LOL -- looks like you've got your own posse who are following your every utterance and showering your explanations with stars -- 9 stars in 10 minutes. Very impressive!
I noticed that too. I wonder what kind of conspiracy that alludes to?
It's so contrived that it makes me wonder about the whole thing. They almost had me leaning to the official story but now the BS meter is cranking up.

Before the Apollo program:
The Mercury program put 6 astronauts beyond the atmosphere, 4 of them into orbit.
There were 10 Gemini missions, putting 20 astronauts into orbit.
Apollo 7 was an Earth orbital mission. Apollo 8, 9, and 10 orbited the Moon without landing.
Is it really that easy to ignore history? With this level of ignorance it's no wonder people can believe Sibrel and his ilk.

Wow, so because MANY people agree with his post, there must be some posse lining up to star him regardless of what he says?
Notice that your very own post regarding it has 4 stars at the moment, so you got you own posse then too huh?...how cute...

I've answered this many times already on this thread, you just keep repeating the lie anyway having full knowledge of the truth. I said some of the telemetry tapes were found, then you distorted the truth by selectively quoting to make it seem like they weren't.
Apollo TV tapes: the search continues

Vintage Apollo space missions tapes uncovered at a university in Western Australia are not what a team of experts are trying to locate.
"These aren't the tapes we're looking for," said John Sarkissian, operations scientist at the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization's (CSIRO) Parkes Radio Observatory in Parkes, Australia.

NASA Searching for Moon Landing Tapes
NASA launches official search for more than 13,000 original tapes of Apollo moon missions
WASHINGTON, Aug. 16, 2006
(AP) Red-faced because the best pictures of its glory days are missing, NASA said Tuesday it was launching an official search for more than 13,000 original tapes of the historic Apollo moon missions.
What's missing are the never-before-broadcast clear original videos _ not the grainy converted pictures the world watched on television more than three decades ago.
The tapes aren't lost, insists the NASA official put in charge of the search. But he doesn't know where they are.
Most likely they are somewhere at the sprawling Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., which misplaced the tapes originally. But they also could be stored somewhere else.
The original video, taken directly from the moon and beamed to deep space network observatories in Australia, has never been seen by the general public or even NASA officials.
The entire world watched fuzzy, ghostlike images of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walking on the moon. But only a handful of technicians saw the good stuff live, sharp enough to see Armstrong's reflection in Aldrin's faceplate, said Stan Lebar, the retired Apollo television camera manager.
"The quality ... is two, three or four times better than we ever saw," said Richard Nafzger, a senior engineer at Goddard who on Tuesday was put in charge of the search effort.
The original tapes played 10 frames per second in Australia, Nafzger said. But television needed 60 frames per second so each picture was repeated six times and "you'd see ghosting," he said.
Until Tuesday, the search for the tapes was a spare-time deal and retirement hobby for Nafzger and the 81-year-old Lebar _ not anything organized. Now with news reports of the lost tapes and NASA wanting data for its new lunar missions, the agency ordered a search of its cosmic attics.
Nafzger hopes the hunt can be wrapped up in under six months with five workers and a bit of travel. Stored in more than 2,000 boxes, each tape lasts only 15 minutes. Everything from all 11 missions - from launch to splashdown - is on the videos, Lebar said.
There are 15 reels (three boxes) for just Apollo 11's stay on the moon, Lebar said.
"It's the whole history of the entire mission, of everything that went on," Lebar said.
And they're somewhere, but no one knows where...

The Ranger and Lunar Orbiter missions provided necessary photographic and other data about the moon. There were a total of 9 Ranger missions and 5 orbiter missions.
These were followed by 7 Surveyor missions, 5 of which successfully landed and did not sink into the surface. After landing, Surveyor 6 used its engines to launch and relocate itself a short distance from its first landing point.
The Apollo missions were not carried out in complete ignorance. Unlike some of the statements made here.

you just can't convince me
There are so many anomalies. The whole entire thing is an anomaly, just the fakiness of how the astroNOTs spoke and acted, not at all like men who were truly on the moon.
I correspond quite a lot with a physicist who assures me we did not go to the moon. Not only that he said we never landed any unmanned satellites or spacecraft on Mars either, or got anyplace near it.
Everything NASA does is lies. The shuttle is just to keep reminding people that when you get so far out from earth you become weightless, to make people think this is all Star Trekky.
Pseudoscience. How convenient that they lost all the tapes and the plans for their miracle ships that performed a feat, SIX TIMES, that 50 years later cannot be duplicated
research they never did before the first flights, research they did not bother conducting during any of the flights, but NOW 50 years later they think are necessary.
Three days on the moon. In that spider-legged contraption, with no place to go to the bathroom except in their suits.
Three days. With radiation beating down and no atmosphere to shield them from it.
With a temperature of close to 300 degrees F.
Yeah. Sure they did. They took their tomaguchi gigapet computer technology (which they didn't even have itthat
advanced, to get them to the moon and back, and even to accomplish a hook up with the "mother ship" launching off the moon in their spider legged roofing paper contraption.

Were any of these unmanned flights able to come back to earth and land in the ocean?
Answer: No.

The story that is now making the rounds, Sarkissian added, refers to copies of one-inch magnetic tapes recorded at the Carnarvon station in Western Australia. They contain data from Apollo 11's Early Apollo Surface Experiments Package (EASEP)-a set of scientific instruments emplaced at the Apollo 11 landing site by the astronauts.
Correction — August 13, 2006
This article incorrectly reports that magnetic tapes of first moon landing and five other Apollo missions are missing. This is erroneous. Only the magnetic data tapes containing the recorded transmission from the moon's surface are missing. The data on these tapes includes the original slow-scan TV signals, plus voice and telemetry data of the first Apollo landing. The originally broadcast conversion of the slow-scan recordings of the landing are preserved at the National Archives.

We landed on the moon already with unmanned probes. We knew what the surface was like because we studied it there with unmanned probes like Surveyor I already linked you to.

The reason you're weightless in orbit is because you're in perpetual free fall around the earth. Distance from the earth has nothing to do with it.

If you were being intellectually consistent and honest you'd have to conclude that the space shuttle is a hoax by your logic.

Yes, it worked [the primitive computers], it still works, you can test it with the real guidance software yourself:

That was never the mission plan.
Right. Not necessary to test out bringing an unmanned anything back from the moon. Just risk the lives of men by sending them up in a contraption made of roofing paper and gold foil with a hand drawn paper flag and 'United States' scotch taped to it. Worse yet, use the scotch tape to also hold the lunar lanader together.
How stuuupid do you really think we are?

What?

The Mercury program put 6 astronauts beyond the atmosphere, 4 of them into orbit.
There were 10 Gemini missions, putting 20 astronauts into orbit.

So just send people up in low orbit and impress everybody with their weightlessness and people will think these guys are out near Mars someplace. It's just a propaganda ploy.
No, it's as you say, free fall simulating weightlessness,
so it's real but it's also just for effect, for propaganda effect that is. That's the only purpose it serves.
Oh, NASA has a new story on that one then. The old story was they had special absorbent material.
Excuse me? Were the astroNOTs also wrapped in gold foil?
And what's with the water evaporator system? You mean the lame story NASA says about discovering water on the moon, frozen in the shadows, and using that to help cool their backpacks?
Oh, they have software plans for the hookup with the mother ship that didn't get lost?
