Surfmeister Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Let's here it for our brave astronots who landed and walked on the moon on this date in 1969. Wearing rubber and cloth space suits they braved the extreme temperatures and found their way to the moon and back with computer technology equal to today's four function calculator.

Surfmeister Posted July 20, 2005 Author Share Posted July 20, 2005 Bah, everyone knows it was a hoax... 386400[/snapback] No way was it a hoax. I just read on CNN the other day were going to have a satelite zoom past the moon and send back pictures of some of the American landers and stuff we left up there. I wonder if the photos will have Forrest Gump standing next to the flag? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wacka Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 For people younger than say 36 you don't realize the amazement the moon landings generated.

smapdi Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 There are alot of questionable photographs from the moon landings. In one there is a rock with a letter on. In another there are shadows coming from directions where there shouldn't be light. There was a tremendous panic that the Soviets would show us up again and land on the moon first; America could not let that happen no matter what. I personally don't even see how the technology was available to get human beings on the moon in 1969. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That to me, is puzzling... How about the flag blowing in the video when the moon has no atmosphere or wind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a gross overestimation of the danger of the Van Allen belts. You only need that much lead to stop gamma radiation; the Van Allen belts are relatively slow ions (noting smaller than an electron) that can be stopped by comparatively thin shields. (Alpha radiation - helium nucleii - can be stopped by a sheet of paper. Classic physics 101 demonstration). Hell, nuclear reactors are bigger radiation hazards than that...last I checked, they don't encase 'em in three feet of lead. 2) The flag "waving" in the wind: actually, the flag was waving because it was in vacuum. If you secure a piece of cloth (or whatever they used - a sheet of flexible material, at any rate) at two edges and move it, the unsecured corner will flap around until air pressure dampens the oscillations. There's no air pressure on the moon, so as he set the flag up, the oscillations he induced in the material continued undampened...and the flag looks like it was "waving in the breeze". Most of the "evidence" the moon landing was a hoax is about on par with the "evidence" that 9/11 was a government plot: it looks good if you have absolutely no clue how the world works, but with a little thought and education it's obvious bull sh--.

From the angle of the photos, it doesn't seem that the camera could be fixed to the Lander. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
