I think the implication was that the images were 'touched up' and some of the crosshairs that are on the camera lens were covered over by the adjustment, personally, it sounds like a big pile of monkey poo, but hey

WOW! that website 100% proves it's not a fake...

Here's something that shoes what I mean...

Bad: When the movies of the astronauts walking and driving the lunar rover are doubled in speed, they look just like they were filmed on Earth and slowed down. This is clearly how the movies were faked.

Good: This was the first new bit I have seen from the HBs, and it's funny. To me even when sped up, the images didn't look like they were filmed in Earth's gravity. The astronauts were sidling down a slope, and they looked weird to me, not at all like they would on Earth. I will admit that if wires were used, the astronauts' gait could be simulated.

However, not the rover! If you watch the clip, you will see dust thrown up by the wheels of the rover. The dust goes up in a perfect parabolic arc and falls back down to the surface. Again, the Moon isn't the Earth! If this were filmed on the Earth, which has air, the dust would have billowed up around the wheel and floated over the surface. This clearly does not happen in the video clips; the dust goes up and right back down. It's actually a beautiful demonstration of ballistic flight in a vacuum. Had NASA faked this shot, they would have had to have a whole set (which would have been very large) with all the air removed. We don't have this technology today!

This is another case of selective vision on the part of the HBs.

9 SPACE ODDITIES:

1.  Apollo 14 astronaut Allen Shepard played golf on the Moon. In front of a worldwide TV audience, Mission Control teased him about slicing the ball to the right. Yet a slice is caused by uneven air flow over the ball. The Moon has no atmosphere and no air.

:lol:Irrefutable proof!:lol:

2.  A camera panned upwards to catch Apollo 16's Lunar Landerlifting off the Moon.  Who did the filming?

The Lunar Rover's camera is movable and can be controled by remote from mission control.

3.  One NASA picture from Apollo 11 is looking up at Neil Armstrong about to take his giant step for mankind. The photographer must have been lying on the planet surface. If Armstrong was the first man on the Moon, then who took the shot?

Aldo is right there

4.  The pressure inside a space suit was greater than inside a football. The astronauts should have been puffed out like the Michelin Man, but were seen freely bending their joints.

I'm almost certain he's wrong about the internal pressure in a space suit. If I recall correctly it was lower than sea level. And air doesn't have much mass. So unlike the body's internal fluids, it can't really exert that much force(He/she must have been watching way too many scifi movies). Methinks the suit can take it.

5.  The Moon landings took place during the Cold War. Why didn't America make a signal on the moon that could be seen from earth? The PR would have been phenomenal and it could have been easily done with magnesium flares.

Um, would a transmission from the moon to the earth count? There is no air on the Moon, so how can you burn magnesium?

6.  Text from pictures in the article said that only two men walked on the Moon during the Apollo 12 mission. Yet the astronaut reflected in the visor has no camera. Who took the shot?

It may have been the astronought was taking a picture of himself and the reflection of the camera was out of the view.

7.  The flags shadow goes behind the rock so doesn't match the dark line in the foreground, which looks like a line cord. So the shadow to the lower right of the spaceman must be the flag. Where is his shadow? And why is the flag fluttering if there is no air or wind on the moon?

Did he ever bother to notice how stiff the flag looked and realized the flag had been fixed in position?

8.  How can the flag be brightly lit when its side is to the light? And where, in all of these shots, are the stars?

Q1. It looks to me like the flag has been rotated so the light is striking the flag.
Q2: Ether because the sun blotted it out, or the stars were removed.

9.  The Lander weighed 17 tons yet the astronauts feet seem to have made a bigger dent in the dust. The powerful booster rocket at the base of the Lunar Lander was fired to slow descent to the moons service. Yet it has left no traces of blasting on the dust underneath. It should have created a small crater, yet the booster looks like it's never been fired.

You can't see under neath the lander. Besides, the descent engine wasn't that powerful.

And if there was wind, why is there no dust moving in the videos?

Umm, a slice is cause by you hitting the ball with the right side of your club head instead of in the center, it has barely anything to do with the wind.

Once in Popular Mechanics there was a letter to the editor saying that the moon landings were fake. The editor's response was "You're right. And did you also know that the Earth is flat and the center of the universe."

What always makes me laugh is why the Hoax Believers think the Russians kept quiet. Once you get to that you start hearing some really crazy stuff

1 : He is moving really slooooowly when he is moving down the ladder, like he is in low gravity, then he jumps off the ladder and :thud: down he goes under gravity.

That's. So. Funny.

Meh. Conspiracy theories, there's nothing to 'em. "Do not call conspiracy everything they call conspiracy..."

Just so ya know theres nothing actually about reptilian overlords on the page as far as I can see, just bog standard conspiracy ****.

[ARothers]

I believed the moon landing to be faked until I watched a TV program about the moon landings.  Apart from the photos the conspiracy people said that the astronauts wouldn't be able to survive the Van Allen belts.  But they only enjoyed a few hours in the belts and Van Allen who is still alive says that stories about killer radiation in the 'belts are entertaining but perposterius'.  And you would need to have stayed there for about a month before you get radiation sickness/

[Flipside]

Well, the Van Allen belts are created by an enormous magnet, called Earth, which I'm sitting on right now When dealing with Nuclear weapons etc, you are dealing with all kinds of radioactive isotopes, they are created more of less at random. That's why you need such thick protection. The Van Allen belts are a lot more predictable afaik, so you can be a lot more specific and efficient with your protection equipment

Do you think it is or isn't? why?

If it is, nice.
If it isn't, its just another chapter of normal political BS (TM).
I won't be sad.

[Black Wolf]

Did anybody at all see the "Moon Landings Were Faked" April Fools documentary? They had Donald Rumsfeld and a few other white housers on there - it was serious for the first half, well put together/thought out then it started getting gradually crazier and crazier (and funnier and funnier). Twas awesome
