Comment on Apollo Moon Landing Hoax by LunarOrbit.

“moonwalk fans neglect to realize that none of the telescopes or radio equipment could monitor the spacecraft once it was outside of high orbit.”

Why not? What makes radio communications impossible beyond Earth orbit? And if that is true then why is it possible to communicate with other satellites and space probes? The Voyager 1 probe is 17.5 billion kilometers from Earth and we’re still able to communicate with it.

“All radio transmission was relayed between earth and the astronauts via a module that was placed close enough to the moon to relay transmissions from the moon.”

Why is it possible to communicate with your alleged ‘relay modules’ but not with manned Apollo spacecraft? What is the difference technology wise?

“There isn’t a damn thing that shows where the astronauts transmission came from before it hit the relay module.”

Completely false. If the astronauts had really been on Earth, as you say, then there would have been longer delays in the communications.

If the astronauts were on the Moon the radio delay would be about 2.6 seconds. Let’s say Houston asked Neil Armstrong a question, this is how long it would take to get a response from the Moon:

Houston -> Moon = 1.2 seconds
Moon -> Houston = 1.2 seconds
Total Delay = 2.4 seconds

Now let’s pretend Neil Armstrong was actually on Earth in a secret location like Area 51. This is how long it would take for a response to a question from Houston if the radio signal was being relayed like you suggest:

Houston -> Moon = 1.2 seconds
Moon -> Area 51 = 1.2 seconds
Area 51 -> Moon = 1.2 seconds
Moon -> Houston = 1.2 seconds
Total Delay = 4.8 seconds

So this shows that relaying signals would create a huge delay that would be obvious to anyone listening in. If there is only a 2.4 second delay as expected then the signal must really original from the Moon.

It is also possible to track the point of origin and the movement of the source of a radio signal.

If the signal originated from low Earth orbit it would take 90 minutes to orbit the Earth, and that would be very obvious to anyone listening in. If the signal was originating from the Moon the only way that would be possible is if it was at the Moon. You can’t fake that.

“We didn’t and still don’t have anything earthbound that sees that far with that tight of a resolution.”

Not visually, but like I said, you could track the radio signals. Amateur HAM radio operators were able to track the Apollo spacecraft and listen to their transmissions. If they could do it then so could the Soviets.

“As for other governments and the cold war… Russia DIDN’T think we went.”

That is 100% untrue. The Russians have never denied that Apollo went to the Moon. They even warned NASA about a lunar probe they had launched the day before Apollo 11 launched just in case there was a risk of a collision.

Don’t you think the Russians would have made a big deal out of the United States faking the Moon landings? It would have been extremely damaging to America’s reputation and there is no way the Russians would have kept quiet about it.

And if the Russians were in on it, what was the point of faking it in the first place? The hoax theory makes absolutely no sense at all. “We had to fool the Russians but the Russians were in on it.” Yeah… okay. Whatever.

“To this day only a minority of their population knows about the lunar program and of that minority, over 20% believe it didn’t happen.”

What people believe or have knowledge of has nothing to do with what the truth is. The truth is not determined by polls or votes.

“Cuba actually teaches in their schools that the U.S. faked the landings.”

Gee… an enemy of the United States teaches their citizens something untrue about them. How shocking and unexpected! But how does it prove the Moon landings were faked? Is Fidel Castro an expert on space travel now?

“There is a huge population outside of the U.S. that doesn’t believe we went, but U.S. citizens are too ignorant of the rest of the world to realize that.”

Like I said, what people believe has nothing to do with the truth. If everyone believed in the Tooth Fairy it wouldn’t make it true.

“If the rest of the worlds scientists and astronomers believed we went to the moon they would have designed a lunar module after our own instead of trying to make their own lunar modules… eta on the soonest one to be built is China in 2025.”

Woulda, coulda, shoulda. Whatever. Just because something is possible doesn’t mean people are going to do it. Going to the Moon is extremely expensive and a lot of people believe there is little to gain from it.

“U.S. may be able to make one by 2028. huh… that seems odd doesn’t it? You’d think at the very LEAST they could build one in the 6 years it took them back in the ’60s.”

In the 1960s NASA had a much larger budget than they do now. It’s amazing what is possible when you throw enough money at it.

You can reflect a laser off the moon’s surface.
No reflector required.

True, but a lot more of the laser’s light is reflected when a reflector is used. The reflectors reflect all light back in the direction it came from. Light reflected …
