During the final moments of each of the Apollo landings, the descent engine exhaust swept fine particles away from the area immediately beneath the spacecraft, much of it (most of it?) launched into flat, radially-outward trajectories. During a 19 September 2001 interview with historians Stephen Ambrose and Douglas Brinkley at NASA Johnson, Neil Armstrong commented: "I was absolutely dumbfounded when I shut the rocket engine off and the particles that were going out radially from the bottom of the engine fell all the way out over the horizon. [Rephrasing the thought] When I shut the engine off, they just raced out over the horizon and instantaneously disappeared, you know, just like it had been shut off for a week. That was remarkable. I'd never seen that. I'd never seen anything like that. And logic says, yes, that's the way it ought to be there [because of the lack of an atmosphere], but I hadn't thought about it and I was surprised."
The tapes aren't lost, insists the NASA official put in charge of the search. But he doesn't know where they are.

if any of you non believers did your research about the van allen radiation belt you would know the moon trip was not a hoax. Van Allen says it himself, the astronauts would have to sit in the radiation belt for hours, upon hours and that just was not the case.

I have explained about the rad levels. So has ngchunter. Im beggining to believe that the non believers are either pig ignorant, and stubborn, or just here to annoy the living crap out of half way sensible people. Unfortunately I am already engaged in a dialouge of sorts , but I advise giving this a wide berth. Since one of the non believers has already said there is nothing I can do to convince him, and refuses to accept factual scientific principles as evidence , I dont see what further interaction can do, and Im probably going to move on to a thread with clever people in it soon lol
(incedentaly last comment does not apply to ngc who has tried his butt off to educate the fallen- God bless you dude)

This is familiar territory, that video that GF just brought up is a thread killer.

Maybe you can tell us all about the specially-cooled Hasselblad cameras and the film that was somehow able to resist 300 degree F temperatures?
The Hasselblads used on the moon had polished stainless steel bodies which reflected most of the sunlight (and heat). They did not get hot.

I was being facetious. "Phage" claimed the Hasselblad cameras had polished chrome bodies that reflected the 300 degree lunar heat -- which would've literally melted any acetate-based film.
As you can see, the Hasselblad bodies were black. This is another example of why you can't trust anything the NASA shills say.

I thought it must have been an important point based on the comedic act that followed your posting up the image.
