Maybe so, because if you watch those films, there are no stars in the sky over the "moon". Shouldn't there be at least a few, given the fact that the moon has no atmosphere?
Gee, I don't know Maj.Nick! :rolleyes: Given that the landing took place on the "daylight" side of the moon, rather than the dark side, I wouldn't expect to see any stars. How many stars do you normally see during the day here on Earth? Here's a photo from Apollo VIII...no stars!!

I'm sure the guys from Apollo I would appreciate knowing they suffered a fiery death all so NASA could stage an actual moon landing.

Loved the moonwalks

I remember being woken up out of a sound sleep every time there was a landing or an orbit past my bedtime - and the whole family glued to the TV during the landing. My dad was in the aerospace industry so it was required!
But it was a wonderful time when we all felt very proud to be Americans with a vision and the will to see it through.

LOST TAPES FOUND?

MrBern said:
dummies.....
looks like Nasa lost th original magnetic tapes of the neil armstrong moonwalk.
Even worse, they were a high quality version that the public did not see.
But you can get a dozen hi def versions of starwars on dvd....

Atlantis is totally real. Disney even made a movie about it. ;)

I read a conspiracy theory on the moonwalk, and I think it's my favorite conspiracy theory ever. It's so silly to think we'd fake it all. But still fun to hear people swear it and give their reasoning.

Personally, working in the industry myself and having encountered enough of these people, I no longer find it all that funny. Would you believe that there are people out there who believe that the Apollo 1 fire was a human sacrificial offering to the Egyptian gods?

I'll say this in defense of the Apollo program: if NASA had faked it, wouldn't the Soviet Union have been the first to point out the incredible lie being hoisted upon the workers of the world by the imperialist capitalist juggernaut?

Well maybe it's just because the former Soviet Union had a long tradition in faking photos and removing unwanted politicians and leaders - without the "capitalists" pointed that out either.
So when NASA did their fake, the russians obviously thought "Hey, we are on the same side now" and did - nothing either.lol
