You might have a hard drive with billions and billions of Apollo images. But the only Apollo images that matter are those released by NASA itself on .gov servers or printed in NASA books with government catalogue numbers. Everything else, all other Apollo images, are simulations of the authentic, original NASA negatives, which everyone admits are in the public domain.
Let me ask. The crosshairs are all black, they need to fill-in those black areas with whatever color information to put into those black areas. Those black areas are the 'fiducials'. NASA's famous pixel wizardry will insert new color information into those black areas. The new information encoded into those black areas may be some sort of covert/overt messaging system, or, at the very least, there is ample opportunity for a whistleblower to insert new information into these Apollo images, inside the fiducials ; information that could possibly lead to a NASA disclosure, of some kind, possibly E.T.
The cross hairs were intended for a scientific purpose.

It's not like these images are science images. No one does any scientific analysis from these pictures, because that's not what they are intended for.

The cross hairs were intended for a scientific purpose. 'Fiducials' were used to measure any amount of physical distortion to the film negatives, on many of the various film formats that were used during the missions. They placed the 'fiducials' on the glass plate inside the Hasselblad in order to permanently record those 'fiducials' ontp the Apollo film negatives.
Now NASA is removing the 'fiducials' for purely arbitrary, NON-scientific reasons.
Here is what the copyright statement says in words you can understand:
NASA took these photographs.
You can't say that you took these photographs.
You can't mess with these photographs and say that NASA took them.
You can't try and make money out of these photographs without asking us first.
If you use these photographs, you should ask us nicely and tell people they are NASA photographs.
Anything else is your personal spin on it.

Okay.
Removing the backgrounds and removing the fiducials is my personal spin!! Nice propaganda transfer you got there buddy! Aren't you doing a little card-stacking yourself?
The original, unprocessed raw scans are also provided on this website in full-resolution 16-bit TIFF format.
apollo.sese.asu.edu...
The staff at JSC has a rigorous procedure for removing film from the freezer for scanning or making copies.
The sealed film canister is transferred from the freezer to the refrigerator where it is allowed to equilibrate for 24 hours.
The sealed canister is then removed from the refrigerator and placed in a room temperature environment and allowed to equilibrate for an additional 24 hours.
The film is then removed from the canister, hand cleaned (see below) and scanned.
The film is placed back in the canister, sealed, and then placed back in the cold vault.
Okay.

you're cherry picking your quotes
Boss: Hey team, it would be an awesome thing, if we could take out the Apollo negatives from the CIA cold storage facility, and you know, re-scan them, you know, and take out the cross hairs?
Team: Sounds like a great plan! Just don't tell the history department! They'll go nuts!
Boss: We have the total support of the history department. They are on board for this.
Team: Cool. Let's set up some legally binding contracts with our buddies at Arizona State! They have always been so helpful to NASA in the past/
Boss: Great idea! I know some people over there, you know, from networking in the Company.
Team: We are all one Company!
Boss: Okay. Everybody break out a deck of cards and play a game of solitaire....
team: hey boss what about all the private images people have been collecting for 40+ years
boss: no worries, we will have the CIA/NAZI's break into every single house in the world and hack into every single PC in the world and steal their images and replace them with images with no reseau marks.. they will be non the wiser
team: how will the CIA/NAZI perform such an amazing feat though?
boss: you forget, we are NASA.. our powers are akin to GOD

No way, OBMonkey. Accusations of cherry-picking are totally off topic. We are arguing the meaning of the document we are discussing, specifically, this webpage, apollo.sese.asu.edu...
As a matter of fact, between myself, yourself and choos, we've nearly copied the entire text of the source page into this thread! and we have, each of us, annotated our interpretations to it. Are you going to do the fair thing now?
Will you accuse choos of cherry picking and admit that you did it yourself, too?
Back to the business of Disclosure
The NASA/CIA/ASU effort to photoshop the Apollo film records is totally predictable because the reseau pattern marks are one more fatal flaw in the Apollo narratives, which NASA has spent the last 40 years "harmonizing the scriptures", so to speak.

the background is removed from all of the scans, by assuming that the average DN values of the unexposed regions at the edge of each raw scanned image represent the background (i.e., film base and fog). Source apollo.sese.asu.edu...

they wanted to, but they simply could not, there was not enough funding to continue going to the moon.. do you know anything about history?? do you even know when it was that apollo 18-20 were cancelled and for what reasons?? are you even aware of the budgets from 1968-1972??
it is your expectations.. you expected them to continue going to the moon, when financially and politcally they could not..
Originally posted by choos
it is not a step backwards.. just look at the feat of the ISS.. the ISS has more technology in it than the entire apollo program.. it is the single most expensive human project to date.. and its a step backwards because you believe it is, due to your ignorance??
you cant study the effects of microgravity on the moon.. its safer and cheaper to have a science lab in LEO than on the moon.. if you believe its safer and cheaper to have a science lab on the moon you do not live in reality.

[money funds technology.. how many times do i have to tell you this.. without money there is no technology.. seriously just look at research and development.. look at how much any large corporation spends on research and development..
and all the technology issues are mostly related to the heavy lift vehicle.. the only thing related to the orion casule is the automated process of manufacturing the heatshield (technology that has never existed) and reducing mass.. most of the other technology issues are related to the heavy lift vehicle and making it safer and more reliable.. read the report fully..
Originally posted by choos
no your report says the main reason it is not going as well as it can is because they cannot secure funding.. the entire report was basically saying there wasnt enough funding to support the constellation program.. have you even read past the first two pages??
everything you have listed here is money money money, and then they didnt get money and then you proceed to conclude its not about money??? they need money to pay engineers to solve the issues.. the technology exists..

Boss: Now listen to me Team, you are getting sleepy, very, very sleepy. It's time to relax in your fluffy chairs and think the following words and repeat them in your mind.... follow me.... "We don't ask questions because it's for national security reasons." Repeat after me...
Team, in unison: We don't ask questions because it's for national security reasons.
Boss: Very good team. Now, report back to me when you have removed the back grounds and fiducial cross hairs from every Apollo image in our physical control, which is all of them. Keep in mind the mission is to preserve the Apollo heritage by removing the back ground and fiducials from the Apollo photographic image records. Do you understand your mission is for the Red Queen?
Team, in unison: Red Queen mission acknowledged!

question to anybody.
If NASA is able to track one piece of Apollo space junk why can't NASA track the missing Apollo lunar ascent modules? Eagle or Orion, are still missing, in 2013.

Why is NASA afraid of disclosing the truth about Eagle & Orion? Were the two missing modules used in clandestine lunar operations? Could they still be active operations using these modules? As laser weapons platforms?
A long-lost piece of an Apollo rocket has returned to Earth's orbit after decades of racing around the sun - the first time our planet has captured an object from solar orbit.

I've already told you why those excuses don't work. They had money to spend on the Shuttle program. over ~40 years. It was not done for political gain, rather the opposite - it was mainly seen as a waste of money. Or of little benefit.
But it went along, with NASA's propaganda / spin.
It is clearly a step backwards.
The goal is not to improve a technology for its own sake.
The goal is to explore space, to know more about our universe. Technology is really the 'tool 'we use, iwhichallows us to reach out for those goals.
In human space exploration, one step was going into near-Earth orbit.. To go one complete orbit in NEO. And then to go into LEO.
The next step was not just to go beyond LEO, Supposedly, the next step was going right to the moon,
Amazing.
So what did they plan to do after that? You know, right?
It wasn't to go back into LEO, for the next 40 years.
That's utter nonsense.
Look -
You say the technology required for a manned moon mission will take loads of money to be (fully) developed... right?
Apollo's technology is an example, yes?
The goal was to land on the moon, then longer stays, and a moon base, right? See their documents, if you doubt this.
It was too costly, supposedly, and that's why it died for good.
It's much cheaper to develop technology for the Shuttle. To fly in LEO makes perfect sense, as tthe next step after landing on the moon.
Wow, sure thing.
If you could quote a snippet or two, maybe? Your saying so just doesn't cut it.
