There are some who claim that man never landed on the Moon. They say we did not have the technology at that time to do it. Well, yes we did. The U.S. had been using rockets for decades and science was booming in the 1960's. Space travel was real and we had the ability to get to the Moon. If the Moon landings were faked, then you would have to involve a great number of people and someone would have talked by now. Telescopes have seen burnt marks on the Sea of Tranquilty where the Eagle landed in 1969. Those marks did not get there by themselves. Pictures that seem to have evidence of the fake landings are comical. One has an astronauts' face shield showing a reflection of a camerman. When enlarged, that cameraman was a Photoshop image, and a bad one at that. Conspirators will stop at nothing to try and convince you, even if they have to fake an image. Conspirators are funny people. Some claim that 9/11 was an inside job. Others say that JFK is still alive and they have evidence to prove it. If they are right, then I will have to believe that Elvis and Michael Jackson faked their deaths and are out there somewhere. I did read that Elvis was working at a car wash in Michigan. The fact is, that it is all a bunch of nonsense. Those who say the Moon landings were faked have nothing but nonsense to show for it. Thank you. George Vreeland Hill Attachments:

Welcome to the forum, George. You'll find the majority of the people here agree with you that the Moon landings were real.

I was just about to say those things too!
G'day georgevreelandhill, and welcome to the Apollo Hoax forum. As you should be able to tell from the caption at the top of the screen, most people here accept the reality of Apollo. HagbardCeline is the only vocal exception at the moment...

Welcome to the forum, George. You'll find the majority of the people here agree with you that the Moon landings were real. However that's not a reason to allow untruths to stand unopposed. Totally untrue. There are no "burnt marks" on the Sea of Tranquilty where the Eagle landed, and even if there were, a telescope would have been be masive, 100m+ in diameter, to see them. We don't have any telescopes of that size. |

Perhaps confused with the plume effects spotted by the Jaxa hayabusa team?

Oh yeah. My bad.
I over-remember (IYSWIM) Hayabusa because of the bike connection.

Would it be bad of me to suspect a seagull?

So what? At least he stood up to be counted.

Speaking of technology. Does anyone know how duct tape can withstand the extreme temperatures and evironment of the moon? Did they really use duct tape to fix the fender on the Apollo 17 rover? Duct tape is not even recommended for actual duct work here on earth.

"Duct tape" is a misnomer. It has never been a tape for use on ducts. It originated as "duck tape", in reference to the use of tape made from cotton duck fabric. It was an instant sucess as a short term water resisted adhesive tape. During an Apollo mission it only had to hold for a few days, something that seems to be a reasonable expectation under most circumstances. One would suspect that like the flags left on the surface, and any other organic material, the duck tape used in the rover repairs has long since degraded into a small pile of powder.

Now THAT's a seagull. Thanks for the demo, Inconceivable.

inconceivable's post rearranged for narrative purposes.
Did they really use duct tape to fix the fender on the Apollo 17 rover?
Yes, they did. First to tape on the broken part of the fender, than to fabricate a new temporary fender which was then clamped to the rover.
Does anyone know how duct tape can withstand the extreme temperatures and evironment of the moon?...
The duct tape didn't have to withstand anything for very long. They were only on the surface three (Earth) days during the lunar morning. The temperature reached by the duct tape wouldn't have caused it to suddenly fail, nor would the vacuum. I would imagine by now what's left of it is in poor shape, but that's after five decades of exposure.
Duct tape is not even recommended for actual duct work here on earth.
And it wasn't recommended for lunar surface applications, either, but that didn't matter. They didn't need a long-term solution; they needed a dust cover for a few days. They had a problem, and they adapted and overcame it using a tool that wasn't planned for that purpose.

So what? At least he stood up to be counted. Is a troll's actions any better because you actually agree with his statements? It seems to me that the OP didn't come here to discuss Apollo, he came here under the false impression that we didn't and so posted as he did merely to stir up trouble. That is poor behaviour regardless of the fact he appears to be an Apollo Supporter rather than a Hoax supporter. |
