Forgot about this thread. Here
read this which proves we didn't land on the moon and if you still believe the lie then answer these questions at the bottom of the page:
Sure pal, here ya go.
Bottom line, these accusations made are silly. I'd love to see how a *really* smart person could shred them instead of the mere flogging I'm giving them here.

1. Already answered.
2. Reduced atmospheric pressure (like in the Apollo spacecraft) also reduces the partial pressures of the gasses in the mix.
3. There was no atmosphere for the LM descent stage motor to displace, therefore, the blast effect of the engine was contained to the immediate area of the nozzle since the exhaust gasses dissipated rapidly into the vacuum.
4. All spacecraft carried their own oxidizer for their fuels. By extension of the logic employed by this question, all scuba divers should suffocate.
5. Footprints are caused by a foot compressing the soil under them. Unless some other influence comes along later, the soil remains undisturbed.
6. The Apollo 11 images were broadcast by a last minute hacked together "Scan converter" consisting of a CRT that displayed the slow scan TV transmitted by the Apollo hardware, couples with a standard TV camera, all housed in a flat black box. This was a last minute project for 11, and they came up with better scan conversion technology for subsequent missions. The gentleman that came up with the innovative solution is still in the scan converter business.
7. Provide an image to illustrate this. I may or not be able to provide an answer from my personal knowledge, but someone will either be able to answer, or call "BS" on the "fact" you present.
8. See 7.
9. Maybe the guys that put the face on mars had a bad day.
10. Are you referring to the recovery beacon antenna that was deployed after reentry to assist in locating the spacecraft? Yep, sure are.
11. The shadowed side of the craft is much colder than the sunny side, and material contucts heat. The bulk of the craft itself acted in part like a heat sink for the sunward side. The movie portrayed much in a fairly accurate light, but was dramatized. They also didn't have modular phone jphone acks during the Apollo era, yet the phone used by Ken Mattingly (Gary Sinese) had modular plugs on the handset. Bottom line, don't use a movie as a reference for historical fact.
12. The LM had been used in earth and lunar orbital operations. The LM landing gear had been tested on earth with apporiate test weight. NASA was unable to build a test moon in their lab due to size constraints.
13. They didn't try jumping that high. Think about what would happen to a persons center of gravity with a PLSS backpack with o2 tanks, CO2 scrubbers, refrigeration system, and batteries all strapped to their back. would YOU want to wind up like a turtle on your back a quarter of a million miles from home? Didn't think so.
14. See 13.
15. So you're saying golf carts are a conspiracy also? They're more narrow than small cars! The rover was designed with a low center of gravity, just like a sports car that can pull right at 1 lateral G on a skid pad.
16. Please provide information on these lethal solar flares that occurred during the missions. What? There weren't any?
17. Call Jaques Costeau! Apparently his dry suits are zeee impossible'!
18. Seams were designed to have the limbs "pre-bent" to some degree. Apollo lunar suits weren't pressurized to 5.2 PSI, but between 3.6 to 3.9 PSI.
19. Your buddy didn't measure real flight hardware, he measured a replica. Have him take his tape measure to KSC, the Smithsonian, the Cradle of Aviation Museum, or perhaps the Franklin Institute to measure actual LM parts.
20. Please provide a description of the physics involved here.
21. Perhaps it's still moving? Remember that this was a long thin pole and a support bar for the flag. There's gonna be some "sproinging" (Yeah, that's as accurate a term as the bogus claims you're making.)
22. Wide angle lens, and a camera man able to anticipate when the event would happen becuase they did what? Counted down? Oh yeah, counted down. Not sure why you're quoting Grissom here, the Block II craft were radically different from the Block I craft.
23. Ask him.
24. So you say. Provide proof.
25. Several hours? The speed of the spacecraft after the TLI burn was close to 25,000 MPH, and the same on the return leg when passing through the Van Allen Belt. This works out to about 1.5 hours of exposure while shielded in the craft.
26. The crew rotation was not set in stone, so there's no guarantee that the Apollo 1 crew would be in rotation when all prerequisite flight goals had been achieved for landing. See previous comment about Block II craft compared to Block I, and shame on you for continuing to bring the dead forth as "proof".
27, OK fine. how about we go through them at the speeds needed to reach the freakin' moon instead of lollygag in orbit in the belts? Seemed to work just fine last time. Please cite the CNN astrophysists that stated this.
28. Yeah. So? The LM Computer also crapped out on the Apollo 11 flight, Armstrong landed manually. Besides, the computers on the ground were big enough to calculate just when the ascent module should launch for optimum LOR. Good thing they had those radio things and good timekeeping, huh?
29. You mean like those laser retroreflectors deployed by 11, 14, and 15 that are actually reflecting lasers pointed at the moon back at the earth?

30. The technology existed in 2005. They don't warehouse it as an off the shelf manned moon project though. Some assembly required.
31. Some films also show Apollo astronauts living in improvised shelters made of old ponchos and sticks. Does this mean that NASA put homeless people in spacecraft?
32. Clerical fuckup and a damn shame.
33. Show me some before and after pics as proof? Thanks.
