Who shot Neil Armstrong ?

I love when an HB comes into the forum all cocky like they think they know something that will stump us.

The camera was mounted to the side of the Lunar Module and operated remotely. Pretty simple to do, even way back in 1969.



Why not? Any radio transmission of suitable power will travel endlessly through space forever and ever. Even with 1960s technology.



Actually the delay was only a couple of seconds, not several minutes. And what do you mean it's ignored?



Nice theory. Prove it.



Not really. Lot 171 was a death trap, full of hazards. The ceiling was falling in, the water supply was radioactive from all the A-bombs dropped in the area, and several aliens had escaped from Area 51 and were on a killing spree during the summer of '69. So really, the Moon was the much safer option.

See... if you can make stuff up so can I.



No, Ed Harris said that.

A faked moon mission would be guarantied to fail. The only way three people can keep a secret is if two of them are dead. There were thousands of people involved with Apollo, and yet not one of them has spilled the beans.



If they were destroying proof why would they even bother telling us the tapes were missing? Seriously, this conspiracy theory is pretty stupid.

Jockndor this subject has been expained many times on how TV pictures can be transmitted from the moon, the time delay, and how the first TV pictures were taken.

Theres a great web site here that explains how it all worked.

This web site explains how the TV signals were sent from the moon to the earth and how they were transmitted around the earth

There is a great little documentary here as well, enjoy.

The camera was attached upside down to the Modular Equipment Storage Assembly (MESA) on the LM. The MESA is deployed by a handle on the egress platform by the Astronaut when leaving the LM. See here www.myspacemuseum.com/g-mesa1.gif


Picture of the Camera attached to the MESA mock up.

and here is a detailed picture of the camera in the MESA

This shows the camera stowed upside down

There was a c*ck up in the early transmission as you can clearly see the image is upside down and then is corrected by a technician as the camera was stored upside down.

The camera was later detached and set up on a tripod which can be seen in the image above.

There is a wealth of information on how this was all done here:-

On the issue of filming on a backlot somewhere.

Well to put it into perspective.

If i take a small example .

Ok lets take a film - You only Live twice 1967 Duration of the film 117min (I dont know the exact length of TV and film from Apollo 11 but i would guess about 1.5 hours at least)

Principle Photography took 9 months with about 3 months post production.

Number of blatent c*ck ups and continuity errors. - 89 mistakes source www.moviemistakes.com/film1432.

Assuming this was all prerecorded (safest way i would guess) *cough*
Now to take it a step further, there were 9 missions which whizzed around the room. Now if there was say at least 1.5 hour of TV and film footage for each mission and the quality is just ok that would still be around 2-3 years production at least. Now this is where it all falls down, to fake this they would have needed the stars of the show, the astronauts who were actually back to back in training missions at the time and would have been missed.
Ok it was done live i here you say... well to do a multi set real time show for at least 1.5 hours of transmission spread over 7-8 days with an almost perfect record is extremely hard. Think complex lines, motion, sets and communication which all has to be synched with the real time ground control and not one serious problem..Oh come on..

Anyway its all immaterial as they photographed the landing sites now and guess what ....there are footprints and vehicle tracks from the apollo missions on the moon..

Which means that........

the insecure, discontented people who crave to find a conspiracy theory under each stone will have to move on and find something else to externalize and blame for their own personal problems and social alienation.

Why did you find it so hard to stop for a few moments and think about this? Why do you find the idea of an external camera so difficult to imagine? They had external cameras fitted to aircraft in WW2 to record gunshots... it's only a very short step to imagining something being put on the outside of the LM that could be activated by Neil as he exited... as was indeed the case (see references posted above). Is it really that difficult to imagine?

I t always makes me laugh when HBs come out with this gnarled, shrivelled old chestnut or:

• No stars in photos
  
• Ballooning spacesuits
  
• Lethal Van Allen belts
  
• Disappearing reseau marks
  
• Flapping American flag
  
• Non-parallel shadows
  
• Multiple light sources on the moon
  

they trot it out with a little fanfare as if we're meant to believe that they just thought of it after years of diligent research. Instead, they've just done a hit-and-run on a hoaxie site and splatted it on another blog like this, as if it's meant to impress us.

We haven't heard much of anything from Sibrel lately, have we...?

The Harry Potter movies are obviously staged. You cannot scream "EXPELLIARMUS" in a vacuum; that's just silly.
