Bart Sibrel who supposedly has evidence that the Mission to the moon was A HOAX.

My standard reply to those who bring up the moon hoax theory:

If the President of the United States can't have sex in his office and keep it secret for more than a few months, how could anybody keep something of this scale quiet for 30+ years?

I recently read an article refuting the moon hoax hypothesis (I refuse to give it credence by calling it a theory).

1) The time for the dropped objects (hammer and feather) matches the moon, NOT the earth. The feather also fell at the same rate as the hammer - requires a vacuum.

2) The dust thrown up by the moon buggy fell back at the rate that matches the moon, not the rate that matches the earth. It did not disperse - again requires a vacuum.

3) The oft quoted flag ripples - the horizontal mast jammed on the first deployment, and eveyone decided that looked better anyway. (weak argument on BOTH sides).

4) Sharp shadows are a prduct of vacuum, not atmosphere.

The list continued for about 6 pages.

Some said that the Stars in the pictures weren't there and so It must be fake(Suns Glare as there's No air, Hence the Gold reflective lenses on the helmets), Problem is none of those people have been in space above the atmosphere, Stars appear to twinkle here on Earth cause of Earths shadow and cause we're in the Earths atmosphere, Nothing more.


Look for light in the shadows, See any?(I'm talking about that long one that goes from left to right across the picture) It's a vacuum so pure that there is complete darkness where light isn't already at. This photo is from the Landing site for Apollo 11 in the Mare of Tranquility. My mother worked for Chem Aero back then She did touch up on the copper plate(rectangular shaped) that has a picture of the Earth as known back then(no details of the ocean floor, sorry) and the plate had 4 names, 3 I know of off hand (Armstrong, "Buzz" Aldrin(not lightyear) and yep R.M.Nixon[Honorary Astronaut] and that last name was the guy up in the command module in orbit about the moon). The plate was attached to the leg of the LEM(Lunar Excursion Module) behind the ladder leading to the ground from the ascent module, Some of the landing sites were near near or around the Mare(Sea) of Tranquility and some were I think elsewhere. The picture shows an Astronaut near the Flag(which may have been knocked down by the blast of the ascent stage as It rose to lunar orbit) and the LEM on the left half out of frame.

What can I say I'm not a good or speedy typist and I watched the landing on TV(Live as they interrupted whatever was on back then, I was 8 or 9 back then), National Geographic had an issue later on that covered the landing in color too(My uncle paid for a subscription as a Christmas Present). No I tossed all those mags, But It was the December 1969 Issue(the Month My Grandpa died, He lived until December 31st 1969, He was born in 1888).

July 20th, 1969 to be exact. I remember where I was while I watched. At my church's annual ethnic picnic, the kind the whole region would attend. We all cramed into the club house like sardines, watching the TV in the lounge.

Where were you? Do you remember? Anybody?

Lomita, CA, At the end of a Dead End street(Cul De Sac wasn't in use back then), My folks rented the place, It had tall eucalyptus trees behind It, We had a 25" Magnavox Color TV(The one area where My Dad and Uncle agreed on, Neither liked RCA, But Magnavox was good) and It was the house where some kids broke in and robbed us of some stuff, We know they were kids as there was some play money in My bedroom that was there and some young kid(younger than Me) thought the play money was real. The Joke was on them, No they were never caught and not much was stolen and frankly I don't know what was stolen either, 9 year olds wouldn't know unless It was theirs.

If You think the Space Shuttle is loud, It's nothin, Fast sure, The Saturn V was LOUD to the Nth Degree!! And You could hear that sucker for miles they said as everyone watched the Astronauts get into a Bus drive to go to It and go up the elevator to the top and get loaded in like sardines in a can at the top of the worlds largest Roman Candle and they got to light that sucker.
