Apollo Moon Rocks: NASA's Dirty Little Secrets
As usual, we've been through this one before, starting here.

FoosM, did all the Apollo camera negatives go through NPIC? I think NASA and NPIC had an agreement about camera negatives. We have seen only NASA pictures after they have been processed by the CIA.edit on 4/2/2011 by SayonaraJupiter because: creative license

Operational space-borne reconnais-sance completely transformed the context and progress of the Cold War—but it was conducted at the highest and most compartmentalized levels of secrecy in the history of the nation.The very possibility of reaching the Moon publicly was inevitably linked to the technological innovations that allowed secret observation of the Soviet Union and the rest of theworld, but the nature of that linkage remained hidden for the next third of a century.

Public release of previously deeply classified data nowmakes it clear that the coupling of open and secret, as in the Apollo program and CORONA, wasnot unusual, and was in fact the general case.

Well SJ you had provided the following document:

That pretty much confirms that NPIC filtering NASA photography.
Why would this be necessary for MOON trips?
We also have the following:

Its clear to me the evidence is pointing to Apollo not only being a public relations program but as well a cover for intelligence surveillance.

I think someone with a PHD in astrophysics has better things to do than debate a loon like Jarrah.
Again, what are Jarrah's qualifications to debate astrophysics? Or any other sciences? ANY?
N O N E.

Well I'd like to see any proof of the moon landings that is NOT in any way associated with NASA..
Anyone have something???

Hey, it was him that said "Bring it on" and he WAS referring to the likes of JW..
Kind of a cop out from where I sit..
Say what you mean and mean what you say...
I've got a little something.
Two countries that have space programs called "India" and "Japan."
Chandrayaan from India:
www.defence.pk...
Japan:
www.jaxa.jp...
Of course, not just one, but two third party confirmations will never be good enough for hoaxers.
There's quite a difference between debating a fellow astrophysicist who disagrees versus debating an unqualified loon like Jarrah White.

So you are telling me that Jarrah White knows more that the world's entire scientific community?
You are inferring that Jarrah White is an expert in everything from rocket science to lunar geology?
The more I have looked into the landings, the more I'm convinced they happened.
Many non-scientists are awed by the power and seeming certainty of scientific knowledge. So are most students of science. Textbooks are full of apparently hard facts and quantitative data. Science seems supremely objective. Moreover, a belief in the objectivity of science is a matter of faith for many modern people. It is fundamental to the worldview of materialists, rationalists, secular humanists, and all others who uphold the superiority of science over religion, traditional wisdom, and the arts.
The cases of fraud uncovered in the great unpoliced hinterlands of science are rarely brought to light by the official mechanisms of peer review, refereeing of papers, and the potential for independent replication. And even if attempts to replicate an experiment fail, this is usually ascribed to a failure to reproduce the conditions of the experiment precisely enough. There is a big psychological and cultural barrier against accusing colleagues of fraud -- unless one has strong personal reasons to suspect their integrity. Most known cases of fraud come to light as a result of whistle-blowing by immediate colleagues or rivals, often as a result of some personal grievance. When this happens, the typical response of laboratory chiefs and other responsible authorities is to try to hush the matter up. But if the charges of fraud do not blow over, if allegations are made persistently enough, and if the evidence becomes overwhelming, then an official inquiry is held. Someone is found guilty and dismissed in disgrace.
Scientists generally feel the need to preserve an idealized self-image, not just for personal and professional reasons, but also because this image is projected on to them by others. There are many people who put their faith in science rather than religion, and need to believe in its superior, objective authority. And to the extent that science replaces religion as the source of truth and values, then scientists become a kind of priesthood. As with priests in general, there is then a public expectation that they will live up to the ideals they preach: in the case of scientists, objectivity, rationality, and the quest for truth. "Some scientists, in their public appearances, can be noticed playing up to this role, which seems to invest them as cardinals of reason propounding salvation to an irrational public." There is also a strong disincentive for them to admit that there is anything fundamentally wrong with the beliefs and institutions that legitimize their own position. While it is relatively easy to admit that individuals may err, and to purify the community by expelling them, it is much harder to question the beliefs and idealizations on which the whole system depends.
The competitors in a given field try many different approaches but are always quick to switch to the recipe that works best. Science being a social process, each researcher is trying at the same time to advance and gain acceptance for his own recipes, his own interpretation of the field. ... Science is a complex process in which the observer can see almost anything he wants provided he narrows his vision sufficiently. . . . Scientists are individuals and they have different styles and different approaches to the truth. The identical style of all scientific writing, which seems to spring from a universal scientific method, is a false unanimity imposed by the current conventions of scientific reporting.

Thank you for making your personal agenda explicit.

OK, so how much thrust/force was required by the LM compared to a similar situation on earth?
The Japanese craft 'broke down' after it's illicit lunar rendevous with LROC. IIRC. Two foreign satellites link up in lunar orbit for data gathering experiment. A few days later, one of the satellites dies.
Japan's Kaguya spacecraft launched toward the moon in September 2007 on a one-year mission to explore the lunar surface. JAXA officials have since said that the flight of Kaguya, also known as the SELenological and ENgineering Explorer (SELENE), may be extended.
KAGUYA was descended to the 50km altitude from February 1, 2009 and then was descended again to 10-30km in Lower altitude (Perilune) from April 16, 2009. Finally, KAGUYA was impacted to the south-east of near side of the Moon on June 10, 2009 (GMT).
