The undulation in the terrain was not created by a rocket thruster. Notice the small rocks around its edge. Why did they not get blown away? Showing
one photo that just happens to show a dip in the ground in the vicinity of the thruster, only goes to show how desperate you are to prove your point.
Why didn’t the other landers show this exact phenomenon? They are the exact same apparatus, landing in the same manner after all.
The lack of atmosphere causes the exhaust from a rocket engine to spread out and therefore it wouldn’t make the small hole that the picture depicts.
It would clear away a much shallower hole over a much wider area. If you need evidence of this, go and watch some Apollo launches. You will see
towards the end of the clips, that the exhaust fans out as the atmosphere gets thinner. Imagine how much more exaggerated it would be in the Moons
virtually none existent atmosphere.
So hang on, is this your irrefutable proof that they went to the moon? Because that’s what I am asking for. Quibbling over the way we perceive
photos just goes nowhere.
For instance you think that film footage of the Rover on the Moon shows the dust reacting in a manner that you are told could not be recreated on
Earth, whereas I see the “fine sand” reacting as I imagine it would in a large enclosed area here on Earth.
The plans for building the Saturn V rockets, the Lunar Lander and the Lunar Rover would go a long way to shutting nut cases like me up, would they
not? Those plans could be scrutinised by todays engineers in the field and they may all say “yep, that’d work” If we actually went to the Moon,
then it’s a real shame this evidence doesn’t exist. How convenient.
I’m not trying to wind anyone up here, well maybe just a little, but my point is that all this debunking you talk about, only show why people’s
claims might not be proof of a hoax and not “we have proved it was real so piss off!”
The stars for instance. Foreground light will indeed make distant less bright objects harder to see, but that doesn’t explain why there were no
pictures of stars. Shutter speeds on those Hasselblad cameras were fully adjustable and I don’t believe that at least one of those twelve astronauts
would not be told during those six landings to make adjustments to take pictures of stars.
So I ask you again, where is your proof? I will hang around until either someone comes up with proof that I can’t debunk, or one of you admits that
you have no proof, just as I have no solid proof to the contrary, or until you all run out of ideas on how to scare me off.
