The Why Files and fake Moon landing

a reply to: billxam

Apologies! Sorry I missed the Why Files addressing the Van Allen Radiation Belts. Thanks also UpThenDown.

It was bright sunshine, hence the visors. There are shots showing Armstrong (16mm footage shot from the LM) and Aldrin's face (flag salute image).

There are numerous other shots from other missions showing the astronaut's faces (particularly Jack Schmitt in Apollo 17).

The USSR's main issue was the design of their heavy lift vehicle, the N1, which had a habit of exploding on the pad, and crippling bureaucracy and paranoia that hampered development. The rocket that launched their unmanned probes is little different to the ones that launch from Baikonur to the ISS today.

a reply to: cooperton

Not what he says at all.

a reply to: stonerwilliam

That's as false as your claim that you made Aldrin leave a presentation.

a reply to: WingDingLuey

They did. They used colour film in the 16mm footage shot on the surface (as well as colour TV). The people who say they didn't are wrong. That film was publicly available at the time.

There is NO PHOTO of Buzz Aldrin saluting the flag with his sun visor up.

You are making ignorant knee-jerk statements.

Show us the picture or provide a link please.

We are discussing the first moon landing so please don't be obtrusive.

I am not saying anything about the veracity of the images, but they do exist

I also believe Onebigmonkeytoo is one of the most knowledgable members on this site when it comes to space or moon landings and I have zero reason to doubt what they say

Pic 2 is obviously not apollo 11

And images existing do not make them genuine, so can you supply links to them so I can scrutinise the source myself please?

Been doing this a LONG time.

i simply typed into google "buzz aldrin moon landing sun visor"

Buzz Aldrin smiles on the moon in fascinating digitally enhanced photo that reveals his face inside his spacesuit during Apollo 11 landing in 1969

NASA Moon landing: Buzz Aldrin’s face as he steps on the moon revealed – never seen before

PSI’s Jim Rice Recalls Finding Astronaut’s Face In Iconic Apollo 11 Photo 10 Years Ago

first time I had heard of these images, so again thanks to OneBig MonkeyToo for letting me know they exist, again i make no claims about them being real or not, if someone chooses to believe them (i do) or if someone does not, it matters not one iota to myself what others believe

a reply to: UpThenDown

I was aware of the car salesman from Cheshire in the UK who enhanced a photo many years ago....

Mr Saunders said that he brightened and darkened the shades of the photo, which was taken by fellow Moon lander Neil Armstrong, often a few pixels at a time, to slowly reveal Dr Aldrin’s face.

I could put Elvis or Mickey mouse in that helmet doing the same thing..."a few pixels at a time".

I still think it's incredible there isn't one single clear photo of such important people on such an important occasion in history to prove once and for all that someone actually walked on the moon we can all stare at most nights and have done so for millenia.

you were not there K

a reply to: stonerwilliam

And neither were you.

Unless of course you can tell us where it was, when it was, maybe provide your souvenir ticket of the event.

NASA didnt do them selves any favors by faking the Gemini-10 space walk, that's for sure.

a reply to: nerbot

Picture 2 is of Aldrin's Gemini spacewalk.

The bottom image in the post is from the 16mm footage from the LM.



IOn teh other photo, Aldrin's face is visible even with the visor down:

There's no color tv movie film from moon surface with apollo 11 mission

just color still pictures

some people mistake color moon movie film from later missions

a reply to: WingDingLuey

The footage shot of the Apollo 11 EVA from the LM is in colour. The link I posted above in an earlier post didn't work (probably didn't like the time stamp), so here it is again:



That's the second 16mm magazine used, the first one, while Buzz was still inside, is this one:



The 16mm landing and take off footage from Apollo 11 were also on colour film.

Next you will be asking me for xxxk pictures .

North of Scotland late 1970s in a small church hall , of real hard hard core Christians , tickets lol I even invited a couple of my school friends that evening .

Funny thing was a Harley street surgeon now old and retired and another surgeon and doctor I know remember this as well , they seem to be nomads between the sects of Christianity and just happened to be there that evening .

I found this out over a cup of tea one night years ago at another church hall not far from the now bulldozed one that I mention but you will probably not believe that I guess .

I had fun that night but probably went a little to far with my mental gymnastics with the rich kids asking them was it the lion and the lamb or the wolf and the lamb and stating I could not touch their holy book as I am forbidden to touch Bacon .

Where I am from a man is only as good as his word , and it should be easy to look up as there still has only been 12 individuals who claim to be on the moon and did a tour of hard core brethren halls telling them how bad the Russians were and how they were smuggling in bibles to be printed out on these tiny microphyshes? Spelling.

In December of 1998, an independent journalist interviewed Stanly Kubrick where he made an astonishing admission to having filmed the moon landing personally. He then delivered EYES WIDE SHUT to Warner Bros. Executives in March of 1999 then died 6 days later. The heavily edited version of EYES WIDE SHUT was later released in July of 1999. In said interview Kubrick discussed with great detail for his reasons of disgust towards Warner Bros. for leaving out a large portion of what he considered to be his greatest contribution to mankind through his film making skills.
