"...you're saying you believe they crashed to support another argument".
We human beings have many intelligences, mathematical, musical, motory, logical, pictorial and so on.
I think you have a lack of logical intelligence.
LEMs don't fly, can't move in all directions and land going backwards MANUALLY controlled with a JOYSTICK, as Armstrong did.
If 6 LEMs had REALLY gone to the moon, at least 4 would have had to crash according to statistics.
REAL MOON LANDING IS NOT A VIDEO GAME PRODUCED BY NASA JOKERS WITH THE HELP OF DISNEY STUDIO.[/quote
Ever hear of TEST VEHICLES???
Please prove your Disney Studio statement or drop it.
About stars, NASA jokers excluded them because it's impossible to put realistic stars in bidimensional scenographic backgrounds.
But you can fake an entire moon mission??? what type of logic is that?
Oh by the way, ever watch the original Star Trek?? That proves you could create real looking stars so that shuts down another of your theories.

It's the type used by your president Bush.
He destroyed Twin Towers with explosives, inventing the fake terrorist Bin Laden.
With the pretext of that fake terrorism attack, he made war against Iraq to seize its oil.
Now that Americans begin to complain of this war, Bush has invented a new fake video of usual delirious Bin Laden to remain in Iraq continuing to seize its oil.
You can fake moon missions as you can fake terrorism as you can fake Twin Towers collapse as you can fake terrorist Bin Laden as you can fake Pentagon hit by a phantom Boeing.

There are no stars in any of the photos. The Apollo 11 astronauts also claimed to have not remembered seeing any of the stars in a press conference after the event.
The sun was shining. Cameras were set for daylight exposure

Can you explain this?
when you looked up at the sky, could you actually see the stars in the solar corona in spite of the glare?
ARMSTRONG We were never able to see stars from the lunar surface or on the daylight side of the Moon by eye without looking through the optics. I don't recall during the period of time that we were photographing the solar corona what stars we could see.

11:18 a.m.: American Airlines reports it has lost two aircraft. American Flight 11, a Boeing 767 flying from Boston to Los Angeles, had 81 passengers and 11 crew aboard. Flight 77, a Boeing 757 en route from Washington's Dulles International Airport to Los Angeles, had 58 passengers and six crew members aboard. Flight 11 slammed into the north tower of the World Trade Center.
Flight 77 hit the Pentagon.

Hi, this is my first post here
Correct me if i am wrong but a while back the history channel did a show
on the conspiracy of did men really go to the moon
At the end of it the were talking to some astronomers who pointed out
they could solve the whole issue and in my mind did.
It would seem they have been bouncing a laser beam off a mirror
on the moon the astronauts Left there for some 30 years back to earth.
I find it hard to belive this is not true, but In fairness
Does anyone else know what it is i refer too and can they post a link to this observatorys name that escapes me now?

Have you seen the Boeing that hit Pentagon?
My superstore has 6 cine-cameras on its boundary. Pentagon has not even one. No cine-camera has filmed that Boeing.
Do you think it's possible?

I am assuming this quote is accurate and if so, what Armstrong is saying is
they could only see stars from the lunar surface and on the daylight side when using optics.
So yes, they could indeed see stars.

Who says he didn't? I know some HB's make a reference to when the Astronauts were saying they can't remember if they saw stars or not, but they were speaking specifically of when they were photographing the solar corona. Not for the entire duration of the mission.
EDIT: And just to add. Seeing as how they had a star chart, which was used for navigation, one would conclude that they could indeed see the stars. Otherwise that would be quite a useless chart wouldn't you think?

First, welcome to the thread !!
Second, nope you're not wrong and obviously that information is verifiable if you fire a laser at the reflectors (there are more then one from more then one country). And you would think that alone would make this whole discussion pointless.....and it does !!
I have asked this question here myself on a number of occasions but have been ignored.
Good luck with getting a response and once again welcome
There was no doubt in Armstrong's mind about landing in the boulder field. It wasn't essential that he land the LM perfectly upright. A tilt of up to fifteen degrees would cause no particular problem with a launch. However, if he hit the engine bell or one of the landing struts on a large rock, there would be a real chance of sustaining structural damage. Two minutes after pitchover and about two minutes prior to the landing, Armstrong took action. He decided to follow an old maxim: "When in doubt, land long." To do that, he would have to overfly the crater and land well to the west of it; and there was clearly no point - nor really much time - to give the computer enough of an update via the handcontroller. The Landing Point Designator (LPD) was designed for fine tuning and what Armstrong needed was a big change. So he switched to manual control, pitched the LM forward, and began to fly it like a helicopter. Within seconds, he had slowed his rate of descent from about twenty feet per second down to about three and flew the LM about 1100 feet west beyond the craters and the boulders
[edit] AGC in Apollo
Each flight to the Moon had two AGCs, one each in the command module and the lunar module. The AGC in the command module was at the center of that spacecraft's guidance & navigation system (G&C). The AGC in the Lunar Module ran its Primary Guidance, Navigation and Control System, called by the acronym PGNCS (pronounced "pings").
Each lunar mission also had two additional computers:
A flight computer on the Saturn V booster instrumentation ring called the Launch Vehicle Digital Computer (LVDC) – a serial computer built by IBM Federal Systems Division.
A small machine in the lunar module's Abort Guidance System (AGS), built by TRW, to be used in the event of failure of the PGNCS. The AGS could be used to take off from the Moon, and to rendezvous with the command module, but not for landing.
[edit] Applications outside Apollo
The AGC formed the basis of an experimental Fly-By-wire system installed into an F-8 Crusader to demonstrate the practicality of computer driven FBW system. The AGC used in the first phase of the program was replaced with another machine in the secon phase, and research done on the program led to the development of FBW systems for the Space Shuttle and indirectly to the development of FBW for the generation of fighters that were being developed at the time (www.klabs.org...).
I don't have an answer on this. But that doesn't mean they went to the moon!
There are 5 mirrors (reflectors) on the moon. 2 Russian and 3 American. Russian atronauts never set foot on the moon, but they have mirrors on the moon too!
