Big Muley's existence on the moon was said to be visible only in a television sequence. I find that a little surprising, with the largest sample ever taken, that they wouldn't have also made a photograph. A quick search of the Apollo Lunar Surface Journal finds at least one picture showing Big Muley AS16-109-17789 with Big Muley being the big rock just near the head of John Young's shadow (it is labled in this picture but the picture is of much lower resolution), there may well be more but I didn't bother searching further. A) After 40 years of trying NASA still hasn't figured out how to make a perfect stimulant, yet the HBs claim that they managed to do so in a matter of years for the hoax. B) You need to consider just what they are trying to simulate and why. They are trying to simulate the regolith ie dust rather than the general rocks, and they are doing it for things like studying construction using lunar materials and rover wheels, for which purposes fine details like zap pits and the slow crystallisation are pretty much irrelevant so aren't being bothered with until they can get the bulk properties right.

Hi, everybody. I came across a link to this forum and was innocently browsing it when I saw this Jack White thread and just had to join to post at least one comment about Jack. I used to visit a forum about the JFK assassination about 12 or 13 years ago but stopped going after my posts that pointed out Jack's mistakes kept getting deleted. It was the only forum I knew that Jack posted to and he was treated like a god. I thought I'd read that he'd died a few years ago. Oh, well. That's what I get for assuming stupidity is a fatal condition. I suspect that there is/was a connection between Jack White being treated like a god on that forum and not posting elsewhere, after all on another forum some nasty mean person might unfairly use facts to refute all his arguments and he doesn't want that. As to him having died I belive that you are confusing him with one of the other big Hoax Proponents who was killed off by super secret NASA ninjas through the use of that most terrible of weapons old age. You might want to look at the recent posts in the "Please help me debunk my friend" thread here, Bob B. has illustrated the trajectory used by the Apollo missions to avoid the worst of the Van Allen Belts.

I sometimes get the feeling that hoaxie-baiting is kind of like laughing at the lack of comprehension of small children. I'm a sick bastard... If they were actually small children then I would agree, laughing at adults who have (apparently) fairly normal mental capabilities and educational opportunities who never the less still have the level of comprehension of small children is a different matter.

About half way down that post Turbonium actually suggests that the Chinese might have used superfluid helium to simulate weightlessness and how the fluids extremely low viscosity aided in simulating the way the flag moves in a vacuum. Is it just me or wouldn't it be cheaper and easier to "simulate" the space walk by doing it in orbit rather than in superfluid helium?

Another point about the LLTV is that its not a stripped down version of the LM. In fact in terms of technologies used and the general design it has very little in common with the LM and much more in common with a Harrier jump jet, they were simply intended to mimic the performance of the LM for training purposes rather than being part of the actual development of it.

some people seem to think that rockets work by blasting all their fuel into a explosion all at once sending them flying after that. Honestly, I'm not kidding. Oh boy, someone needs to make them watch an actual rocket launch, or at least video thereof. If that doesn't cure them then they are in need of regular doses of the cluebat.

Other than the raving loonies and those desparately seeking dollars, are there actually any 9/11 CTs left? Yes, its just that they tend to have disappeared into their own little communities where they don#t have to worry about reality intruding.

Yes, its true, the Moon really is a (sorta) alien battleship, this Historical Documentation proves it beyond any possible shadow of a doubt. Well that or Mr Nidle needs to go read something other than science fiction, and possibly lay off of the mind altering substances, he has apparently lost the ability to distinguish between fiction and reality.

Simple, we don't, unfortunately many HBs with their general lack of critical thinking ability do. Its not, the guy responsible for it has been active both here and on BAUT promoting his stuff (and getting his ideas ripped into little teeny tiny pieces).

Yeah, I thought it was more like 1.5 seconds. Besides, I bet they had rehearsed it on Earth ahead of time. I'm pretty sure it would be at least three seconds, the image has to get to ground control before they can respond to it.

since this is my first thread i should introduce myself. I'm from Croatia and I'm a supporter of Apollo program. I've recently talked to one of the hoaxies and he claims that the Apollo 16 LM ascent stage looks badly damaged. He claims that NASA made a bad job on making a fake model. he referenced this image: www.hq.nasa.gov/office/pao/History/alsj/a16/AS16-122-19533.jpgi've checked the LM diagram www.apolloarchive.com/apollo/lm_diagram.gifmy explanation is that this is the cargo storage bay, once the rover and science equipment was left on the Moon it looked empty. Just wanted to check with you guys first. All the cargo bays were on the descent stage so its not that. My guess would be that it is actual damage to the outer skin from something (are there pics showing that area taken on the Moon?), the outer skin of the LMs was non-structural and not part of the pressure vessel so it was made as light as possible meaning that its was only barely strong enough to hold together though the stresses of being launched into space, so long as it didn't develop big holes it would still do its primary job of shading the internal components.

Oh, on a follow-up, I have yet to come across true de-jpeg software which actually tries to reverse the JPEG encoding algorithms in order to do a really good job of restoring the original de-JPEGed block information. Anyone have any ideas? Currently I am using Topaz Labs DE-JPEG. Unfortunately JPEG uses lossy compression so actually reversing it is impossible (short of really major breakthroughs in mathematics anyway), once the data is gone its gone for good. The best way to get hold of uncompressed versions of the Apollo images would be to contact NASA directly, though you would probably have to pay.

It is convenient to classify oneself as HDisB and from an elevated position demand definite answers from whoever 'threatens' the status quo. I myself prefer to keep open minded and question everything. We all know that these discussions would end only when the Moon sites are visited again and examined on site. And why would the sites being examined up close convince you when the large quantities of existing evidence that mesh together perfectly don't? How would back projection produce large numbers of photos, hours of video, and hours of film shot from different locations and angles that never the less match up? And how does it make the astronauts and their environment behave as if they are in low gravity and vacuum (for example there is at least one section of an astronaut falling over while results in him moving in too complex a way for a wire rig and his body falling slowly while his arms and legs move at normal speeds to catch himself and he tries to get up)? And then there is the other evidence from non-Apollo (and some non-American) sources like the the various probes orbiting the Moon (including the LRO which at least under the right circumstances can see tracks left by walking astronauts), the radio tracking stations, people who listened in on the transmissions, and amateur astronomers who tracked Apollo.

I have read a number of comments on this forum stating that the stars should never by visible because they simply would not register on the film with the exposure settings. Others have seen what they thought were stars but were shown to be radiation strikes on the film. I look forward to you seeing your work. I recall seeing a thread on BAUT where someone calculated that Sirius would have been at least within the realm of possibility for the film to pick up, though they didn't work out if any other stars would be. Even if gonetoplaid doesn't find any actual stars he has done some interesting and impressive work.
