It's from that jackass Bart Sibrel's movie A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Moon.

The levitation technology is called rockets, they work quite well in zero atmosphere. The problems with VTOLs are they are just jet engines, with a fraction of the thrust and have to work from ground, or sea level where the atmosphere is thickest. Besides, the lunar landers didn't make any incredible maneuvers, they just slowed the craft to land, quite simple with 1/6th earth gravity and no atmosphere.
but rather pointing out the complexity of the Lunar Lander's maneuvers, and how nothing we have today could match it whether it be rocket or jet powered.

In other words there was no way to practice these maneuvers in any realistic way for the Astronauts, so they would be completely winging it.

because for the life of me I cannot find conclusive proof that anyone landed on the moon.
Here is a picture showing the locations of alleged moon landing sites:

Can anyone please provide me with high resolution photos of the sites showing NASA artifacts left behind?
And please no grainy 0.5 megapixel crap.
I mean we have google earth, google sky even google mars...why the hell don't we have a high resolution google moon app??? This reeks of a conspiracy to me.
A thought occured to me earlier today; the infamous shot of an American astronaut hitting a golf ball on the moon. What was the temperature on the moon that day. If the temperature was really cold like -100 C or colder wouldn't the golf ball have been so brittle that it shattered into hundreds of pieces?? Anyone remember their highschool science teacher dipping a balloon into liquid nitrogen and then shattering the ballon like glass all over the floor???
If it were to be proven that the moon landings were hoaxes, wouldn't this be one of the greatest lies of all time??

According to Here:
No Fly Zone

Do your legs get longer as gravity decreases?

Well, the same thing is with the space flights.
Do you know how much fuel does it take to get 1 kg to the orbit ?
Can you imagine how much would take to get it to the Moon ?
How much would it take to get a golf club, those vehicles with their heavy batteries,
and all the other crap they allegedly took to the Moon ?
How much would it take to get tons of rocks from the Moon ?
How much fuel would it take to carry that fuel needed for carrying that crap ?
Yes, they were carrying loads of # there and back, no problem with that.
All of this, if there was a propulsion system that could get anything outside Earth's orbit.
Yes, THERE IS NO PROPULSION SYSTEM KNOWN TO MEN THAT CAN GET HIM
ANYWHERE OUTSIDE EARTH'S ORBIT !
Even if the rocket system works, one would have to refuel numerous times till Moon.
Yes, all the Mars missions are fake.
There are no satellites orbiting anything except Earth's orbit.
There is no Milky Way.
You would have to go outside the Milky Way in order to see it.
You can't determine that you are in something by looking from inside of it.
Any picture of something in space is either photographed from the Earth or it is a fake.
And most of them are fake.
In order to look at something far far far away you would need incredibly incredibly incredibly
precise mechanism for moving the telescope to compensate the Earth's rotation.
Yes, that exists but it is not that precise to allow you to fix on something that is too far away.
As for the people "believing" in Moon landing,
I just can't believe that someone SO stupid exists,
so I incline to think that they are shills,
instead of idiots,
but if they are persistent, they might prove me wrong.

Testing in vacuum chambers; unmanned flights with test equipment on board. Also keep in mind that 8 years passed between the first man in space and the moon landing, so there was time for development, improvement, and safeguards to be developed.
Without sounding arguementative,How would they have known to test for a vacuum?
This is why i mention the probability of nasa being helped by other intelligences.
I fully agree with the idea of improvements being made during regular orbits, and the landing on the moon.
Practise Makes Perfect.
But unlike normal events, this had to be perfect without practise!!!
As i said, The Moon will always be No.1 Debate Material.
Personally, i think weve been there and back on hundreds of occasions. Maybe even other planets.
Just not with conventional rockets and fuel.
There are probably a few things missing from the complete periodic table, to the ones we are shown.

You don't burn fuel all the way to anywhere in space including the moon. You burn fuel to push off and depending on how far you have to go and where you're are going is how long you have to push off for. Once you're on your way to your desired velocity you cann the rockets or else you'll end up going faster than you want and overshoot your target or burn up more fuel than you wanted in order slow down. So you only need enough fuel to start, slow down, stop start again and then slow down and stop or slow down and re enter.
