Can you see stars with the sun in the sky? Or even near the moon when it is bright in the sky? In a brightly lit area?
Apollo astronauts repeatedly refer to stars every time they checked their course, as well as at other times. Apollo astronauts even took stars of them.
As discussed on the thread about seeing stars in space: onebigmonkey.comoj.com...
Who isn't presenting the truth?
00 00 46 45 CDR I can see some stars
02 23 59 20 CDR Houston, it's been a real change for us. Now we are able to see stars again and recognize constellations for the first time on the trip. It's - the sky is full of stars. Just like the nightside of Earth. But all the way here, we have only been able to see stars occasionally and perhaps through the monocular, but not recognize any star patterns.

I don't care if Armstrong changed his story, said he saw stars in NASA records, on this interview he said we didn't see stars in Cis Lunar space, the sky was a deep black and they didn't see stars on the lunar surface.
Why say this and contradict himself?
I'm not even talking about the Landing Hoax topic.
People who have had a real experience do not equivocate.
They see something like brilliant star fields and remember them. But here in THIS interview, Neil said he did not see any stars either on the way to the Moon (Cis-Lunar space) or on the Moon, even when in shadow (presumably) or early in the lunar day.
So, though we don't know which time he was being accurate, he clearly can't give a consistent answer.
Neither can Collins who said they couldn't see any stars and then 10 years later he wrote a book and said he DID see stars.
In addition we have the puzzling case of NASA painting lots of stars in every animation, drawing, pictorial of the Apollo missions. Did they do that because they thought it looked pretty? Or, did they not even know that space was a deep black everywhere when looking with the unaided eye?
Nobody knows.

The contrast of your body and your mind inside ... essentially a one-person spaceship, which is your spacesuit, where you're holding on for dear life to the shuttle or the station with one hand, and you are inexplicably in between what is just a pouring glory of the world roaring by, silently next to you — just the kaleidoscope of it, it takes up your whole mind. It's like the most beautiful thing you've ever seen just screaming at you on the right side, and when you look left, it's the whole bottomless black of the universe and it goes in all directions.

It fits in perfectly, because the space programme pretty much started with the mission to get to the moon using Mercury and then Gemini as the the springboard for Apollo. Apollo technology was then used in Skylab, and the experience in that area led on to the ISS.

No it isn't completely different. The initial research into the VAB outlined the broad structure and radiation levels within it. Later research has refined it. You already know that the next generation of spacecraft will have aluminium in it, it will also have other materials that were developed recently.

That's the key point: they did't have a time machine - they knew what they knew, they used what they had available. The material they used was adequate and the trajectories they used minimised the risk - I notice (as I expected) that you ignored the links I posted. You have absolutely no evidence that the trajectories would have exposed astronauts to instantly fatal levels of radiation.

science disagrees with you.
the technology to get man on the moon is there.. it is and has been a proven science, rocketry has been around and refined for a long time now.
what you are basically suggesting is that the ISS is a hoax also since if we didnt have the technology to land man on the moon then we also would not have the technology to get the ISS.
getting man on the moon is just a very expensive venture and not every government is willing to support it.

And you didn't read my link. Or the rest of my post.
Space is black because there is no atmosphere to scatter light. Light from a bright sun, or Earth, or even moon in cislunar space, or reflected back from the lunar surface, will drown out the stars.
Once you remove the sources of bright light you will be able to see, and photograph, stars. Armstrong does not say he can't see stars from cislunar space - says the sky is black on cislunar space. The question is specifically about the view from the lunar surface.

Times are Apollo 11 mission times. Go to around 03:24 of this file to hear it as it was transmitted to Houston, and the journalists listening to it:
history.nasa.gov...
Michael Collins and Buzz Aldrin also refer to seeing stars during Apollo 11.
They all used them for navigation.
It is simply not true that Apollo astronauts did not see stars or did not discuss seeing stars.

They tried to use that "proven science" to 'return' a man to the moon, and it proved the science was a fake.
So it seems they have "refined" science, albeit unwittingly!
Game over.

The main problem is why stars are hardly worth mentioning, while such an amazing sight would surely have warranted it. And how.
And they've changed their story - from seeing no stars, to seeing stars, and so on...
It doesn't add up, not even close.

Many events can be judged on it's validity from a historical perspective...
Event(s) like Apollo, for example...
More than 40 years after the event(s), in historical perspective...
Is it consistent with everything before it, and after it, to this day?
Nothing is consistent with the Apollo event(s) as being genuine.
It only conflicts with the official story
What confirms Apollo was a genuine event(s), as opposed to being a hoax?

and what science are you babbling on about now??
the science to protect against GCR's?? VAB??
science to protect against GCR's:
you still havent realised just how low the radiation received from GCR's are.. it will take SEVERAL MONTHS of exposure to GCR's to get a 5% increased chance of developing cancer in later life.. exposure time is extremely relevant..
how long was the longest Apollo mission?? 10 months?? 1 month?? 5 months??
if it takes several months to get 5% increased chance of developing cancer then is it absolutely impossible for astronauts to survive 2 weeks being exposed to it??
science to protect against VAB:
avoidance, the most intense regions only covers a relatively local area.. if you want to claim that NASA doesnt have the science to protect its astronauts against the VAB then you are claiming that NASA is too stupid to go around it..
you are just in denial saying its game over when you clearly dont understand anything science related..
