Moon Landing Parties

[Deleted member 2463]

I have been re reading this recently. If you are looking for just 1 book on the Apollo programme I'd highly recommend it.

yup this is THE book. Andrew is amazing.

If you are a bit slow can't read, and need hand signals, its been TV serialised by HBO - From the Earth to the moon...

Neil.

I enjoyed moon dust by Andrew Smith

 

[Deleted member 2463]

yup a great book. Charlie Duke is a total gent.

 

[Sako-TRG]

Is this any good

 

[Deleted member 2463]

There are two books I really recommend:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bringing-C...nathan+Ward&s=books&sr=1-2&text=Jonathan+Ward




both amazing books. Bringing Columbia Home is touching.

'8 Days: To the Moon and Back' that was on BBC last night is definitely worth a watch. It is on catch up - https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0006p5f

I use a 'Fisher Space Original AG7 Astronaut Retractable Pen' at work, awesome pen with a very satisfying 'click' operation.

It still seems mind-boggling to me they attempted, and succeeded, in getting to the moon and back. There were so many opportunities for it all to go wrong.

The one that wrecks my head is getting back a partially-exploded craft back.

There's planning to utterly extremes, using all of your resources to their maximum and bringing your A-game... and then there was Apollo

 

[Paul]

Well i think that they never went there and it was all an elaborate hoax.

Indeed. Freddo and Jim are great folks too

And my favourite response to all of that, is to mention that it was easier to go there than it was to fake all of the collateral we have from it! And that's just the evidence, never mind the human element...!

if only pictures like this where faked then

Well i think that they never went there and it was all an elaborate hoax.

if only they'd stop faking pictures like this too then huh?

Seriously.... It would be easier to actually land on the moon than pull off a hoax of that magnitude [emoji23][emoji23]

Apollo 11, 12, 13 (aborted) , 14, 15, 16, 17..... all a hoax. Yeaaaaaah right.

The theories are bobbins and have been comprehensively debunked many times.

Truth Behind the Moon Landing

Ha ha, I love the synopsis - "NASA Nazi Conspiracy. Experts investigate if there was a conspiracy to fake the moon landings. Does a secret report suggest the Nazis were involved in the Apollo space programme". They get blamed for everything those guys.

 

[mark9]

Surely if the Yanks had landed there 50 years ago there would be a Mcdonalds and Starbucks on there already?

MCDONALD'S OPENS ON THE MOON

SAN BERNARDINO – The McDonald’s Corporation announced its plans to expand the franchise into unchartered territory. They're building a Mickey D’s on the moon!

I could do that in Photoshop...

Firing something off and setting a course is one thing.

Sending humans to the moon, and then getting them back in one piece... 50 years ago (in 7 days)... is completely different. And suspiciously why we have NEVER done it since. Just smells to me.

One of my favorite videos just because it's nicely structured, it tickles my nerd gland with his shared practical experiences with filmstock, and of course it's piledriving the whole silly idea down into the ground with just *one* part of it alone...

Well they were, Wernher von Braun was a nazi scientist.

 

[Arv]

His Vengeance 3 became the Apollo rocket iirc.

hmm!

From Apollo XVII


From LROC taking a picture of the Taurus-Littrow landing site....

not really.

What Von Braun brought to Apollo was confidence, the US had most of the technology well in plan. He convinced Kennedy it could be done and got the money but very little technology traces back to the nazi design. He had wanted to go to the moon for many many years. In actual fact his original design would have had the Saturn V land on the moon rather than the lunar orbit rendezvous that was used.

The electronics and guidance systems needed were super beyond anything anyone in the world had. Its why the US had a advantage in building IC's for so long and why our pinball machines go beep rather than chime!

 

[PBrookfield]

There's also the whole... you know... Russia bit. You know, the whole cold war thing?

For the moon landings to be fake, you also require that the USA, and the Soviet Union were actually secret enough best-buddies that they felt the need to fake a giant space race. For some reason. And to both be happy with the USA winning the fake 'race'.

Otherwise the first people to call bull**** would have been Russia, surely not?

Well... they didn't. Because they knew it happened. They were kind of trying for the same thing, and had the radios tuned in, the cameras on and the telescopes all pointed in the right direction, and therefore saw themselves losing this little cold war race.


An alliance between America and the Soviet Union to support the hoax?!?
It definitely is easier to go to the moon than achieve that...

My bad Saturn V, not Apollo. It's been a while.
