Over $1 million in items were sold. The items had been in the possession of private collectors, Wilson said.
Apollo 11 items were hot at the auction. A small U.S. flag patch carried by Buzz Aldrin on that historic mission sold for $47,500 and a mission emblem signed by all three astronauts went for $62,500.
A moon-dust covered strap from an Apollo 12 spacesuit worn by Pete Conrad went to a lucky bidder for $23,750. Going into the auction, it was the item with the most interest from collectors.
An Apollo 11 lunar surface checklist, used by Buzz Aldrin to detail his work on the first moon walk topped out at $68,750. A flight plan for their return to Earth was sold for about half that price. Source www.chron.com...

the propagandists are the ones who started this whole idea that since certain Individual hoax theorists were profiting from their theories that it somehow discredits them,, yet when pointed out certain Individual propagandists are profiting selling souvenirs/books/movies based on the official theory they are given commendations....
i submit that based upon the propagandists fallacy argument , the Hoax Theory is correct & true - since the propagandists have far outprofited the moon hoax theorists on a vast scale....
the real money has been followed & it leads directly too propagandists ...

We know that the astronots sold Apollo items for big money. The astronots "made money" from Apollo.
There is a big market for Apollo auction items.
Why did NASA allow the sale of this "moon-dust covered strap" but not Ed Mitchell's camera?

Choos, how much money is Jarrah White making from Apollo? Are you going to answer that question or avoid it?

Imagine what you will.
I don't believe there are any people who think this nonsense anymore.
You know since other countries have also sent ships to the moon.
Something tells me that they would divulge the hoax if there really was one.

...But I, cannot trust your logic nor your conclusion. Nor should you mine ... nor theirs ... by doing so, and "believing" in the Moon landing, without scrutiny. You're just a religious freak. No better than any other religious freak in this world, wether Christian or Muslim...

However, the people who are "believing without scrutiny" are mostly the ones who believe that the Moon Landings were a hoax.
The idea that we DID land on the Moon holds up under scrutiny. The alleged evidence that it was all a hoax does not hold up under scrutiny. Since you are promoting the idea that any idea needs to be scrutinized prior to belief, please show me some facts regarding the Moon landing that -- under scrutiny -- indicate that the moon landings could not have been real.

I would only add that his understanding of how science works, and what science is, differs vastly from mine.

The idea that you landed on the moon, does not hold under scrutiny. Well, possibly you did ... but there is amber reason to doubt it.
1. The only real advances made, are in "computer animation". Showing a lot of money has been used to make computerized copies, rather than other advances.
If you had really gone to the moon and beyond, I'd expect a lot more advances in flight technology than you have. Most of these advances, were made ... as many jokers have said ... by the nazis, and polished by the victorers that took the technology as spoils of war.
Let's put it this way ... you landed on the moon, but could hardly drop a ball on mars.
2. Nothing has come out of it.
3. The next advancement in space science, was the European space station ... a further advancement of MIR.
Like everybody around me say about the space exploration, it's just a lot of money pouring down a big gap that produces ... nothing. And when I try to argue the merit of space exploration, I end up saying ... it gave us insulin ... and that immediately gives the responce ... NO, that was MIR, not the moon walk.
So, the only thing we have coming out of all this space time age ... coming from the US ... is a big bunch of crap. And a lot of arrogant Americans ... and Hollywood.
And that's where it ends ... what all this has given us ... is Hollywood, and computerized imaging technology.
This alone, is an amble reason to doubt the moon landing. Personally, I'd probably take the stand ... that Yes, you probably landed there. And it went bad ... you landed before making it public, and the rest of it ... the public record, is "Made in Hollywood".
The problem with all the "Moonlanding stuff" and the rest of it ... is that it is impossible to prove it to be a Hoax. So, Americans live in their little cave ... and admire their own shadow on the wall. Imagine themselves to be giants.

I know ... can you believe the amount of "monkeys" in this world, that have a hard time to understand a 3 thousand year philosophy.
amazing.
So, you know "WE" landed on the moon ... that must mean, that you were there too.
You weren't? really ... then that means, you BELIEVE ... a good american, admiring his own GIANT image on the walls of his cave.
