Apollo 6, launched on April 4, 1968, was the Apollo program's second and last A type mission—unmanned test flight of its Saturn V launch vehicle. It was intended to demonstrate full lunar injection capability of the Saturn V, and the capability of the Command Module's heat shield to withstand a lunar re-entry. Fuel line failures in several Saturn V second and third stage engines prevented it from achieving lunar injection, but it was able to get close to lunar return velocity by using the Apollo spacecraft's engine, as was done on Apollo 4, the first Saturn V test. Despite the engine failures, the flight nonetheless provided NASA with enough confidence in the Saturn V to use it for manned launches. And since Apollo 4 had demonstrated the heat shield at full lunar re-entry velocity, a potential third unmanned flight was cancelled.

And later this evening after the crowd disperses and the Sun goes down, a nearly full Moon will rise out of the darkness and shine down on an America that is prosperous and at peace. And for those old enough to remember that historic night 20 years ago, step outside tonight with your children or your grandchildren, lift your eyes skyward, and tell them of the flag — the American flag — that still flies proudly in the ancient lunar soil. And for those who were not yet born or then too young to recall — you who are the children of the new century, raise your eyes to the heavens and join us in a great dream, an American dream, a dream without end. Project Apollo, the first men on the Moon — some called it quixotic, impossible — had never been done. But America dreamed it, and America did it. And it began on July 16th, 1969. The Sun rose a second time that morning as the awesome fireball of the Saturn V lifted these three pioneers beyond the clouds. A crowd of one million, including half of the United States Congress, held its breath as the Earth shook beneath their feet and our view of the heavens was changed forevermore.

And America "did it" refers to dreaming i think.

The shadowing and black levels around the "Challenger descent stage" do not look the same, as they do, in the 3x enlargement. If you follow your eyes around the shadow of the "Challenger descent stage" you can see what I am talking about.

ALREADY discussed, in this thread.
A few (hundreds?) of pages back.....terrible attempt at polluting this topic, with already debunked info.....

Don't you find it interesting that these photos directly contradict what the astronauts claimed about having bruised and bloodied hands and fingers?
nd Im still waiting for somebody to explain how astronauts on earth in full gear, which one assumes
must STILL weigh 185 pounds, managed to do simulations with no problem, but on the moon had difficulty
doing acrobatic jumps in 1/6th G.
Hello, I'm sorry 'proudbird' but it's not good enough to try and shutdown a discussion by saying it's already been discussed, and then not being able to reference the original post.

If it has already been discussed, you need to reference the original post. I'll be waiting.
Odd isn't it?
If a moon hoax believer put up that standard of pic as proof they would all be criticizing it because it is heavily enhanced..
Double standards are a wonderful thing..
Whats their game? It makes no sense.
Could it be the enlargement was just another photo taken at a different time?
Their software creates artifacts?
Only one name, a NASA representative, is blacked out. I wonder who that could be...
