Why did Apollo end right around the time when Vietnam ended? Why didnt the US further push into space for (at least) propaganda purposes?
I tell you what. Take the same photo:
AS17-141-21608
And indicate with arrows which direction the shadows should fall:
The Astronaut
The Rocks
The Boulder
It should be easy because there was one light source.
Then we can compare the photos and see where I may have made a mistake.
Red to link object and shadow
Blue to show direction of slope.
What you claim as no shadow for leg can't be seen because of slope.
Multiple light sources GIVE multiple shadows to EACH OBJECT were you asleep

We've been through all this before, of course. Courtesy wmd_2008:

After all, it was all fake, right? It would be easy to fake dozens more missions. Heck, they could pretend to build a moonbase and broadcast reality TV shows from it! Right? So why didn't they do that, FoosM? Wouldn't that have distracted people from Watergate? We all know what a manipulative liar Tricky Dick was. He would have been all over the fake space program. So? If it was fake, why did they stop?

Well technology available outside of NASA and the military definitely increased rapidly in the early 70's.
It may have been harder to fool the masses..
I know in the late 60's not every house in Australia had a phone and a fridge, let alone a TV and certainly not color..
Tells me that if people had access to the internet back in the 60's - 70's the moon landing would have been debated from day 1. And these debates would have spilled over to discussions in academia and political circles world wide.
There would have been more of a push to include third parties (possibly instruments made by other countries to verify for scientific purposes and to verify the missions) & generally for independent scientists to be more closely involved in the moon landing as this was discussed earlier:
Well he didnt finish, and he didnt show where my arrows were wrong.
You want to point it out?

As for "independent" scientists getting involved... it's funny, but every time an independent scientist from Stanford or MIT or Harvard starts working with data from NASA, you suddenly classify him as "tainted," and refuse to believe what he or she says anyway!

So imagine how much further technology advanced within NASA and the military! Star Wars opened in 1977. Surely NASA could have maintained the hoax if they wanted to. As for fooling the masses, just because people suddenly had color television doesn't make them any smarter.
Exactly, and this is why in this day and age it makes it even hard to fake in this day and age due to the internet.
How are they independent scientists if they are not conducting the project themselves and instead merely analyzing results given to them by NASA as you say.
There are people who think that the Chinese launched a missile off the coast of California because they saw it on the internet.

I would love to, but you have never explained what all those arrows are supposed to mean. Explain them first, and I'll tell you what you got wrong.
No, but they see more details..
Certainly better than the original BS NASA feed us, filming a screen and then transmitting that..

Because their affiliation is with other institutions. They designed experiments and submitted them to NASA. NASA then selected them and ran them. The scientists weren't paid by NASA, they were independent. If NASA faked the data, the scientists would be suspicious.

Bah, we went to the Moon. NASA isn't lying about going to the moon, there lying about what they saw and learned up there. In my opinion, any fake footage or photos is because very little of what they actually shot up there could be released to the public and while it would be monumentally hard to fake the journey there in whole, would be very easy to fake videos and pictures seeing that they already had a studio to do just that and a guy like Stanley Kubrick around.....edit on 24-8-2011 by Helious because: (no reason given)
