Not true.
None of these are authentic videos from NASA. Try again.

The real conspiracy is that Rumsfeld and Kissinger started this whole moon hoax theory.

One thing you need to know is that it was tested in earth orbit at an altitude that simulated the moons gravity.

I already stated, I don't have to prove my claims.

You are the one taking up a stance that is opposite to commonly accepted knowledge.

Tell me why they would have launched an empty Saturn V, worth countless dollars, into the atmosphere just to fake the moon landing in a studio

The earths gravity diminishes according to the inverse square law...at some point it is 1/6th of the force as measured at sea level...you work it out. Of course it varies but they were able to test the retro rockets at an altitude where there is a pretty good approximation of the gravity of the moon.

Bokonon, what do you think is the best piece of evidence that the landings were faked?
Originally posted by jra
Are you seriously denying the fact that when an object enters the Earth's atmosphere at high speeds, and experiences extreme heat due to friction. That it has no effect on the appearance of the object?
And what helped scientists recognize their Lunar origin, was by comparing them to the samples brought back from the Apollo missions.

Tell us how to distinguish alleged Apollo "moon rocks" from lunar meteorites with the outer crust taken out.

You check for micro-meteorite impacts (and other things that could be simulated using the facilities at JPL/NASA.)

Well, I assume you have the ability to read. Take a look at the various links I posted. Specifically the one titled, "How Do We Know That It’s a Rock From the Moon?". You just might find some answers in there... assuming you're even interested.

Please explain as to how one can simulate micro-meteorite impacts. I have yet to see an explanation how. And by "other things" do you mean stuff like showing signs of having formed in 1/6th gravity, or crystal damage from cosmic rays?
Really, I'd love to know how this can be faked here on Earth.

you bring up some very good questions and points leather. for everyone beleiving that the landing was real i have a few key points to point out.
1st why is the american flag in the landing picture looks like it has been glued straight, isn't there supposedly no atmosphere on the moon?
2nd if there is no atmosphere on the moon how then is there water or ice pockets in craters?
3rd if scientists can build a hadron collider, that quit possibly could open up a black hole, why have we not been back up to the moon?
just curious?

Actually after re-reading the entire thread, I'd have to say this has turn out to be a lynching party, well deviated from the original topic.
ummmm yeah....
Again read people, info these days isn't that hard to find!
Most of all these answers have been answered a trillion times!
I hope a mod reads this and closes this thread!

Yes, if you speed up the movies from the Moon things look like fall they way would on Earth. But did you notice how much longer the dust stays in the air in the Nevada video than it does in the Moon video (check around 1:00)? That's because there is air. In the moon video the dust just flops back to the surface.
Could you provide quantitative analysis of the alleged "moon" dynamics of the dust.
Thanks.
