Title: Did the Apollo landings really happen
1Did the Apollo landings really happen?
2The 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
3Blast crater its there but shallow
4No stars? its daylight
5Stars only show up in photos when the foreground
is dim
6Apollo 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).

13Some 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
14Amateur and professional shots of Apollo en route
15 Launches seen by huge crowds (including
impressionable 13-year-old from Nashville)
16Laser reflectors at Apollo sites are still being
tracked worldwide
17USSR was in the race
18Why 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)

21Apollo 17 LM from orbiting CSM
22Summarizing 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
23Martian faces and cities?

34NASA 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?
