Lovell and Shepard Star Sighting Contradiction Proves Navigation Bogus and Apollo Inauthenticity

reply to post by decisively


houston needs to keep track of all torquing angles, it requires apollo 14 to read all angles back to houston for course corrections. houston knows the last attitude of the craft and knows the location of all the stars..

and houston can adjust the IMU, houston will know where the IMU is pointing at all times this is the whole purpose of the PNGS and AGS systems, it also knows what the platform is and whether it is valid or not, houston also knows exactly where the stars are.

now if houston knows the IMU, the platform, the star location.. what makes you think they cannot confirm if the computer is pointing at the correct star or not?

they do regular IMU alignments for a reason.

So why would they need to sight the stars visually if they were "really" testing automatic sensors for SLBMs? I believe this would be the appropriate thread to discuss this on. Either that, or the Debate Forum.
