surely there was some sort of remote control. FFS if they supposedly had the technology to land on the moon I would guess they had some sort of sophisticated photography system/or way to record it wouldn't they?

the "pod" or Lunar assent module took off from the moon and WASNT watched on apollo 11,
it was the later missions 17 I think, the tv camera was attatced to the lunar rover (the little buggy the latter missions took with them) and the camera was operated from mission control,(on earth)
but because of the distance and the delay that causes, the opperator had to feed in the commands to pan upwards a few seconds BEFORE the module actualy took off, and he got it spot on as well,
Apollo 11 only had the one fixed camera position, Thumbs Up

The Moon Landings happened

The leader of the Australian team that communicated with Apollo 11 when the moon's position meant it was in the shadow of the earth from the American continent did time domain measurements on the telemetry comms with the spacecraft orbiting the moon while the LEM was on the surface. Measuring the round trip time for the command and response signals. Given then beam width of the big dishes used is bugger all of a degree there was no way that a terrestrial system could replicate this. Next someone will say that the pictures of earth rise taken by Apollo 8 were faked..

Christ some people are so gullible I think I will start sending emails from Nigerian Oil Executives wanting to give away millions of dollars if they could just have your bank account details

Why wouldn't the Russians have exposed it though? Also there were quite a few trips to the Moon so alot of fakery would have had to have gone on over quite a long period. Then again....why didn't the Russians ever get near the Moon? They sent the first satellite in space, the first man in space...and yet never got anywhere further.


because they couldn't get close enough due to a type of radiation that pretty much killed them...americans seem to be immune to it though

IMO, the ones who believe it are the gullible ones Nod And for some reason, the ones who 'believe' it are being very rude to those that don't. Why? Zaphod, your posts making fun of people, and putting sarcastic posts with the 'Nigerian scam' is really not impressive and is certainly not going to change peoples' minds.

Just because YOU believe it, doesn't mean everyone else MUST BELIEVE it, and it certainly does not mean that it definately happened. Some people do not believe it happened and do not agree with you. Deal with it. Nod
