Shocking NASA moon photo!

I stumbled upon a shocking NASA photo. Does this prove the moon landing were faked? I'm don't know much about imagery but this photo looks genuine to me.

2010.

Year of the idiot.

It looks very REAL indeed but the Cat?? I don't know...? I wonder why the egyptians worshipped Cats?

It's a photo-shop of good quality, you will notice the astronaut has footsteps in the sand but not the cat. The track which cat is walking onto has no foot prints.

Hello, anyone tried looking for paw prints?
I have taken a magnifying glass to that picture, cannot see any,
so I'm presuming its faked.

No, No, No, No... that bright light is a lens flare not a Mother Ship and probe from Venus! Come on people, wake up.

As for the cat, we cannot rely on NASA to tell us the truth. Clearly, this "cat race" made contact with the Egyptians and inspired some of their worship practises.

I understand that there are different types of these cat-like aliens, some are known as "grey", some as "tabby", there is even a "grey and peach" variety that is particularly violent and has been know to sleep on a persons head and urinate on visitors that they do not like.

Would have been much funnier had the cat been wearing a little astronaught suit

lol that's how you deduced it was fake? No paw prints?

Really?


Excuse me for being a bit gobsmacked here, I hope you'll understand.

Here's the original from NASA:

Apollo 16 spent three days on Earth's Moon in April 1972. The fifth lunar landing mission out of six, Apollo 16 was famous for deploying and using an ultraviolet telescope as the first lunar observatory, and for collecting rocks and data on the mysterious lunar highlands. In the above picture, astronaut John W. Young photographs Charles M. Duke, Jr. collecting rock samples at the Descartes landing site. Duke stands by Plum Crater while the Lunar Roving Vehicle waits parked in the background. The Lunar Roving Vehicle allowed the astronauts to travel great distances to investigate surface features and collect rocks. High above, Thomas K. Mattingly orbits in the Command Module.

Please, just a small amount of sentient brain activity is all that's needed here...

That's not a feline... That was NASA's Cursorial-Automated-Tecnobot.

Designed in the late 50's as a direct replacement for the Elephant originally planned for the mission are primary design factor was 'cuddliness' in order to afford the astronauts companionship on the trip in the - hope of avoiding any 'sexual activity' borne of boredom to which NASA (officially at least) frowned upon. Of course an added bonus is that Elephants when bored and in a confined space turn out to be jerks and poor spacetronaughts...

The Cursorial-Automated-Tecnobot's main role once landed safely on the surface was to wonder in a manner indicating that it owned the place, defend against any stray shafts of light or reflections... Chase bits of litter caught in the wind etc.

Disaster was closely averted after the Cursorial-Automated-Tecnobot tore up Neil Armstrongs suit with it's claws, the tear was spotted by Aldrin who happened to be chewing gum at the time and was able to make a quick fix. Aldrin later joked that removing the helmet was actually an unexpected bonus as he'd foolishly decided to smoke a rather large cigar and the smoke build up within his suit had become quite a distraction.

Alas this is the only one in existence and remains either on the surface of possibly in a very low orbit of the moon after Armstrong lost his temper and drop kicked the device over the Lunar horizon.

hello Chadwickus, actually, it was the computer 'Atlas' that worked that out for me, I do not have the brain power for that sort of thing, wish I had, then I could also type this myself, and correct the spelling and syntax, Oh, for the other half of my brian, life would be great, I would even be able to feed myself!

Ah, I see what you're getting at Chad! NASA photoshopped out the cat, and now they've been busted!!!

Stellar work Chad and let's not forget pikestaff either!!!

They could have at least stuck the cat in the reflection of the space helmet while they were obviously trying out their horrible photoshop skillz,

Or lack there of.


Can I sayz HoaXez?

Slayer - you've got it all wrong mate. The cat is real, the space dude isn't.

There was a report that mentioned that Adolf Hitler's cat was left on the moon, after the Nazi moon base program ended in 1945.

Apparently Dr. Mengle had been experimenting with feline twins - that's why we now have blue-eyed cats. Anyway, that cat in the OP's photo looks like Hitler's adopted cat - Fluffy.

I'll try and dig up the photo of her and the Fuhrer together, when he visited the Moon base.

Great post OP. This is why I keep coming back to ATS!

I know...

I'm just saying if they are going to even bother attempting this type of pic they could have actually added paw prints and the kitty to the reflection.

Not simply do a horrible job placing the cat.

I think the sad thing is mate, that there will be some who take this deadly serious.

That cat just found the biggest litter box ever

Thanks for posting this, it's going as my desktop background and I am definitely trying to make a lolcat out of it

Oh, and it's definitely fake. Goes without saying.
