrees above the horizon. The max temperature for that angle is around 90F, easily handled by the suits.


That's total bullshit right there, dude. Stupid shill bullshit. Tell me what difference the angle of the Sun makes with no atmosphere?

Why do posters like nomuse,astro come to a conspiracy site and defend nasa ? and not only that but spend a hell of a lot of time doing it,years infact ? why do they care if people on a conspiracy site think apollo was fake ? what do they have to gain by spending time here ?

Wouldn't they be better off at jref ?

Thanks to posters like nomuse and other nasa defenders, i'm now convinced more than ever that the moon landings are fake, because their presance here is very strange.

You know, I kind of agree with this.

If they believe they're real and want to share the info as to why to educate others, that's fine.

But they seem to pop up ANYTIME something is raised. The Dutchman especially seems more concerned with dismissing others than trying to offer sincere rebuttals.

The NASA images aren't very definitive are they?

Thought we had spy satellites that can image a stamp from space, and this is the best they can produce in a 250 sqm section?
