Please can anyone claiming they used wires to hoist astronauts identify:
1) the harnesses
2) the wires
3) the guys operating the pulleys that moved the wires and harness
4) How they edited this out of the continuous footage of lunar EVA's, especially the live broadcasts.
As a helpful aid, here are photographs of an astronaut in the harness they used to actually help them train:

They edited the wires, etc. first, and simply said it was live footage being shown to us.
You've assumed it was live footage, so editing out wires, etc. would be impossible. We'd find evidence of any such wires, etc. in the footage, but we don't.
You assume we landed men on the moon. You assume these men filmed it, too. Assume the footage was also beamed back to Earth. Assume that we watched it all unfold in real time, on our TV sets.
No go.
First of all, the camera wasn't Edgar Mitchell's to sell.

choos, you haven't figured out my strategy? I don't need to prove anything to you 100%. All I need to do is chip away at the mythology of Apollo until the columns collapse and the temple of Apollo worship will fall apart under it's own weight.
Speaking of weight, your Apollo boys dumped the Hasselblad cameras on the surface of the "moon" because they were too heavy to bring back to Earth. That's the official story. How heavy were the cameras, choos? Not so heavy that Ed Mitchell couldn't sneak one back to earth, am I right? And NASA went spastic when they found out Mitchell was trying to sell that camera. What has NASA got to hide with the cameras, choos?
These Hasselblad cameras are the same cameras which had reseau pattern plates in them. These the same 'fiducials' that even now Arizona State University is busy photoshopping. It's another pillar of Apollo that has been kicked over and crushed into tiny bits. Yet, you will defend photoshopping Apollo images, because you are an Apollo Defender. You require 100% proof well there is your proof, image manipulations by NASA/ASU.

When Mitchell "stole" NASA's camera by bringing it back to Earth... it represents a security protocol violation for NASA's ongoing program to cover up Nixon's Apollo. If I were faking Apollo, the first thing I would be doing is to control all access to evidence. In the same manner, the JFK evidence and the RFK evidence and the MLK evidence has been controlled evidence. In the same manner, moon rocks and Apollo negatives are controlled evidence.

The image that OBMonkey uses for his "proof" of Apollo, AS12-50-7362, comes from Magazine Q and there are some problems already with Magazine Q because some of the images from Magazine Q are not available on the server. And just look at all those fouled up windows. It makes taking good pictures a little more difficult when there is only 1 clean window to shoot from.

"..17, if you want to take a minute, you might want to look up in the sky and notice that our camera is taking a beautiful picture of mother Earth...isn't that a beautiful picture of the Pacific there? Ed finally found it

are you able to explain why then that the mythbusters attempt falls at a faster rate than john young??

The 'unavailable' images you seem to think are important are described in the photography index as:
"Underexposed frames of no use, probably of Earth"
The 'probably of Earth' statement is presumable based on the fact that all the photos either side of these underexposed frames are of Earth. While the astronauts had extensive training and often specific instructions on camera settings for certain types of shot, It was quite common during the missions for whoever was taking photographs to try a range of exposure and f-stop settings.
As these frames are unavailable, you can't say what is in them. The easiest thing to have done there if there was something to hide was pretend they never existed. There are several such examples throughout the missions

Thought I explained this already, but to clarify it further...
He "falls" at a faster rate than Young, in this example.
So you believe he must always fall faster than Young? You think he cannot fall at the same rate as Young? You don't think he could fall slower than Young, either?
It is easy - using wires/pulleys. A person can be sent downward to the ground a bit slower, to perfectly match up with Young's descent. Or sent down a lot slower than Young.
A system of wires/pulleys would allow for you to control it.
Makes sense, right?
037:58:19 Conrad: Houston, if you haven't got anything to do down there, how about telling us where - what longitude line the terminator of the Moon is on.
037:59:40 Bean: Roger. We're getting close enough to the Moon now so that, even with the - the monocular, the Moon looks a lot like these photographs that you see taken from many of the observatories that are around the center. We were looking at it through the sextant a minute ago, and it really looks spectacular. It's starting to take on less of a silver color and more of a gray color when you look at it up close.
038:06:24 Carr: That terminator longitude is between 7 and 8 degrees east. Over.

how were they able to edit out the wires?? what is this film editing technique that you people seem to know that no one in the 60's knew about??
and pre filming would run into the case of predicting a hurricane.. which would mean they would need a time machine..
The photographs of Earth taken bu Apollo astronauts show images of Earth that can only have been taken when and where they have always been claimed: on the way to, back from, or on the surface of the moon. The reason this is the case is because of the configuration of Earth's land masses and terminator line in the images, and of the weather systems visible.
Try discussing that.
rotate and crop, adjust the brightness levels to reveal some more detail and compare it with what Stellarium says the Moon should have looked like:

It's supposed to be on the moon, so who cares about hurricanes? Is this off-topic, or?
As for editing techniques in the 60's, they were doing such editing years before Apollo came along. I posted a 50's sci-fi flick awhile back, in which they edited out wires. I can look for it, if you'd like.
Better yet, look at Kubrick's "2001", it shows that we had the required techniques / special effects...before Apollo 11.
But you seem to think editing wires wasn't possible in the Apollo-era, right? If so, tell me when it became do-able?
SayonaraJupiter
I'm not convinced that AS12-50-7362 (served from a .gov server) should be compared to the lo-res newspaper scans that you are presenting as comparison objects.
Why is AS12-50-7362 better than AS12-50-7361 for your argument? Does your argument hinge on those blurry newspaper scans? This is why I am not convinced.

No it just shows you have no clue how the pulleys work so let me tell you If i have a hundred pounds i want to take off an actor i run a pulley up over and down to them one end you attach the astronaut the other 100 lbs of weight.This hundred pounds of weight has to be suspended in the air at least as high as you want the subject to jump. So now my question if they matched the weight difference between the moon and earth remeber i explained this earlier. but will go through it quickly in order to match the jump on earth being the moon has less gravity. Myth busters used a pulley rig which they use in movies being stunt men and all. so lets say he weighed 200 lbs his weight on the moon would be 33.2lbs. Heres some simple math we then deduct 33.2 from 200 and we get 166.4 lbs. So to simulate gravity they now have to put 166.4 lbs on the other end of the pulley. Well they got it right when he jumps it exactly matches the apollo video. But Now comes in the problem the rate of fall will be different even though the lunar astronaut and are earth astronaut both weigh 33.2 lbs on earth gravity is greater making it fall back to the ground quicker. Now the funniest part is this is an assignment used in physics when teachers try to explain gravity. They make students do the calculations showing how the difference in speed shows reduced gravity. Unfortunately looks like you have never taken physics or calculus so you dont understand the math but if you like i can post it for you.
So in order to perform the feat you want they would have to change out the weights in mid air in the middle of his jump at exactly the right moment. Since they couldnt do that the person on earth falls at a rate of 9.81 m/s2 as shown in the video. while on the moon they fall at 1.62 m/s². This is why the lunar astronaut takes longer to hit the ground. So in other words your lack of math leads you to believe the impossible.

everything falls at the same speed regardless of mass in a vacuum.. you can have a feather fall exactly the same speed as a brick on earth in a vacuum..
these ropes are only changing the persons WEIGHT the ropes do not change MASS.
