Did we really go to the moon?

I have my doubts.

Well if we didn't I sure wasted a lot of the Companies money getting through the Van Allen Belt and surviving Solar Storms.--Keoke-- :laugh:

Uh,,, I don't think I did....
Oh yea, that one time in the 11th grade when she said I'm gonna take you to...um, nevermind, I'm not sure that would count...:/

Of course we went to the moon. After the landing was filmed in hollywood they then launched the moon set into space and brainwashed the world into thinking it was there the entire time.
 
We did this, that, and the other thing....
 
I used to run a Regional Planetary Image Facility (the one at ASU). It's a library of all the space data NASA's collected in either photographic or digital form. The facility is open to the public, but we used to only get scientists & crackpots.

One of my absolute favorites was a crazy lady who asked to look at the photo prints from the early lunar orbiter missions. The state of technology at that point wasn't the highest, and they sent film cameras into space to orbit the moon. The engineers at the time didn't account for there being moisture in the air inside the camera, so there were water spots on the lens.

She, along with a cohort, went through the photos and she was explaining to the fellow with her that all those "spots" on the moon were actual edits to the photo by the goverment to hide all the moon bases and the aliens from the public. :smile:

I used to get at least one nutter a month to the facility and they were always entertaining.

The Russians recently announced that while Yuri Gargarin did in fact go into space, the famous film of him in his capsule was reshot on earth. I recall that either the film quality wasn't very good or perhaps they forgot to put the camera in the capsule, but in any event they figured they'd just crank out a "dramatization" and put it forward as the real thing.

Or, perhaps he never left the ground. You decide.
 
My brother-in-law was a high-tech welder on the original lunar module. He is a crackpot. Hence, my skepticism.

Most of what was sent into space were Hasselblads though. May have still been film but the resolution through the Zeiss lenses are still very high, and they are a far cry from a Kodak Brownie. If they were shooting tansparency film then even todays top D-SLR's won't match it for ultimate resolution or tonal range.

(Yes, I'm a big Hasselblad fan :wink: )
 
Yeah, those Hasselblads are brilliant cameras.

I had to inventory a complete collection of the Apollo handheld photographs all shot on Hassleblads. Project took forever because I had too much fun looking at all the photgraphs. :smile:
 
All I can say is:
