Yes, Buzz Aldrin was seeing this video for the first time ... look.

Which lends a lot of credence to the posts I made back a page.

Yes we know, the topic being discussed is buzz's reaction to seeing the faked footage he was supposed to have filmed in the video above.

First, the blue haze appears not only on 6818 and 6826, but on all photos from 6813 to 6853, when the astronauts returned to the LM. Clearly you and the very estimable Doctor discount the possibility that Conrad and Bean took a swipe at the lens between EVAs.
Second, the haze is not centered on the astronauts or equipments, but on bright objects in the frame. Especially near the center of the frame. 6820 is a great example of this. The glow doesn't surround Bean, as one might expect from an electro-static effect, but does show up around the brighter portions of his suit where the sun is shining most strongly, suggesting an optical effect.
Third, the blue halo doesn't show up anywhere else in the Apollo photos. Could this be because all missions from Apollo 13 onward carried brushes to clean the camera lenses more frequently?
NASA says it's an optical phenomenon. If you intend to say that it's not, then tell me what it is, why it only shows up on a partial film magazine, and doesn't manifest itself in any other surface photography. And yes, I've read Demeo's article; his arguments are weak and specious at best.
118:18:09 Pete's First Pan at Middle Crescent Crater ( 382k )
Pete took this partial pan from the southeast rim of Middle Crescent just before he and Al headed back for the LM. The frames are AS12-46- 6836 to 6844. Note the strong colors at the center of the righthand frames. Examination of successive frames indicate that this related to the camera lens, *very likely* a dust smudge. Kipp Teague notes "The lens aberration begins at as12-46-6813. It's a blue glow around the astronaut in 6818, again in 6826, a discoloration in other frames, affecting clarity in most, and it's not gone again until 6853 (back in the LM). *Whatever the phenomenon is,* it has a varying impact on color based on the brightness of the central object in the image. On bright subjects, the aberration adds a blue cast, and on darker subjects, the aberration adds a reddish cast." I note that it also seems to vary with sun angle. Assembly by Dave Byrne.

We are truly headed for a situation (at least in the United States) shown in the movie Idiocracy. IF something isn't done, soon.

Yes I get it, technology goes in cycles, we dont know how the pyramids were built, but we know they were built.
But the difference between the Concorde and Apollo is that the Concorde was a natural progression of air travel. We still have supersonic jets being flown today. We still have commercial travel all over the world. Its logical, that those can once more be combined for supersonic commercial travel.
No, my friend. You missed the point entirely, while actually pointing at it no less
Are you trying to say that we dont know how concordes were built?
You say we have commercial flights
(We have the ISS & Shuttles & Soyuz, aka we have manned space exploration)
You say we have supersonic flight
(We have robot probes on the moon, mars, around jupiter, saturn, etc, etc)
Once we had both combined.
Now not anymore
You say we could combine those things again, if we wanted to.
I say: Yes, we could.
I also say we don't send people anymore because we can do it with robots now.

And how do you render the CSM invisible to optical telescopes and Soviet radar while it's in orbit? A Romulan cloaking device?

As predictable as the sun rising in the East, Foos disappears and then returns with a complete change in subject.
Foos, we're still waiting on you explanation as to how the study you quoted (but tried to hide) supports your assertion that all the astronauts should have seen the same flashes. Then please tell us why NASA would not be able to tell what camera settings to use prior to the first landing? It's a simple question, and one that does have an answer.
