I need a decent picture!!

 
OK I was watching this programme last night, about the moon landing being fake. It was really good!

I think this would be an excellent topic for lively debate!

I personally dont believe man has ever been on the moon, due to the facts on the offical pictures light is clearly coming from unnatural sources, the US flag is flying, there is no blast crater on offical pictures and the pod would not have survived the radiation, and mainly because the US government and NASA are bid secretive b*st*rds!

I sooooo love conspirasy theories!

ooh, lovely jubbly, I personally think that we have gone to the moon, I've not researched the topic yet, so this is just off the top of my head, the American flag on the moon is actually made of Aluminium (Aluminum to them ) so it is constantly stiff and stuck out as if it was flying.

You mean the Lunar Lander pod? well people weren't in that except when they were on the moon itself, and it is suprising how little material you need to block a significant amount of radiation, think of Astronauts space suits. and the space station Mir only had a very small radiation sheild too.

yes the light is from unnatural sources, they took spotlights with them, infact on one of the missions they ruined a camera by pointing it at one of the spotlights.

the moons gravity is only 1/6th of the earths, so you wouldn't need much thrust to lift off, so it wouoldn't produce much of a 'blast crater' anyways

but hey, i'll look into it.

like lights on the eagle lunar pod maybe? or some form of flash photograpgy(though i doubt they would use flashes in space since light is eual and does not deteriorate over distance since the atmosphear is too thin to have a serious affect on it


they would use flashes, and lights in space, light still follows the inverse square law in space, i.e it does deteriorate over distance. I'm ot 100% positive, but I think the moons atmosphere is only detectable a few inces above the surface. but hey

Good points. I'm gonna move this to the rants board, I think that would be a good place to put debating stuff, you reckon? mite give the rants board a name change too, if it confuses people.

so how is the sun still incredibly intense in all the pics taken at the edge of the solar system it isnt that strong so surely all you would see is a weak glow instead of a tiny angry pinprick


OMG don't turn into dumb dave and try and disprove the laws of physics to me, if you double the distance, you get a quater of the light, it is true with all light, that is why stars from further away are generally dimmer, of course if a particular star is brighter, it could be because a) it is more luminous or b) it is closer to us.

though loony the flag does not look aluminium to me in this shot(see the ripples and such?)


yeah, it was made with ripples in it, to simulate it flying.

Your right about the NASA star theory.

I mean the NASA star theory, the official one, it's right about it nigh on impossible to photograph something dark from somewhere light.

yeah your right i was just putting an arguement across(believe me when your this tired EVERYTHING makes sense, but you know that already he he


okay. hehe, I kinda know what you mean.

yeah I agreee, pretty much general knowledge too,b ut you'd be suprised at the number of people who don't realise it until it is pointed out.

Are you sure the flag was made of metal? as I've seen hoax sites and anti hoax sites and none of those had mentioned it. One anti hoax site said it was flying because it had just been unfurled or something like that!

I just want someone else to go up to the moon to either prove or disprove it once and for all!!

I dont know what to believe on this subject in all honesty!! I think some aspects of the landing were suspect! The main reason I believe they may have landed on the moon is that it'd be silly to fake it as someones going to discover they lied sooner or later!
hmmm but NASA should be treated with suspicion as its annoying the way they deny everything if they were more open ppl wouldnt be so quick to disbelieve!

As someone else pointed out above, The APollo 13 mission onwards was probably true so they could have put the USA flag up there at any time...so it would be hard to prove they hadnt cause the flag be there.....

why do you disbelieve the Apollo 11 stuff, but think that Apollo 13 onwards was real? just wondering.

not 100% now you've posted a counter argument, I'm just going off the top of me head here, it's possilble that I'm wrong, but on stuff regarding space etc, I know my stuff. meh, I'll have a look around, see what I can find about it being made of metal.

hahahahahaha sorry but this is hilarious, there are MANY things nasa hides from us, you wouldnt believe but they are also VERY open about everything else too

but yeah some of the stuff they dont tell us they have good reason not to, imagine for example they told us that the meteor that is thought to b heading towards earth was 20 years closer than it is now, they wouldnt tell you till the last possible minute or until all the plans they had come up with failed with no hope of stopping it, whuy you ask? because otherwise the world would become chaos people would be doing things that they normally wouldnt because they no longar have anything to fear, there would be widespread panic and disorder, believe me sometimes its good that they are so secretive


But I for one would rather know if my death was going to be soon!

and Loony I think the flag was a vertical pole with a horizontal pole going off so I read on one site, buit lots of sites say different things so can get confusing!

Nobody's yet mentioned that if you speed up the video tape, it looks like men running in Earth's gravity, and also, how come there's already a camera waiting for them on the moon, and shadows go in numerous directions?
