Which brings me to a question that intrigues me. Let's say, for the sake of debate, that Nixon had lost the 1968 election. If Hubert Humphrey was president in 1969, then how would Apollo have panned out, in your view? Let's not forget, the programme was already in full swing when Nixon was elected. So if Nixon's presidency was so key to the "Apollo hoax", what would they have done if he had lost?

The Conspiracy Theorists forum is pretty dead ????
You know better than that Rob.
For example, you are aware of the very well done in depth analysis of SayonaraJupiter concerning Nixon and Howard Hughes ?

The Vomit Comet shows true 1/6g...
www.sciencechannel.com...
They aren't even trying to jump high, and look what happens.
Their heads would hit the ceiling if they tried a real jump!
They are in true 1/6g . They appear to be almost floating, like in 0g. It is not at all like the Apollo astronauts.
Those people are wearing light everyday clothing! An EVA suit as worn by Apollo astronauts weighs 200lb on Earth. It has considerably more mass than I do! How high could you jump with a 200lb man on your back, even in lunar gravity?

No, you cannot measure the speed of the dust. It is not one object, it is thousands of micro-sized objects, sprayed over an area.
But if the first dust particle reaches point X at time A, and point Y at time B, then you can say what the average speed of the dust plume is. It doesn't matter if it is not the exact same speck of dust, just like you can measure the flow rate of a river without tracking every water molecule, or measure wind speed without knowing where each air molecule is.

Do the astronauts move around the same as the guys in the Vomit Comet - or not ?

Your argument might be valid, if that thread was in the Conspiracy Theorists forum. But it's not — it's in the Skunk Works. You know, the place for wacko theories where you don't have to supply any evidence.
Just the kind of attention to basic facts we've come to expect from hoaxers.

A true 1/6g environment - as shown with the Vomit Comet - would be much harder to fake, especially back then.
However, we had no idea what true 1/6g was, back in the day, right? How we'd move in 1/6g was completely unknown to us.
So NASA showed us how we move in 1/6g - not.

Ok, you mean the subdir. I don't think people bother in which subdir-forum a thread is placed. They are all part of the conspiracy theory forum.

So was Allen Bean the dumb one? He didn't even know about the VAB, or really anything for that matter and seemed to just improvise this interview. I would be willing to bet the farm that this man is lying through his pants during this entire interview. He 'd this one, folks
A 200 lb. suit on Earth....only weighs 33.33 lbs, in 1/6g!
A jump in this suit would probably reach close to the height of a jump without a suit, although I'm unable to prove it.

No, I'm basing what I think of Bean because of how he responds in this interview. He looks like a fool. What proof do you have that he edited this? It's direct answers to questions that he's responding to that I'm finding fault with. So, I don't care if Ronald McDonald was giving the interview - Bean is the culprit here.
Funny how if someone doesn't agree with you - you instantly take the stance of being more intelligent. Sorry for misspelling his name. Poor guy doesn't even know about the VAB. It's him you should be lashing at but he's a sacred cow, I understand.

I put my Jarrah White thread in the right forum as it was discussing a conspiracy theorist. Shame that forum is, as I said, pretty dead.

1) The spacesuits were lined with Aluminium as protection against radiation...
What was used in the Vizer???
What is see through and radiation proof that we can design & build???
2) They descended in a module, it's not a crater question either, these modules are still visible in Satelite photography...
What was used to take off???
If the modules are still there what was prepared to leave the Lunar surface???
3) They drove around in a fancy dune buggy...
Given the size of the module, and available capacity inside after counting people, equipment from scientific to edible, where did the buggy come from???
4) The famous first words, the small step & giant leap, were filmed by a camera mounted on the outside of the module...
How did this camera equipment survive the tremendous heat & radiation of the Van Allen Belt???
How did the lense not shatter during the exit of Earths atmosphere with such a velocity and friction???
The Saturn V third stage has boosted the stack into a very long, extended ellipse around Earth, the apogee of which is beyond the Moon's orbit. This trajectory has been arranged in such a way that the Moon will gravitationally intervene and cause the spacecraft to loop around its far side. Having left the vicinity of Earth, the Apollo 11 CSM (Command Service Module) now separates from the third stage. The conical shroud that protected the LM (Lunar Module) during launch splits into four panels which are jettisoned.

5) 40 billion dollar budget for the Apollo program in the 60s...
Would this be enough to stage something so elaborate, as well as silence those "in the know"!!!
If only the Astronauts, the camera man, the director and a few SS were "in the know", is a few billion enough for each to keep this up???
Could this be staged with a billion dollars of the 40b budget???
