Comment on Apollo Moon Landing Hoax by Dave W.

OK, I’m quite open minded about the whole affair. I tend to think they did go to the moon but I’m quite open to the idea that part of it was faked or at least something happened that we are not being told. Apart from Apollo 13 it was all too flawless and the astronauts are all too……well……weird!

Firstly, all the websites that advocate the hoax theory are run by very naive people. Nearly all the ‘evidence’ for the hoax is easily dismissed. I must say that I’m amazed that no one has worked out the real reason the flag was moving. It’s quite simple…it was a piece of fabric. The astronaut stretches out the flag and it naturally retracts itself slightly due to it’s elasticity and moves about as it does so. Almost any piece of fabric will do this. Very simple.

Now we definitely had the ability to fake certain portions of the moon landing. Stanley Kubrick and Douglas Trumble could easily have faked the space ships and the lunar surface but there are things even they couldn’t do. Such as the low gravity dynamics that is observable in the astronauts gait and the settling of dust. This would be extremely hard to fake. Also there is not one piece of so called anomalous photographic or video evidence used by the hoax theory advocates that is not explainable in simple terms and easy to verify as being genuine.

OK, having said that it is quite possible that we are not being given the full story about the moon missions. The idea that the mission/s experienced such a flawless execution is very suspicious indeed. Things probably went wrong that we don’t know about and there were most likely secret elements to the missions.

Maybe the radiation is quite dangerous. There are conflicting reports about this detail from experts in the field.. Maybe the astronauts were exposed to injurious levels of radiation. This is quite possible. There are many people who receive high levels of radiation who apart from initial effects on their health do not die from cancers or other damage. The astronauts were maybe slightly cooked and have remained silent on the fact to save face for Uncle Sam.

Maybe, apart from what we are told, the astronauts had a bad time of it in other ways during the mission. Maybe they were more traumatised by their experiences than they are aloud to say. They seem calm enough in the official communications but maybe they were panicky some of the time. Maybe conditions were a bit unbearable. Maybe it was extremely uncomfortable on the moon with the temperature variations. Maybe they spent time huddled in the lander sweltering and/or shivering and wondering if they might die, then putting on a brave face for the camera’s. Of course some will say no, they were all brave test pilots etc. but I say no, they were human beings in conditions few have ever encountered so any reaction would be understandable.

Now here’s an idea that isn’t brought up often. Maybe there was a secret program in which the landing was tested by unknowns before the public event could be attempted. Of course there are some obvious arguments against this idea but I don’t think it’s too implausible. Firstly some will say it is impossible to keep such a secret from coming to light. Too many people would have to be involved in the cover up. I say rubbish, if there is one thing that people will keep a secret for it is national security. Especially if the military is involved. The military are able to enforce secrecy in national security situations very effectively. And there doesn’t need to be an enormous number of people who know what is actually going on. Hundreds maybe, not the thousands as postulated by some skeptics. The only people who really need to know that there is a real moon landing going on and not some test/simulation would be the communications technicians at the Parks observatory in Australia, the ground control team at Houston, the astonauts and a hand full of politicians and military officials. Anyone else could be told they are part of a secret test/simulation. How many times was the Saturn vehicle tested? Were there any manned splash down simulations? Anyhow, This is all just speculation but I find it difficult to accept that the first mission was a perfect success as is reported with there having been no real world testing of all the main elements of the technology. Of course getting it right first time is not out of the question but it must be asked, would they really risk showing the first attempt to the public?

There is allot to think about with the moon landings as reported to the public and what might have gone on in secret behind the scene. We don’t hear much about the military’s involvement in the space race. Who knows what they’ve been up to on the moon or elsewhere since we’ve had the capability of traveling in outer space. Maybe they did test nuclear bombs on the dark side of the moon as they wanted to but wern’t allowed to. Who knows?

Alright, this is just my two cents worth of maybe worthless speculation. Though I definitely believe that we were not and are never told exactly what went on or goes on behind the scenes with the moon landings or any large scale governmental/military technological endeavour. And going to the moon over and over again just to stick a flag in the ground and pick up a few rocks makes no sense whatsoever but then again maybe that’s all they did. People often don’t make sense.
