Thanks, although I think I have seen this image before. It is not
detailed enough for any pro or contra judgement. Additionaly this data
does not contradict to my theory that US did send and soft landed
a sort of automatic probe equipped with TV rebroadcaster to show
overexcited US public the "moon" pictures from an earth studio.
Although clearly given level of that time technology this achiement
by itself was, no doubts, a huge success.

I'm curious about this mythical automated probe that could have taken
the place of the Apollo LEMs. Since *EVERY* launch in that time
period has been publically identified (the US having no capability to
launch heavy boosters in any form of secret fashion),


And why is that? You have little respect to USA.

where could such
an automated probe have come from?


No idea.

What was it launched on?


Obviousely on Saturn V

When was
it launched?


A good question. I do not know. There were several official NASA
automatic and "manned" Moon missions. In fact one successful
landing of automatic probe with rebroadcaster was enough to
for the Appolo program. BTW this explains rate of success for Appolo
missions. Given Appolo 13 was a sort intertaining TV program
the rate of success was 100%. If they had to land rebroadcaster
every time there would be much less than that.

What was it?


Personally I think it was something based on Surveyor design.

To the contrary, I simply have sufficient knowledge of the american
countryside and space program to know that there was no way to perform
space launches that big such no hint of them has leaked out in 40
years. Even the Soviets couldn't pull that off from Pletsetsk.

In the US there were and still are) only a limited number of launch
facilities that can process launch vehicles of that size, all
surrounded by populated areas. The US was and is sufficiently
populated that any launch from a remote area could not be hidden. It
might be conceivably possible to build a remote launch pad outside the
country (not for a Saturn V), but then you still have to get the
launch vehicle in the country, and those aren't available on every
street corner.

an automated probe have come from?

How could this be even conceivably possible? The launch vehicle
stacking and checkout procedures were not military secrets. There
were innumerable technicians involved, and yet no hint of the security
measures that would be necessary to install, test and fly the mythical
lander without the secret leaking out immediately. Also there is no
hint of the hardware adaptations that would be necessary to fit such a
lander to the spacecraft.

Yes, there were several such missions, but I fail to see how one such
successful one would have sufficed to fake the rest. How could this be
done? Please give me some detail so we can look for fingerprints of it
actually happening.

No doubt.

redc1c4,
and how would the signal get through your tin foil hat? %-)

Hm... tell me the tue. this is what you wanted to ambush
me on? Right? Little naive boy...


So, would you mind explaining from the start for those of
us who missed your earlier postings, what makes you think
that this was faked at all?

This is very big field full of false claims and contra claims.
I cannot give you a complete list but in my view there
are lots of very strange things in NASA official pictures
and particualrly in movies (wrong shadows, untouched dust
directly under LM engine, clouds of dust from under rover
wheels etc.), strange elements of LM design like
inward opening hatch, space and van-allen belts radiation
which was largerly ignored etc.

On radiation you can start with:

http://guthvenus.tripod.com/space-radiation.htm

it has references on valid nasa documents and measuremrnts.

As for the pictures there are many sites on internet.
Try "moon hoax" you would have tons of that with pictures
refernces etc. Both pro and contra, false and true.
So be careful you can be mislead.


As IMO you have been!

http://www.badastronomy.com/bad/tv/foxapollo.html

gives a useful summary of the true explanations of the fallacies
mentioned by you above.

Of course, as with holocaust deniers and UFO believers, psychological
factors are more important than historical or scientific ones in
understanding why people hold these beliefs.

Sometimes yes sometimes no. as for "true explanations" well
as usual, John anyone have to decide what is more credible the
facts or its "true explanations".

John, just a few comments on that site. It is nicely
organized. It does include refernces to original materials
and it discusses most (not all tought) important NASA problems
with that Moon landings. Moreover tt seems author prepared
a book to disprove NASA hoax theory, which is on sale. But
there is one important problem. He lies, directly and openly.

He says:

"...
However, not the rover! If you watch the clip, you will see dust
thrown up by the wheels of the rover. The dust goes up in a perfect
parabolic arc and falls back down to the surface. ..."

It is the lie. I am sure you have seen this video. If not take it
and look very closely. It is exactly opposite to what was actually
shown in NASA official videos. Namely clouds of dust from rover
wheels stopped by the air exactly like on the earth were shown.
Very visible, very clear. BTW the same effects for dust from
astranouts foots is also sometimes very clearly visible.

Why he lies, John? If so, after that, how we can trust a word
from this guy about his on other topics, easily received
discussions with NASA experts etc.? No way.

"... Again, the Moon isn't the Earth! If this were filmed on the
Earth, which has air, the dust would have billowed up around the wheel
and floated over the surface. This clearly does not happen in the
video clips; the dust goes up and right back down. It's actually a
beautiful demonstration of ballistic flight in a vacuum. Had NASA
faked this shot, they would have had to have a whole set (which would
have been very large) with all the air removed. We don't have this
technology today! ..."

Exactly. This is the Earth?

Michael
This is another case of selective vision on the part of the HBs.

Kidding? How I can give you details? I can give you a prompt only.

I would send Radio/TV signal in the way:

Huston - Studio in Nevada - Moon rebroadcaster - Huston

The funny side that even time delays would be just fine
not to speak that the signal does come from the moon.
The later is for radio enthusiasts all over the world.

Ambush you? Not at all. Rather, it's part of a pet project of mine.
I've been reviewing the arguments of the "Moon landings were a hoax"
proponents and have identified a general trend. The trend is that
they are willing to disregard or misrepresent the available evidence
in favor of the landings, but are totally unable to present ANY
evidence supporting their own theories. A moon hoax proponent with a
valid argument should be able to show positive proof showing how the
hoax was executed. I was curious to see if you were going to have
anything original, but no, no luck.

In any case, this particular example is directly falsifiable in that
forign nationals were able to track the spacecraft in flight, and
signals heard from the vicinity of the moon were doppler shifted, not
possible with a stationary transmitter. A previously landed moon
probe would not have been sufficient. See
http://www.svengrahn.pp.se/trackind/...7/APOLLO17.htm for an
example.

It is also easy to show that the responses between the flight crew and
ground control did not show the time delay that would be present if
there was a voice relay from the ground to the moon and back. If the
signal were the result of a recording from a lunar bound lander, the
ground controllers would have had to have previously prepared scripts,
therefor all the ground controllers would have had to be in on it.
