How would you interface a Hollywood production into the space program.....?

Question

Tell us all how you could do it without 150 controllers in each control room (3 shifts of 50) knowing, and fooling these highly skilled people over the course of 7 years of the Apollo program.

Come on hoax lovers, what did the Fox newsreel say on this?

It is absolute nonsense to doubt men landed on the moon. To believe it a a hoax is so illogical that it would be laughable if there weren't so many ignorant people willing to go along with it, which is a very sad reflection on humanity.

Learn the facts before you are so ready to believe nonsense.

Learn about space, so that you are not fooled by ignorant people who do not understand low gravity, the effects of having no atmosphere, and do not understand the most basic things about photography.

Oh come on, enufwork. That is nonsense.

You obviously have never had to install complex software. The Apollo controllers were on the job 24/7. When would these other lot of highly skilled people get in and install software so complex that each of the 50 screens in the control room, showing readouts from every aspect of the mission, fool all those highly skilled controllers.

And not just fool then once, but for 7 long years.

And many of those controllers would have been with the program through Mercury and Gemini, starting in 1959.

Anyone who gave it real thought would know it is nonsense that the thing could be a set up. So, for God's sake lets stop this garbage now. It is highly destructive thought, and a gross insult to all the people who helped to make a success of the greatest exploration ever.

I'm only responding to this because it is in Astronomy & Space.


You are making the assumption that the controllers knew.

You really only need the actual mission astronauts... not the whole group that was in training, a handful of gophers to do the slight of hand of loading the astronauts and secreting them away from the rocket before launch, a handful of people on the other end of the control panels input link using a computer that was... maybe 20 years ahead of it's time (classified technology often leads) to create a data stream describing the mission, and a very small "hollywood crew."

It wasn't a hoax... but I don't buy your particular argument against the possibility.

Wouldn't it have been fun if the Russians had gone ahead and landed men on the moon and brought back rocks that were inconsistent with ours. ;-)
