When we supposedly landed on the moon we were able to perform all sorts of incredible gymnastics without any fear of a suit breach. Just look at these guys go at it, remembering if they hit one sharp rock and cut their suit they're dead....

However in 2013, a relaxed space walk in far more controlled circumstances just a few hundred kilometres from earth results in a near drowning.
"By now, the upper part of the helmet is full of water and I can't even be sure that the next time I breathe I will fill my lungs with air and not liquid.
So it seems today we can't replicate the supposedly fantastic technology we had half a century ago.

so what you are saying is that the entire US Navy screening process is entirely inept?? considering the yearly medical examinations they need to go through.. never once catching mattingly's non-immunity to measles over the decades he was in the US Navy.
which must also mean that the US Navy is hoax.. the US Navy is not real..

choos, you must be hallucinating! How can you deny the reality of the US Navy who sent the aircraft carriers to pick up all the Apollo splashdown capsules?
Don't you see how your argument is flawed? If you deny the US Navy, how can the US Navy pick up the capsules?

Some are conjectures that can't really be defended or opposed without inside intel, like how during an active war the us managed to put the necessary resources in an non-priority the project (manpower and money) or the unique response of the USSR no attempt to diminish (even if propagandistically, like the US did to Sputnik and other USSR victories) or outdo the deed.
There are two items that I have no satisfactory response or rational to defend the status quo (that wouldn't negate this landing/exploration project). Why there isn't a permanent robotic presence on the moon (even without good AI we could have remote presence in the moon for ages now, even robots that build robots and infrastructure via telepresence) and how all new discoveries and considerations regarding beyond low orbit and the moon seem out of phase with what was managed then.
I have seen most of the replies to his points but I feel that they spend more time in attempting to discredit the dude or his sources than in solid debunking the points he raises (I also have seen many of his replies to those and even some admissions of minor errors/imprecisions, he also gets at times lost in the heat of the having to reply to some of the attacks, that part is the only thing I can criticize on his presentation, I would much prefer that he was more to the point and address only the subject matter but character assassination at times is hard to dismiss). The more interesting points is in regards to the shielding/radiation, solar flares, the rocks/meteorites.

No not really. The facts speak for themselves.
Apollo 17's longest EVA was 7 hours 37 mins. Pretty good life support technology for nearly half a decade ago.
I wonder how far we've advanced in 2013. We must be up to a day or so, yes?
Well no actually. In half a decade of amazing technological advancement our longest EVA is only 8 hours 56 minutes. STS-102.
We've advanced by just over 1 hour. Amazing.
The most interesting part is that during the supposed moon landings they exerted themselves quite a bit. You'd think their air supply would only last a couple of hours with all that activity.
They were playing golf, kangaroo hopping all over the place, falling over everywhere, setting up flags on EVERY supposed landing, setting up experiments, unloading the rover, jumping up for the salute photo, drilling for rock core samples, taking thousands of photos, repairing the rover, laying cables, setting up TV cameras, antennas, positioning the LRV high gain antenna, and of course, falling over all the time potentially rupturing their suit and rendering them dead.
And yet today, where no where near that physical exertion is occurring, our maximum EVA time has barely changed. Worse still, with barely no activity a modern day suit malfunctions and fills up with water.
what you are referring to but even during a war any gov will still have a budget that spreads money around the country. just because there is a war does not always mean everything else must cease. if that were the case then the gulf war, korea, iraq invasion also do not fit this reasoning.
