I remember hearing stuff about this conspiracy theory. One point that kept being brought up was: "Why do all the 'photos' from the moon never show the sun?"
I don't believe that it was faked, but cannot 'splain why one does not see the sun in any background of moon shots.
I recently purchased a film about this from a company in England. They go over the details of the original photos that NASA put out.
The Van Allen Radiation Belt really bothers me. According to what I found out is that no living thing can pass through it alive. How did we do it with the primitave space craft that we shot up? :-{} Also the shadows that converge at different angles, as if different photo lamps were used.
Real interesting to look back and see these, especially since our tech. has increased so much. Kind of like watching a movie from the 60's and compairing it to how they make movies today.
There are no stars seen in any of the photos on the moon, let alone the sun.
The flag moves all by itself as if a breeze is blowing it. Problem is there is no atmosphere on the moon. How does that happen?
The thing that caused my wife the most concern was the astronauts press conference on their return. They all hung their heads and were generally sedate. The reporters were very enthusiastic and excited at the prospect of men actually on the moon. The responses from the astronauts was unsure and unexcited.
My wife said that if anyone had done what they had, which in the history of man would have been a monumental feat they would have been telling their adventures with excitement and joy. All of them acted like they could care less and really didn't want to be there.
A year or so ago, Buz Aldrin was asked by a man in California, if he had really walked on the moon. Buz's response
wasn't "Yes, you just can't imagine the experience and feeling of what it was like"--------------No he hit the guy with a closed fist. --------------it made the news, maybe some of you remember. Interesting response don't you think?
This seems to be a sore spot with Americans, because of National Pride I think. As we are the only ones to have done it. :-{}
A common phrase is "If we can land a man on the Moon, then we can ??????"
Amazing that the Russians who were so far ahead of us in the space race at that time were never able to go to the moon, and no one else has been able to either.
