so why didnt soviets expose fake moon landing?   
I saw a fox program on fake moon landings. but i keep asking myself,
whether or not the nasa landings are true or false, why didnt the
soviets exploit the  controversial footage and push the story that the
landings were fake?

the soviets were experts at pushing propaganda stories (like the
hitler still alive story)
this  would have been a great propaganda victory for them,especially
since they knew they would not make it to the moon themselves. what
could have held them back from pushing this story?

thx

Because the Soviets were smart enough to know that they wouldn't
convince anybody that mattered. You don't need but half a brain to see
that the idea is nonsense. They would have to completely fabricate their
own data, but the real data was readily available to the entire free
world. What _actual_ "controversial footage" could they have used?

It seems them dirty rotten Russians were part of the same mutually
perpetrated cold-war tango, and for essentially the exact same reasons
none the less.  If they'd blown our cover, guess what would have
happened to their cover?

You obviously live in a pretend world, where governments and their
faith-based puppet masters do not continually lie their mutual cold-
war perpetrating butts off.

Would you like to know more? (or is head in sand good enough?)

Brad, on this issue you may talk till you're blue in
the face.  There is no way around the Russia code.
Russia had been first in just about e'erthing until
that day in '69 when we beat 'em to the Moon.
And they would have been all over a conspiracy
like stink on shit!

Yet, not a word from Russia or China.  And at the
time, the US was on both their shit litses.  No way,
man,  N O   W A Y  would they have kept shutup
about the US pullin' a fast one.  No effin' way!

happy days and...
   starry starry nights!

It still takes two to tango, doesn't it?

The cold-war was artificial and otherwise mutually perpetrated, as in
no doubt about it.

There's so much that's horse-pucky about our Apollo fiasco that it
still, after all these decades, smells to high heaven.

Why do you care if our Zionist/Nazi DARPA did the moon walking thing,
or not?

Dear Mr Gush

I am building a spaceship in the back garden to take all the doubters
to the Apollo landing site.

The free tickets are strictly one way.

Return tickets will involve organ removal.

Just to ensure you are taken permanently out of the gene pool.

I'm sure we can manage a bit of microsurgery in your case. ;-

Gee, could it be because we actually DID go to the Moon ....
The naysayers will cling to the "we faked it" story.
Yea right, we faked it 7 or 8 times, no less ...

nothing,they were killing us soldiers in vietnam that same year in 
vietnam,they would also blow this pr stunt for the us..

and why would the us stop with the fake moon landings i question myself.
they could 'build' bases on the 'moon' or land on 'mars' with ease...
think of the propaganda !
WHY didn't they do that?
well,simple ofcourse,the landings were real and did cost a fortune..

What i care about is the present-day resistance
to returning to the Moon.  We should have had a
few bases on the Moon by now for several uses.
The fact is that in 1961 John F. Kennedy *dared*
science to put a man on the Moon "by the end of
the decade".  And science busted balls to do so,
and succeeded.  The fact is that luck had a lot to
do with it.  There were several points in the first
mission when our astronauts could have been
lost.  It is no secret that their success was mainly
due to their ability to meet the challenge.  And
while the massive training had a lot to do with
that, it was moreso the astronauts' ingenuity that
kept them alive and brought them back to Earth
safely.

The ensuing Apollo missions to the Moon were
better, but there was still a lot of luck involved.
And now the scientists and engineers look back
on that, and they seem to feel that they have to
nitpick every little piece of "luck" out of the
equation.  So we have to wait until they have
everything down perfect so that nothing is left
to luck.  And that could mean a long wait.

As much as i do respect NASA, those people do
need to grow some hair on their balls!  They'll
never get it perfect, and there'll always be the
risk. The neo-NASA people have to learn to live
with that.

Or we'll NEVER make it back to the Moon, let
alone to Mars or Venus.

I care about exploration, Brad.  And when such
endeavor is squelched by anything, to include
dipsticks with silly conspiracy ideas, then i have
to admit that it pisses me off.

Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walked on the
Moon. Their mission was the first of six and they
were the first two of 12 men in all who landed
and who walked on the Moon.  Three brave men
gave their lives for this mission, Gus Grissom,
Ed White and Roger Chaffee.  And three others,
James A. Lovell, John L. "Jack" Swigert and Fred
W. Haise were almost lost during the Apollo 13
explosion in space.  Apollo missions 11, 12, 14,
15, 16 and 17 landed on and explored our sister
planet Selene.

Live with it.  Enjoy it.  Celebrate it.  And use it
to put a burr under NASA's butt!

happy days and...
   starry starry nights!

Please take this in the nature it is intended, Hagar.
It's not a "correction" but just a clarification.  There
were 7 manned missions to the Moon.  Six of them
actually got there and landed, Apollos 11, 12, 14,
15, 16 and 17.  Apollo 13 endured an explosion in
space and had to return without making it to the
Moon.  It is a credit to the program that even after
the Apollo 13 near-tragedy, four more missions
still went to the Moon and explored our sister planet!

The only question is, WTF is holding the neo-NASA
program back now?  Don't say "funding", because if
they pushed hard enough, the money would come.
I think they need to grow some hair on their balls!

happy days and...
   starry starry nights!

It is Funding.  The average American is not overly excited
about financing two wars, which have been going on for
way too long and draining our piggy bank, paying scalping
prices for oil, while watching the US Dollar go to hell in a
hand basket.  The funding for any space exploration would
have to be voted on, and right now the masses would regard
any such thing as pork. Sad, but true.  We really should stop

And still you've got nothing objective to report on behalf of your
DARPA Apollo fiasco.

It still takes two to tango, and a cold-war tango we did.

Isn't denial a wonderful thing, especially when having to live a lie
such as our DARPA Apollo fiasco.  Why exactly is it that you can't
even put 2 and 2 together, and come up with 4 each and every time?

How many tens of thousands of USSR government, military and civil
service jobs plus whatever employed and/or retirement benefits were on
the line at the end of WWII?

Now you're saying that the old USSR and Russia of today doesn't tell,
fabricate and/or otherwise go along with lies?  (especially of those
which directly benefit their existence?)

You've got to be kidding, but clearly you are not.  Go figure.

Huh? See ~ BG? This is what I mean about the incomprehensibility of your
posts. One post you are talking about physics, the next you are waffling
about the USSR and WWII. I am not as crazy as you. These disparate items do
not appear to go together. I'm sure that with the extra voices you have
going in your head this conversation is seamless, but us sane people are
missing half (or more) of your conversation.


>Same question applied to the American side or point of view.

I'm sure it does... What do your other voices tell you is the answer?

Evidence exclusion and perpetual denial has been mainstream status quo
for centuries, if not thousands of years.  How many thousand
documented examples of government and faith-based lies upon lies and
of subsequent consequences would you like to ponder?

Right back atcha, Brad, you master of irony!  It isn't
denial when you support a historical event.  It *is*
denial when you *deny* the event happened.  Irony
just drips from your fingers onto your keyboard, my
friend.

And sorry, but 2 + 2 does not always equal 4.  2
apples plus 2 oranges does *not* equal 4 aploranges.
And 2 wabbits plus 2 wabbits usually equals a WHOLE
LOT MORE THAN 4 wabbits!

I get a knot in my stomach whenever i have to accept
that ANYBODY would seriously belittle the single most
and greatest exploratory event that human beings
have ever achieved in our entire history!

It's as if the discovery of America is DENIED. You may
as well deny that there are science labs in Antarctica.
Go ahead and deny that chimps can talk with their li'l
hands.  You might as well completely disregard that
the computer in front of you is a great technological
feat of quantum mechanics.  I don't know, Brad... do
you even think it's possible to climax during sex??!!  <g>

As much as i've grown to like you and some of your
ideas, i have to acknowledge that anybody who denies
the great triumph of THE only time men have ever set
foot on another celestial body does not appear to have
even two brain cells to rub together.  Rethink it, bud!

happy days and...
   starry starry nights!

There will never be any more manned missions to the moon; they will be
crewed or staffed.

Actually there were eight manned missions to the moon. Apollo 8 with
Borman, Lovell and Anders was the first manned mission to orbit the
moon, as a test of some of the procedures NASA would use for the
landing attempt.

Because it wasn't fake, despite the conspiracy theories
proposed by nutbars, some of whom have the US and the
Soviets conspiring to give the US a major propaganda victory
in the middle of the Cold War.

i was most interested in how come that since there was a potential for

Ooops, actually nine. Apollo 10 also orbited the moon and tested the
lunar module separately as well, coming within eight and a half miles
of the surface. That musta sucked for those guys, to have to go back
to the CM after being so close.

You are a fucking nutcase! I was personally involved in the lunar
program and I can assure you it was not "faked".

Here’s yet another good one for the old gipper, as recently published
in Popular Science, of where the DARPA orchestrated mainstream is
continually trying to snooker and dumbfound its way along.

“To get the resolution to the point where one pixel was the size of a
foot print, Hubble would need a primary mirror of 2,400 feet in
diameter”

Every 5th graders knows or at least should know that the size of a
primary mirror has nothing to do with optical magnification or of its
pixel resolution.  GeoEye at a low orbit that’s easily doable, as such
could image our physically dark as coal Selene/moon as tight as an
Apollo moon-boot foot print per pixel.  The USAF has had better than
GeoEye optics and cameras as of decades ago.

13 made it 'to' the moon in the sense of swinging around the far
side.

Also, regarding the eariler tragedy that claimed the lives of Grissom,
White and Chafee, it's generally recognized that it triggered a ground-
up revamping of slipshod and crappy practices.. and the eventual
success of the program was owed to the tragedy.

“To get the resolution to the point where one pixel was the size of a

Every 5th graders knows or at least by rights should know that the
size of a primary mirror has nothing to do with optical magnification
or of its pixel resolution.  GeoEye offering 0.41 m, except applied at
a low lunar orbit (say 65 km) that’s rather easily doable, as such
could image our physically dark as coal Selene/moon as tighter than
any Apollo moon-boot foot print per pixel, or roughly 0.041 m/pixel
(1.6”) of monochromatic resolution.  The USAF has actually had better
than GeoEye optics and cameras as of decades ago (similar to GeoEye
2).

Mainstream truth-lag never had it so good.  Call it irony on steroids.

Here’s yet another good one for the old gipper, as recently published
in Popular Science, of where the DARPA orchestrated and otherwise
Zionist controlled mainstream media is continually trying to snooker
and dumbfound its way along.

“To get the resolution to the point where one pixel was the size of a
foot print, Hubble would need a primary mirror of 2,400 feet in
diameter”

Every 5th grader knows or at least by rights should know that the size
of a primary mirror has nothing to do with optical magnification or of
its pixel resolution.  GeoEye offering 0.41 m, except applied at a low
lunar orbit (say 65 km) that’s rather easily doable, as such could
image our physically dark as coal Selene/moon as tighter than any
Apollo moon-boot foot print per pixel, or roughly 0.041 m/pixel (1.6”)
of monochromatic resolution.  The USAF has actually had better than
GeoEye optics and cameras as of decades ago (similar to GeoEye 2).

Hm. Google "telescope resolution" and you get dozens of references with 
the same equation for resolution as I found in my college astronomy 
textbooks. Here's one: 

http://www.licha.de/astro_article_mtf_telescope_resolution.php

In other words, the size of the primary has everything to do with the 
telescope's resolution. You can try to magnify the image produced by a 
telescope with a small primary all you want, but all you get is a blur. 

Maybe you can explain to us why the 200" Hale telescope on Mt. Palomar 
creates images so much better than the telescopes at the Lick 
Observatory on Mt. Hamilton. 

Nah, you probably cant.

What held them back?  Try the fact that the landing were real and they
knew that the only people who would buy into a 'fake landing' story
were nutcakes?  The Soviets were good at propaganda but they did stick
to things that were believable.  "Fake landings" doesn't even come
close to being believable.
