I'm not following his argument on the way he thinks the background was faked. I can follow his attempt to use simple geometry to compare the height of South Massif, but three problems occur to me immediately; that he doesn't know where the "base" is from the surface photographs, but only where it is cut off by local horizon; that the height in the contour map is not the height from the local ground level (most probably it is height to reference spheroid but I'm guessing here); and I see nothing in his analysis to account for spherical distortion in the camera lens.
Past that, I can't even swear he is calculating the field of view correctly, or the distance from the feature.

I was going to work on this, but I was banned from the forum. That sure seems to happen a lot on hoaxer forums, doesn't it? |

Yes, it seems to happen a lot. Nukelies does not allow any disagreement with their basic premise that nuclear power in any form is a fraud and those that do not conform are labeled trolls and banned.
I think the forum membership mostly consists of spoiled teenagers raised by nazis.
Is there a way to account for spherical distortion caused by the lens and determine how much it is?

I got a new computer and went to log in and it looks like I've been banned too. I just get a "this account is inactive" error. How open-minded that are! |

Then does it sound like a place where you really wanna spend time typing responses that are almost sure to get ignored or removed?

frenat, what name did you use on that site? Jay, I am not going back to the site. But I was interested as this guy seemed to have actually put some effort into the drawings and calulations unless he got them from someone else. I had never seen this kind of effort outside of YouTube.  Ranb |

I had never seen this kind of effort outside of YouTube. Ranb It was frenat. Same as I use everywhere. I only used the account to track the nonsense posts there anyway. Update: I was contacted (by PM) by Rerevisionist, the moderator of that forum, and he said he reactivated my account. They periodically make accounts inactive if they haven't posted. I mentioned that I may not post, that I mainly used the account to track new posts. His next PM revealed he didn't even know what that meant and that even unregistered users could read all posts. I explained that only if you were registered with an active account could you get emails informing you of new posts. His response? A Pm that I can't read as my account is now inactive again. How open-minded! thread continued on the new board here www.apollohoax.net/forum/index.php?topic=40.0 |
