May 24, 2012 - do you really think this show is 100% real!?!? this must have been backed up by the illuminati.

May 24, 2012 - for shits and giggles I simulated this in 3D Max and it confirmed what they just made :P

May 23, 2012 - Reply to ytmoog. My God! You're Captain Pudding! You're Captain Fucking Pudding under another cowardly alias. Pudding was an idiot whose parrot-cry was 'perspective', he did not understand it then any more than you do now, and he was chased off the internet in ignominy about a year ago.This is hilarious - a year has passed and you have learned nothing. You still think the old garbage will work. Almost incidentally, if you have not seen the image you have no opinion. If you have, you are a liar.

ytmoog Says:

May 23, 2012 - Incidentally your 'perfectly flat terrain' isn't.

ytmoog Says:

May 23, 2012 - Do you know what 'perspective' is?

David Hunter Says:

May 23, 2012 - Holy Mother of God, save me from these morons! I am aware, of course, that a large part of your strategy is to bore people to death so let us take a SPECIFIC EXAMPLE. Go to the thread 'did we land on the moon? part 3 of 5, and stop the film at 4:29. The image here shows widely divergent shadows on PERFECTLY FLAT TERRAIN. Get it? And don't give me any more crap about going outside on a sunny day. I live in London, I might have to wait a long time.  Knowledgemonger? This is a joke, right?

knowledgemonger Says:

May 23, 2012 - Have you never gone outdoors and looked around? Shadows follow the contour of the surface they fall on. How is it exactly that people can believe this "shadows at angles" nonsense ? It is just one of the most bogus claims ever made. Anyone who has been outdoors on a sunny day will have seen that the claim is just total rubbish and yet here people are making that claim.

May 23, 2012 - Reply to Spreadingthemuse. If you are seeing shadows shoot off at a tangent in front of you, you need to get your eyes checked. Should have gone to Specsavers. The reason you don't get several shadows from different lights is because the each light is aimed at a different part of the set -the same reason why you don't get actors throwing multiple shadows in the movies.And this is your killer argument? Jeez, I'll have to take up something that engages the other 7/8 of my brain - this is too easy.

SpreadingtheMuse Says:

May 23, 2012 - Make a shadow on a curved surface, watch the two lines curve away, and then tell us all again why topogrpahy has nothing to do with it. Are we to beleive you or our own lying eyes? "fake lights" is all shot down with one question no hoax pusher has ever answered. HOW can you have multiple lights without mulitple shadows?

David Hunter Says:

May 22, 2012 - "Unless of course they use a lens to focus the light. Which they did." Do you really think you can get away with this diversionary bullshit? There is no mention of a 'lens' anywhere in the film.They used an ordinary studio lamp. And of course shadows follow the terrain they fall on, but they fall in the same direction whatever the terrain. By the way, maybe you could tell us who are the moneymen behind this drivel - they wouldn't be the same people who are paying you, would they?

ytmoog Says:

May 22, 2012 - "If the light source is 12 feet away..." Unless of course they use a lens to focus the light. Which they did. "Topography has nothing to do with it." Shadows follow the terrain they fall on. It really is idiotically simple.

David Hunter Says:

May 22, 2012 - The answer to these clowns is idiotically simple. If the light source is 12 feet away from the objects the shadows will diverge. If it is 93 million miles away, they will be parallel. Topography has nothing to do with it. An important question to ask is who pays them to produce this nonsense.

ytmoog Says:

May 21, 2012 - "There's no gravity on the Moon..." Actually there is.

knowledgemonger Says:

May 21, 2012 - You appear to use the word "skeptic" incorrectly. The skeptics point of view is, "I don't know" until the proof is provided. It is a very different thing to the "I believe in spite of the evidence" nature of the "we never went to the moon" cult. Take the example of the shadows at angles claim. A skeptic would notice when they were outdoors on a sunny day that the whole premise of the claim is simply false because shadows follow the contour of the ground they fall on.

Spyguy679 Says:

May 20, 2012 - The Truth of the Moon Landings is a deception by doubt Skeptics? If Astronauts were to Fake the Moon Landings Why would they pay so much money to do it in a Movie Studio? There's no gravity on the Moon so the Astronauts could bounce back on their spacesuits! The Actors portraying the Astronauts couldn't do that in a Studio because they would fall down and hurt themselves? It doesn't make sense to me it's a waste of their time and Where's The Proof? NASA did land on the Moon! End The Skepticism?

knowledgemonger Says:

May 20, 2012 - I was pointing out the often ignored 3rd person because that brings the total to 18 vs 12. That is a lot more people who went as far out as the moon even if not all of them touched the moon. Those 6 people took nearly all the risks but got none of the fame. It shows something important, I think, about the sort of people who do great things like moon landings. The Apollo 10 crew also took big risks. They all trusted their lives to science and the spacecraft builders.

SpreadingtheMuse Says:

May 20, 2012 - Yes. Only 2 of the 3 landed with the LEM. So its 12 who moonwalked, 18 who made the journey

knowledgemonger Says:

May 20, 2012 - Each Apollo flight had 3 people. One stayed in orbit in the command module.

May 17, 2012 -  thank you

loperspest Says:

May 16, 2012 - And a pleasant day to you.

SpreadingtheMuse Says:

May 16, 2012 - Ok this we can answer. How many separate groups on separate missions? 6. Apollo 11, Apollo 12, Apollo 14, Apollo 15, Apollo 16, Apollo 17 Six different groups, at different times in different ships on different dates. 2 men per mission

horseofblack Says:

May 16, 2012 - pleasant day day to both of you.

ytmoog Says:

May 16, 2012 - "the two phrases refer to the same concept" No they do not. If you don;t understand the difference I suggest you learn something about the scientific method. "...except the busters do not demonstrate a valid conclusion" Yes they do. They show very well that terrain effects apparent shadow angles. They do this by showing a control shot on a flat terrain which shows parallel shadows then another image where the terrain has a small hill on it which shows apparently non-parallel shadows.
