Cracking Apollo is quite literally about patriotism, about copping to folly and becoming something better, something more honest, something more true, something more self respectful.

Only a deceitful, America hating, self loathing coward would refuse to strike a blow for Truth, Justice and the American Way by declining to expose Apollo fraudulence in a formal debate in the Debate Forum. Right, decisively? Are we on?
A couple of interesting and important points to be made here. The first point is an absolute; were someone to hit the CM with an argon laser here, hit it at a moment such as Jim Irwin is describing there in his book, a moment where the laser would emit from a black Earth background, the laser would be seen without question. It could not be denied under such a circumstance.
Assuming a Poisson distribution of the recorded photoelectrons, the returns correspond to an average of 1.6 detectable photoelectrons per shot.
Not an absolute, but perhaps even all the more interesting; How bright would cities look from space "at night" by 1971 ? Perhaps we can bust Irwin's chops flat out here. He is saying the Earth looked black. With no other light but that of the stars, a thin crescent of earthshine, and city lights. Could the latter have been seen ? Should they have been seen ? Can we bust Irwin's chops here ?
The images were taken by a Defense Meteorological Satellite Program’s (DMSP) Operational Linescan System (OLS). This network of satellites was originally designed to pick up on lunar illumination reflecting off of clouds at night* in order to aid nighttime aircraft navigation. What the Air Force discovered is that on evenings when there was a new moon, the satellites were sensitive enough to record the illumination from city lights. Over a period of several new moons, the data the satellites retrieved could be pieced together to produce a global image of city lights.

Not sure what you are trying to imply.
FYI, I am of the opinion that Apollo was a cover for U.S. efforts to place military equipment on the moon and elsewhere. If you are suggesting "Apollo was real" because look at all of this hardware, you would get no argument from me there. That is exactly what I would expect, hardware in earth orbit, on the moon, in libration points.
My view is that Apollo was a cover for US efforts as regards surveillance, reconnaissance, ICBM tracking/targeting/performance, Dyna-Soar development, MOL development.
In a more immediate sense, do you see a problem with my point here, H. David Reed has no idea where the Eagle is ? Why don't they tell him the landing coordinates ? He needs them to launch the Eagle. They gave the coordinates, the EXACT coordinates, to Joseph Wampler at Lick Observatory. I of course have much more to say, tip of the iceberg here as mentioned, but don't you have a problem with this already ? They seem to not know where their spaceship is, but at the same time, they told some people exactly where it was.edit on 4-5-2012 by decisively because: capsedit on 4-5-2012 by decisively because: added ?edit on 4-5-2012 by decisively because: capsedit on 4-5-2012 by decisively because: spelling
In sum, as it turns out, they launched the Apollo 11 Saturn V on 07/16/1969 without the slightest idea whatsoever how they ultimately would first find the Eagle, then launch the Eagle, and then bring it back. Utterly preposterous.
.....the official story tells us that before Apollo 11 was launched, NO ONE HAD ANY IDEA HOW ONCE LANDED , WHEREVER IT LANDED, THE EAGLE COULD BE FOUND AND LAUNCHED TO FIND COLLINS IN THE COLUMBIA.
Per Reed, the technique was BORN IN THE FIRES OF REAL TIME MISSION CONTROL.
Never done before. Reed again;
"This technique, born in the fires of real time mission control would subsequently be used in all remaining flights as standard procedure."
Love your creative spirit Pervius , perhaps you are correct, but I always say, "why send a man to do a robot's job?" , less risk ya' know.
There was no confusion, none at all.
