Best Apollo Resource I've Ever Seen

[Trinitrotoluene]

I have written a script that removed the need for all these steps, simply goto www.landingapollo.com/apollo.php and select mission, enter the roll number and frame number then press submit

Sorry guys, link is working again now. I'd changed all my pages to PHP rather than SHTML and the link was dead! I've also gone through a username change, I'm no longer gavsto anymore

Wow trinitro that is a great help. I'm sure i will be using that quite a bit!

Hey, a German apollohoax debunking site:
www.moonhoax.lipi.at/index.htm
They have a forum too, but I don't understand German!

[Halcyon Dayz, FCD]

Some of the discussions are actually in English.
And Harald Kucharek is a member.

Looks good.

Allow me to post these links that provide information about the Lunar Orbiter missions:
nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary/lunar/loinfo.txt
Also the Lunar and Planetary Intitute:
www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/lunarorbiter/
Lunar 5 took 174 pictures during 69 orbits of the moon.
Digital Lunar Orbiter Photographic Atlas of the Moon:
www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/lunar_orbiter/
You can look up any medium resolution photo by Lunar 1-5 here:
www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/lunar_orbiter/bin/srch_phn.shtml?1|0

"Digital Petrographic Slide Collection" of the Apollo Moon Rocks:
ser.sese.asu.edu/cgi-bin/DPSC_Browse.pl
I may have found all the HiRes Lunar 5 pictures here (I haven't counted them):
astrogeology.usgs.gov/lo-cgi-bin/vhFrameListPage.pl?listing=alpha
If they aren't all here, they are in the process of doing so...
Oh, and finally a clickable-zoomable Lunar Orbiter Mosaic of the Moon:
www.mapaplanet.org/explorer-bin/explorer.cgi?map=Moon&layers=moon_lo&west=-2.81&south=-1.41&east=2.81&north=1. 41¢er=0&defaultcenter=on&grid=none&stretch=auto&projection=SIMP&r=1&g=1&b=1&advoption=NO&info=NO&resolution=128&scale =0.4738&imageTopX=-170568.919237&imageTopY=85284.459619

A 95 Meg PDF file from NASA about the LO missions:

Hardly any of the links are working for me...

Are these links supposed to be identical, it seems to me that they have been truncated somehow?

[Ginnie]

Crap. I don't know what happened, I'll have to find them again!
Then edit my post... ;D

That's because the only resource that is there at the moment is the high res request and the documentation.

The rest if being created as we speak

As long as we're talking about Apollo resources, let me tout Bob Andrepont's Space PDF compilation, with links to online versions of many space documents. Very, very handy, and saves a lot of time wading through the NASA Technical Reports Server.

With the recent demise of Geocities, Bob Andrepont's excellent page appears to be no longer available. Has it moved elsewhere? Is there any way to recover the links?

[BertL]

Here is the archive page. You might want to copy the links to the PDF files and remove the 'http://web.archive.org/web/20071014061358/' part instead of clicking the link though; you don't really need the WayBack Machine to view documents that are still on the internet.

If you don't want to use that I expected this would happen one day.

All documentation on my site here: www.landingapollo.com/apollodocumentation.php

Since we're posting resource links here I thought I'd add the best information on the Apollo trajectory in relation to the Van Allen Belts.

First is Bob Braeunig's wonderful analysis:

www.braeunig.us/apollo/apollo11-TLI.htm

And second are drewid's videos that show the TLI and the VABs in 3D:

apollohoax.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=theories&thread=2614&page=21#75933

Very, very well done.

The best Apollo sources I have ever seen regarding convincing me that it really happened was the people I have met involved in Apollo. Dick Gordon, Al Worden and Jim McDivit, were all very good sources when I had the opportunity to talk with them. Somebody asked Gordon if Apollo was faked...His reply was that if it were, the Soviets would have called us out on it. That statement rang very true to me. Then there was my next door neighbor who had worked on Apollo and I had worked with a few other people as a quality consultant going from client to client. Some old timers at ILC Dover had some interesting stories and I also got to meet one of the LM simulator designers in my travels. All of these people seemed to believe it happened and they worked on the damned thing.
