The MOON HOAX

If NASA faked the moon landings, does the agency have any credibility at all? Was the Space Shuttle program also a hoax? Is the International Space Station another one? Do not dismiss these hypotheses offhand. Check out our wider NASA research and make up your own mind about it all.

Another member questioned how we could reach the planet Mars considering that Earth and Mars have different orbital inclinations.

This issue applies to how we can send any probe or spacecraft to any point in space.

This image doesn't shows the angle between the orbits of the Moon and the Earth but it can give a rough idea:

This site http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_large_is_ ... on's_orbit claims the orbital angle between the Moon and Earth is between 18.3 degrees and 28.6 degrees to Earth's equator.

If I understand correctly any object leaving Earth will be "thrown out" along Earth's orbital plane, since the Earth is spinning. In addition an object will follow the Earth's orbital plane. In this case how does a spacecraft going to the Moon change this off-course trajectory? Wouldn't a rocket necessitate a tremendous amount of energy to do so?

Actually, because distances are so incredibly high and the flying objects so comparatively small, I think that the tiniest correction to the initial trajectory would suffice. And I am not even sure that objects would be thrown out exactly along the orbital plane, but maybe just tendentially. Not that I believe in the reality of these trips, mind you. But I think that it is not so easy to disprove the alleged science behind them either.

For me, the biggest error in the Apollo hoax presentation was the slow motion movements of the crew as they moved about. I can't think of any reason that a person would move in slow motion in a reduced gravity environment except only when dropping downward. I would think that other movements should appear at more or less normal speed (save for the bulkiness of their suits) yet the crew were shown uniformly moving in slow motion in virtually all the footage of all the Apollo missions. The Moon's gravity is said to be 1/6 or about 17% of Earth's.

Now here is a NASA “Mars Gravity Simulator” which, they say, simulates the Martian gravity which is said to be 38% of Earth's.



Notice how he moves more or less at normal speed, perhaps even a bit faster than normal (once he gets going).

Shouldn't the Apollo crew have moved more like this guy? Perhaps only bouncing somewhat higher but moving with about the same speed or a little faster due to the even lower gravity?

I don't see how to post a topic so I will just ask here.
Where do the rockets go?
I sort of go back and forward with this conspiracy theory. One moment I'm definitely sure we didn't go...the next minute I think maybe we did go.
Whenever I see the rockets I wonder where are they going?

Rockets are probably going up due to thrust applied at bottom end - no conspiracy theory there - but where they are going up there, when they run out of thrust or fuel, is not clear. I assume they fall or drop down. :lol: No conspiracy theory there either. My concern is how to stop a rocket ... anywhere. Thrust applied at the forward end? :blink: Where the concrete heat shield is blocking the view! :P ;)

This is what NASA says happens with used shuttle boosters:

is is really worth all this expense to retrieve what is essentially just a big metal tube?

The NASA shipping company, like most of the US Coast Guard fleet, is just for fun to waste US tax payers money but it employs 10 000's stupid people and they vote for it because that's where the money comes from. Evidently it would be easier to design the shuttle booster tube scrap just to sink to the bottom of the sea after use and forget about it ... but then NASA shipping company would not exist. :P

If you've been reading this forum you should know we don't do "conspiracy theories" here, but where have you seen "rockets" — do you mean in person or only on video/TV? If the latter, then that should be a clue for you ;)

For so long I've not said anything on here about this, but I will now.

I have seen on three separate occasions, the last one being in January (I think) of 2011, rocket launches heading "out into space". It was this last one that got me curious. I never did follow the space program. So I looked up about that launch, and I forgot the details, but I then started following my curiousity about something I'd heard from someone in 1989 that "we didn't really go to the moon". My journey eventually led me to this site (via the 9/11 event).

What I am saying is that I have seen three of these air events from 120 miles away, and no matter what you say, you can not debunk the evidence of my senses. :)

Oh yes. It looked like a flare large enough to see 120 miles away. The first two I saw, one was at night, the other at dusk. I was expecting those. Neither of those did I watch to the point of disappearing, and those were over five-and-a-half years ago. The last one I saw, I was driving my car, and I saw it out of my windshield. But I was driving, and so again didn't continue following it. Other than the spectacle of seeing a large flare in the sky "way up high", I wasn't interested in following them closely, like I would be today.

^ ... and?

I'm not getting what you're saying about this. You said that no one could debunk what you saw. So, what is it that you saw that no one can debunk? Is it just that you saw some flares in the sky? Sorry, but I just don't understand what your point is.

I'm sorry, HonestlyNow, but I don't understand what your point is either :unsure: Who is trying to debunk that people (including another clues member) have seen some kind of rockets launched from a long way away? My question to the newbie, kervik, was where he had seen rockets and whether it was in person, i.e. close enough to see anything significant.

This is my first post so please excuse me if I get board etiquette here a little wrong. HonestlyNow you appear to be saying that you are certain that these rockets fly up into the sky because you have seen these events live. The "evidence of your senses" is technically called empirical evidence. Clearly though observing something live is (and should be) more compelling to the mind receiving the visual image than observing something "second hand" on video or film, which might be easily faked. The movie "Wag the Dog" was an amusing film about how easily the common masses of people will believe their TV with a quasi-religious kind of blind faith that seeing is believing.

However even observing something live does not mean that your mind cannot be hoaxed into believing that it has perceived something that was false rather than true. Remember that if you have been hypnotised you may perceive many things that are not true. A stage magician can also trick a live audience into thinking that something utterly astounding has just happened. But if you are later shown how the "magic trick" was performed the methods of achieving the magical visual illusion could be quite simple. The US Military also often use a form of "live magic tricks" in their "Military Deception Operations" --- like at their 9/11 false flag event.

Do I believe that since the 1940s man has been able to shoot large rockets into space, outside of Earth's atmosphere? Yes, I think that I do. So I have no problem with you saying that you have personally perceived rockets flying upwards into the sky and thus believe the evidence of your senses that they do.

Do I believe that man has been to the moon? No, I have seen no compelling evidence that man has been to the moon. Where did all the rocket hardware go after they flew upwards into space? I don't know, but I would guess that quite a lot of the hardware that went flying up into the sky has since fallen back into the atmosphere, to burn up and/or fall mainly into the oceans of this planet. If it hasn't yet fallen back to Earth then it may still be in orbit, as space junk. Probably not a very good idea as that could lead to catastrophic collisions between bits of hardware up in Earth Orbit in the future.

If you go here you will see some of the reasons why I personally do not believe that man has ever been to the moon.
