Hello Sonofone & all. I read heaps but don,t post much, sorry. I was thinking, it,s 1969 & i am in a space race. Only a couple of years ago the Chief Astronaut said that we would not be ready for at least ten years, anyways he died in an accident & we are ready. I want to take some photos for the people back on Earth. Don,t want to spend all that money & get no photos. What sort of film do i use ? After all the temp range on the moon is -243 deg F to 225 deg F & the window of opportunity for photos will be small. www.adlerplanetarium.org/learn/moon/facts.ssi How about damage from radiation ? How do i protect the camera ? How do i protect the film ? I need good photos. If i have to change the film in the camera in situ can i take my gloves off ? Hard enough on earth with bare hands on a sunny day. The temperature range for film deterioation is small enough on Earth. www.kodak.com/global/en/consumer/products/techInfo/e30/e30.pdf I have five grown up kids that i been taking photos of since they were two inches tall & i can,t figure out how they got those photos up there let alone them having heads in the background. I know too that when i go through the X ray at the airport they are concerned about damage to Pro film. Hmm, does anyone know about film ?

Everything is not a consperacy.
1) Sceptics argue that the lack of stars on Moon photographs is acceptable, despite zero atmosphere to obscure the view. Yuri Gagarin, pronounced the stars to be "astonishingly brilliant". See the official NASA pictures above that I have reproduced that show 'stars' in the sky, as viewed from the lunar surface. And why exactly do you think there are hardly any stars visible on Apollo films taken from the Moon? The answers simple - Professional astronomers would quickly calculate that the configuration and distances of star formations were incorrect and so NASA had to remove them to make sure they could keep up the scam.
2) The pure oxygen atmosphere in the module would have melted the Hasselblad's camera covering and produced poisonous gases. Why weren't the astronauts affected?
3) There should have been a substantial crater blasted out under the LEM's 10,000 pound thrust rocket. Sceptics would have you believe that the engines only had the power to blow the dust from underneath the LEM as it landed. If this is true, how did Armstrong create that famous boot print if all the dust had been blown away?

4) Sceptics claim that you cannot produce a flame in a vacuum because of the lack of oxygen. So how come I have footage on this page showing a flame coming from the exhaust of an Apollo lander? (Obviously the sceptics are wrong or the footage shows the lander working in an atmosphere)

Good lord. There are mirrors on the moon being used in experiments to this very day.
They were placed there BY people who landed ON THE MOON. If we never got to the moon, the mirrors wouldn't be there, and if they weren't there the experiments using them wouldn't be taking place.
If you ignore that obvious proof that we went to the moon (the mirrors) and look at the other "evidence" that "proves" we did not, every single bit of it has been discounted for the same reasons.
Lack of attention to detail and flawed reasoning.
We went to the moon. Period.

There is also evidance of observatories who visially tracked the Apollo Module and even took pictures of some of the fuel/water dumps. Not to metion having some of the first pictures of the far side of the moon being taken. Finalyl there are the retro-reflectors that are being used to this day. Shine a laser thru a telescope, the laser beam ends up being a poor version of a flashlight, and the reflection is recorded by the observator which if you know the speed of light you can calculate the distance withen a few inches
I find it interesting that moon consipracy theroists allways point out flaws, yet never provide any proof to discredit known information like the above information
