Hi all,
I'm new here, so forgive me if this is under the wrong heading.
I have a lot of questions, so instead of posting a lot of threads, I'll post all my questions here.
1) With what instruments did the USSR track Apollo 11? I've heard the argument made that the USSR never disputed the moon landings, therefore they believe they happened. But what did the Soviets use to track?
2) What was sample-return technology of the 1960s and sample-return technology of today? If the Apollo missions were indeed real, they collected roughly 800 pounds of moon rock, and there were 6 missions. That figures out to 120 pounds per mission. Would it have been possible for 6 robots to retrieve that amount of moon rocks? If not, why not.
3) Why can we believe the scientists that have examined the moon rocks when they say "These are moon rocks". Could they be in on the alleged hoax?
4) Could Apollo 11 have remained in Low Earth Orbit for 8 days while NASA was filming the mission on the ground? If not, why not?
5) This really isn't a HB question but... Does Apollo 13 prove the moon missions were real? I ask this because: a) Apollo 13 was 3 days into their mission when they had to turn around. If they were simply orbiting around the earth, it is highly unlikely NASA would have risked their lives to keep the secret; b) it took the crew 6(?) days to get back to earth, therefore they really were many miles away in space. That's all I have for now on that subject.
Answer as many questions as you can (or want)
Please bear in mind that I'm not trying to troll. In fact, I don't know what to believe yet- NASA or the hoaxers. I'm just looking for answers.
Thanks for the help! ;D
