splumer Rather than refuting the "evidence" that they claim prove that the Moon landings were hoaxes, I would just ask you: if this "evidence" is so obvious, don't you think NASA would have figured these issues out? This "documentary" doesn't even allow NASA to rebut all these arguments; they have one spokesperson, who seems like he was blindsided by these questions. They have the dude who designed the cameras for Hasselblad that were used on the Moon missions, but they ask him space questions, not photography questions. So much for actual experts.My biggest single beef, though, is the Bill Kaysing. They present him as "an engineer who worked on the space program," yet by his own admission (in his book) he is neither an engineer nor a scientist. He's hardly one to say NASA "couldn't" have gotten to the Moon.In short, this is a deceptive, dishonest piece of garbage that, rather than examining legitimate questions (such as surviving the Van Allen belts) and getting actual answers from actual scientists, they present conspiracy kooks. Please don't waste your time watching this. I regret watching even a minute of this.

Maurya Pydah 1. Crosshairs on some photos appear to be behind objects, rather than in front of them where they should be, as if the photos were altered.* In photography, the light white color (the object behind the crosshair) makes the black object (the crosshair) invisible due to saturation effects in the film emulsion. 2. The quality of the photographs is implausibly high.* NASA selected only the best photographs for release to the public, and some of the photos were cropped to improve their composition. There are many badly exposed, badly focused and poorly composed images amongst the thousands of photos that were taken by the Apollo Astronauts. Many can be seen at the Apollo Lunar Surface Journal. Photos were taken on high-quality Hasselblad cameras with Zeiss lenses, using 70 mm medium format film.3. There are no stars in any of the photos, and astronauts never report seeing any stars from the capsule windows.* There are also no stars seen in Space Shuttle, Mir, International Space Station and Earth observation photos. Cameras used for imaging these things are set for quick shutter speeds in order to prevent overexposing the film for the brightly lit daylight scenes. The dim light of the stars simply does not have a chance to expose the film.* Believers in the hoax theory contend that the stars were removed from the photographs because they would have looked identical to the stars as seen from the Earth, i.e. no parallax view. However, the distance from the Earth to the Moon is very small compared to the distance to the stars, so no parallax would have been visible anyway. (The nearest star is over 100,000,000 times farther away than the Moon, and most stars are much farther away than that.)4. The color and angle of shadows and light.* Shadows on the Moon are complicated because there are several light sources; the Sun, Earth and the Moon itself. Light from these sources is scattered by lunar dust in many different directions, including into shadows. Additionally, the Moon's surface is not flat and shadows falling into craters and hills appear longer, shorter and distorted from the simple expectations of the hoax believers. More significantly, perspective comes into play. This effect leads to non-parallel shadows even on objects which are extremely close to each other, and can be observed easily on Earth wherever fences or trees are found. (Plait 2002:167-72).5. Identical backgrounds in photos that are listed as taken miles apart.* Detailed comparison of the backgrounds claimed to be identical in fact show significant changes in the relative positions of the hills that are consistent with the claimed locations that the images were taken from. Parallax effects clearly demonstrate that the images were taken from widely different locations around the landing sites. Claims that the appearance of the background is identical while the foreground changes (for example, from a boulder strewn crater to the Lunar Module) are trivially explained when the images were taken from nearby locations, akin to seeing distant mountains appearing the same on Earth from locations that are hundreds of feet apart showing different foreground items. Furthermore, as there is no atmosphere on the Moon, very distant objects will appear clearer and closer to the human eye. What appears as nearby hills in some photographs, are actually mountains several kilometers high and some 10-20 kilometers away.6. The number of photographs taken is implausibly high. When the total number of official photographs taken during EVA of all Apollo missions is divided by the total amount of time of all EVAs, one arrives at 1.19 photos per minute. That is one photo per 50 seconds. Discounting time spent on other activities results in one photo per 15 seconds for Apollo 11. * The astronauts were well trained before the mission in the use of photographic equipment. Since there were no weather effects to contend with and the bright sunlight scenes permitted the use of small apertures with consequent large depth of field, the equipment was generally kept at a single setting for the duration of the mission. All that was required of the astronauts was to open the shutter and wind the film to take a picture.

Conrad_QS Finally, someone saw the problems from that hoax. And show us the facts only. The answer from spatial agency? Not only in the documentary, but in general was a big denial with no explanations. You are not convinced? Watch the documentary! You will not regret that! Another thing: they said that one ship was sent to scan the moon surface. That ship, search over the internet to convince yourself, has disappeared with no reason. Another coincidence? I think not. Just watch the movie and tell me if i am wrong! And tell other people, to inform what "great" job was done and how a full world was foolish with that hoax. The people who put a rating of 1 are, i'm almost sure, influenced by "you know who"... but that is less important. WATCH THE MOVIE, IF YOU CAN STILL FIND IT!

Turambar-3 I rank the makers of this movie right down there with the people who allege that the holocaust is all a big hoax. Garbage like this relies on the ignorance of its viewers to convince them of something that is so patently and hideously false that one wonders from what kind of acute character disorder the makers are afflicted. Tens of thousands of people worked on the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo programs, several thousand worked in the immediate vicinity of the launch stands at Kennedy Space Center, and at least a hundred worked in the launch control complex monitoring the telemetry as it came in from Apollo. So many people dedicated their entire lives to making these achievements take place that those who have never achieved anything other to tear down the work of others might indeed see the Apollo Program as a target. Nonetheless it's one thing to imagine that it might happen, and another thing entirely to see it actually take place.There are those who would argue that good journalism sometimes present controversial points of view. But unbalanced journalism, based on a deliberate misunderstanding of logic and science, serves no purpose other than to create confusion and distrust.There remains one question for the criminal idiots who made this film. At what point did the conspiracy take place? It's easily provable that the rockets themselves went to the Moon and back. Several hundred people watched the astronauts walk to the gantry and get in the elevator. From down below the launch gantry one can watch people get into the spacecraft. There is only one elevator. So if people in spacesuits got into giant rockets that then themselves went to the Moon and performed their mission in a very visible way, at what point would these conspirators have gotten out? At what point did this conspiracy with thousands of members manage to pluck those would-be actors (never mind that not a one of them would consent to do it) out of the spacecraft and bring them back home to a sound stage?It stands as testimony to the achievements of those who worked so hard and so long to put mankind on the Moon that there are some who see those hard fought goals as unachievable. One would hope instead that a completely different message might be taken from our few short trips to the Moon, that humanity in concert can achieve huge and wonderful things, and that those who, in their smallness, might only rise by making others fall can never compare to those who would work hard to educate themselves and combine their talents for something great.I can only pray that if I am some day able to help achieve something great, some tiny-minded idiot will not immediately claim we didn't do it and, in so doing, feel somehow superior.
