SciBoyMaam, show me proof of the US flag on the lunar surface. MAke me a believer. You should be able to find some present day footage of someone from somewhere zooming in on the moon and showing us the flag.
Did this guy just say "I've been on morning television so I know all about broadcasting and sending signals from the moon to the earth?" This tells you all you need to know. He is one of those people that know everything better then anybody else in the world.
"An explorer came home . . . and no one followed him" There was a gap of 127 years between Abel Tasman, the first European explorer to visit New Zealand, and James Cook the second, so there's an example of exploration not progressing from the first step to the second. There would be numerous other examples.
Add to it the Cassini and New Horizons missions. We will probably go back to Saturn at some point, and maybe even Pluto. But it will likely be a while because those things are hard to do, take a long time to do, and are super expensive. Not to mention we haven't been back to Neptune or Uranus since Voyager 2 in the 80s. But we might one day.
9:14 I love the fact that when he lists what he thinks are problems with transmitting radio from the Moon to the Earth is the vacuum of space! Yes, because nothing stops radio waves like nothing!
"I know all about television broadcasting" says guys who has no idea that a signal pathway involves a transmitter AND A RECEIVER and both of these things matter. Like, the most basic of basic things about broadcasting, and he doesn't know it. But brags that "he knows all about it". Uh-huh.
There's no luminiferous aether in the vacuum to carry the waves! Remember, the Michelson-Morley experiment proved that the earth is stationary in the luminiferous aether! Also, remember that many flat earthers have proved that photons get pooped out and stop moving after traveling a finite distance. (j/k)
@@brucetucker4847 Remenber that the M-M experiment is false, and has been debunked as not beeing able to prove any movement at all. Also, remenber, that the "proves" for photons to move only finite distances has been debunked too many times, and proven to be completly false.
And how he says that "giant dishes" are needed to broadcast television 50 miles on earth but completely neglects to mention that those "giant dishes" are tiny compared to the 70-metre radio antennas of the deep-space network.
That "Did they forget about the cameraman recording their departure?" always amazed me. The Dunning Kruger to think that nobody at NASA for all those decades of preparation thought to bring up - "Won't some genius skeptic notice we left someone behind on the moon to operate the camera"? "Nah. There won't be anyone THAT smart for at least 60 years or so."
That and "NASA couldn't get the stars right" people always get me. Yeah sure bro, the organization that has access to ALL the astronomers couldn't "get the stars right", they were afraid that YOU would spot the fakery so they just removed them :P
If you want to go full dumb mode in engineering you can attach a wire to your ship that it's connected to a bag of sand that it's below a platform where the camera is. Once you take off, the wire will gonna pull out a patch from that bag of sand and make it reduce it's volume, tilting the camera on its back. Therefore you don't need a new system to send and receive info, but only one who send like the radio system which already existed way before NASA was a thing to the public.
Lol, most people are Brain damaged from all the Netflix and Hollywood movies they watch. Look how many retards still believe the official story of 9/11
Funniest part for me was his idea that a camera MUST be only controlled by a person. Has he never heard of remote control? It's a miracle he can turn on his TV, let alone turn it off again.
He doesn't debate people at all, when anyone challenges him, as in, asks a question or gives him the answer he's looking for, he simply says they're an idiot and bans them. Lol
He’s so “smart” because he did the exact same “research” that all the other morons did and repeated the exact same arguments that are so easily explained. It’s shocking, how brain dead he is when he said you needed “7 feet of lead” to survive being in the vacuum of space I nearly spit my coffee out. 5 minutes of google can explain ALL of his questions. RUclips can be useful for some stuff but it’s no way a great area for “research”. Dear oh dear.
@@Dyno05 Problem is that he would not believe a single word written in Wikipedia (or only if it would fit his preconceptions, what it doesn't at all). I've seen it so often with conspiracy nuts, it is their basic MO.
Just a note to posterity… My dad (deceased, now) worked on the LEMs. Yay Dad! Electrical engineer. Back then, they were very free on family open house day. I was a kid…maybe six, trying to see the inside beyond all the adult buttocks in my way, so I got clever and crawled between their legs. I didn’t realize I’d crawled all the way inside! I’m the only child to go inside the LEM! Lol, Dad yanked me out by the legs…no, he wasn’t pleased! He went on to work on the shuttle when the program started up in FL.
My grandfather did too. If you ever read The Grumman Story you can read about Leroy Grumman working with him when Leroy decided to start his own business. If he didn't get an extra $5/week for the additional commute he would have passed on the job. Instead Charlie Solarski was the fifth person Grumman ever hired. He worked on the metal fabrication and Leroy described him as a genius. The Lunar Excursion Module definitely landed on the moon.
He'd claim that was fake too, "Do you know anyone who actually had Spanish Flu? It's bs man!" Conveniently ignoring that there is hardly anyone still around 104 years later.
@@Extraterrestrial-Bilu honestly it makes him look worse. Cuz that means he has a means of learning, but doesn't use it. He's intentionally dishonest and consciously chooses to be an absolute moron
This has got to be one of the biggest displays of personal incredulity washed down with lashings of dunning kruger that I've ever had the misfortune of witnessing. Thanks Dan, keep it up. Cheers.

To be fair, have you _seen_ the subscription fees for physics? They're insane. And it bogs you down, too. Keeps you from going anywhere you want. I've given it up myself. I just bum off my family subscription when I need it.
No he thinks physics is short for physical education, which he also skipped because he doesnt need that shit its for homosexuals, he would go to the basketball courts like a real man!
Man just throws in "the homosexuals" like oh my god where on earth did you pull that out of, like you're just gonna toss in some homophobia while you're at your conspiracy? Truly impressive
Dunning Kruger is amazing, imagine having the confidence to call literal rocket scientists idiots over something as basic as thermodynamics "uhh herr derr how did you keep the batteries cool", yeah man I think the freaking rockets scientists have maybe taken that into account...
Dunning Kruger predicts you have to at least have a bit of knowledge. This guy doesnt understand the concepts, hence for him it doesnt exist. If its too advanced for the average joe its clearly fake. My friends, theres a reason why scientists are some of the most brilliant minds in the general population, because that stuff is unfathomably complicated to grasp
Yeah indeed, agreeing to debate this guy about rocket science would be like me sitting down with my cat to debate geopolitical finances. My cat wouldn't understand anything I was saying and eventually either walk away or fall asleep, same would happen with this lad.

@@Kualinar yes a debate is over a policy or an idea like resolved: the school budget should be increased Not is the earth round. Basic facts are not debatable Debating with a paranoid ignorant ignorant person is a waste of time They are good for comic value only
Apollo telemetry data was never ever lost. All data was passed on to various departments within NASA as well as the various organisations and companies that played a part in building and developing the technology. The only telemetry tapes that were lost was the Original "BACKUP" Slow scan TV footage transmitted via Universal S-Band from the LEM to the various receivers on Earth Dan mentioned. But when Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walked on the moon the entire worlds TV channels had seen it and recorded. So there was nothing on those tapes that anyone had already seen by millions of people and recorded by hundreds of TV networks.
Exactly. This derpo can't even grasp copying of data from one storage device to another--like, the way he _uploaded_ his video to a server that _copied_ it to back-up servers and other people _downloaded_ his video. Derp derp derp derp derp. Whadda maroon.
I taped over all my VHS tapes after I had copied them over so I could reuse the tape a few times. I then dump[ed them onto DVD or hard drive when digital became available. Nothing was lost. It was standard practise.
This is an example of how the gap between educated and uneducated people is alarmingly increasing. The worst part of it is that the uneducated ones aren't people who couldn't go to school; they did but were unable to take any profit of it. The current educational systems, so indulgent with lazy people, are a serious menace.
the irony of a man talking about when has technology advanced and then gone backwards in a world where 4k cameras exist filming himself ranting on a potato cam
I really wish Don Pettit hadn't said that Nasa _destroyed_ the technology. Of course the technology wasn't destroyed. How can you destroy technology anyway? The knowledge and documentation are still around. It would have been better if he had said that the production lines were mothballed or that R&D was redirected, but to be fair to him he didn't know that flerfs would seize on that one word.
@@richardhanck972 I re-watched because you wrote that he has _books_. (The first time through I listened as I did other tasks.) That seems so out of character that I felt compelled to go back and watch. They are not clear, but I think that they are CDs rather than books. Kudos to you for your charity.
12:06 Well, no, Dan. The rooster tails produced by the lunar rover show that it was in a vacuum and low gravity. There's also a 360-degree pan from Apollo 17. That alone demolishes the claim it was filmed in a studio with studio lighting and a camera crew off to the side.
@@ohger1 The flerf referred to "pictures" on the moon and did not restrict it to Apollo 11. He was dismissing _all_ moon landings, so when you have good evidence that debunks that claim, it makes no sense not to cite that evidence. And movie footage and videos are harder to fake than photos.
He's so in love with the idea that he knows things, that he just skipped the part where he actually gained the knowledge. And great music choice, couldn't have found a tackier cover of a song that doesn't fit the format to begin with. But hey, he knows what he's doing, he was on plenty of morning shows.
You could add me to the list. I am old enough to have watched the TV coverage live. I was also, therefore, old enough to watch the Watergate scandal unfold - when I learned that the G-men could not even cover up a hotel break-in!
I'm just the right age to remember Watergate, and the later moon landings, but even though I'm told I watched the Apollo 11 landing at age 3, I have no memory of it. That obviously means it didn't happen. Personal incredulity and ignorance are, after all, the ultimate arguments.
Add me to the list, I was 10 years old for Apollo 11. To be honest, I didn't see the actual Moon landing on 11. But then no one besides Neil and Buzz did; no TV camera during the landing! The moonwalk? Definitely. And once they were back on Earth there was film from a camera mounted in the window to see how the landing happened. 🙂
And he didn't even get the silly arguments right. That's "7 feet of lead is required to shield from the radiation", not "needed to keep out the vacuum".
That was the sum total of his "looking into this", looking at other idiot flerf Yt channels. He has zero interest in anything that might get him out of his 7ft of lead lined echo chamber.
@@PaulSchober Well, when it comes to the Van Allen Belt, it is mostly particle radiation - and this can be shielded with much less efforts. It is gamma radiation that would need lead shielding and is more of a problem *outside* the VAB. But even there it is low enough for a moon mission (not for a mars mission, though). The argument is ridiculous from the get-go, no matter if he gets it right in the first place or not.
one atmosphere of pressure is 15 PSI, a car tire holds 40 PSI a SCUBA tank holds 3000 PSI. I've no idea where he got the nonsense about using lead to contain pressure, but he obviously has not "looked into it"
A pop can is less than 0.1mm thick aluminium but can be pressurised up to 90 psi, Pneumatic control systems run at 90 psi / 6Bar yet we use nylon tubes less than 1mm thick. This failed comedian knows zero technology.
Wait there's fucking gamma's now... Are they just going to go through the entire greek alphabet? Do these people not realize humans aren't dogs? We don't have such a rigid and well defined socio-sexual personality hierarchy and spoiler: neither do dogs.
Conspiracy theories are just an ego trip for resentful losers. It's a way for them to feel superior to others without having to do anything except spout nonsense.
As soon as he said, "Eight inches per mile squared." he earned his diploma from DKU (Dunning Kruger University). DKU, where you learn nothing, but know everything.
"I looked into it", which means he read what conspiracy theorists say about it. Funny how his "proof" consists entirely of questions and not understanding how things work. It's never "they say this is how they did it, this is why that cannot work". No, it's always "I don't understand how this could possibly work, therefore, it's fake".
he completely ignores that there have been a lot of things that were abandoned as not being profitable. Betamax, New Coke, Blockbuster Video, his comedy career...
I was helping a relative clean out a home of an older relative that passed away back in the late 90s, and in the bottom of a drawer was newspaper used as a liner, the newspaper was dated 1956 and it was the advertisement page for the local stores and what made me take notice was that a bottle of 100 Bayer asprin was 56 cents, the reason it caught my attention was I had purchased that same bottle the day before ( 100 qty Bayer ) for 5.87$, pretty much 10 X the value as what it was... inflation, an awesome thing, too bad my income didnt match it...
He cannot even say undoes. He thinks that a Michael Jackson concert on the moon is a great commercial opportunity, then talks about other peoples credibility. Not even close to sensible. Thanks Dan and keep up the good work.
Calling him a “famous comedian” instead of a “deranged white nationalist” was very kind of you, Dan. Surely he’ll appreciate that small kindness, and maybe decide not to post a completely unhinged response to this video.
I haven't found anything to laugh... He's so stupid that I can't laugh... I've been shaking my head and or giving myself a face slap over his stupidity.
Third time lucky; they tried it on 15 and 16, but muffed both attempts. The pan shot of the Apollo 17 lunar ascent was the shot of Ed Fendell's life. What an achievement. I saw it _live._ It was the chef's kiss for the entire programme.

@@beastmaster415 Except I'm pretty sure this guy is wicked smart, went to an ivy and was recruited by one of the american alphabet agencies before going to Hollywood and doing those shows/movies and of course, all that stand-up....but that sort of implies that your initial logical fallacy has teeth. The una-bomber was wicked smart, and lettered, but couldn't seem to get past the trauma of collegiate sociology experimentation and turned that gun of intellect to focus his crazy. Lunatics can be geniuses. Learned, lettered men/women can be fools. Just who parrots conventional wisdom and who challenges it, particularly in the academic paradigm? What if what we thought we knew about the world around us, was wrong? Predicated on faulty assumptions that are not to be questioned. Ever. Because all of human knowledge, understanding and wisdom stopped in the 1960's. I'd like to revisit the known phenomenon of spontaneous generation. Only the absolute loonies defied this belief; until a madman built the experiment that proved it. I can't get on board with everything Owen Benjamin says, but I'm not so arrogant as to tell the universe I already know how it works, there's math and formulas and stuff, and therefore my position doesn't need to incorporate any new data unless it supports my already held beliefs. I mean knowledge. All relevant data that supports my current position is accurate while anything I find challenging to that position has been designated un-serious tripe, or "fake news," to put a bow on it. I'm sure you've heard this, or an approximation of this, "the science is settled." What an absolutely asinine position. Totally indefensible. Believe me, medicine has it's sacred cows too, and it is absolutely TORTUROUS to get these hospitals to utilize decades of data (better collected, better collated, and, hopefully, better extrapolated)....but they don't. WE don't. Not easily, anyway, even though the supporting data is there. We, human beings, are forever abdicating our autonomy for a complete stranger provided that stranger has enough of the right credentials. Fauci? That guy's a villain, through and through. He's gross, a dirty, corrupt liar. Simply being a doctor does not confer some over-arcing morality...ahem, Joseph Mengele, also a physician...What Fauci did to the early afflicted HIV/AIDS patients??????? Stop defending this guy. He's a villain. Always has been, even though he's an 'expert.' I challenge everyone here, in life, to evaluate every narrative no matter the generating/shielding quarter or tribe...whatever it is that they're saying...does it make sense? I do not have to be a vet to know that an elephant and a mouse cannot breed. I likely won't be able to write a cogent article using field lingo to explain the reasons why from an academic perspective, but does that negate my position? It may render the position unpalatable, but...this is the fallacy of expertise and credentialing. Having advanced degrees does not make me better than anyone here but refusing to see past academic bias would make me a fool. Man is not infallible and therefore anytime we interact with the natural order we have the opportunity to develop, impart and perpetuate our own flaws and bias.
About the Apollo 17 camera, he also ignores that in Apollo 15 and Apollo 16 they failed to do it in time; in Apollo 15, the man handling the remote control even didn't use the proper level on the joystick and the camera didn't move at all...
@@bobblum5973 I didn't check the comments, or I would add my comment in yours! And I can say I know each details of those missions after years of reading the journals, transcriptions of the tapes... Not long ago I help Mr. Sensible with the lunar rover video he did, and as usual, I check everything, from the concept to the performance of each rover. Also the books of each mission published by Praxis are a great source of information!
@@osvaldogreco Thank you, but it's probably better to have separate comments and then mention each other's. That way we're not just agreeing, we're stating what we know from separate viewpoints.
The amount of ignorance that can be cured from this man’s life if he were simply able to accept anybody else’s word as factual other than his own is astounding. It must be hard being the only right person about absolutely everything there ever was after having only done some research using a search engine on your computer though, and for that I commend his strength lol 😂🤦🏻♂️
To be fair, it probably took a bit of work to wade through and ignore all the factual stuff about the moon landing, so that he could find the fringe conspiracy crap among the search responses.
Are people aware that he was a fairly normal guy until he was on Joey Diaz show. Joey was doing a massive amount of edibles and he warned Owen that he wasn't used to them so he should take it easy. Joey Diaz took enough to lay out a bear. Owen did one of Joey's Death Stars, had a very bad time and hasn't been the same ever since. It was on The Church of What's Happening Now #387. Watch Owen Benjamin implode.
he is trying to get on the youtube bandwagon because everything else in his sad life is a failure, disrespecting the brave men from the 60's will get him nowhere, he doesn't yet realise that people might view his content for a laugh unlike his stage act lol
There’s lots of techniques and technologies we have lost. No one can replicate Stradivarius violins. I believe no one can mummify bodies like the ancient Egyptians can. We lose this sort of stuff all the time, often because the need for it has gone. Once the “space race” was over the political impetus had gone and so as Dan pointed did the funding
Also: there was no point in continuing to build Saturn Vs. This rocket was designed to go to the moon. If you just go to low earth orbit (LEO) you don't need a rocket as powerful as a Saturn V. If you decide you move you will have to build (or rent) a powerful truck with lots of space. But once you have moved you don't use that truck any more to go to the grocery next corner. NASA used the last Saturn Vs they had to launch Skylab and a prestige mission to meet up with the russians. Other then that there was no usage for such a powerful rocket. The unmanned missions coming up used much smaller rockets and of course there was the Space Shuttle in development which was believed to change the way to get into LEO and would be much cheaper then building a new rocket every single time (well, that didn't age well)
"When has it ever happened in exploration?" Well, it was 50 years between Amundsen and Scott reaching the pole and people returning to set up a permanent base. Pretty much the same time-scale we have now. And the "technology" to get to the pole wasn't lost or destroyed in those 50 years, it was just that there was no real reason to go back for most of that time. Now we have multiple bases all over Antarctica, run by several different countries, and no doubt in 50 years there will be similar bases on the Moon. It just needs the political will to make it happen.
It's happened loads of times. Leif Erikson discovered the Americas 500 years before Columbus, but nobody followed him because they didn't have any reason to. Marco Polo traveled to China in the 1200s, but European powers didn't try to establish relations with China until the 1400s. The Ming Dynasty sent trade missions all the way to east Africa and the Arabian peninsula but didn't maintain trade routes because it wasn't profitable enough. People don't go on dangerous journeys if they don't see a reason to!
Marco Polo wasn’t even believed to begin with. Leif Eiríksson was a local event. Nobody knew about him for centuries. Antartica is still a mystery. There are no bases on the Moon. Because you guys can’t jerk off so high.
A man who proclaims he knows so much about broadcast TV, yet doesn't know how they panned up or across to film the takeoff, even though this knowledge is available to anyone to find out! A man who, in his own words, is sooo smart. These are great finds Dan!

You are so brainwashed its astonishing. NASA could say they successfully sent people into a black hole and you people would believe them. Watch the "American moon" documentary.

We haven't had a commercial passenger plane that can travel faster than sound for 19 years. Therefore Concorde didn't exist! Or it did exist but we don't use it anymore. The man's a genius. 1000 000 mornings radio/TV, let's say he did 3 a day everyday of his life, that would take over 900 years. A busy, old genius.
Concorde was the first thing that came to mind when he was frothing at the mouth about "technology that we had once and don't have any more". Supersonic passenger flight is a difficult proposition. The Concorde project gave us some great advances like carbon fibre brakes used in many applications nowadays, however it also had vacuum tube technology that was impractical to replace with digital as it was so 'baked in' to the entire aircraft's flight and navigation systems. Boom Technology is working on a supersonic passenger plane now, but even with modern 3D printing technology and composite materials, they are finding it difficult to get make it economically viable. I wish people like Owen, that struggle to do basic algebra wouldn't offhand cancel the work of thousands of minds far more brilliant than theirs.
@@DevanSabaratnam Even older technology is not necessarily easy to recreate. For example, we probably could build a wooden sailing ship of the line if we wanted to, but preparing the wood and re-learning all the personal skills involved in putting one together would probably still take years. Longer still to actually put a crew together to run one! It's not that the technology is "lost" but some things just plain take time no matter how good smartphones are at the moment.
Corridor crew already broke down the footage of the moon and the fact on how it looked could only be done on the moon due to it not having atmosphere and that it would need special FX today to even come close to make it how it looked then.
Harryhausen was the "CGI" of the day, and Instant Replays I think were first showcased at the Mexico Olympics. Not that a broadcasting expert (who plays background music too loud) needs to be told that.

Probably the fact that he never made it as a comedian or actor, coupled with the realisation that there's always an uncritical audience for right-wing views and conspiracy theories
@@andysmith1996 Left wing views are deeply uncritical. They can’t even describe what a woman is now, and seem unconcerned that Biden is sabre rattling with Russia and China at the same time. They have lost the plot.
On the Moon, large objects fall more slowly than on Earth due to the lower gravity BUT kicked-up dust falls back to the ground just as fast as a large object (so a lot faster than on Earth) due to the vacuum. You can simulate the low gravity in an Earth studio by filming a large falling object in slow-motion, but doing so using a film camera at the same time as simulating the fast-falling dust would be pretty impossible unless the whole set could be pumped down to a near vacuum.
@@davemould4638 Wrong. Objects fall the same speed no matter the size. Since there is no atmosphere on the moon nothing slows the fall. Also the falling is not important here but the missing turbulence. Puping out a room is not enough to get the shadows and light right either.
@@atdynax It is you who is wrong. Absent air resistance, objects fall at the same speed ONLY if they are subject to the same gravitational acceleration. The Moon has a much lower gravitational field than the Earth, and so objects fall much slower on the Moon than they do on the Earth (unless slowed considerably by air resistance). The point was that in an atmosphere, dust is slowed by the atmosphere and so falls very slowly, but on the Moon dust falls at the same speed as large objects - hence dust falls a lot faster on the Moon than it does on Earth, whilst large reasonably dense objects fall faster on the Earth than on the Moon. A footstep on the Moon will not kick up a dust cloud because the dust will settle as fast as it is disturbed (though dust clouds can occur due to electrostatic repulsion).
Why send people when we can send rovers at a fraction of the cost to perform the same duties? It makes zero sense to send humans back to the moon at this point unless we plan on setting up a base.
Love the content SciManDan and love to hear you calling attention to the homophobic language he uses. I would love to see the same attention given to his ableist language. He uses the word “retar***” like a 13 year old boy in 1992. It’s gross.
Why does every Moon Denier seem to believe that the Astronauts were in the LM when they skirted through the edges of the Van Allen Belts? Even the crew of Apollo 13 who did spend most of their time in the LM due to the accident had transitioned back to the CM before they reached the Belts on the trip back.
He claims to have "looked into it," Then follows up asking a bunch of idiotic "but how did they do _____?!" questions... Clearly, he did not look into it.
He hasent looked into anything aside from conspiracy videos with rock music playing in the background, couldnt be bothered to study math in school because it was for nerds and now has grown up to be a flat earther and moon landing denier lol, parents must be proud. Cant even understand basic middle school science or math but expects to understand how we landed on the moon lmao
This claim that we lost the technology to land on the Moon is so patently absurd it literally angers me when I hear it. How do they not understand that NASA obviously did not keep an entire manufacturing and supply chain active for the last 50 years just in case anybody ever decided they'd like another Saturn V. When you build rockets that big you build the equipment and buildings around the rocket so when it was time to switch to the shuttle program everything had to be gutted and overhauled to work with shuttle. And finally our technology has obviously improved since then so when we do go back to the Moon we're obviously not going to be doing it with a mechanical computer on board the effort it would take to recreate the Saturn 5 would be more than the work it would take to start from scratch using modern components.
I asked a moonfake nut this question once, and his reply was: If they went to the moon, the companies who build the parts would have kept the facilities to show them to tourists, and that masses of tourists would want to see those facilities. Yeah, like millions of people would go to the US to walk through old production facilities and see old machines, just because with them the moon rockets were build.....
The Saturn Rockets were pretty much hand crafted and of course because of this expensive, viable if you only want a few. Musk has gone the opposite direction with his Space X -> Mass production. Expensive if you only want a few rockets but, if ,you know it will be used for a long time it´s cheaper. It did not make any sense to keep the blueprints because pretty much every part of the Saturn was made exactly for this rocket and as soon as the program stopped all was worthless. We did not simply loose the technology, we sacrificed it and even if we had not. Did anyone think that a rushed program like the apollo one would still pass the modern security requirements ? It is a miracle that no more Astronauts died in those flights but that does not make it untrue. They were lucky and the took the risk to beat russia but nowadays not many would take those risks again.
We lost the technology to launch a shuttle from the surface of the moon or a planet and bring people or samples back to Earth. The only time we had the technology to do that was in the 60 when they invented the touch tone telephone.
Absolute confidence is sometimes an indicator of stupid people or liars. Intelligent and honorable people always have some doubt when they are saying and doing things.
Do these people ever think about what must have happened if what they say is true? Eg, Stanley Kubrick: …and for the finale, we’ll pan upward to get the lander as it takes off. Camera person: Won’t the audience wonder who is moving the camera? The charade will be exposed. SK: We’ll have to chance it. We’re already over our billion dollar budget. We can’t afford to add a dialogue line explaining it’s a remote-controlled camera.
Listening to Owen for longer than 2 minutes reduces brain cells by 10%. Can't imagine how it looks inside Owen's brain compartment... he has to listen to himself all the time.
"Why did they tape over the telemetry data?" How about, because when normal people do something they don't usually worry about having to correct looneys on the internet decades later?
mag tape of that era tended to deteriorate and so was copied onto something more durable. If they had kept it untouched it would be unreadable now even if you could find a working tape reader of the era - which you cant.
He truly is a great comedian! I haven't laughed, like at him in this vid, in a long time. Where I lived we never saw the lighthouse far away but we clearly saw the beam through the sky.
Your last sentence is an excellent point. I have never heard the opposite of the P1000-from-the-beach point of view as an argument. I hope Dan reads your post! THAT'll cause some consternation in Flerferville.
Owen Benjamin Kares Troy-Smith has been spiraling down the ultra-conservative drain for years. He has been de-platformed from multiple companies for hate speech, racism, anti-semetism, and homophobia. Worryingly, he actually has children. His latest hullabaloo has been his "compound" being built in violation of local ordinances.
I bet he knows the different coils by heart and all the differences and what each one is used for. He spends his time explaining the difference between fiber optic and copper wiring to everyone that will listen. He enjoys telling his kids the evolution of fencing wire; from meager wire and post to fencing and barbed wire. He can't tell you enough about wires. He knows his wires.
Imagine, you're back in the 1960s in the prime of life, engaging in a massive undertaking as going to the Moon on behalf of humanity, and against all odds, you achieve it and return safely, and you're hailed as heroes. And then 40-odd years later, you're an old man who's accosted in the street by some arrogant youth who accuses you of FAKING the whole thing! I'd punch them in the face, too, like Buzz Aldrin did: ruclips.net/video/OROlF8zB9z0/видео.html
He called him a 'fraud', and that was enough for Buzz. Lights out!! (I just wrote a reply elsewhere that's almost exactly what you've written here - it' a nice story)
He claims that to broadcast about 50 miles the tv station needs a big transmitter, then claims the earth is flat. But the reason for the big tv tower on a high point is because the curve of the earth. But as the astronauts on the moon are sending the transmission up to earth with no big planet in the way, the radio antenna doesn't need to be big especially when the receiver is a huge dish.
Hey Dan, you forgot about the Parkes Radio Telescope, the one they made the movie "The Dish" about. It was as I understand it the one that sent back Neils first step onto the moon and was just up the road a bit from me for many years, I even know 2 people that worked there.
Goonhilly in Cornwall actually picked up the transmission signals before NASA, apparently the first shots used Fax machine encoding. The deniers always forget about the thousands of amateur radio stations that tracked the apollo missions.
Good point! The list of details concerning the Moon landings and the technology to make the events accessible to anyone is long and varied. Owen's claims of fakery are a short list, with every item debunked repeatedly.
@@dogwalker666 Yes, slow-scan imaging was used, and amateur radio operators used it on Earth as well. Newspapers used a similar process to send photos for news stories; I recall seeing a horse race image where a section in the middle was repeated due to an error and horse's and jockeys were stretched several times normal length.
@@dogwalker666 To say nothing of all the other nations' military and scientific bodies that followed ALL of the U.S. launches, orbits, and moon landings. Friends and enemies. Not just UK and Australia. Japan, India (they'd have jumped on it, there was enough pro-Soviet sentiment at the time), the Soviets (they'd have been on any questions of fact quicker than white gets on rice), East Germany, China (they had the technology then and a real antipathy toward any Western successes), France (allies, but they'd have enjoyed deflating Uncle Sam's balloon), Italy, Israel, Canada, South Africa, Brazil, Spain, Sweden, Norway....Probably many more. As well as amateurs all over the world. Funny, flerfers and moon-landing deniers all have no comprehension of triangulation--which any police department or HAM radio operator and all college/university physics and engineering departments in the world would have been able to do at the time.
@@dogwalker666 Shhhh, don't spoil it for me! I'm promoting the movie "The Dish", I was actually in it, sort of. I was in a hotel having a beer while they were filming one of the street scenes. You can't see me because I'm behind a tinted glass window but, they did show that window in the final movie and I was right behind it watching them filming it lol.
If you have a big enough receiver then a tiny 1/2watt transmitter running off a potato battery would be enough to transmit from the moon to earth and they had big fuck off receivers as we've seen :)
Yeah, the signal was pointed at the earth using a yagi I'd have thought. It's not really a tight beam over a quarter of a million miles but most of the radiation should be hitting earth and not vanishing into space but the bit hitting any receiving antenna will be tiny. Hence the big recovering stations. Earth bound radio comms is very different really and long paths are only available to certain bands in certain conditons bouncing signals off the atmosphere. Another reason the earth can't be flat and satellites are real. Flat earthers could test it if they wanted. I've got a LORA device talking to cube stats, a PI that does VHF comms with sats and a bunch of radios I use to talk to other popele via rapidly moving sats. Every thing you see doing those things is consistent with the globe. :)
5:30 Yes Owen, it has happened in exploration. The vikings went to America several hundred years prior to Columbus, and then no one went there until Columbus did. Just as an example. It is not an uncommon phenomenon.
i don't understand the repeated claims we dont have the technology anymore. We don't physically have it, but that doesnt mean we cant remake it if we wanted to. Its the same saying Japan does not have the technology to build a Yamato battleship today. They physically do not have the infrastructure to manufacture all the complex components, they do not have the skilled craftsmen trained over time needed to make custom parts, but that doesnt mean they can't remake it if they put enough money and effort and time into it.
The fact he is using the suffering of Ukraine in his excuse severely angers me.... You should never use the suffering of people in a dumb way like this, if it makes sense to yes but in this, no it does not make sense to use it at all.
I was once in an ad on TV. Does that also make ME an expert on transmitting signals between the Earth and the Moon, Owen? I've even visited the dish at Parkes so I must know all about it, right?!?
The expression is mostly used in British English in informal contexts to mean to successfully complete something. When a businessman says that a deal has been done and dusted, he means that he has been successful in clinching it; there is nothing left to be done. *I would like the project to be done and dusted by tomorrow. *The match had been done and dusted by the end of the third day. The expression comes from the world of writing. In the past, everyone made use of ink to write; people dipped their quill or pen into a bottle of ink before putting words on paper. Those of us who have used a fountain pen know that ink doesn’t dry very quickly. Sometimes, you had to wait for a long time before the paper absorbed the ink. To quicken the drying process, people used to sprinkle an absorbent dust or powder on the paper. Once the ink had dried, the powder was dusted off the paper.
Landing at dawn with the Sun behind them allowed them to see their own shadow giving them a quick visual reference to how close to the ground they were. NASA put a lot of thought into how to land on the Moon, unlike this so-called "commedian".
To add to what has been said already (lunar dawn) Lets not forget they are literally inside a dewar bottle. The only way to heat up is by incoming radiation and the only way to cool down is by raditing heat away, which is not very effective. In fact cooling down is a much bigger problem then staying warm, since machinery as well as humans generate heat by themselfs.
The fact that the Apollo lander looks like made of garbage parts is one of the best proof it was real and made to be send to the moon. If it was looking cool and just like something that someone who likes Star Wars movies wanted to see, then you should be concerned.
Oh boy! The video ended just as he was about to go on a flat Earth rant! Please, please bring him back for a flat Earth Friday! Thank you for another great video, catch you in the next one
He is sersiously comparing the work of the scientists and engineers that built the transmitters to something put together by a "meth head". "I've been on television and radio shows, therefore I know more about telecommunications than scientists and engineers at NASA." Dunning-Kruger for the win.
Ummm...didn't Albert Einstein famously NEVER tie his shoes?

"An explorer came home . . . and no one followed him"
There was a gap of 127 years between Abel Tasman, the first European explorer to visit New Zealand, and James Cook the second, so there's an example of exploration not progressing from the first step to the second. There would be numerous other examples.
And almost 500 years between the first European ship to reach the Americas and the second.

9:14 I love the fact that when he lists what he thinks are problems with transmitting radio from the Moon to the Earth is the vacuum of space! Yes, because nothing stops radio waves like nothing!
Made me laugh too.
"I know all about television broadcasting" says guys who has no idea that a signal pathway involves a transmitter AND A RECEIVER and both of these things matter.
Like, the most basic of basic things about broadcasting, and he doesn't know it. But brags that "he knows all about it". Uh-huh.
There's no luminiferous aether in the vacuum to carry the waves! Remember, the Michelson-Morley experiment proved that the earth is stationary in the luminiferous aether!
Also, remember that many flat earthers have proved that photons get pooped out and stop moving after traveling a finite distance.
(j/k)
@@brucetucker4847 Remenber that the M-M experiment is false, and has been debunked as not beeing able to prove any movement at all.
Also, remenber, that the "proves" for photons to move only finite distances has been debunked too many times, and proven to be completly false.
And how he says that "giant dishes" are needed to broadcast television 50 miles on earth but completely neglects to mention that those "giant dishes" are tiny compared to the 70-metre radio antennas of the deep-space network.
That "Did they forget about the cameraman recording their departure?" always amazed me. The Dunning Kruger to think that nobody at NASA for all those decades of preparation thought to bring up -
"Won't some genius skeptic notice we left someone behind on the moon to operate the camera"?
"Nah. There won't be anyone THAT smart for at least 60 years or so."
Actually there just happened to be a Martian visiting the moon so they said 'Hey can you get a picture of us leaving?' LOL!
That and "NASA couldn't get the stars right" people always get me.
Yeah sure bro, the organization that has access to ALL the astronomers couldn't "get the stars right", they were afraid that YOU would spot the fakery so they just removed them :P
If you want to go full dumb mode in engineering you can attach a wire to your ship that it's connected to a bag of sand that it's below a platform where the camera is. Once you take off, the wire will gonna pull out a patch from that bag of sand and make it reduce it's volume, tilting the camera on its back. Therefore you don't need a new system to send and receive info, but only one who send like the radio system which already existed way before NASA was a thing to the public.
@@MsArtemis64 It was actually a Russian who landed there before the Americans.

Funniest part for me was his idea that a camera MUST be only controlled by a person. Has he never heard of remote control? It's a miracle he can turn on his TV, let alone turn it off again.
He must think that using the TV remote sends a tiny man inside the TV a text, telling the tiny man he wants the TV turned on/off.

You missed the air-quotes. 'It doesn't make me an idiot, it makes me "smart." '
Right, it doesn't make him an idiot - he already was one from the get-go (obviously) … 😂
He’s so “smart” because he did the exact same “research” that all the other morons did and repeated the exact same arguments that are so easily explained.

My grandfather did too. If you ever read The Grumman Story you can read about Leroy Grumman working with him when Leroy decided to start his own business. If he didn't get an extra $5/week for the additional commute he would have passed on the job. Instead Charlie Solarski was the fifth person Grumman ever hired. He worked on the metal fabrication and Leroy described him as a genius.
The Lunar Excursion Module definitely landed on the moon.
That must have been amazing
Keeping relevant by talking about things that happened over 50 years ago. Can't wait for his next expose on the Spanish flu.
I'd guess based on the beginning he is also spreading Russian propaganda. That's a bit more modern. Doesn't make him look any better though.

Apollo telemetry data was never ever lost. All data was passed on to various departments within NASA as well as the various organisations and companies that played a part in building and developing the technology. The only telemetry tapes that were lost was the Original "BACKUP" Slow scan TV footage transmitted via Universal S-Band from the LEM to the various receivers on Earth Dan mentioned. But when Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walked on the moon the entire worlds TV channels had seen it and recorded. So there was nothing on those tapes that anyone had already seen by millions of people and recorded by hundreds of TV networks.
Exactly.
Exactly. This derpo can't even grasp copying of data from one storage device to another--like, the way he _uploaded_ his video to a server that _copied_ it to back-up servers and other people _downloaded_ his video. Derp derp derp derp derp. Whadda maroon.
I taped over all my VHS tapes after I had copied them over so I could reuse the tape a few times. I then dump[ed them onto DVD or hard drive when digital became available. Nothing was lost. It was standard practise.
But on the actual tapes, theres 5 seconds of NASA administrators high-fiving Neil Armstrong after the director yells cut.
Another project needed magnetic tape that was not manufactured anymore.

Yes indeed.

Ditto, here.
Yup me too.
I'm just the right age to remember Watergate, and the later moon landings, but even though I'm told I watched the Apollo 11 landing at age 3, I have no memory of it. That obviously means it didn't happen. Personal incredulity and ignorance are, after all, the ultimate arguments.
Add me to the list, I was 10 years old for Apollo 11.
To be honest, I didn't see the actual Moon landing on 11. But then no one besides Neil and Buzz did; no TV camera during the landing! The moonwalk? Definitely. And once they were back on Earth there was film from a camera mounted in the window to see how the landing happened. 🙂
Look at him thinking he is so smart repeating the exact same arguments that other conspiracy theorists have already had debunked. Bless him.
And he didn't even get the silly arguments right. That's "7 feet of lead is required to shield from the radiation", not "needed to keep out the vacuum".
I think you misspelled lame as same.. 😆
Indeed he is only a baby moon-tard.
That was the sum total of his "looking into this", looking at other idiot flerf Yt channels. He has zero interest in anything that might get him out of his 7ft of lead lined echo chamber.
@@PaulSchober Well, when it comes to the Van Allen Belt, it is mostly particle radiation - and this can be shielded with much less efforts. It is gamma radiation that would need lead shielding and is more of a problem *outside* the VAB. But even there it is low enough for a moon mission (not for a mars mission, though). The argument is ridiculous from the get-go, no matter if he gets it right in the first place or not.

DKU, where you learn nothing, but know everything.
"You will know nothing and you will be happy"
"I looked into it", which means he read what conspiracy theorists say about it. Funny how his "proof" consists entirely of questions and not understanding how things work. It's never "they say this is how they did it, this is why that cannot work". No, it's always "I don't understand how this could possibly work, therefore, it's fake".
he completely ignores that there have been a lot of things that were abandoned as not being profitable. Betamax, New Coke, Blockbuster Video, his comedy career...
Betamax lost to VHS because of porn industry.

The una-bomber was wicked smart, and lettered, but couldn't seem to get past the trauma of collegiate sociology experimentation and turned that gun of intellect to focus his crazy. Lunatics can be geniuses. Learned, lettered men/women can be fools. Just who parrots conventional wisdom and who challenges it, particularly in the academic paradigm? What if what we thought we knew about the world around us, was wrong? Predicated on faulty assumptions that are not to be questioned. Ever. Because all of human knowledge, understanding and wisdom stopped in the 1960's. I'd like to revisit the known phenomenon of spontaneous generation. Only the absolute loonies defied this belief; until a madman built the experiment that proved it. I can't get on board with everything Owen Benjamin says, but I'm not so arrogant as to tell the universe I already know how it works, there's math and formulas and stuff, and therefore my position doesn't need to incorporate any new data unless it supports my already held beliefs. I mean knowledge. All relevant data that supports my current position is accurate while anything I find challenging to that position has been designated un-serious tripe, or "fake news," to put a bow on it.
I'm sure you've heard this, or an approximation of this, "the science is settled."
What an absolutely asinine position. Totally indefensible. Believe me, medicine has it's sacred cows too, and it is absolutely TORTUROUS to get these hospitals to utilize decades of data (better collected, better collated, and, hopefully, better extrapolated)....but they don't. WE don't. Not easily, anyway, even though the supporting data is there. We, human beings, are forever abdicating our autonomy for a complete stranger provided that stranger has enough of the right credentials.
Fauci? That guy's a villain, through and through. He's gross, a dirty, corrupt liar. Simply being a doctor does not confer some over-arcing morality...ahem, Joseph Mengele, also a physician...What Fauci did to the early afflicted HIV/AIDS patients??????? Stop defending this guy. He's a villain. Always has been, even though he's an 'expert.'
I challenge everyone here, in life, to evaluate every narrative no matter the generating/shielding quarter or tribe...whatever it is that they're saying...does it make sense? I do not have to be a vet to know that an elephant and a mouse cannot breed. I likely won't be able to write a cogent article using field lingo to explain the reasons why from an academic perspective, but does that negate my position? It may render the position unpalatable, but...this is the fallacy of expertise and credentialing. Having advanced degrees does not make me better than anyone here but refusing to see past academic bias would make me a fool.
Man is not infallible and therefore anytime we interact with the natural order we have the opportunity to develop, impart and perpetuate our own flaws and bias.

"Famous comedian"? I had to Google him. Famous my posterior.
There’s lots of techniques and technologies we have lost. No one can replicate Stradivarius violins. I believe no one can mummify bodies like the ancient Egyptians can. We lose this sort of stuff all the time, often because the need for it has gone. Once the “space race” was over the political impetus had gone and so as Dan pointed did the funding
Also: there was no point in continuing to build Saturn Vs. This rocket was designed to go to the moon. If you just go to low earth orbit (LEO) you don't need a rocket as powerful as a Saturn V.
If you decide you move you will have to build (or rent) a powerful truck with lots of space. But once you have moved you don't use that truck any more to go to the grocery next corner.
NASA used the last Saturn Vs they had to launch Skylab and a prestige mission to meet up with the russians. Other then that there was no usage for such a powerful rocket. The unmanned missions coming up used much smaller rockets and of course there was the Space Shuttle in development which was believed to change the way to get into LEO and would be much cheaper then building a new rocket every single time (well, that didn't age well)
"When has it ever happened in exploration?" Well, it was 50 years between Amundsen and Scott reaching the pole and people returning to set up a permanent base. Pretty much the same time-scale we have now. And the "technology" to get to the pole wasn't lost or destroyed in those 50 years, it was just that there was no real reason to go back for most of that time.
Now we have multiple bases all over Antarctica, run by several different countries, and no doubt in 50 years there will be similar bases on the Moon. It just needs the political will to make it happen.
Well, Amundsen kind of ate the technology.
It's happened loads of times. Leif Erikson discovered the Americas 500 years before Columbus, but nobody followed him because they didn't have any reason to. Marco Polo traveled to China in the 1200s, but European powers didn't try to establish relations with China until the 1400s. The Ming Dynasty sent trade missions all the way to east Africa and the Arabian peninsula but didn't maintain trade routes because it wasn't profitable enough.
People don't go on dangerous journeys if they don't see a reason to!
Marco Polo wasn’t even believed to begin with.
Leif Eiríksson was a local event. Nobody knew about him for centuries.
Antartica is still a mystery.

Next thing you tell me we "destroyed the technology"???
Concorde was the first thing that came to mind when he was frothing at the mouth about "technology that we had once and don't have any more". Supersonic passenger flight is a difficult proposition. The Concorde project gave us some great advances like carbon fibre brakes used in many applications nowadays, however it also had vacuum tube technology that was impractical to replace with digital as it was so 'baked in' to the entire aircraft's flight and navigation systems. Boom Technology is working on a supersonic passenger plane now, but even with modern 3D printing technology and composite materials, they are finding it difficult to get make it economically viable. I wish people like Owen, that struggle to do basic algebra wouldn't offhand cancel the work of thousands of minds far more brilliant than theirs.
@@DevanSabaratnam Even older technology is not necessarily easy to recreate. For example, we probably could build a wooden sailing ship of the line if we wanted to, but preparing the wood and re-learning all the personal skills involved in putting one together would probably still take years.

"Michael Jackson should have done a concert on the moon." he says. I wonder who would have bought the tickets?
Michael Jackson is an alien. He lives on the moon. It must be true, it was in the first MiB movie.
He should look into why the sand falls without turbulence and why the sahdow is so sharp while the light is so bright.
On the Moon, large objects fall more slowly than on Earth due to the lower gravity BUT kicked-up dust falls back to the ground just as fast as a large object (so a lot faster than on Earth) due to the vacuum. You can simulate the low gravity in an Earth studio by filming a large falling object in slow-motion, but doing so using a film camera at the same time as simulating the fast-falling dust would be pretty impossible unless the whole set could be pumped down to a near vacuum.
@@davemould4638 Wrong. Objects fall the same speed no matter the size. Since there is no atmosphere on the moon nothing slows the fall. Also the falling is not important here but the missing turbulence. Puping out a room is not enough to get the shadows and light right either.
@@atdynax It is you who is wrong. Absent air resistance, objects fall at the same speed ONLY if they are subject to the same gravitational acceleration. The Moon has a much lower gravitational field than the Earth, and so objects fall much slower on the Moon than they do on the Earth (unless slowed considerably by air resistance). The point was that in an atmosphere, dust is slowed by the atmosphere and so falls very slowly, but on the Moon dust falls at the same speed as large objects - hence dust falls a lot faster on the Moon than it does on Earth, whilst large reasonably dense objects fall faster on the Earth than on the Moon. A footstep on the Moon will not kick up a dust cloud because the dust will settle as fast as it is disturbed (though dust clouds can occur due to electrostatic repulsion).
@@davemould4638 That's what i said.
Why send people when we can send rovers at a fraction of the cost to perform the same duties? It makes zero sense to send humans back to the moon at this point unless we plan on setting up a base.

This claim that we lost the technology to land on the Moon is so patently absurd it literally angers me when I hear it. How do they not understand that NASA obviously did not keep an entire manufacturing and supply chain active for the last 50 years just in case anybody ever decided they'd like another Saturn V. When you build rockets that big you build the equipment and buildings around the rocket so when it was time to switch to the shuttle program everything had to be gutted and overhauled to work with shuttle. And finally our technology has obviously improved since then so when we do go back to the Moon we're obviously not going to be doing it with a mechanical computer on board the effort it would take to recreate the Saturn 5 would be more than the work it would take to start from scratch using modern components.
I asked a moonfake nut this question once, and his reply was: If they went to the moon, the companies who build the parts would have kept the facilities to show them to tourists, and that masses of tourists would want to see those facilities.
Yeah, like millions of people would go to the US to walk through old production facilities and see old machines, just because with them the moon rockets were build.....
The Saturn Rockets were pretty much hand crafted and of course because of this expensive, viable if you only want a few. Musk has gone the opposite direction with his Space X -> Mass production. Expensive if you only want a few rockets but, if ,you know it will be used for a long time it´s cheaper.
It did not make any sense to keep the blueprints because pretty much every part of the Saturn was made exactly for this rocket and as soon as the program stopped all was worthless.
We did not simply loose the technology, we sacrificed it and even if we had not. Did anyone think that a rushed program like the apollo one would still pass the modern security requirements ? It is a miracle that no more Astronauts died in those flights but that does not make it untrue. They were lucky and the took the risk to beat russia but nowadays not many would take those risks again.
We lost the technology to launch a shuttle from the surface of the moon or a planet and bring people or samples back to Earth. The only time we had the technology to do that was in the 60 when they invented the touch tone telephone.

"Why did they tape over the telemetry data?"
How about, because when normal people do something they don't usually worry about having to correct looneys on the internet decades later?
Even if the tapes were still around, there are no tape readers available since a long time, which could read them.
mag tape of that era tended to deteriorate and so was copied onto something more durable. If they had kept it untouched it would be unreadable now even if you could find a working tape reader of the era - which you cant.

He claims that to broadcast about 50 miles the tv station needs a big transmitter, then claims the earth is flat. But the reason for the big tv tower on a high point is because the curve of the earth. But as the astronauts on the moon are sending the transmission up to earth with no big planet in the way, the radio antenna doesn't need to be big especially when the receiver is a huge dish.

Hey Dan, you forgot about the Parkes Radio Telescope, the one they made the movie "The Dish" about. It was as I understand it the one that sent back Neils first step onto the moon and was just up the road a bit from me for many years, I even know 2 people that worked there.
Goonhilly in Cornwall actually picked up the transmission signals before NASA, apparently the first shots used Fax machine encoding. The deniers always forget about the thousands of amateur radio stations that tracked the apollo missions.

If you have a big enough receiver then a tiny 1/2watt transmitter running off a potato battery would be enough to transmit from the moon to earth and they had big fuck off receivers as we've seen :)
He has zero understanding of technology but thinks he is smart, Bet he is anti- 5G too.
Also the transmission from the Moon was directional, a fairly tight beam, unlike a radio station which transmits in all directions.
Yeah, the signal was pointed at the earth using a yagi I'd have thought. It's not really a tight beam over a quarter of a million miles but most of the radiation should be hitting earth and not vanishing into space but the bit hitting any receiving antenna will be tiny. Hence the big recovering stations.
Earth bound radio comms is very different really and long paths are only available to certain bands in certain conditons bouncing signals off the atmosphere. Another reason the earth can't be flat and satellites are real.
Flat earthers could test it if they wanted. I've got a LORA device talking to cube stats, a PI that does VHF comms with sats and a bunch of radios I use to talk to other popele via rapidly moving sats. Every thing you see doing those things is consistent with the globe. :)

They physically do not have the infrastructure to manufacture all the complex components, they do not have the skilled craftsmen trained over time needed to make custom parts, but that doesnt mean they can't remake it if they put enough money and effort and time into it.
"Some More News" calls-out Frauds and Wankers, too
Exactly
The fact he is using the suffering of Ukraine in his excuse severely angers me....
You should never use the suffering of people in a dumb way like this, if it makes sense to yes but in this, no it does not make sense to use it at all.
At least he can still get people to laugh at him.
That’s the thing, we laugh at him, not with him
I was once in an ad on TV. Does that also make ME an expert on transmitting signals between the Earth and the Moon, Owen? I've even visited the dish at Parkes so I must know all about it, right?!?
He's right! "We" DIDN'T go! Armstrong and Aldrin did.
I’ve incorporated “done and dusted” into my lexicon. Thanks Sciman Dan!
The expression is mostly used in British English in informal contexts to mean to successfully complete something. When a businessman says that a deal has been done and dusted, he means that he has been successful in clinching it; there is nothing left to be done.
*I would like the project to be done and dusted by tomorrow. *The match had been done and dusted by the end of the third day. The expression comes from the world of writing. In the past, everyone made use of ink to write; people dipped their quill or pen into a bottle of ink before putting words on paper. Those of us who have used a fountain pen know that ink doesn’t dry very quickly. Sometimes, you had to wait for a long time before the paper absorbed the ink. To quicken the drying process, people used to sprinkle an absorbent dust or powder on the paper. Once the ink had dried, the powder was dusted off the paper.
Watching him seems eerily like watching a descent into madness like a video for a Hollywood autopsy.
10:35 "How did they keep it cool in the day and warm at night?" They didn't have to - all lunar missions occurred during the two week long lunar day.
Early morning, to be precise. Midday on the moon can be be a bit toasty but the mornings are just right for a quick stroll.
Yeah they deliberately landed at Lunar Dawn.
Landing at dawn with the Sun behind them allowed them to see their own shadow giving them a quick visual reference to how close to the ground they were. NASA put a lot of thought into how to land on the Moon, unlike this so-called "commedian".
To add to what has been said already (lunar dawn)
Lets not forget they are literally inside a dewar bottle. The only way to heat up is by incoming radiation and the only way to cool down is by raditing heat away, which is not very effective. In fact cooling down is a much bigger problem then staying warm, since machinery as well as humans generate heat by themselfs.
The fact that the Apollo lander looks like made of garbage parts is one of the best proof it was real and made to be send to the moon. If it was looking cool and just like something that someone who likes Star Wars movies wanted to see, then you should be concerned.
He could have asked the same silly question about why the deepest manned submarine dive has not been repeated over and over.
He does know comedians make jokes instead of BEING the joke right?
Oh boy! The video ended just as he was about to go on a flat Earth rant! Please, please bring him back for a flat Earth Friday!
Thank you for another great video, catch you in the next one
He is sersiously comparing the work of the scientists and engineers that built the transmitters to something put together by a "meth head". "I've been on television and radio shows, therefore I know more about telecommunications than scientists and engineers at NASA." Dunning-Kruger for the win.
It's a constant amazement to me that people like this manage to tie their shoes without causing serious injury.
I think they just use velcros tbh.
@@Jari_Kuusisto I dunno. They probably think Velcro is a NASA conspiracy.
It's the rush of blood to their head when bending down. Some people never recover from that sudden squeeze when straightening up.
Ummm...didn't Albert Einstein famously NEVER tie his shoes? And bang his cousin (on both sides)I before then banging that cousin's daughter and fathering a daughter with her, who was committed because of all the transcription errors in the genetic code? He did. Einstein dropped his incest baby at a facility and abandoned his incest wife. Looks like no one is perfect.
