Reel, as ever, excellent material.

Interesting to 'M.St.M's. comment about the Apollo photography being published on the Internet in 1993...quite late, for the ultimate in scientific imagery, having to wait quarter-of-a-century for true peer review. Bearing in mind that parts of the scientific community had access to the pre-WWW internet long before this, it'd be interesting to find-out whether any early scans of AS Hasselblad shots were made available as binaries, or even as wide-frame transparencies. And if not, why not?

Having watched the great footage of the 'Pogo' gravity-reducing harness, I had a sudden thought about the Moon's one-sixth gravity, which folks here might be able clarify for me (either based upon the Official Story, or from some other insight.

Please have a think about this...it's pretty fundamental, and I'm probably just being stupid. Maybe I started thinking about this previosly on 'Clues', and am forgetting. The self-rotation of the Moon can be the only source of it's gravity. But the Moon only ever presents the one 'bright' side towards the Earth. So in what way does the Moon actually rotate? I mean as opposed to it's orbit around the Earth? This is really puzzling me...almost as much as why all these clear flaws in the Apollo imagery are still missed by so many supporters of the Official Story

very good question, icarus. the Moon always faces us,
so '1/6 Earth gravity' seems a pretty sketchy blag.
i reckon they just copy the 'Zero-G' readings from
whatever ocassional forays into LowerEarthOrbit...

Every time I watch that press conference... the more I think they where on acid. :p

Is anyone familiar with the Imax movie "Magnificent Desolation"? Having looked at a few of the clips online, I'm struck by the surprisingly false feel that they've got. And then it immediately struck me: in order to maintain separation between the 'reality' footage of the Official Story, and the obviously-unreal imagery of the movie, the movie must appear to be obviously unreal.

The image above is truely strange. It looks like a Nintendo Sims version of a film-lot, to the extent that it's super-unrealistic.

In the movie clips sections, check-out the extremely white and inflated space-suits, unlike the once used on the...actual...missions.

They do bear a close resemblance to another openly-false image of a moon-walker, which has been overtly created by an Andrea Bertaccini of http://www.tredistudio.com/Inglese/index.html...

Please also note a resource I had never heard of before: http://forums.cgsociety.org/ .....the forum of the CG Society, the Society of Digital Artists.

The above openly-falsified image is discussed in a little detail at http://astronomer.proboards.com/index.c ... thread=761, and in a lot more depth at http://digg.com/news/story/Reproduced_C ... n_The_Moon. This educationally-twinned pair of pictures, gives art an opportunity to contrast with 'reality' ...

I was so hoping to post this on the closed "Yes, they did!" thread. Alas, I was too late. Anyway, this bit still resonates:

Sorry Iam compelled to reposnd to phy6 and the thread is locked. Nasa went to the Moon 6 or 7 times and we got...

1: MoonRocks
2; Data
3: Data

S'cuse me while I fall about the place laughing!

If I wanted real MoonRocks, I'd go to Antartica.

"This large collection of meteorites allows a better understanding of the abundance of meteorite types in the solar system and how meteorites relate to asteroids and comets. New types of meteorites and rare meteorites have been found. Among these are pieces blasted off the Moon, and probably Mars, by impacts." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antarctica

Data written by a hack in Cape Can Never al ?

Lunar images reveal Buzz Aldrin's lost house keys

These craters all look so alike

The high-resolution photographs were taken by scientists at Arizona State University to determine whether the USA’s flags had survived harsh lunar conditions. But they also revealed a Snoopy key ring lying in the shadow of a moon rock.
...
“On the day we were heading back to Earth I’d been out to get some rock samples. Shortly after blast off, I checked my bum bag and I was like ‘awww….shit…’

so, Moon is 250,000 miles away, ISS is 250 miles.
so, Apollo 11 reached the Moon in 72 hours.
Space Shuttle reached the ISS in 48 hours.
so, Apollo 11 reaches the ISS in 4 1/2 mins,
Space Shuttle reaches Moon in 200 days.

Been a while!

Saw this and thought of you guys:

Specifically the part where Buzz Aldrin claims that the force of Apollo 11's liftoff, which (if anything like the later lift-offs) failed to stir much dust, actually blew the planted flag over!
