Moon Landing hoax? Debunking the Debunkers? | |
BeSkeptical User ID: 46420627 ![]() 12/03/2019 07:01 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Look at how many astronauts died, immediately prior to the Apollo Program. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 47752129 Look at how many didn't die once Richard Nixon took over: none! Richard Nixon prioritized politics above all else, including truth. Nixon, and NASA, simply could not afford to risk any further deaths in the space program, for fear that Nixon would lose re-election and NASA would lose funding from Congress. The perfect answer was to sell a simulation as the real thing. Last Edited by BeSkeptical on 12/03/2019 07:02 AM |

The “moon hoax” story is completely false and debunked over and over with minimal research. We landed men on the moon. You can see their footprints from satellites. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77732153 I know you have a lot invested emotionally in the idea of the hoax, and I know you really want it to be true. It’s hard to admit you have been wrong all this time, but deep down you know you are wrong. Man up and let it go. Hehe, "see footprints from satellites." No, you cant. The fake history of using laser-beam as evidence, with recflections from an alleged reflector placed there is of course something many believes. They dont know that a laserbeam will hit the moon as a circle of 6 km size. And a tiny tiny fragment of that light is what must reflect back to earth and make another huge cirle.

However, the Soviets placed their reflector on the Moon using an unmanned lander, so having a reflector on the Moon does not mean that it was hand delivered by astronauts. |

The reflectors "used" is of a type reflecting back from where it came, without need to have exectly 90 degr angle on the beam. The reflectors function is to prove something is placed on the moon, but its not there. Just intelligent fantasy, because most people buys whatever says on TV, especially when its supplied by fake photos in books and movies. |

Challenger Deep specifically instead of the deepest depths of the ocean. Then notice a CRUCIAL second fact, that somehow you missed. Those things WERE repeated. The Apollo Program has NOT been repeated, 50 years and counting. So yeah, it took a while for it to be replicated, but it happened. So when will Apollo be replicated? (and 'when there is the political will' is not an answer) You make it sound like the technology exists, it is just expensive. Then tell me, what heavy lifter rocket will they use (if it was 'politically expedient' to go TODAY)? The 'we could go if we wanted' argument is so ridiculous. It is not even worth responding to, but it gets used so often by Apollo Diehards. Saying that people don't believe in the veracity of the Apollo Program aren't 'rational adults', again, is not an argument. Not worth responding to. You always talk about 'all the Apollo evidence', and yet you never mention or produce any of it. What is this evidence? Lunar meteorites? Videos and photos from the lunar surface? As for the Russians, you must not be aware that they CONSTANTLY joke about Apollo having been a hoax. Can they PROVE it? No, probably not, so all they can do is raise awareness of the missions' discrepancies, same as we are doing. Consider how quickly NASA went from sending unmanned probes (that didn't have to return to Earth or re-enter the atmosphere safely) to sending astronauts. And yet NO OTHER country has been able to replicate it, even though they too have successfully sent unmanned probes? OK bro.... ![]() ![]() ![]() |

BeSkeptical User ID: 46420627 ![]() 12/03/2019 07:37 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | First successful expedition to the South Pole in 1911. Quoting: Halcyon Dayz, FCD Second successful expedition (using aircraft) to the South Pole in 1956, 47 years later. False. Robert Scott reached the South Pole shortly after Amundsen. Scott died on the return trip. False. The account of the Trieste dive makes no sense (e.g., seeing sole and flounder swimming at a depth of 35,000 feet) and is clearly spurious. The very fact that the Trieste never repeated the dive, but was instead quickly scrapped, suggests a hoax. Since NASA has already proven that the send men to the surface of the Moon Quoting: Halcyon Dayz, FCD Circular "logic"--i.e., idiocy. Extraordinary claims require an extraordinary level of evidence (i.e., proof); and NASA's claim to have sent men to the Moon and back (six times!) is by far the most extraordinary claim in the history of science. Only the most overwhelming and obvious proof is acceptable in such a matter. It also raises the question that since the Soviet Union doesn't even exist anymore and practically anybody who would have been involved is dead WHY would they keep it a secret? Quoting: Halcyon Dayz, FCD After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the government of Boris Yeltsin briefly attempted to bring up the subject of the "Moon landing" hoax, but was quickly shushed by all sides, for the obvious reason: At that point, truth was not in anyone's self-interest. Yeltsin was trying to make friends, not enemies. Putin may yet reveal the truth, but right now he prefers to use all such secrets as blackmail instead--just as the Soviet Union did. Besides, Putin himself may not have sufficent evidence to prove the hoax. Ironically, both polarized halves of our nation would believe the American government over the Russian: Trump supporters would believe Trump, and anti-Trumpers would disbelieve Putin. It means that tere are retroflectors on the surface of the Moon exactly where NASA said the put them. Quoting: Halcyon Dayz, FCD False. In the 1990s, researchers asked NASA for exact coordinates of all the "landings" on the Moon. To their surprise, NASA didn't have them! NASA, by its own admission, had not bothered to record exactly where their craft landed! NASA eventually used backward logic, telling the researchers that wherever they observed a "reflector" (artificial or natural), that must be an Apollo site.

Maybe certain factions of the Military Industrial Complex have been to the Moon many times, but they just don't bother to inform the taxpayers, and continue to sell outdated jet and rocket technology to keep the money pouring in? yeah I don't buy into that secret space program stuff, no evidence, and besides that, it has been mil strategy for thousands of years to convince your enemies that you have more crazy magic spectacular weapons etc, it scares your enemy. Usually the simplest explanation is the right one. And in this case, that wasn't jumping from failed rocket launches and lemons to a half million mile, slingshotting , flawless cowboy moon romp I think that a good case for some kind of secret space program can be made, but not the Corey Goode fantasies. Apollo, with its rocket technology, is dubious, but that does not mean that there is not a different type of more reliable technology available to the MIC. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 47752129 ![]() 12/04/2019 04:02 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It is one thing to calculate how much thrust an engine has to deliver, and another thing entirely to develop such an engine. And that can do it as sea level as well as in a vacuum/thin upper atmosphere! Same thing with fuel. It is one thing to say "we have to deliver X units of fuel to the engine per second" and another thing to design a MASSIVE TANK that will deliver that fuel DOWN TO THE MILLIMETRE and MILLISECOND. The Saturn rockets actually had this problem, the fuel would surge (on the millisecond scale) but this would result in uneven thrust, inducing vibrations into the rocket, and for the astronauts it was said to have felt akin to a 'atomic powered Pogo stick', hence the name for the phenomenon, POGO oscillations. |

They used kerosene for fuel in the first stage and the incomplete combustion put on a hell of a show for the cameras. The engines that powered it never reached their full design potential because they didn't have computer technology advanced enough to control them and the vibrations shook anything attached to them apart. In the end the obstacle was not the machinery to reach and return to the moon itself, but the inability to keep anything alive on such a trip. the Apollo spacecraft was totally incapable of such a feat, astronauts would have died shortly after the trans lunar injection burn. The Russians laugh at us for believing it, btw, I likened it to the legend of Davy Crockett killing a bear bare handed when he was five, when we know the real story of Davy Crockett turned out to be one of defeat and ultimately shame. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78188826 It had been proved using strict adherence to scientific protocol and NASA's own provided data that the Lem ascent stage could not have reached the necessary velocity orbital velocity to rendezvous with the orbiting command/service module as early as 1971. the diameter of those spherical tanks[very easy to calculate the volume of a sphere] changed three times in the past 45 years to dimensions that were provably impossible. All of the video and photographs can be picked apart and are easily discernible as faked composites, the kids these days will tell you it is "photo shopped" because they are used to seeing and critically analyzing much more sophisticated versions of the same techniques. |

Just another claim you can't ever hope proving. ![]() I know what the AVAILABLE evidence is, and it doesn't prove NASA landed men on the Moon! That is why I am asking you for the evidence that DOES prove it. Notice how Halcyon wants to talk about anything EXCEPT NASA and Apollo? Ad hominems, sure. Talk about how going back to the Moon is easy but expensive, unimportant but Mankind's greatest ever accomplishment! Did you mention which HEAVY LIFT rocket would be used, if a manned mission to the Moon was launched today? No. Of course you didn't. Apollo was a psy-op, a distraction, in the midst of not only the Space Race, and the Cold War, but ALSO the Vietnam War! They usually told people about atrocities committed by the military a week or two before Apollo missions! Same as with closing the Gold Window! Happened right after Apollo 15! Will Halcyon Dayz ever tell you something interesting like that? Nope. Was putting a man on the Moon Mankind's greatest ever accomplishment, in your book, Halcyon Dayz, yes or no? There is all kinds of evidence provided by NASA that "proves" the moon landing was real, the only problem is none of it actually does. Every individual piece of evidence can be explained logically without the need of an actually manned landing on the moon. When you have bet, betting on "unlikely" or "very difficult" over impossible is always a winner |
