Title: Did the Apollo landings really happen


1
Did the Apollo landings really happen?
2
The Questions
  • Deadly radiation from van Allen belts
  • No blast crater under descent engine
  • No stars in the lunar sky
  • Crosshairs behind objects in photos
  • Pictures are too good
  • Technology was too hard
  • Cant see abandoned gear telescopically

3
Blast crater its there but shallow
4
No stars? its daylight
5
Stars only show up in photos when the foreground
is dim
6
Apollo 16 George Carruthers UV telescope
captures Earth and background stars. (Ozone makes
Earth so dim in UV that stars can be seen without
washing it out).

Some things to remember
  • Six successful landings
  • Spacecraft were tracked by amateur and
    professional astronomers plus radio hams around
    the world
  • Samples analyzed by labs worldwide, including
    exchange with USSR (some were photographed before
    pickup)
  • Tens of thousands worked on Apollo
  • Hundreds of thousands saw launches
  • Retroreflectors still tracked at landing sites
  • Richard Nixon was terrible at keeping secrets

14
Amateur and professional shots of Apollo en route
15
Launches seen by huge crowds (including
impressionable 13-year-old from Nashville)
16
Laser reflectors at Apollo sites are still being
tracked worldwide
17
USSR was in the race
18
Why not just take a picture with Hubble and see?
Hubble or advanced Earth-based telescopes can
only resolve details at the 50m level and
couldnt they be faked too??? (There are Apollo
and Clementine orbital pictures)

Apollo 15 LM from orbiting CSM
21
Apollo 17 LM from orbiting CSM
22
Summarizing evidence
  • Chemistry of samples
  • Consistency of data returned
  • Receipt of signals from moon
  • Optical and radio tracking of spacecraft
  • Where did the astronauts go?
  • USSR never blew the whistle
  • Would have been easier to just go there

23
Martian faces and cities?

NASA and Joshuas long day
Did a NASA computer turn up signs that 24 hours
went missing around the time of Joshua and the
sun standing still? More to the point, could it
have?
