Hello!

Everybody knows the myth about the landing of the USA on the moon; did it really happen or not?

What are your thoughts about it?

And what do you think of this: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7913514132856020129&q=moon+landing 

Best wishes, Jake

We've already had a thread like this at the Topic of the moment forum.
But anyway, I think the landing of the USA on the moon was a fake. They have pointed out so many strange things about the photos (e.g the US flag...). I don't know what it is for but it's unacceptable.

Well, I did not see a tread.

Why exactly do you think the landing was a fake?

OK, have a look at this. I got it from a website, but i don't remember its name.

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.

2.One NASA picture from Apollo 11 is focusing on Neil Armstrong when he was about to take his giant step for the 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?

3.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.

4.Only two men walked on the Moon during the Apollo12 mission.Yet the astronaut reflected in the visor has no camera.Who took the shot?

5.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?

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

Well, maybe the firts human being on the moon was a woman.....heh heh.....i know, it was a bad oneStick out tongue [:P]
But on a serious note, i have always thought that the picture was taken by a machine. But im not saying that i believe that they were on the moon, on the contrary, the pictures are too dubious. All the shadows and those things like you said. Accordingly, i believe that the moon is still waiting for someone to visit there.

Yeah,  the pictures might be taken from a machine but there's still too many odd things about them, right?
Maybe i'll visit the moon one day and tell you the truth. heh heh  just joking...Big Smile [:D]

Hi, I can't give you answers to all of these 'questions' without deep research. But for now, I can tell you a little.

And why is the flag fluttering if there is no air or wind on the moon?

OK, this is because the flag is hold by a plastic thing that keeps it as a recktangle. Now, the flag is moving because that frame is still moving. It's bouncing. That is really hard to explain for me. (Some American help me!!) But I'm sure you know what I mean, if not tell me and I'll try again.

Then, you don't see any stars because the cameras used were too old and could therefore not capture that much light. Just try to take a picture with an old camera from the sky at night.

That's for now.

But there is a simple evidence that proof the landing on the moon. There are many different places that shoot every second lasers to the moon which get reflected and send back to the earth. They use this for making calculations. The 'mirror' or whatever it is must have been built, by humans; the Americans that landed on the moon. This is so simple evidence. There is no other way that could have been built.

If the flag was in a frame, it meant that it had a fixed position, how could it be fluttering? Did it mean that the frame was fluttering too? It's just impossible!

To Swiss Jake: could you explain me who took the photo of the first step on the moon (made by Neil Armstrong),if the first man on the moon was Neil Armstrong? Hmm [^o)]

Thanks. Smile [:)]
