Your images of Hurricane Bernice match up so perfectly, and that's the problem.
Look at time-lapse satellite images - the weather patterns continually change - hour-by-hour, each and every single day.
But weather patterns never changed that one miraculous day, back in 1969!
I suppose you'll tell me it was taken at the very same time, yet another of Apollo's amazing coincidences.

What hes not getting across to you is this to fake moon gravity They have to reduce the amount of weight of our astronaut. The moons gravity is 5/6ths less then earth or percentage wise 83.3 percent less. To keep math simple our atronaut weighs exactly 200 lbs on the moon hed weigh in at 33.4 lbs. Meaning i have to make a pulley system that takes away 166.6lbs to get him to jump as high.Great we just made sure our earth bound astronaut can jump as high as he could on the moon. Now comes the problem Earths gravity is still higher and an object on earth is going to fall faster then an object on the moon so even though our astronauts now weigh the same the gravity effecting them is different pulling our earth bound astronaut down slightly faster. The only way to correct for this is again take more weight off the astronaut on earth.This would allow him to jump higher and thus take longer to hit the surface. But then you would see he jumped alot higher into the air.
This is why you cant use pullies and ropes to simulate gravity and have it work when examined on film because we have college students that do exactly that in fact i had to in a physics class. We had to figure out the height and force used in jump simple way to get one to understand the math and try to make it interesting.

Conveniently you ignored the point he was making on how the Russians would have known it was faked and would have told the entire planet. They tracked the Apollo spacecraft In fact not only tracked it tried to beat it to the moon in there rush they crashed there spacecraft into the moon, Only hours before Apollo 11 landed.edit on 10/19/13 by dragonridr because: (no reason given)

so what you are saying is that NASA engineered hurricane bernice??

You say it's not possible to simulate a 1/6 g jump by using wires (or ropes/pullies), because it can't simulate the descent with accuracy. It is a little bit 'faster' than a real 1/6 g descent would be.
Is that about it?
You base the argument on...what? The video?
A comparison of two jumps. A jump supposedly done on the moon, compared to a jump done on a 'Mythbusters' episode.
We know the 'Mythbusters' jump uses wires. It is merely slowed down to 67% speed, and then compared to the 'moon' jump.
The result is quite stunning. Why?
Because - the jump done by 'Mythbusters' was NOT EVEN MEANT TO REPLICATE A 'MOON' JUMP!!
You guys speak as if the jump was meant to replicate Young's jump - which only speaks to how amazing it is!

You conveniently ignored the fact of Russia being completely silent about JFK's murder, a few years before Apollo began.
That is historical precedent, you should know by now.

That's exactly what I'm saying, which is why I didn't say it. You know that I never say what I'm saying.
No, you just made it all up. As usual.
dragonridr
Well that makes no sense they hook him to wires use a slow motion camera and film him but you think they werent trying to replicate the moon video? Why did they dress him up in a space suit he had nothing else to wear?
dragonridr
This was sort of the purpose of the show they are called mythbusters you know. Now its not my fault you dont understand gravity and how it works but the higher the gravity the more it tries to pull you down to the object with gravity. The moon is smaller then earth so its gravity is less. The only way to replicate it is to reduce the gravity you will get an exact match. Making something lighter doesnt change the speed at which it falls.This has been know since Isaac Newton first conducted his experiments. This is also the reason the two videos dont match.
dragonridr
Really and why should they tell the Americans what happened if they even knew your logic is flawed. The soviets gain nothing by it and thats assuming they were even involved most likely they were not. I love it how people make up excuses in there head and go that makes sense wow. I strongly suggest you look in to the cold war and how the soviets were verry mad at the United States. See they saw democracy as a threat to communism. And they wanted to show the world communism is better so they went on a pr campaign claiming all kinds of things like how they invented electricity for example. Now knowing they didnt like the United states and took pleasure in humiliating them why do you think they would help them solve the JFK assassination doesnt make sense does it?

Ps after the fall of the Soviet Union the files for the KGB went up for sale and guess what they believed it was a lone gunman by the way might want to look in to that as well.edit on 10/19/13 by dragonridr because: (no reason given)

No, the reason the two videos don't match up perfectly is - as I said - because the Mythbusters jump was never intended to duplicate the 'moon' jump.
Is it your position that wires cannot hold up a person as long as Young was held up? Do you also believe wires cannot slow a person's descent to the exact same speed as Young's descent?
If this is your claim, which it seems to be, I'd like to know why it's not possible to suspend/descend a person using wires any longer than they suspended/descended the Mythbusters guy. I'm sure you have a really good reason(s) for such a claim, right?.....

Anyway, if you could post your sources for that, I'd like to see them.
choos
and so where were your sources for GCR's being able to make someone sick or even kill them in a week??
choos
jarrah white attempted to duplicate it.. and it has failed though.
what you dont understand is that they are meant to be same, since they reached the same height..
everything on the moon will fall at exactly the same acceleration regardless of its mass.. and so jarrah's video should have been the same which is just wasnt.

Well tje KGB had no proof of Kennedy's assassination in fact there whole theory was off the wall.They believed it was Johnsons administration that got Oswald to kill Kennedy in an attempt to frame the soviets because Oswald was supposed to be a communist sympathizer.But this was of little interest to the soviets other then blackmail if they could find proof.
