Lunar landing Photos 1969 - FAKED or REAL ?

Question

Lots of questions arise from these photos. If you have not seen them I suggest you look and then answer.
Questions include
Wind blowing the flag on lunar surface?
Same topography in different locations of lunar surface ?
Multiple light sources whilst photgraphing?
Etc Etc.

Just to clarify for people as stupis as TOM A. I am not questioning the fact that there have been lunar landings I am questioning the validity of the photographs allegedly taken on the first lunar landing........... AS STATED IN THE QUESTION !!!!!!!!

Answer 1

it is all a lie.......we couldn't have gone to the moon cos we didn't see Mr Spoon

Answer 2

1: How do you observe movement of the flag in a still photograph? It is not waving, it is held out by a rod sewn along the top, and the crinkles in it are because it's been bunched up for several days prior to being deployed on the Moon. Watch the film and video. The flag only moves when someone moves it. It does NOT blow. And why would NASA be so stupid as to have a wind blowing a flag if they were trying to fake a setting with a vacuum?

2: Parallax. The background features are many kilometres away. Move a few metres to one side and the background won't change a great deal. Look out of the window next time you ride a train, and see how the stuff at the side of the track whips by really quickly while the stuff in the distance moves by at a much more leisurely pace.

3: How many times? Multiple light sources provide multiple shadows. There is not one picture that shows any object casting more than one shadow.

The photos are real. The people who say they are faked just haven't bothered to try to understand what they are looking at.

Answer 3

The flag wasn't waving it was wobbling after the pole was twisted into the ground. When the astronauts moved away, it stopped wobbling. It wobbled a bit more than it would have on Earth as there was no air to dampen the motion. The waves in it are crinkles.

Multiple light sources - yes. Earthlight and reflections from the lunar surface fill in the foreground.

The "C" mark is a fibre on a copy of the original film. It does not appear on all versions of the photograph including those made from the original negatives.

Same backgrounds on different parts of the same mission or different missions? This has been faked alright. It has been faked by those who are promoting the idea of a hoax. These people are liars and at least some of their lies have been exposed. This is one of them.

I'm not proposing to dig up the URL but if you look on YouTube you will find a clip detailing how some sound tracks have been pasted over scenes other than they originally accompanied.

You could also look at the bad astronomy site.

The whole kit and caboodle about the fake ignores two very salient truths. Not everyone who worked on the Apollo program was an US citizen. There were lots of Australians and Spanish involved at tracking stations. Not all of these people would have kept stum for 38 years.

Secondly, scientists, engineers and even ordinary radio experts all round the world could have told whether or not the radio signals were coming from the Moon. They would have seen it immediately and yelled. The whole conspiracy angle depends on the fact that the US audience forgets that there is and was a whole world outside the USA with just as good scientists, engineers and what have you.

Answer 4

Listen; the photos are genuine! The flag stays up because there was a pole through the material of the flag. There are no stars in the picture because the light is to small for it to be picked up.

Try this experiment.


On a clear night when you can see plenty of stars take a photo of a well lit area such as a pedestrianized shopping area (mimicking the bright surface of moon) and make sure you have both the ground area plus sky in the photo. Even with today's cameras you will NOT see the stars. Try it and you will see.

Answer 5

They're real. That they don't conform to the average person's common sense doesn't mean that they're faked. It should speak volumes that not one member of the scientific community questions the validity of the photos; after all, scientists have scrutinized them and would be the first to notice anything fishy. Would the average person really be able to pick up on a scientific irregularity that the Stephen Hawkings of the world would miss? I don't think so.

Look at my source. It's written by scientists and explains the so-called "irregularities" in the lunar photos. These "irregularities" only prove that the photos are real.

These accusations of conspiracy and deception have been soundly debunked by scientists. As I read all of the pro-conspiracy answers that you've received, I can only shake my head at the flabbergasting extent of the ignorance of people who can't understand the basic scientific principles that prove that the landings were real.

Answer 6

Yeah, someone must have left a door open on the filmset and let the wind get in.

Do you realise how STUPID that sounds? Perhaps you need some elementary lessons in Newtonian physics.

Furthermore, why do you conspiracy nuts always go on about "doctored" photographs? Are you even aware of the video camera footage taken on the moon? And that there were SIX missions to the moon, all of which brought back rocks and dust from the moon, all of which have video and photo footage? Were they ALL faked?

Where are the people coming forward admitting their part in the conspiracy?

Sheer, utter lunacy - if you'll excuse the pun.

Answer 7

It really depends if you buy into the conspiracy theory that man never actually went to the moon, so the whole thing was a fake.....I for one believe that man did go to the moon....so the photos are genuine. Can you believe that almost 40 years on, no one would have come forward to prove the hoax?
It was the height of the cold war...do you think for one minute the Russians would not have blown the whole thing if it had been a fake to embarrass the US. No I believe they went, and when there took photos...but like any conspiracy theory it has it believers and I'm sure some are on here.

Answer 8

What am I meant to assert. human beings can declare plenty whilst they're bored and/or intoxicated. however the television photos are no longer the only shifting image from the moon, you additionally can locate the full 16mm fabric filmed from interior the lunar lander in digital kind interior the internet, which has plenty bigger high quality. undergo in innovations: A thought has to contain all, and actually all info into the reason. no longer basically those bits of info, which help the unusual good judgment. basically logical argumentations with out evaluation with experimental consequences is not any technology, yet lazy. playstation : William, all famous moon hoax proponents are voters of the u . s .. And different than one, no longer ineffective yet. you do no longer might desire to be from a backwater usa, to be a media troll...

Answer 9

The flag blowing has a valid excuse. First, there's a rod through the top at right angle to the pole to keep it held out. Secondly, as the rod is position, it's rotated to bury it in the surface. Have you ever tried to stick a blunt pole in soft rock? You rotate it as you do so to drive it in further. This sends ripples up through the fabric of the flag, making it move.

Answer 10

This answer constitutes abuse. Bite me.

I've had enough. I think any person who says that the state of the flag shows there is air is a bloody fool without whom the world would be a better place. So terminally stupid that they might die before they have a chance to reproduce.

Don't you think that scientists trying to fake a photo would have thought of that? Do you really think that humble you are the person who's the first to notice this? There would have to be a 50-knot effing gale blowing for the flag to be like that. It was held out with wire.

There were not one but six successful landings. There was not a few hours of TV footage, but thousands of hours of film, thousands of documents, hundreds of large companies, and hundreds of thousands of people involved ACROSS THE WORLD. It could not have been successfully faked, unless you believe everyone on the planet was as brainless as you.

Answer 11

Absolutely real. All of the "questions" that have been posited by lunar landing conspiracy theorists have been utterly refuted many times over. Try reading these sites for starters:
