im not even disputing that NASA cannot make 1/6g in the vomit comet.. the whole purpose of the vomit comet was to study the effects of different gravity..
it doesnt even matter whether or not the vomit comet was well known.. the things is is that NASA had use of it.. it doesnt make any sense for NASA to show the world a fake 1/6g at all, sometime in the future after apollo the world will know about the vomit comet..
and you would have me believe that the organisation that was able to hoax the moon landing and keep it secret for over 40 years are so shortsighted in hiding their own hoax??

To keep it secret over 40 years is not exactly "shortsighted", is it?
Apollo didn't have realistic-looking 1/6g.
It's not relevant to know why they did it, it only matters that they did.
The End.
So I'm guessing by reading that post that you believe Apollo was genuine?

Apollo was genuinely... a Howard Hughes/CIA production.
Nixon is the high stakes gambler and successful lawyer with all the Commie hating experience to get the job done for America. Go for lift-off, Nixon's Apollo!

no you are not understanding my point again..
if NASA had knowledge of the vomit comet, and knowing that in the future it would be open to the public..
why would they choose to show us a fake 1/6g environment?? that is shortsighted..
apollo does have realistic looking 1/6g its just that you refuse to acknowledge it due to your extreme prejudice, as shown by your last sentence (ie. its not relevent to know why they did it, it only matters that they did)
Why did Nixon gave out all of those tiny specks of moon rocks locked inside acrylic spheres? Because Nixon knew they were all fake specimens and Nixon knew that nobody would ever smash one open to check it out scientifically.

so not Nixon then?? have a change of heart again??
being a high stakes gambler..
why do you believe Nixon chose not to risk flying man to the moon??
Armstrong: "I thought we had a 90% chance of getting back safely to Earth on that flight but only a 50-50 chance of making a landing on that first attempt. There are so many unknowns on that descent from lunar orbit down to the surface that had not been demonstrated yet by testing and there was a big chance that there was something in there we didn't understand properly and we had to abort and come back to Earth without landing." www.theguardian.com...
Change of heart? Nope. I'm ready to claim this thread a victory for Apollo Reviewers.
Conspiracy lovers do tend to post their photos and videos as if they are somehow sensational new discoveries never before seen, when in fact they have mostly been public domain before most of them were born.

You say...
"apollo does have realistic looking 1/6g"
A Freudian slip, perhaps?
It is very obvious to see that Apollo is NOT in real 1/6g.
Not even close to it.
The reason(s) why don't matter.
I can only speculate on it...
NASA knew how people moved in a 1/6g environment.
And, NASA would have wanted to simulate a "realistic-looking" 1/6g.
So if they knew what it looked like, and they wanted to replicate it...
The problem was in executing it, right?
Maybe they found out they couldn't simulate it, or not close enough to it.
Maybe it was possible, but would take years to do, and/or too expensive, etc.
They'd have to develop unknown special effects, rendered over massive-scale stage sets, etc.
So what if they could do it, and they did it?
Nothing would be different.
They'd know the difference, but so what?

You seem to be the only person who has a problem with Apollo being in genuine one-sixth gravity, including people who have been in one-sixth gravity themselves. Every scientific analysis of the film footage concurs that it was filmed in a lunar gravity environment.
You even admit here that you have no idea how or why or where it was faked, and you don't care. Your entire argument boils down to "it doesn't look how I, with no experience of lunar gravity, think it should, therefore it never happened". That really is "The End" of your credibility in this thread.
They seem to be 'floating' around inside the Vomit Comet. One man does a somersault in mid-air, with complete ease. That's how people move in GENUINE 1/6g Not in Apollo footage, clearly. They don't appear to 'float' about effortlessly, in any way. They appear to move normal, except at slower speed.

That's a damned good question. (Strangely enough Gary Kasparov recently equated Vladimir Putin to a poker player with a bad hand and said he (Putin) is bluffing in the Ukraine.)
Webb and Johnson built that program so both of them quit their jobs before any Apollo's went out of low earth.
Armstrong said there was a 50-50 chance of success.
