Whilst I'm here I would like to dispel three incorrect conspiracy theories:

Q1. Why are the shadows in the photographs not parallel? A. Because the ground is not flat!

Q2. Why didn't the electronics and astronauts not burn to a crisp outside the Van Allen Belt? Because the solar/interstellar radiation is many orders of magnitude too weak. Sky TV satellites are 36,000km away (well outside the belts) and are not significantly affected by radiation.

Q3. Why are no stars visible on the photographs? Sensitivity range. Try turning up the brightness button on your TV and watch less bright things disappear. Also, try turning the brightness down and watch less bright things disappear!

If hubble (the most powerful optical instrument ever) doesn't have the resolution to see something the size of a small car at lunar distances, what chance does a LASER have of hitting a reflective cube 1 foot by 1 foot? What chance does an Earth (satellite?) based detector have of receiving a reflected signal?

pvb,
The Radio Ham stories were carried by all of the papers in 1969, including the subsequent retractions. Unfortunately, I don't have any copies of 36 year old newspapers to hand! Try the internet if it concerns you that much?

The buggy is an interesting concept. The designer went on to advertise Audi's in the 1990's as "made from Aluminum (sic)". However, no-one can be found who was involved with designing the stowage space for the buggy. In fact, the landing modules are about the size of a small car themselves (excluding the rocket engine section used during landing) and did not have anywhere near enough space to store a buggy!

The best one of all is that hundreds of tonnes of highly explosive fuel is required to lift off the Earth but a tiny rocket engine with a couple of gallons can lift of the moon and into lunar orbit! I appreciate that the moon's gravity is less than a fifth that of the earth and the escape velocity follows a square-law but the difference between what was required to leave the Earth and what was allegedly required to leave the moon stretches belief way beyond sensible limits. Also, that Neil Armstrong can talk to NASA in a calm and quiet voice whilst taking off from the moon's surface with a 10,000HP rocket engine 3 inches under his ass! In practice, it would be like standing a few feet away from Concorde taking off.

I still want to know who positioned the camera which shows Neil Armstrong jumping down the Eagle's stairs for the first time and why wasn't he accredited with the First Man on the Moon honour?

fibbinarchi:
1. your name is spelt incorrectly.

Why's that?
I had assumed the name was a poke at Geoffery Archer and nothing to do with the golden ratio. Am I mistaken ct98?

Lord vold

Quite simply to win the space race during the cold war. It was a flexing muscles thing between the US and USSR. The US are still flexing their muscles as we speak as they continue with their Arabian world tour.

LOL !

Doe's it matter? Look at the technology that came from the project!

fibbinarchi,

"Remember, you will never be me, LOL !"

Thank heaven for small mercies!

[fibbinarchi] 12/11/2005 20:13

Look at the technology that came from Star Trek.

Yup, you have finally got it pvb, better late than never! Remember, you will never be me, LOL !

[pvb] 12/11/2005 20:02

fibbinarchi,

"OK brains, point the Hubble at the moon and lets see the buggy and flag."

So, leaving aside StewJames' point, you are one of those who haven't followed the link at the head of this thread that shows Hubble hasn't the resolving power to detect the remains of the LEM? This being the point made by XenaWarriorPrincess.

Oh well! Its's obviously another CONSPIRACY (LOL!). Hubble was ever so carefully designed so as to NOT have the resolving power to uncover the CONSPIRACY. Clearly another CONSPIRACY (LOL!).

STEW..I THINK ITS TIME YOU PACKED YOUR BAGS AND GOT BEHIND THAT MONSTROUS WALL..YOU OBVIOUSLY HAVE A CLOSED MIND AND SOMETHING TO HIDE LIKE THE REST OF THE ZIONIST PILLOCKS

always 1st,

Just as a matter of passing interest, are there actually ANY non Jews in your part of the Universe?

"..the Army is there for the people who haven't the ability to think for themselves (the low IQ'd)."


Funny you mention the army as I couldn't get in Fibbinarchi, as I couldn't complete the application form."

I rest my case, LOL.
"

Goodness! What a CLEVER forger you are fibbinarchi! Why we've all been taken in by this. Everyone on this board can see what a fool I've made of myself - courtesy of your good self!

Heavens to Betsy! Where would we all be without your astute and unflagging vigilance! (LOL!)
