Apollo 13 was due to land on Frau Mauro on the Moon. The entire time of it's mission, the landing site was in darkness. This is completely irrevocably provable. Would anybody care to comment on how they were going to work in complete darkness?

It was in daylight at the time of the planned landing. Do you mind telling me who you think has irrevocably proved otherwise?

I'll second that Bob. Your facts are wrong cap. Even the online moonphase calculators clearly show Fra Mauro to be in lunar morning at the scheduled landing time. Next!

Thanks fellas, I wanted to see if I was dealing with amateurs or not. Yes, it was a full lunar morning at the time of landing. One of the things I heard about this was that Fred Haise said he actually saw the landing site but couldn't see it because it was 'in darkness'. I would like to quash that one..save you the trouble. People often forget that a lot of light is reflected from the Earth that gives plenty of light to see the darkened moon....especially when there is immediate light pollution. I have more to come to keep you on your toes!

... so they would have landed on the Moon on April 15-16, 1970. The planned time of landing was 15-April-1970 at 9:55 PM EST, which would be 2:55 UTC on 16-April.

When you say it like this, you sound like you're promoting the claim rather than just asking about it.

Thank you for your irrevocably provable fact that proved to be anything but. Here is a moon phase calculator to help you in a search for actual facts. www.inconstantmoon.com/cal_phas.htmIf it is not being rude, why not spend your time reading clavius.org where you can find real information rather than the site I suspect you picked up that little gem, which is full of misinformation and outright lies.

Welcome Capricorn1. May I ask if you are peddling a particular hoax theory or you'd just like to discuss/learn about aspects of the Apollo program? If the latter, you would be better advised to post to the Reality of Apollo board.

Cos... thanks. Conspiracy wise...I peddle nothing - there are plenty of people out there who will do that. I'll read, digest and make my own mind up. Apollo...I'm about 90% sure they went. But am not happy with some of the photography work, and a few other bits and pieces. I'm foraging about old threads to see if I can see some other opinions. Otherwise watch this space.

Have to wait and see but it can't beat the 'moonlandings were faked in a studio on the moon' angle.

Well, the initial opening sounded odd with a quick two step to "ah, just testing"......
