Apollo Moon Landing Hoax
Another problem with the moon landing photos can be seen in the next two Apollo images below. Several astronauts
seem to be lit up, as if they were standing in a spot light, even though they are in a large shadow on the moon!
Many moon landing hoax debunking
theories have been made to explain
this. The most popular explanation is
the Earth gives off its own light that
highlights the astronauts. But if the
Earth gave off that much light, then a
shadow would appear behind each
person, and there would be multiple
shadows in every moon photo. The
Earth does give off some light but not
enough to hi-light.
Instead, this anomaly is due to the
reflectiveness of the moon. The sun
light hits the moons surface, and
reflects onto the astronaut ‘hi-lighting’
him.
This at the time was a remarkable feat, as the cameras were attached
to the astronauts chests (see next image) so the astronauts couldn’t
see where they were shooting on the moon or whether the picture
was focused properly.
If this was true then it would be suspicious. But simple sifting through
files shows the real story. NASA wouldn’t print a moon photo took by
Buzz if he chopped off the top of Neil’s head. And it definitely wouldn’t
appear on the cover of The New Scientist magazine.
At the time it was costly to develop photos, so NASA wouldn’t waste
money on faulty photos. The same as you and I wouldn’t show all of
the faulty photos, to our friends. But now vast libraries can be put
online for free, so all of the faulty photos can be seen in all there glory.
This also happens on Earth.
When you wear a white top
in the sunlight, – even if you
have a cap that forms a
shadow – your face will still
be lit up by the reflective sun
light, when it hits the
reflective surface of your
white t-shirt.
Conspiracy believers also
think that many of the moon
landing photos have been
doctored. This is because the
quality of the photos are
constant with every picture.
All of the photos are focused
and every thing is in view.
The U.S. Space Program
Soon after the United States launched its own satellite. But the American public was concerned about the Soviet space program. Politicians feared that
Soviet superiority in space could threaten national security. In response the American government replaced NACA with NASA - the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration in 1958. One of NASA's missions was to have strong peaceful purposes in the exploration of space.
Much as they had with airplanes, people began realizing the usefulness of satellites. Satellites could help in navigation and weather forecasting as well as
observing, collecting and transmitting information about the earth's atmosphere and space phenomena as well as information beneficial to national
security. Some satellites acted as small telescopes or housed equipment for science experiments.
In October, 1958 , within its first week, NASA announced, Project Mercury, the first of three manned space programs for the United States.
In 1961, President John F. Kennedy announced the United States' plans of a mission to the moon. The president promised that U.S. astronauts would land on
the moon before the decade was over. And with each project goal achieved, the United States was one step closer to reaching the moon. Other projects in
the U.S. space program, like Project Gemini and Project Apollo, contributed to this goal.
Without previous experience in space travel scientists thought that regular food might "explode" in the low gravity of space. So the first foods the early
astronauts ate was a paste-like substance squeezed from something like toothpaste tubes.
NASA's ultimate goal was to send people to the moon. On July 20, 1969, this dream became reality when Americans Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin stepped
onto the moon.
