The space shuttle also has an aluminium skin. How come it doesnt melt during re-entry?
Armstrong: I don't recall during the period of time that we were photographing the solar corona what stars we could see.
I could clearly discern the outlines of continents, islands and rivers. The horizon presents a sight of unusual beauty. A delicate blue halo surrounds the Earth, merging with the blackness of space in which the stars are bright and clear cut.
"The air is so much clearer up there; you can see what seems to be 10 times more stars. They just carpet the sky."
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.
ALDRIN I don't remember seeing any.
during the solar corona experiments. He said he saw thousands of them in the journal.
"It's - the sky is full of stars. Just like the nightside of Earth"

The Apollo program is well documented. The hardware, the training, the budgets, the schematics, the science, the photos, the films, the moon rocks, the fact that half a million experts who worked on the program will testify to its validity, every scientist in the world believes it happened, we still use the retroreflectors left on the Moon, and the 1994 photograph taken of the Apollo 15 landing site by the Clementine lunar orbiter...

To Pepsi78:
Russians are liars too. For this reason they didn't say a word about USA Moon landing.
Space race is Fake race.
NASA BSJ woul have hit a comet but men of Pentagon didn't hit Saddam palace with their intelligent bombs.
Pentagon cameras didn't film Boeing that would have hit it.
Hit comet, intelligent bombs, only shameful lies.

Wow, here's an interesting quote from 'physics expert'. He says the Astronauts did see stars in space. Apparently, they just don't see them on the moon. Or specifically:
Armstrong: I don't recall during the period of time that we were photographing the solar corona what stars we could see.
They might have, they just can't freakin' remember. LOL.
Here's a quote from Yuri Gagarin:
I could clearly discern the outlines of continents, islands and rivers. The horizon presents a sight of unusual beauty. A delicate blue halo surrounds the Earth, merging with the blackness of space in which the stars are bright and clear cut.
So the in low Earth orbit and the entire way to the Moon the Astronauts could see stars. But the moment they landed on the Moon the stars are gone. Right.
One thing that people don't think about. Common sense says they should have been able to see the stars with their eyes (which are many times more sensitive than a limited camera setting). I think one of them would have made a comment. "Dayum, the sky is black as pitch. I can't see any stars".
They never said that.
In fact during the post flight Press conference, Collins looks at Aldrin and Armstrong for guidance and asks them if they could see the stars. He says he can't remember if he saw stars (from orbit).
What the heck? He has to ask if them if they saw stars? He wasn't even on the Moon. Did he forget that? Is he saying he didn't see stars from orbit? Yet 10 years later in his book he recounts seeing stars.
Here's a picture from the SOHO telescope. It shows what the area would look like if you blocked out the sun and looked at the corona. (Michael Collins, take note of those white dots)
I'd think at the very minimum they'd have tried to take some shots of the brightest stars, or, oh, how about the brightest object in the sky, the planet Venus?

OK, kindly direct me to the site with the Telemetry. Oh, you can't, it's missing.
How about the specs on the Saturn V rocket. Oh, you can't it's been discarded or is missing.
How about having the curator at the space museum lower the capsule and let us measure it. Oh, they won't, they denied that request (after oking it).
I'd like to see the mission params on just how they did the tracking and the docking of the LEM with the Orbiter. I'd like to see the percentage of success predicted for that. Remember we have it on film, Aldrin saying it was 30% chance of success.
I think you could easily 'create' a rock on Earth that was indistinguishable from a 'moon rock'.
Clementine photo? Got a link?
Why didn't they measure the radiation on the moon when they were there the first time and why does the current mission planned in 2018 have as a goal that they want to know the radiation levels on the Moon? I thought they already went to the Moon. You telling me they're playing golf and they've never measured the radiation??
I hope you'll try to give specifics and links in the future OK? You're just parroting the standard line here. No independent verifications, no links proving your statements. Why not include that?
