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.

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

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?

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.

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.

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?

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?

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?

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.

 

A pod or something with a camera was left behind, and that took the pictures.

 

here's someone elses reasoning.

1) No golf ball is perfectly weighted. A spinning sphere with uneven weight distribution on the axis of rotation will follow an arc. Much like a slice.

2) Robotic camera controlled from Houston.

3) The camera was mounted to the lower portion of the Eagle's leg near the foot. It was put there to view the door and check its status visually.

4) It is not the internal pressure but the resistance of the material that causes inability to bend. The suits are designed to bend. Blow up a long skinny ballon and then bend it. NP. Either way, you apparently didn't see the astronauts falling all over the damn place in their bulky suits footage lol. Funny stuff.

5) They did. They left a huge tin foil covered lander base and rover and lots of other neat stuff for those with a powerfull enough telescope. Flares would have been a very expensive flop. You'd need a shitload oF magnesium to see it from here.

6) Helmet mount???

7) The line is part of an aiming recticle system. You'll notice similar vertical lines intersecting at right angles forming a crosshairs pattern.

8) The Sea of Tranquility is located on the near side of the moon in the upper hemisphere western quadrant of the moon's surface. It recieves light from the sun at an angle and depending on the angle the location they landed could recieve light near to 90 degrees from the sun depending on the lunar phase.

9) The landing was violent and the large engine was used less than you think. The lander weighed significantly less in the lunar gravity. It has HUGE feet and long legs that extended down a long way with large shock absorbing capability. The blast radius would have been less pronounced due to the fact that there was no atmosphere to disturb so effect fromt he engine blast would have been localized. The surface was several inches of dust over rock.

 

I saw a TV show on whether or not they really did land on the moon. I heard that it's impossible to send any living object out of the Van Allen radiation belts because the radiation was too strong. There were a lot of other arguments and now I strongly believe that we DIDN'T ever land on the moon.

 

The moon has an atmosphere; it is just very thin in comparison to the Earth's atmosphere. There is wind on the moon. Did you think that the moon's gravitational forces keep solid matter together, but beyond the surface, there is nothing?

 

1) Simple he hit poorly

2) Remote controlled from Houston, worked hard to get the timing right to compensate for the radio delay.

3) There was a camera mounted on a moving platform that came out of the side of the lander to capture the moment, Armstrong pulled a lever as he was leaving the module.

4) NASA had been making suits a long time, they know how to make the bend.

5) Lot's of stuff left there to see

6) The cameras were mounded to their suits, over their chest.

7) The flag had a stiff guide at the top to hold it up, not fluttering just wrinkles

8) The lighting looks the same on the astronaut to me

9) Lots of dust was blown away during the landing. This was easily visible when you watched on TV.

Get "From the Earth to the Moon", an HBO mini-series by Tom Hanks now available on DVD. It will show you all of these things and how they were handled with slide rules and rudimentary computers. IMO one of the best series out there telling the story of these times in American History. Sort of finishes where the movie "The Right Stuff" left off.

 

I saw that show on TV as well. I don't think it really happened. To many questions unanswered. The "remote control camera" directed by Houston could not have kept up with the take off. I would think that the signal would be delayed due to the extreme distance and by the time they instructed the camera to move, the take off would have already happened. No facts here, just my thoughts.

 

i have my doubts as to if it happened or not... im a union boilermaker and my specialty is disassembling nuclear reactors.. in such i get a lot of radiation training... i know the affects of radiation... the kind of radiation that one would be introduced to on the moon would kill a person within days... and if not it would drastically shorten their lives... after you get into an 8 REM/Hr field of radiation the molecular structure of your blood starts to change... thats irreversible... the core of a nuclear reactor is about 500 times more than that lol... water,concrete, or lead is used to shield it... and i didnt see any of the above in their space suits... just my $.02

 

I'm assuming the above statement is in conjunction to the picture below:



And if so, his shadow is to the right of the picture just above the shadow of the flag's. The reason it's so far away from him is because his feet is NOT planted on the ground. This picture was taken while he was in mid-hop. Astronauts cannot simply "walk" on the moon as video footage indicate. They move by hopping up and down.

 

No man never landed on the moon.

Also, the Earth is flat, there is no such thing as an atom and as a matter of fact, the moon is made of cheese! Don't get me wrong, it's a good idea to always questions things, but after a small amount of research it's obvious people who don't believe the moon landing happened have their heads stuck in the sand.

It amazes me that a lot of the same people who don't believe in the moon landing believe that there are alien spaceships in Roswell.
