< snip > how about you explaining how the greatest country in the world couldn't muster up a few AV leads, and insisted the networks take second hand footage off a projector eh?
And while your at it, explain why they faked this footage, if in face they could have just filmed it if in fact they could have gone to the moon.
A moon mission is very different, can't be tested independently to verify it, etc.

A Moon Landing is not some sort of generalized principle that needs to be confirmed by repeated experiment; it is an historical event. As such, it is subject not to scientific standards of evidence, but historical standards of evidence. As it is, both the scientific data collected and the historical documentation support each other.
That's so ridiculous. It is subject to the same scientific standards of evidence as anything else. No matter how significant or historic ithe event, it must stand up or else it falls by applying the same standards.
It's never been done in 40+ years since then.

But it was done every few months over a period of three years! In any event, your premise is completely fallacious. No-one has built the Eiffel Tower in 100+ years, therefore the Eiffel Tower cannot exist.
But the difference is
We don't want to build another Eiffel Tower, but we can build it.
We want to go to the moon, but we cannot. And every excuse in the book cannot change that fact .

Correction: we do not want to go back to the Moon badly enough. We have the technological know how to do it, but it is extremely costly. There is insufficient motivation to undertake a manned program when unmanned spacecraft are just as effective and less expensive. And all the empty rhetoric in the world cannot change that fact.

Why do ATS Moderators give such trashy immatue comments such as this one is a pass? Beyond me!
Anyway, just for his enlightenment: (why do I even waste good energy?) The so-called 'Apollo landings' were nothing but a series of psy-op tele-hoaxes that laid the groundwork for all of the more recent false flag events perpetrated by the Bush/Obama team.
So DJW001...........APOLLO WAS A TELE-HOAX and you fell for the scam. That one and the many others that followed. Along with the many serious minded researchers here on ATS - I laugh - I guffaw

It certainly doesn't have the usual hallmarks of trashy, ranting, or immature posts...things like frequent misspellings, random capitalization, or snide digs at other posters. Maybe I'm missing something (being one of those unenlightened folks who actually has done all the math, studied the engineering, and believes that the moon landings actually did happen), but the post you're up in arms about certainly doesn't seem objectionable to me. *shrug*

You fail to understand the difference between scientific and historical methods. It is claimed that on June 6, 1944, 156,000 men were transported across the English Channel and landed on beaches in Normandy under heavy enemy fire. This is absurd on the face of it, and the feat has never been duplicated in seventy years. By your reasoning, D-Day never happened, right? Do you see the fallacy here?

Yes, I do see the fallacy - of your analogy.
D-Day was not considered a technological achievement like Apollo was. D-Day was essentially a logistical achievement. This is a significant difference which you ignore.
D-Day was observed first hand by many, many people - as it happened, while Apollo was an event we saw on TV.. That is another significant difference you ignore.
Here's the most significant difference you ignore...
We;ve never tried to duplicate D-Day, while we HAVE tried to duplicate Apollo. .

Could you clarify that statement. I'm not aware of anyone who has attempted a manned mission to the moon (duplicate apollo) since the Apollo program ended.
Yes, I do see the fallacy - of your analogy.

You have the gall to accuse me of absurd arguments, after this display of blatant cherry-picking!!

Speaking of fallacies....
D-Day was not considered a technological achievement like Apollo was. D-Day was essentially a logistical achievement. This is a significant difference which you ignore.
Actually, both the D-Day landings and the lunar landings were, in their own ways, triumphs of engineering, rather than technological advancement. In the case of Apollo, the liquid fueled rocket engine certainly wasn't new, nor was inertial or celestial navigation. Digital computers weren't new, pressure suits weren't new. What *was* new was the scale of the undertaking. The basic technologies for a lunar mission had existed (in some cases) for the better part of 50 years.
D-Day was observed first hand by many, many people - as it happened, while Apollo was an event we saw on TV.. That is another significant difference you ignore.
"We", meaning you and I (assuming you're old enough) saw Apollo on television, true enough. On the other hand, there were hundreds of people watching Apollo with optical and radio instrumentation. Both events had a direct audience numbering in the thousands.
Here's the most significant difference you ignore...
We;ve never tried to duplicate D-Day, while we HAVE tried to duplicate Apollo. .
We never tried to duplicate D-Day? You *must* be joking. I'll use Wikipedia to save time on this one.
European Theater:
Operation Switchback - 9 Oct 1944
Operation Vitality - 24 Oct 1944
Operation Infatuate - 1 November 1944
Operation Dragoon - 15 August 1944
This one gets bonus points for being kicked off by a parachute infantry drop!
Operation Forager - June - November 1944
Multiple duplications of D-Day during Forager...Guam, Saipan, and Tinain are significant to me because I had relatives involved.
I could keep going...we executed amphibious landings in the Korean and Vietnam wars as well, but I thought that might be belaboring the point.
