As I said: "To understand my views on this you would probably need to read everything from then until now." You did not.
That video was posted.

Yeah, that's what I don't get - if the astronauts movement "look wrong" because they were fast and jerky, don't you think that if NASA or Kubrick were faking it they'd ask their actors to do just those movements? The pendulum swinging, when speeded up enough to be full-gravity, has the astronauts jumping around a little but that can be easily done if the actors instructions from Kubrick or Truman Capote called for it. (I don't believe a word I say on this post, of course, just wondering why the fast motion of the astronauts at full-gravity speed proves anything).
Well if you speed up the film to represent Earth's gravity the Astronauts movements are to fast it's that simple.
As for this constant reference to Kubrick as some hoax director he made so many mistakes with 2001 that gives me and others on here a good
The hoax believers seem to forget that Astronauts suits are not easy to move about in that's how they use the hopping motion they found it easier to get around that way.

Ah jeez, something something them if they can't take a joke. So suddenly I find myself arguing the hoaxer-believer side. OK, if I was hired to do a hoax film the astronauts would have on none of that equipment, it would all be costumes, lightweight and hollow and would just look like they had the heavy suits on . Then they could dance around at will, la la la, until David Lean yelled "cut" and they moved onto the next scene or LEM.

Now, as for the O/P material, ie. the video - it is merely anecdotal and hearsay, he does not validate, cite, or even elaborate on his so called 'proof'.
Well you could do the math yourself. You can start here and here.

If I had a moon rock for every time that the idiot narrating your video points out that some of the Star Trek actors are acting-while-Jewish, I'd have enough moon rocks to pave my garden and one left over for the fish tank. He forgot Whoopi "Goldberg" though. And the entire video is centered around the fact that William Shatner visited NASA and was welcomed into the LEM by being shown a model of the Enterprise flying past the window. This, of course, is meant to prove that people never went to the moon, proof positive and a star for you unless I forget to give you one..edit on 15-3-2013 by Aleister because: (no reason given)

I don't really think you can quote Captain Kirk as a reference on this particular topic.
Besides, there is a large difference between making a passable visual or special effect fake and a fake that would pass scientific and forensic investigation.
The video poster is pretty chatty anyways, and does reply to at least some messages. It's not like the person is hiding their identity or anything of that nature. I don't believe the person is debunking every single theory that the moon landing is faked ... but their credentials etc aren't really the point ... from reading the person's youtube comments, 'Phil' I believe would probably just wish that you would actually learn the technology you're disputing about.
