For anybody who hasnt seen it.....Go Buy Discovery's "When we Left Earth". preferrably in Blue Ray. Amazing series that will make you damn proud to be an American. Seriously. The footage is great. Lots of never before seen stuff...
I saw all of the original footage on TV in 1969. No way it was fake, regardless of what some flake is trying to make money off of saying it was. It was impossible to fake, including all of the other trips to the moon. Plus, the Ruskies would cry foul first and they never have. Maybe this dude should concentrate on Lee Harvey Oswald and his dirty deed and that mistery or the Acorn situation.
First moon walk was on my 13th birthday in 1969 (yes, I am old but damn well set in life and proud of it)
The pictures and video from the first landing were kinda crude but there was no doubt in my mind that it really happened. In later missions, I'm sure the technology and methods of filming were greatly improved.
I worked for 20 years at Oak Ridge National Lab in Oak Ridge TN. They have samples of the MANY parts that were made there for the moon missions. Millions of dollars were spent on special hardware.
There will always be these kooks that make a futile attempt at fame by DECEIVING those who are gullible enough to listen and believe them.
It was special to me because it was on my birthday. I was lucky with the Vietnam thing. I was registered for the draft and had a lottery number because they had started drafting by lottery. Old "tricky Dicky" Nixon and Henry Kissinger put an end to it in the early 70's. THANK GOD!
I my uncle could tell some stories. He was on a two man team that would wait for a week to take a single shot. They were in places they were not supposed to be.
Till the day he died, you did not touch him when he was sleeping.
He had to carry his partner out for fifteen miles to the extraction point once.
Not too long ago, there was a show on IIRC the National Geographic Channel on the this exact subject of if the moon landings faked.
After going back & forth several times between the the doubters & believers they in the end talked to some folks at an observatory.
One of the experiments supposedly set up by the astronauts on the moon was a laser reflector. To this day, that experiment is still working. Astronomers using a high power laser are stil still taking earth to moon range measurements using that reflector set up almost 40 years ago.
The refector didn't get there and get properly positioned and setup all by itself.
