Perhaps this has nothing to do with an object on the moon... Perhaps this is just a powerplay by China to demonstrate to the US govornment it has the
ability to hack into US files and reveal their secrets.
What is the point in taking a picture, photobrushing part of it, and releasing it to the public when you could just take a picture of another area and
release it to the public...no one would be the wiser.
They messed up.
They did not antecipated that in 2010 some people would be here, looking for photoshoped images. Maybe they did not known that we could have personal
computers. Maybe they thinked that the world was much more "Orwelling" that are at this point and we not supposed to be free speach in internet
foruns. They simply did not anticipate that the world would share knowledge and internet must had be an utopian to that guys.
OR they knewed that they would control the MSM and did not cared at all.

Found 2 images of another angle of blurred pic in 2007 thread, how do I upload a jpg file from my computer (would link to thread but lost location).
Thanks in advance.

Back to the translation. Well...the first translation is always..
CPC Central Committee, Central Military Commission of the Chang'e II Engineering Task message sent success and celebration, held will be a very high
standard, and Premier Wen Jiabao to attend the opening photo. Such a high specification, such a grand celebration, unusual, absolutely story.
Grapevine, broke the news broke out, the roadside community news, Chang'e lunar exploration that NASA discovered the mysterious object and the same.
That found in the moon thing incredible birds, produced a huge internal differences, the leaders of the state came to see, and it is the TMD of the
shock, fear people finally know what rice birds, which has a heavyweight other People want to open, but the opposition is powerful!
However, putting it back to Chinese, then back to English gives you this...

The TMD noted in the first translation always gets turned into these characters...
戰區導彈防禦系統 which translate as theater missile defense system with the various characters meaning
war zone / (military) theater of operations
guided missile / cruise missile / missile
defense / to defend
system
The upshot being, they've found a missile or missiles and there is an arguement going on about telling people about it. IMHO of
course

I had my chinese friend read it. She said that the statement can't be valid because it is not an official person speaking. (That's a no-no in China)
So, it amounts to what is basically hearsay.
So, let's wait until some actual official in China makes an 'official' statement. It is, after all, a dictatorship
This is amazing, not a single photo of the so called object, various translations and it all leads to what? Nothing! 17 pages of nothing, that is
truly amazing it must be said.
a few days back i replied to a thread about some moon anomalies.i got some rebukes such as "No, you cant use google apps, they're just toys",
another noted "you can't get anything from a low resolution pix", another still wrote "those black square blocks represents missing data" that
it is a common sight in nasa imageries...
but i do have some misgivings on most all of the nasa imageries that i have seen, i have a foreboding feeling that they only let us see what they want
us to see.
i can still remember those mind blowing pixes of the apollo flights featured in the Life magazine circa 1967,68,69 especially the space walks prior to
the landing.everything was awe inspiring untill they landed.coz from then on til now all the images are in gray scale...joe escamillas moon production
is brilliant,but mostly for cinematic efx.
he forgot what he is looking for...
and now the chinese chatters...
what if the technology we have now is only capable of measuring what they want us measured? why no astronomers with sooo very powerful scopes, cant
see whats up on the moon surface...could be that the moon's surface , or atmosphere(?) is a camouflaged or a stealth technology? what if those black
square blocks are automatically programmed to block images not fit for humans? after all their technology is such that for us we can only call it
"Magic"???
i do have my catalogued of strange images from moon and mars and im doing my own research...maybe too amateurish but im doing it to validate my own
perceptions and beliefs...
That video kinda blew my mind a bit haha. What could those objects be? And what kind of life forms inhabit them that they can change form and not hurt
the inhabitants?
Sorry, dude....the article headline you linked, re: Richard Branson's "moon shuttle" is a bit misleading, yes? Did you stop at the headline, and not
read the rest?
Apparently whoever wrote that is a dunce, when it comes to things aerospace-related. OR the title was intended as a grabber.
Either way, it is comparing, in the other part of your post, TWO different goals of Branson, and his efforts via Virgin, and any consortium companies
that are involved as well.
On the one hand is the "X" prize....that goal? The commercial concern that first manages to soft-land a probe on the Moon. UNMANNED!! Probe!!!
(Also, says nothing at all...at all....about launching OFF the Moon, and returning safely to the Earth!) The "X" prize will be met and
won solely by the successful landing...of something, that can rove, and have video sent back.... It can be any size, with the modern miniaturization
technology of electronics, and then transmit a signal and voila'!! Of course, to be able to move (and prove) at least 500 metres, it will have
to be a certain minimum size....but, when I see toy R/C cars on the toystore shelves.....that might be about the right size, depending on where it
lands. Mars Rovers, or somewhere in between. Payload weights are the critical part, there....so, once they achieve it? We have a
weiner!!!
($30 "prize"? Wow...think it'll cost a lot more to actually do it....)
NOTHING about a human to the Moon, by the Virgin company...NOTHING about the life support systems needed, the technological hurdles to overcome, etc,
etc...AND, the re-entry.
SO...about my so-called "spewing"??? I write facts, not misrepresented pie-in-the-sky jump-the-gun speculation that is flimsy and full of more holes
than Bonnie and Clyde at their last shoot-out.....

Not sure what you are saying.
Zorgon's post didn't mention a manned mission that I could see..
I read it as the basic aim is to get a rover type vehicle onto the moon that can move 500m and send images back to earth..Thats it....
Ohh, and I read it was $300m, though we know how zeroes get thrown around
Sorry again, dude. Your feeble attempts at perpetuating the Apollo Lunar landing "hoax" crap show that you're well out of date. And, speaking of
"spewing".... ...the same "arguments" you spouted here haven't changed much over the years....in the meanwhile, each and every assertion of
Apollo landing "fakery" has been thoroughly trashed.
Everyone knows (well almost everyone ) that the LM stuff was done in Building 9 with the full scale mock up. They made the sky black so the
studio lights didn't show up...
What utter BS...(and, IF you truly believe this...and not just doing it with your tongue in cheek), it is grossly ignorant. Has been shown as
ignorance and dis-info for years.
You (and the other "hoax believers"..."HBs"...may find this thread illuminating:
Those training mock-ups are MOCK-UPS for a reason!!! It's called training. AND, the mock-ups look NOTHING like the actual LMs in the
Apollo photos and videos. (Just one example --- no aluminized mylar insulation, etc..) (We'll get back to videos again, later...).
And then, --- you actually say this???:
Then later they used that same set to make the updated version of the Moon Landings - Overhead shot of the re-created lunar surface for the
IMAX 3D film Magnificent Desolation: Walking on the Moon 3D
The "same studio"??? For a movie that was filmed in 2005?!?!:
So, this "same studio" (cough*cough) that YOU say was "used" in 1969, just sat around and waited for Tom Hanks and the IMAX producing team to show up
in 2005? OH, and BTW....remember Mr. Hanks' masterful "From The Earth to the Moon"?? THAT was in 1998!!!!
OH, and also BTW...what was that YOU wrote ("spewed") again, up above?:
....the LM stuff was done in Building 9....
What is "Building 9"? Why, it's in the Johnson Space Center complex (JSC) as it's called now. Originally the "MSC". (I don't think Johnson was dead
yet, in 1969??)
In Building 9, at the Space Vehicle Mockup Facility, visitors can see a full-size model of the first and only reusable spacecraft ever
built � the Space Shuttle. Also housed in Building 9 are the full-size modules of the International Space Station, a U.S.- led, international
project involving five space agencies and 16 nations in the most complex engineering project ever undertaken.
What utter bunk (and I think that YOU know this! Why do you keep on, making yourself look silly like that???)
Or, have you forgotten the old threads on ATS that have already covered, explained and dismissed those "blue smudges" seen in some images?
Must I hunt down the threads??
Puppet on a String?
And??? It was for the IMAX movie!! Ever see it? (Now we're getting back to my earlier mention, the videos).
Do you know ANYTHING about movie making? About the length of the average shot? The amount of film (if done on film) that one camera can hold, and
therefore the maximum length of any one take?? About cutting (editing) the takes to achieve the final, finished result??
Did you see any signs of editing, in ANY of the Apollo EVA videos?? Did you ever see Apollo EVA videos that went on and on, uncut? It doesn't happen
like that, in real film making. They flub takes, and have to re-set, do it over, and over and over again, sometimes. THEN, they take the best of
those takes, and edit as needed, to get the results the director wants. (Besides being a pilot, I'm a film buff, as one of my many hobbies....)
Oh, and Apollo EVA scenes that went long; long beyond film camera capacity, did so because they were using the video camera, with the live feed to
Houston. And putting that to videotape.
Still on Apollo EVA videos, the Rover when underway are the best evidence that the Apollo "hoax" believers are washed up. This is only 35 seconds
long, but when watching, can anyone see how friggin' BIG this alleged "studio" is??:
Let's see....if we use a round 10 KPH as travel speed, for 35 seconds, I get somewhere around 95 meters or so travelled. AND, the hills in the far,
far distance? Because they are many kilometers off, the parallax changes are virtually ZERO. As you would expect.
The "studio" that they were using, in that and ALL Apollo Lunar EVA videos and stills?? That "studio" has a surface area of about 37.9 million square
kilometers, and an unlimited ceiling height...actually, no ceiling at all!! And, for about two weeks at a time, a constant VERY bright single source
of light, that is constant (gradual) motion. Of course, then that source is "off" for another two weeks, before it comes back "on" again. Meanwhile,
depending on your location (Lunar hemisphere) there is an alternate, less bright light source that remains fixed in the sky, relative view...it's is
called "Earth". (Millions of smaller, less significant lights too, but we can ignore those....) The "studio" in question??? We call it the
"Moon".......

Yes, because you paid close attention. Many others might not....the implications seem evident to mislead, a bit, with the selectiveness in the post,
yes?
Title says "Moon Shuttle" ("shuttle" implies people onboard, right?). Yet, the article is about the Virgin Galactic SUB-ORBITAL tourist trips.
Only. (It was NOT written by "zorgon", though...let's be clear. The actual author is to blame for misleading....)
See?
The $30M "X"-prize is, as you noted, about the unmanned rover, and the stated rules to win the prize.
