After all, two decades later, with much improved and superior technology
to that of 1969, a mission only 1/100th as complicated, the Earth orbit
of a telescope (Hubble), was nearly as many years behind schedule as the
entire duration of the lunar landing goal, and then, after its sixth
launch attempt, didn't even work when it arrived at its destination
which was 1/1000th the distance to the moon. In addition, it took
another two years to make the necessary repairs to get it operational.
Even today, an unmanned probe (to Mars), the size of a large toaster,
requires nearly ten years to develop. Mr. Medved, where is the logic in

The Apollo astronauts were the first to report this phenomona. It is
*not* created by the Van Allen belts but rather by cosmic rays. They
are powerful, but their density is low. We have a good idea of how
often they hit things from probes we have sent to other planets which
have been exposed to them for long periods of time.

The Van Allen belts are farily intense, but they passed through them at
25,000 mph and were exposed for well under an hour. You should note
they controlled the choice of mission dates so they could pass through
a weaker part of the belts (away from the sun side of the earth).

Sensible people would agree that a candle flame of several hundred
degrees would seriously burn me if I placed my hand in it and is a
dangerous thing. But people also know that you can pass your hand
quickly through the flame without much risk.

We have the same thing. It's not enough to know they are "danerous",
but we must contrast strength with exposure time.

If you claim that a short trip through the weakest part of the belt at
25,000 is unsurvivable, please document this. Do you have any numbers?

What's your point?

The Hubble Telescope mirror was misground because of a washer in the
wrong place on an instrument which provided feedback during the
grinding. This was not caught because NASA was tight with the money
and decided to not do a simple test which could have caught this on
earth.

Contrasted with the manned missions where the safety of the astronauts
was paramount and NASA spent many, many, many times more money on
Apollo than on Hubble to work towards that goal.

It's like wondering why with technology as advanced as it is today do
mountain climbers die on much smaller mountains than Everest. People
must not have climbed it all those decades ago.

Mr. Armstrong is a very private man, and does not wish to be in the
public eye.

Of the eleven other men who walked on the Moon, I believe ten are
still alive. They do make regular public apperences, have written
books about their experiences, and have gone on to other endevours.

I just love it when idiots pull numbers like "1/100th" totally out of
their ass. People say "Look how fast my PC runs Quake. They couldn't
do
that 30 years ago. Obviously, it would be no problem sending someone
to the moon now."

By your universal "principle of 1/100", my car should have cost about
$100 (corrected for inflation) and get 2000 mpg. Does this mean the
cars of the 60's were hoaxes?

Yes, computers and electronics have improved dramatically,
and there have been some materials developed which would make the
task a bit easier, but Newton's Laws have not changed, and there
have been no dramatic improvements in rocket fuels. Rockets of today
are not fundamentally different than the rockets Robert Goddard built.
Basically, sending a man to the moon today would be almost as
complicated as it was 30 years ago.

BTW, it's *three* decades, you moron.

And they just launched the MAP probe which was built in a fairly short
time for a tiny fraction of either of these missions and will sit at
the Earth-sun L2 point - 5 times the distance to the moon!

You comparing one project on NASA's very full plate to something that
became almost their entire, well funded, raison d'etre for a decade.
The Apollo
program had broad support and an almost unlimited budget. If
everyone as NASA dropped what they were doing and started working
on project "X", and congress approved a blank check for project X,
it's likely project X would get done in short order - but everyone
not involved with project X would get pretty annoyed.

I assume you believe that the development of the A-bomb was also
a hoax? You can make all the same comparisons between its development
and later weapons programs, so I guess it must be fake as well.

Dear moron,
Because of the speed at which the crew traveled through the Van
Allen belt the radiation they were exposed to was VERY SMALL, the
equivalent of 1-2 chest x-rays. The vest you wear at the dentist is
just for precaution, you don't even really need the damn thing
actually.

Right. We couldn't do it then and we can't do it now.

An astronaut would typically have either two or four trips through the

If you told the dentist he had to stand in and "hold hands" with only
four patients in his entire life and he would win a trip to the moon he
would most probably *leap* at the chance.

The radiation load of an entire mission is less than two chest x-rays.

No space scientists with an interest in the Van Allen belts seem

You are aware that they moved at 25,000 miles per hour and choose where
to cross the Van Allen belts? They picked an area which is not

The point- back then, film and videotape being broadcast live from the
moon could not be faked, little boy.

Like the Warren Commission-

The Kennedy incident had a few major players, maybe 10 or 12. Probably
more minor ones.

The moon landing had millions watching live TV from space, the people
watching them enter the rocket and launch were in the thousands, no way
to keep something that big a secret.

Just for fun, let's add in radio communications with the astronauts

Then how come it is said that the computer chip of a Sony Playstation of

And if the onboard computers on the Command Service Module and the Lunar

There would still have to be thousands....

The astronauts (of course).

The leadership who made that decision.

The people who designed the hardware to "insert" the fake data as if it
came from the moon.

The people who reprogrammed the rocket to secretly dump in the ocean
rather than going to the moon.

The people who designed the software to "simulate" the tracking data
good enough to fool the computers used by the large tracking teams to
track on earth.

The scientists who were good enough to invent fake scientific data good
enough to stand to this day. Scientists with enough forsight to
anticipate newer discoverys which would back up their trick data.

Geologists who woud manufacture rocks which would have the subtle
chemical signature of the moon rocks.

The diplomats who would convince the Russians, Chinese, and our allies
to not expose our fraud based on any research (ie spying) they had done
on the program.

It would be worth as much as you could ask for it. Such a chip was
wholely beyond design in that age.

Why would you say that? The AGC happens to be of interest to me lately
and I've done a lot of research on it. Are you claiming it never was
built or did not work?

It was also the computer used in Skylab and after Apollo by the Air
Force in the F8 aircraft as the first "fly by wire" controller
computer. The first shuttle computers were only slightly more
advanced.

Why would the core memory be "as big as a house"? The core memory they
used was not terribly advanced for the age.

They only had about 38,500 words (16 bit each) of non-volitile "rope"
core which was clever because they only used one core "donut" per word,
rather than the 16 it would ordinarilly take. This is because it was
ROM, they ran the sense wires for the bits which should be a '1'
through a common core and skipped the bits which should be a '0'. This
meant the rope cores only needed 1/16th as many cores as similar
volitile core memory would have.

It only had 2,048 words of volitile core memory (ie, RAM).

The entire computer was made from about 2,500 flat pack dual-nor gate
chips for a total of just over 5,000 total logic gates (which is very
small). It had 34 instructions based on a 16 bit word (paritity + sign
+ 14 data bits).

The entire computer wieghed about 70 pounds and used as much power as a
60 watt light bulb. There was never a computer failure in space.

I dare you to call me on any of those details. Show me why it would
have to be as big as a house....

Hundreds of workers at the Cape saw the astronauts enter the capsule,
which was then sent into orbit, and then left Earth orbit. Live
televison was sent from all the Apollo missions, showing the crew at
work inside the capsules in microgravity.

Nobody did. Not with their own eyes. But we have enough evidence
from other sources to make an overwhelming case.

The actual computers on the LM/CSM were tiny. You can read all about
their design and operation here:

http://www.abc.net.au/science/moon/computer.htm

These weren't computers like the ones you and I are using. They were
primitive, incredibly simple, and backed up by a roomfull of
programmers standing by at Mission Control to explain and solve any
glitches.

One other thing to consider: There was a Russian Moon landing project
called N-1 that proceeded to test launches and unmanned launches
proving that there was a race to get to the moon between American and
the then Soviet Union.

Explain that.

Follow this link to understand the Russian Lunar Program

So if it were all a hoax, why would the Russians participate?

See this link for the history of the Russian Manned Lunar program.

If there were no American Lunar program why did the Russians have one?

You can prove that there was a moon landing for yourself: On several
missions, laser corner reflectors were left at the landing sites so that
scientists here on earth could measure with percision the distance between
earth and moon.

Rent a laser of sufficient power to conduct the experiment for yourself.

It's true; the Moon landing never happened. The guys who were slated to
go didn't actually, and Aldrin and the others helped perpetrate a hoax. The
guys who were supposed to go were men who later became known as "Abbot &
Costello". Their attempt at a Moon landing was filmed by NASA, and when it
failed, they made a comedy out of it where the two tried to get to the Moon,
landed back on Earth, and thought they had gotten to their assigned
destination. Hilarity ensued, naturally, and the comedy team made comedy
history. Bud Abbott and Lou Costello were Americas' first two astronauts
that attempted to reach the Moon. Now, as regards the others, I don't know
about the legitimacy of their other space exploration trips, but I know that
they never got the opportunity to go into comedy that Bud and Lou did. Just
goes to show you that you can find your true calling in life even from a job
that just isn't for you. Luckily, the early NASA cameramen along with Lou
and Bud failed to realize they were really on Earth on that first attempt,
just as Abbott and Costello did, or they would never have gifted us with
that hilarious send up of the space race.
So, in the final analysis, Mr. Fletcher is quite right, but who would
have known just how involved the conspiracy really was?
As a writer for Popular Science magazine said "I remember talking to an old
man who told me "Boy, don't you believe them men went to the Moon. Ain't no
tellin' what the gov'mint did with all that money". It's too bad people
can't realize the wisdom of that old guy. Of course, being around 80 or so
at the time of the Apollo mission, he had a better perspective. A lot of
older people back then didn't believe it, but thankfully, we have Mr.
Fletcher as one of our modern day skeptics. Who knows what we might believe
if we didn't?
Anyway, since we're on the subject of government hoaxes, there are a few
others that I would like to bring to your attention.
1) The Atlantic Ocean. Yep, it's true. Giant mirrors were put up in the
late part of the 1800s, on tethered balloons, and ever since the generation
that knew about them died off, we have been told that there is an Atlantic
Ocean. It's bull people, pure and simple. Worst of all, it was done only so
people decades later studying pollution trends would be less upset,
believing that there were two oceans to soak up the pollution. Too bad the
government didn't save the money it required to build that illusion, or by
now we might have actually had another ocean.
2) The Earth is round. The Flat Earth Society is putting the lie to the
truth on their most important issue. How fortunate we are that there are
people around who didn't fall for the conspiracies of a few
scientist/madmen! The Earth is flat people; it's as flat today as it was in
Galileo's time, and it will continue to be flat. By the way; don't believe
everything you read about Newton and that "gravity" BS either.
3) The Moon is "aglow" at night only because of the reflection of the
Suns' rays. Oh, really? If that's true, then why do wolves howl at it,
instead of pointing their noses to the ground (the general direction of
where they would find the Sun if the Earth was really round), and howl
towards the source of the Moons' glow instead of at the Moon itself? Hah!
How did they ever think we would fall for this? Folks, the Moon glows by
itself, and if you doubt me, just check a chart of where the Sun is supposed
to be the next time you notice the Moon glowing. Remember the episode of
"Cheers" where Norm met an old rival from high school, who wanted to date
Norms' (now) separated wife? What did he call Norm? Moonglow Peterson! So
who wrote the episode? Idiots? I think not.
4) Earthquakes. Yeah, right, it's "Plate Tectonics" that causes all
those rumblings. Sure. And how exactly do these plates move? And why? Folks,
this all goes back to the crap about the Earth being round, and not flat.
See, it's obvious, when you accept the fact that the Earth is flat, that the
rumblings can only be caused by the flapping at the edges. Hold a paper
plate in your hand, and imagine that it is fairly thick, and quite heavy.
Now, if it's heavy, then when it shifts a little this way or that, the edges
move up and down, don't they? Of course they do. No, no. We are told to
believe that it's all stuff happening "deep down, where the plates move, and
in other areas because of plate movement". Ok, so why then does the San
Andreas fault exist? If the plate on your hand has a hard crust, like the
Earth, and you bend it, the crust breaks, doesn't it? Of course it does, and
that's just what the San Andreas fault is.
I didn't want to overload anyones' capacity to understand just how far
deluded we all are by the government when I started this post, but these are
facts, friends, and we're just beginning to scratch the surface of how much
we're being lied to. Here's hoping that we can all come to understand a
little bit more of the flat Earth around us, the water tank where that
fake-assed Moonwalk was probably filmed, the glow from the real Moon, and
the real reason we all stay pretty much on the Earth instead of floating out
into space; the "pushing down" force from the charged particles that fly out
of Uranus.

Actually, we *did* get to the moon. But the inhabitants told us to
knock it off and not to come back.

That's true. It's just like the Smoking Man/Grassy Knoll
hoax. They never existed. Studies conducted with building
models in a wind tunnel have proved that the wind swirling
around the buildings and around grassy knoll would have
blown the smoke in a different direction than that depicted
in the fake photos.

Also, the fuzzy photo showing what is claimed to be the
hairy head of smoking man was evidently a squirrel in mid
air and falling to the ground from a tree limb protruding
into the area from a tree on the other side of the wall.
After dropping 576 squirrels from various heights in a lab
and photographing them falling investigators have
practically duplicated the photo of what is supposed to be
the top of Smoking Man's head. This project did not go
unnoticed by the American Humane Society. However, they
used specially designed squirrel nets to catch the squirrels
unharmed. The nets were woven out of a mixture of cashmere
and Russian Sable at a cost of only three million dollars.
