I am also a firm believe that the Moon is occupied.
See, we do have something in common...
But this video is a hoax, I'm almost sure. The yt poster's history is not out there, it's waaaaay out there...
That's a first flag.
The video about the moon landings is CGI.
Second flag.
The video you have provided for inquiry is very similar to the one where we see the CGI effect at 1:06...
I could be wrong and remain open minded but I won't hold my breath. I'll wait and see what other members contribute.

And what does "How they are fake is irrelevant?" Really?
Is it faked or misunderstood?
Not sure why you think your humble opinion supersedes explainable mechanics?
I sure hope you're not in the educational field.

You can't see the far side of the moon from earth.
It's tidally locked to us so we see the same side all the time. (give or take a few degrees of latitude, depending on the cycle.)edit on 16-9-2012 by AlphaHawk because: (no reason given)
One would think though, if you're going to go through all the trouble to hoax the audience, you'd dot all your I's and cross all your T's and make sure (something as stupid as the phase of the Moon) won't trip you up.
My thought is: can you use a filter on a new Moon and illuminate it?
The 'new' Moon is actually the dark side of the Moon which is facing us (much to the chagrin of those who don't think the Moon rotates. Because it DOES), so is this the dark side? I can't tell.

What are you talking about?????
The far (dark) side is exposed to us when it's a new Moon. The dark side appears dark to us that's why we STILL can't see it.
Why doesn't every one realize this???????????
It's so basic.
It's so simple.
It's so 5th grade-ish.
The Moon rotates but it's timed in a tidal lock so it's rotating at the same speed as it's orbiting us.
Good gawd I wish I didn't have to go into this every other month on here.
Someone please....help me to help them.
The. Moon. Rotates.

Illuminate the Moon? From Earth? With.... a.......?

The "Dark side" is not constant. Near side and far side are constant.

We don't see the "dark side" on a new moon.
We only see basically one side as illustrated above, with phases.

Please answer me this and ONLY this. Please.
It's a new Moon right now.
What side of the Moon is facing us?
Answer just this one question. Your choice is
1) the far side
2) the Face
Thanks!
The Moon's rotation and orbital periods are both just under four weeks, so no matter when the Moon is observed from the Earth the same hemisphere of the Moon is always seen.
However, your "sheesh" and "should have put my cyber-armor on" indicate that you got offended instead?
