| Quote ="TheButcher"The trouble with people that have time invested into 'alternate versions of reality' is that it is easier to fall further and further down the rabbit hole than change their views and have to climb out. You will never ever find a 'reformed' conspiracy theorist. Once they are in, they are in forever. Admitting that something they may put forward is flaky in the evidence department is a massive no-no. The constant covering of one idea to the next is exhausting. They go round and round in ever tightening circles, until all they can hear is themselves. They get bogged-down in the minutiae of a particular point without realising the ridiculousness of the larger argument.'"
This is a flawed argument on many levels. I mean, I've never really bothered investigating Apollo and compared with others who have invested years I'm a total novice.
The questions I have asked are very simple. If Apollo is everything NASA claims the answers should also be simple.

| Like I often say in the Unmediated History thread. The only people who believe in this stuff either a) haven't researched it or b) are somehow invested (or both).
And before anyone replies with some psychobabble about "finding what you want to" - remember, I was as ardent a supporter of the Apollo program as anyone for over forty years. Anyone who knows anything about my hobbies and interests will testify that I really [uDID NOT[/u want to arrive at this conclusion. I was once LIKE YOU.

But as I said earlier, whether it's a truth or a lie, life goes on.

| While i could understand such a massive hoax being pulled in the 60s/70s , i believe other countries would now be able to provide evidence to prove it, you might suggest they could be bought off, but i would imagine Mr Putin would reish the chance to embarass the US
There is 1 major issue which could support the claims of those that dont believe, and that is that in 40 years with massive increases in technology nobody has sent a human being outside a low earth orbit as far as I know

It wasn't aimed at you, just a general observation.
Why is it flawed? Show me where the flaws are. Show me a conspiracy theorist that isn't any longer. Show me a conspiracy theorist that has accepted evidence that goes against their own ideas. I've never come across any. There may be some somewhere, I'd be interested to see them if they exist.

Aww, feeling inadequate again, Mugs? there, there, don't take on so!
Quote ="Mugwump"A simple YES or NO question: If one is familiar with the inverse square law and its effects on LIGHT INTENSITY is it POSSIBLE for you to look at a photograph and arrive at a reliable conclusion about whether a SINGLE LIGHT SOURCE of KNOWN SIZE is close to the subject or far away based solely on the EFFECTS of said light source? '"
Fsck me, now you think you're Rumpole!
Short answer: It depends.
Longer answer:
1. I don't see the direct relevance.
2. You won't explain the relevance of your "point" (or indeed what your point actually is) so how can anyone sensibly consider whatever it is you are getting at?
3. It isn't a "yes or no" question. You don't get to set a multiple choice of 2 one-word answers! What next, "Have you stopped beating your wife?"
Quote ="Mugwump"I know the answer to this question and can prove it experimentally.'"
Well, you [ithink[/i you do, and if so, good for you! My congratulations! I'd just like to know, how big is your studio (length minimum 93 million miles? Must be expensive to rent) and how do you recreate a G-type main-sequence yellow dwarf star for your re-creation?
If you can't do that, then you would have to set out how you recreate these basic parameters in some other way, in order to arrive at your proof. What is your proof? I'd be fascinated.
I know that your question, such as it presently is, is of no apparent direct relevance to what we are discussing, so unless you can re-frame it in a way where we can see your point and any relevance, you seem to be wasting your time.
I think you've watched too many old TV courtroom dramas and genuinely see yourself like Rumpole or Perry Mason, with a killer question. When what you need is a less banal scriptwriter.
While the "single" (sic) light source you probably refer to (the Sun) was naturally there, any items on the surface were illuminated by more than one light source; the Sun's light was reflected back from the regolith; the Earth was in the sky and acting as another light source (earthshine, much like moonshine on earth, but more variable, and from a bigger object); and the camera had an integral FLASH; which when used would also scatter off the regolith, astronauts' clothing, lander etc. as the individual image's case may be.
As it is, you're trying to infer that you have some sort of killer point, based on your self-proclaimed immense knowledge of the inverse square law and photographic exposures, but your tactic of "[iLook, I KNOW what the issue is here, and it is OBVIOUS, and so I DON'T ACTUALLY NEED TO MAKE MY POINT, I can just ask obligue rhetorical questions and this will suffice[/i" is cringeworthy.
But at least you are learning stuff. I've taught you that there is no air on the Moon, and that the Sun is actually not a small light source, so I am furthering your scientific education. I don't expect gratitude.

There are only two possible explanations here ...... you are either perfectly normal or you are a pompous prat.
And since nobody is perfect, what does that make you?
I am getting the hang of this ......

| Quote ="FLAT STANLEY"[iSince you brought up Google. Have you ever seen a Google Maps or Google Earth planes and vehicles cruising around taking pictures for their "street view". Well, if we were to believe that satellite imaging is as accurate as always displayed, satellites should be quite capable of capturing images of buildings down to the tyre marks on the pavement, and easily creating a street based view. ..'"
This actually illustrates very well why you are so gullible. You could have spent a short time gaining the basic preliminary knowledge of the limits on optical resolution, and then you would not have made this stupid remark. Instead, you just blindly rely on some superficially attractive (to you) madcap "theory" which is scientifically unsound.
The fact is that any optical lens has an absolute limit of the resolution it can reach. I have lots of them which I use on my cameras and my telescope, and understand resolution very well.
Cameras on the satellites in question are simply incapable of achieving the resolution you suggest. If you want to know why this is a fact, just look it up. Google "Airy pattern"for a start. You seem to think it is just possible to "zoom in" infinitely but sadly it's not.

But I keep giving you the means to actually see and experience hundreds of satellites passing over your head, and yet you constantly ignore the fact that you =#FF0000CAN see them =#FF0000WITH YOUR OWN EYES on any clear night - if you choose to do so.
I have asked you many times to explain how this can be so, if the satellites did not exist, and you always completely ignore this rather large elephant in your room. Are you afraid to contemplate the answer? Occam wouldn't be.
But as I'm a helpful kind of guy, here are just some of the ones visible in the general Leeds night sky this early evening. Any time you want to explain how come you can see them, if they don't exist, please, do feel free!

| Your poor response is what is "pathetically embarrassing". You continue to make an utter fool of yourself.
You claim to want to see satellites for yourself, if they exist.
There is NO image ANYONE could EVER provide to you, which you would EVER accept, unless it fitted your bizarre beliefs. But the direct evidence of your own eyes would, if you are sane, and not a troll, be all you needed.
So, you could see loads of satellites, if you only wanted to. I have merely provided you with the tools. But I already knew you dare not use them, for fear of having to swallow your pride and admit your error to yourself.
Everyone knew you would bluster and swerve the issue. You really are a laughing stock.
That's your problem, but there's the list, you need only look up into the sky. Couldn't make it any easier for you.
