who put the camra on the moon to record neil armstrong?

Answer 1

The camera was mounted on the leg of the lunar lander.

1) Twelve 12 American astronauts have walked on the moon.

Apollo 11: Neil Armstrong & Buzz Aldrin
Apollo 12: Pete Conrad & Alan Bean
Apollo 13: << failed to land on the moon >>
Apollo 14: Alan Shepard & Edgar (Ed) Mitchell
Apollo 15: David Scott & James Irwin
Apollo 16: John Young & Charles Duke
Apollo 17: Eugene (Gene) Cernan & Harrison Schmidt


2) Why haven't we been back?

a) American astronauts visited the moon on six occasions.

b) The "moon race" was an extension of the cold war. It was mostly about national prestige. We got there first and achieved our primary objective. There was some good science: surveys, measurements, sample collection. But it was mostly about being there first. Once we achieved our primary objective, there was no political will to go back. There still isn't. Perhaps, if we discover He3 or something else valuable, there will be.

c) I used to travel to Crested Butte, Colorado every year to ski. Because I don't go anymore, does it mean that I never went?


3) What about the Van Allen radiation belts? Wouldn't it have killed the astronauts?

The existence of the Van Allen radiation belts postulated in the 1940s by Nicholas Christofilos. Their existence was confirmed in *1958* by the Explorer I satellite launched by the USA.

The radiation in the Van Allen radiation belts is not particularly strong. You would have to hang out there for a week or so in order to get radiation sickness. And, because the radiation is not particularly strong, a few millimeters of metal is all that is required for protection. "An object satellite shielded by 3 mm of aluminum will receive about 2500 rem (25 Sv) per *year*."

"In practice, Apollo astronauts who travelled to the moon spent very little time in the belts and received a harmless dose. [6]. Nevertheless NASA deliberately timed Apollo launches, and used lunar transfer orbits that only skirted the edge of the belt over the equator to minimise the radiation." When the astronauts returned to Earth, their dosimeters showed that they had received about as much radiation as a couple of medical X-rays.


4) The U.S. government scammed everyone?

In 1972, there was a politically motivated burglary of a hotel room in the Watergate Hotel in Washington, D.C. There were only about six or eight people who knew about it. However, those people, including Richard M. Nixon, the President of the United States, failed to keep that burglary a secret. It exploded into a scandal that drove the President and a number of others from office.

If six or eight people couldn't keep a hotel room burglary a secret, then how could literally thousands of people could have kept their mouths shut about six faked moon landings? Not just one moon landing, but six of them!


5) What about the USSR?

Even if NASA and other government agencies could have faked the six moon landings well enough to fool the general public, they could NOT have fooled the space agency or military intelligence types in the USSR. The Soviets were just dying to beat us. If the landings were faked, the Soviets would have re-engineered their N-1 booster and landed on the moon just to prove what liars Americans are. Why didn't they? Because the landings were real and the Soviets knew it.


6) Why does the flag shake? Where are the stars?

Take a look at the first two websites listed below. They deal well with all of the technical questions.


7) Finally, please tell us what you would accept as definitive evidence that the six moon landings were real. Is there anything?

Answer 2

Mine is a simplistic answer I guess, but sometimes they're the best! We didn't see Neil Armstrong's first step and the remaining photos were taken by Aldrin and Armstrong whilst they were there. This is a passage taken from the website below: 'As the sequence of lunar operations evolved, Neil had the camera most of the time, and the majority of pictures taken on the Moon that include an astronaut are of me. It wasn't until we were back on Earth and in the Lunar Receiving Laboratory looking over the pictures that we realized there were few pictures of Neil. My fault perhaps, but we had never simulated this in our training.'

Answer 3

That would be the same guys who set up the lighting from all four directions, I think they were friends of they guy in charge of the wind machine, apparently they needed some wind to blow the flag that they planted, no atmosphere on the moon, so no wind. ;¬) or so I have been informed by some one else who said he had been there, but I'm not really sure if I believe him.

Answer 4

According to the popular lore about the landings being faked, it was Walt Disney. According to NASA it was mounted on the LEM (Lunar Excursion Module.)

Answer 5

There was a TV camera on the Lunar Module.

Answer 6

Oh come on, let's get the conspiracy theory dusted off and shown the light again - its only been a couple of days since somebodt else did...

Answer 7

Why not?
Since we are having fun, I guess I have to mention Clarke's monolith since no one else has.
The secret is the camera inside that thing. How else would they get footage of those hot cavemen in their skimpy unmentionables?

Childs: "It's Chariots of the Gods, man, They practically OWN South America." ;)

Answer 8

I suppose Edwin Aldrin (the second man on the Moon) did.
You haven't seen the first actual step, of course...

Answer 9

I love this question.......it falls right in there with wheres the video that shows a plane crashing into the Pentagon.......what happened to the top of JFK's head........where is that damn grassy knoll. Questions that will never be answered.

Answer 10

The man on the moon?
