They are creating an illusion. I realize they can't get the entire Earth in LEO. They are using the window. It becomes entirely exposed as they take whatever they have on the window off and the window glows blue. They are in LEO. I don't see how this can be debated.

I'm sorry but the astronauts were lying in that video. They stated they were up against the window filming the Earth when they weren't. This was exposed when someone walked in between the camera and window (there shouldn't have been the space to do this) and when the lights came on and the person filming was a ways back from the circular window. They lied and this was proven. The enormous blue glare that filled the entire window would not be possible at 130k out.
edit to add: apparently today the word "window" will give you an "_" for some odd reason. I've seen it in a few responses.edit on 31-3-2014 by cestrup because: (no reason given)

So this is one of four videos? Apparently not the same as the one I was talking about.

"the Apollo 11 crew made not one, but FOUR television broadcasts during the coast phase of their alleged voyage to the moon. According to the Spacecraft Films DVD, the first one was filmed at 10:32GET (Ground Elapsed Time); the second was filmed at 30:28GET; the third at 33:59GET; and the fourth was filmed at 55:08GET. The first, third and forth broadcasts were all a continuous video with no edits. But the second video (the one where the earth clearly disappears behind the window), is just a jumble of random interior and exterior shots"
Seems a bit like a production. I realize this notion is not possible to people whom adamently defend Apollo but the people that would be behind faking this, if it were, would be very precise IMO. I mean, you can fool a man on the other side of a television or radio. It's been done before. The fact that Buzz and Neil stated they were up against the window, when they weren't - should present to many that they were in the process of a production where they are leading the viewer one way, yet doing something completely opposite.edit on 31-3-2014 by cestrup because: (no reason given)

...and here's where you stray into opinion rather than fact. You haven't shown us anything that looks like proof for what you're arguing. You can very easily fool someone on the other side of a camera - ask Bart Sibrel, Bill Kaysing, Jarrah White, or any of the other fraudsters out there who are relying on your lack of knowledge about the Apollo missions to fool you.

I've never tried to state this is anything other than my opinion. I'll take a look at your site though, buddy (I already have BTW and you've put in quite a bit of work). But like I said - if this were a production I'd expect it to be quite meticulous in attempting to be "genuine"

Correct. The fraudsters who made this video purporting that they never left LEO based there ENTIRE theory on the fact that there is a blue glare that fills the window. They then twisted, manipulated, and cherry-picked the evidence in order to support that idea. I find it telling that they ignored all of the other evidence that showed they were NOT in LEO, but were actually in a trans-lunar trajectory far from Earth.
I can't be sure exactly why the people pushing this hoax theory would choose to ignore the evidence that does NOT support their claim, but one of the only reasons I can think of is that they are being intentionally disingenuous about their claims.

I don't think the idea of putting a stencil cut-out in a window of a craft in LEO hoping to fool people into thinking it was a far-off Earth in the window is very "meticulous".

I went and read your debates on the old "Aussie Whips.." thread (link in your sig). Very impressive and I tend to side with you. It all seems so fabricated IMO. I'm not completely shut off to men walking on the moon but the more I dig into it; it becomes more clear. Especially the video of the astronauts in LEO but were claiming to being 130,000mi out using a window to portray an earth from near lunar orbit. I mean, WTF? Armstrong is even stating to be 130k out when it's totally obvious they're using trickery.
That video gets it completely wrong on that one.
You can't get an entire Earth in shot from LEO - it's not possible. You have to be waaaaay out in space to do that.

You don't happen to know the title of this video, do you? I appreciate taking his info on the subject as well as the apollo supporters.

Over the past few months I have received many emails from people asking me to comment on various videos uploaded by the pro-NASA side. Specifically; they ask me how can the Apollo 11 views of earth be a transparency over the window (as stated by Bart Sibrel and David Percy) when one shot shows the earth vanishing behind the window. I explained this way back in 2007, but unfortunately it seem the propagandists' misrepresentation of the footage continues to this day. I am also asked how NASA got the cloud formations right if these videos were faked. Apparently the clouds formations seen in these telecasts are similar to those seen by weather satellites.
Firstly: the Apollo 11 crew made not one, but FOUR television broadcasts during the coast phase of their alleged voyage to the moon. According to the Spacecraft Films DVD, the first one was filmed at 10:32GET (Ground Elapsed Time); the second was filmed at 30:28GET; the third at 33:59GET; and the fourth was filmed at 55:08GET. The first, third and forth broadcasts were all a continuous video with no edits. But the second video (the one where the earth clearly disappears behind the window), is just a jumble of random interior and exterior shots. The astronauts don't even appear in the same shot as the earth vanishing behind the window. In fact, if you actually watch these in-flight television transmissions closely, you'll notice that the astronauts are never in the same shot as the earth. The camera always blacks out or cuts away between interior and exterior shots. In the film industry, this is called "smoke and mirrors". Anyways, long story short, Bart Sibrel and also David Percy discussed the 10:32GET and 33:59GET telecasts in their respective documentaries. These are the two broadcasts that they say where filmed with a transparency.
In response to the transparency claim, the 30:28GET telecast has been flogged by members of the pro-NASA side over and over again as though all four videos were the same telecast! And not once do they reveal that it is in fact an edited video.
For the record, I believe that these videos in which the "earth" disappears behind the window were filmed in a CSM mockup with an accurate globe on the outside.
At the request of a certain Youtube user who has been confused by the pro-NASA side's representation of these videos, I am uploading all four from start to finish.
Secondly: As stated above, these videos have been compared with photos of earth taken by weather satellites in orbit at the time. Naturally, the pro-NASA side has been quick to call this "evidence". This trait is typical among propagandists: they present a piece of data or video that they don't know how to fake, and they assume that anything they don't know how to fake must be evidence that Apollo was real. Considering that NASA had many weather satellites in orbit long before and during Apollo, and that meteorologists had been using such satellite photographs to predict cloud formations and thus make forecasts for the week's weather, I'd say that's how NASA was able to get the cloud positions right in these videos.
Thirdly: I have also been asked why Sibrel says the telecasts that NASA sent him were "classified" when they are available on the Spacecraft Films DVD set. The footage that Sibrel received carried this title card: "This film of the Apollo 11 Mission was produced as a report film by THE MANNED SPACECRAFT CENTER and is not for general public distribution." Furthermore, NASA sent Sibrel this footage in 2000. Spacecraft Films published their copy of it in 2002. It seems to me that NASA decided to declassify this footage after Sibrel leaked it!
