Not all the imagery in Google Earth comes from satellites. A lot of the imagery comes from aerial photographers mostly in airplanes with special high resolution cameras. Some of the imagery even comes from kites and balloons. Google acquires imagery from a variety of providers.

How was it done, then? The journalists in Mission Control were watching the ground crew talking to the astronauts. Are you suggesting that everyone in the building was flawlessly miming along to pre-recorded footage for hours on end and nobody noticed? Not one error, not one fluffed cue?

In isolation, then yes I'm sure you could create some elaborate set-up to replicate a 1/6g pendulum. But that clip doesn't exist in isolation. It wasn't a deliberate experiment - it was a chance occurrence of the tape falling out and being set into motion, and is part of the continuous footage from that camera. View it as part of the uninterrupted footage - where are the fans being pulled into position? Where are the motors? You clearly have no clue what you are looking at.

I'm not ignoring it. You are taking a photo of astronauts in zero g on the VC and claiming that is what 1/6g looks like. What does that prove other than that you are incapable of reading?

The Vomit Comet was not well-known, until recently.
But here's the important point - NASA said that the Vomit Comet creates a 0g environment, which is used to train astronauts. However, it also creates a 1/6g environment. Did NASA mention it, you think?
If they did, I'd like you to show me where.
What about showing me NASA's footage of true 1/6g inside the Vomit Comet? Does it even exist?
No. You said, below the image....
"mercury astronauts from 1959 in the vomit comet.. still think back in the day they didnt know what true 1/6g should look like?"
You are not referring to 0g here. You are referring to true 1/6g
Again, I'll ask...
Show me ANY images of Apollo astronauts who are "floating" above the (supposed) true 1/6g lunar surface, like the Mercury astronauts in true 1/6g - inside the Vomit Comet.

Of course, everyone knew the astronauts were on the moon, because they were talking to them! They wouldn't POSSIBLY have been able to talk to anyone in the next building, or something, right?
You know it was a "chance" occurrence, because they said it was, I suppose?
You are missing the point. Whether it was chance or not doesn't matter. It was filmed as part of an unbroken sequence showing the unloading of equipment. There is no edit point where they could have brought in the fans and motors you claim they would have had to use. It's continuous footage.

Below the image it says...

Are you incapable of reading? It seems you are.
It mentions 1/6g , but not 0g.
Do you see that? I hope so.

But if you applied the same level of critical thinking to any hoax "evidence" as you have done to real evidence on this thread, you would soon see that the missions couldn't have been faked. The amount of scrutiny you applied to my calculations on the PLSS, to give one example — any hoax theory would collapse under 10% of that questioning.
I'm puzzled that you still can't see that. You're clearly no fool and yet you are only questioning one side of the argument.

NASA didn't need to create a 'true 1/6g' environment, because we didn't know what true 1/6g looked like. As well, a true 1/6g would've been much harder to do, and far more expensive. All for nothing, too. So that's what they did.
If wires got tangled up, they just stop the filming, fix the wires. Take 2. Action...

Anyone able to speak yet, on how true 1/6g shows Apollo was a fraud?

You wont find any astronauts being able to do the things they were supposed to be able to do on the moon
The results of this study must be treated as preliminary inasmuch as all tests were performed under conditions that could be described as ideal insofar as lunar operations are concerned; that is, the temperature was moderate, lighting was excellent, the walking surface was hard and consistent, generally adequate cooling and moisture removal from the suit were provided, and the subject was not required to carry his life-support system.

The life-support system (PLSS) for Apollo, worn as a backpack, has a mass of approximately 61kg, which is 134lb on Earth. That might cramp anyone's gymnastic style.
