As an Amateur Astronomer, I know all too much that a full moon in the sky ruins a good night of viewing.
@@AishaShaw-cl6wc Which moon? The white house spokesman just said the reason China found no trace of Apollo is because they landed on a different moon. Im serious, go check. So which moon?

Just because one can explain something doesn't mean it can be executed. Einstein himself was all theory and no show.

A corollary to the 'no stars visible' argument that I've found is popular sci-fi shows. Such as Star Trek TNG where they sit around the table in the briefing room, fully lit up in normal 'office light' levels. And sure enough, just outside the window we see all the stars perfectly visible. I would argue that if the light levels in the room are typical, then you wouldn't see those stars for the same reasons as them not being visible in Apollo pictures. Only in a darkened room would the stars show up like this.
Just another example where pop-culture and science collide. Many folks probably expect visible stars because of such pop-culture.
You hit it right on the head.
Same for the recent Artemis images - the live pictures from the real on-board cameras showed no stars due to the limited contrast, while the animated scenes, being unlimited be such constraints, showed stars in the background of moon, earth and the spacecraft, apparently to look more appealing to the public.
ruclips.net/video/IkqW5y4g4AU/видео.html why not the earth being pasted into this moon image from nasa?
You should be able to take a picture of stars out in a dark field at night.
You should also be able to park a white car lit up with bright spotlights about 20 feet in front of your camera and still be able to see stars around the side of the car, right?
Then if you can still make out any stars change the exposure and lens aperture to make the car focus in and not just be a big blob of light and tell me if you can still see any stars.
Very good point. I have always argued that pop culture has overtaken science.
Stanley Kubrick directed the moon landing. He was such a perfectionist that he insisted on doing it on location.
An oldie but a goodie.

@@jonsmith3945 I feel as though you are ironically playing the other side of the coin; the ubiquitous, overly-cynical response to flippant comments - there's nothing new in your response or theirs, just a pair of jesters lacking cleverness and signifying nothing except that they both take the value of comments too seriously for different reasons. Perhaps we should all remain silent and if we do comment, let it at least be positive since it's been consistently proven that negative/mocking comments don't actually change a person's mindset or habits - the joke of the cynic's response is they are creating more of what triggers them in the long run while expecting unrealistic results from such low forms of entertainment, which is admittedly funnier than the original joke here at least!
I had just turned eight. Watching the landing live with my seven siblings and parents is still the greatest birthday present I’ve received. Almost all of us sitting around our black and white console TV cried from happiness after seeing that human miracle. I later became a tech teacher because without (the proper) use of technology and highly educated and dedicated people the landing would not have happened.
I was born in 1972, but I knew about Astronomy from a young age and knew that the Moon landings happened because everyone else did, too. But decades later, to see a new generation of ignorant young people and older people deceived by the Internet defiantly state that the Moon landings were FAKE, all of a sudden, was extremely galling to me and most other people. No wonder Buzz Aldrin punched that young Moon landing denier in the face when accosted in the street, who claimed that his greatest achievement in life never actually happened DESPITE PHOTOGRAPHIC and FILM EVIDENCE to the CONTRARY!

It's light pollution basically, when you're In a city with a bunch lights, you can't see nearly as many stars as you can In the country, but on the moon during the moon's daytime, the surface is just too bright. Even on earth when the moon is full, it is bouncing so much light back to us, that its hard to see certain stars and planets and galaxys with a telescope.
Spot on. I lived in a small town and now in a big city, wandered through completely illuminated streets and pitch dark forests, and I have a telescope, too. Light pollution is a big hindrance for star gazing.
@nightmareTomek I live in a very small town and I still have problems with the 1 single light on the eclectic pole going to my house. It's so bright, I can't see anything in that direction!
@@ekojar3047 xD
Kick that thing!
I have that idea that cities should turn off all lights between 3 and 4am. So the nerds can see nice things. I guess that's not going to happen because everyone's too worried...
Exactly why people say if you wanna see milky way. Do it far away and at no moon. You can than see it with your own eyes. Cuz there is no light source that big.
Sorry the Moons sky has no atmosphere to light the sky or distort the darkness of space, stars would be visible on the Moon on many of the shots, City lights will light up the molecules in the atmosphere on Earth, hence no stars visible in Cities, all they would have to do for a clearer immage of the sky is point the camera to the stars a little more so as to not allow too much moonlight to interfere with the image exposure to moon surface light
On the moon shadows only work if a light source was let's say about 93 million miles away

@@5peciesunkn0wn Which of my claims is disproved ?
Another point about the "fill light" is that I suspect Armstrong is standing in full sunlight to take the picture and blasting Aldrin with reflected sunlight from his lily-white spacesuit. Armstrong constitutes a HUGE fill-light reflector.
Indeed he is. When NVidia tried to recreate the "Aldrin on the ladder" photo, they couldn't get it right _until_ they've realized that they haven't accounted for the light reflecting off the Armstrong.
In fact, if you look at the photo of Aldrin coming down the ladder of the LM, on his boot overshoes, you can actually see the reflection of Armstrong's white EVA suit. Look at the heels of Aldrin's boots and you will "see" Armstrong. The reflection is directed right at the position of the camera (Armstrong).
....suspecting he if facing the SUN to take a photograph? On MOON where she is very strong? Very strange behaviour with a LOW Sun.
@@narajuna Are you suggesting that Armstrong should have waited for better lighting to take this iconic photo? Or that Buzz should have waited inside the LM? Or that they should have moved the LM to face the Sun?
@@johnguilfoyle3073 That is thee Question! Am I or not.... far as I gather he is creating the Lighting ( standing in full sunlight to take the picture and blasting Aldrin with reflected sunlight), so if shaded would not be any "fill light" right?

ps: abnormal (or retarded?) to take a surface photo directly facing (low) SUN (no atmosphere= morning full blast SUNRAYS)
I love how they credit the Hollywood producers and directors with doing such an AMAZING job of faking the landings ... yet they somehow forgot to put in the stars!!! LMAO 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah the Kubrick claim kills me when you look at 2001 it's obvious he would have been outed as a fake in less than a year.
Any surface examination shows dozens of mistakes that would definitely have shown it was all wrong.
I'm really enjoying your videos. You directly address them and steelman their arguments, just to proceed to explain + show how it works in real life, with well crafted explanations and footage.
If I ever made a video on this topic, this is the kind of video I'd like to make. Thank you so much.
Imagine some Hollywood producers and editors seeing the released moon landing photos and being like "YO WE FORGOT THE STARS"
So you are attempting to use the same woeful logic used all through these comments... the fact it looks fake means it must be real. No, the fact it looks fake means it might be FAKE. The reason they did not add fake stars to the moon soundstage is because it would have been too difficult to reproduce accurately. It would have been possible for anyone on earth to do the calculations and check that the position of the stars in the pics. They would have had to project the whole sky and had it moving in synch with their claimed timings. It would have added a substantial layer of complexity with a chance of giving the game away
@@trueriverking1976It does look real though, you might just not have a good enough grasp of how reality works. But who knows, maybe one day you'll go up to the moon and confirm this for yourself
@@Antigen__ Wow, powerful stuff. You've really got me there. You fake moon landing shills don't have anything, do you? So how does reality work, then?
Oh dear
@@trueriverking1976 Interesting. So anyone on the Earth could do the calculations... except NASA. Hmmm
As I recall, the two places you showed with the mountains in the background are actually quite far apart. However, the moon has no atmosphere to speak of and there is no haze to indicate distance. The mountains are in reality quite some distance away, hence the great similarity in the silhouette as seen from those two sites. The other thing I would point out is that stars are actually visible in some of the photos, but it requires increasing the brightness of the shots to see them - they are very underexposed (as one would expect for shots exposed for the lunar surface).
"As I recall, the two places you showed with the mountains in the background are actually quite far apart."
About 1.5 Km
@@Jim_Jones_Guyana oh thank you, that's really interesting. I hadn't heard about that before!
the mountains would also look similar from different positions if they were a backdrop, which I believe is the case.
@@jonsmith3945 "the mountains would also look similar from different positions if they were a backdrop"
Well no, because they would be 2D if they were a backdrop and so there would be no parallax at all so there would be no difference. Unless you are going to suggest that they used a 3D background, though then you would need to also have a huge place to film it all because you also have the added complication that all of this was also shown on live TV footage.
@@kylie_h1978 By measuring the parallax of objects in the foreground, you can determine how far away are objects in the background. A Russian scientist did this and determined the backdrop was about 100 ft or so distant.
I believe the landings were faked and years of debating with landing believers has not uncovered any new evidence or made a new argument to change my mind. So, save your breath.
Mobile phones, that do incredibly difficult thinks using computational photography (HDR, luminosity masks, focus stacking, ...) have made a lot of people think that they're "experts" in photography.
Gave them and old medium format camera and some 120mm film and let's try what they can do with it. :)
lacking the basics. that applies to anything else in life ;)
That is precisely why I question the results. The photos are too perfect! The quality of the images in terms of focus, aperture, are just bang on. The amount of time, energy, and expertise required to accomplish the quality obtained is mind-boggling, which is not even factoring in the environment and astronaut gear! Not to mention, this was all done on film, and there was no ability for retakes
@@Sola_Scriptura_1.618No they are not perfect in any sense of the word (Let alone "too" perfect, whatver that means if it isnt a plain exaggeration for shock value). Literally in the first two photos where McKeegan disproves the idea that there was more than one light source, in one of them the suit is darker than the moon's surface which is being illuminated by the freaking sun. In the second photo it's the exact opposite. They are not perfect, let alone consistent.
Also what about the quality? What about the moon is supposed to make it such a hostile environment for cameras, that decent quality footage would be next to impossible? Wouldn't that be more suspicious if they brought back crappy photos where you can't make much of anything, or even none at all? Be specific.
"Time and expertise"? Learning how to change the settings of what you mentioned is not hard at all. That is precisely what the original comment was about, where just by doing this, you guys consider yourselves "experts".
Having said this, having it all done on film with no retakes does not make it as impressive as you think? Again, as opposed to what?
@yobro-eg3ic Really, the photos you just saw on this video aren't considered perfect? You have never used a film-based camera before. Have you ever made aperture and focus adjustments to a manual lens? Now, try doing that with oven mitts, and tell me how easy that is! We take photography for granted because of our cell phones. Try adjusting for focus, aperture, and scene without live feedback, and tell me how well that works out for you. I will send you my mailing address so you can send me a copy of the photos! I won't hold my breath. And when you take the photos, be sure to have a fishbowl over your head to simulate the astronaut's helmets. Everything is easy when you are not the one that needs to do it.
@Sola_Scriptura_1.618 Restating your claim as a question doesn't make it any more convincing. And yes, I have used a film-based camera and I can promise you, oven mitts or not, you adjust aperture and focus the same way. It works out for me quite well. I'm not in the business of professional photography so I couldn't send you the studio level photos if you wanted (I guess thank you for not holding your breath? lol). And no, it's not a fishbowl (Another word for shock value). It's just a helmet and I'm sure it was designed for them to see out of it just fine.
As someone with no interest in being a photographer at any level I am definitely hoping for more videos of a similar flavor I.e. Applying your expertise to topics that touch on broader social phenomena. I have rewatched all the moon/flat earth videos multiple times and will multiple times more. Love the channel’s style, solid epistemology & entertaining delivery..can’t ask for more.
Your comment could have come from the algorithm itself. Broader reach etc.
Dog: C’mon man, tell them the twuth….and give me a dog bone treat. 😂
Hahahahahahaha 😀
To put it into perspective.. Stars and galaxies put out around 25 lumens when viewed from Earth. In Space that number is around 40 lumens. The sun puts out 13 Quintillion lumens of light. When you think about your average street light being bright enough to wash out starlight, what do they expect when you've got brightest object in our solar system lighting things up.
Great comment although I don't think that deniers know what a lumen is or can comprehend quintillion .
@@peterharris38 good point, I probably should have included all the 0s. lol
Lighting things up? What do you mean? Like how, here on Earth, the Sun causes the atmosphere to glow blue, on a clear day?
Except there is no Earth-like atmosphere on the Moon. So, your comment about your average street light being bright enough to wash out starlight, does not apply, because that is also dependent on the presence of the Earth's atmosphere.
Nah, the argument is misrepresented and presented as a strawman argument here, yet again. It has nothing to do with photography. WE KNOW, using regular camera settings, stars won't appear on film. It's been established a long time ago. No need to keep recycling the same old, tired strawman argument.
The issue is SEEING stars from the surface of the Moon, by Apollo astronauts allegedly standing there. And not one of them mentioned seeing what would have been a lunar sky filled with the brightest, sharpest points of light. No atmosphere means no twinkling.
This guy, in this video, is conceding that the stars would have, should have, been there to see, but just wouldn't show up in the photographs. Fine. Except, as I said, no astronaut has mentioned ever seeing any.
After Neil Armstrong said stars could not be seen, at the Apollo 11 press conference, that had to become the official word on the matter and, ever since, the issue of seeing stars in outer space, not just on the Moon, became problematic for NASA.
Cue the excuses...
_The astronauts had tinted visors._
Tinted visors that could be retracted up into the helmet. We have photos and video of that.
_The Sun was blinding._
For every mission, the Sun was within a few degrees of 15 degrees above horizon. That is relatively low. Meaning, it would have been easy for an astronaut to turn their back to it.
_The reflection off the surface was too bright._
Nope. The Moon's surface has an albedo of about 15. Meaning, it's about as reflective as worn asphalt. Not white as snow, as some Apollo imagery depicts it as.
Go ahead and find the photo of Buzz Aldrin saluting the flag and try to tell me what is supposed to be the lunar surface, would be blindingly bright. Aldrin has his visor in the upright position, in that photo, by the way.
_The astronauts were too busy to notice._
Yeah, sure.
@FakeMoonRocks - I'm happy to address this as soon as I get in the door. It's a it too much to go through over mobile.
@@FakeMoonRocks
Even with the tint eliminated, They still had transparent solid glass or plastic over their faces, and sunlight lighting up the surface of the Moon. Turn the lights off in your house and try to look through a glass window and see stars in the sky. You might can see Jupiter or Venus (bright planets) but virtually no stars. Sirius might be bright enough to see.
Imagine believing we never landed on the moon when we can literally shoot a laser at it and it would reflect off of a mirror we put their...
Exactly non of the deniers can handle the retro-reflectors it always shuts them up.
@@dogwalker666 the funny thing is that it's an experiment they can do themselves another thing they can do is track the ISS the ISS even rotating around the earth proves the existence of globe and gravity... They claim gravity doesn't exist then how is the sun even in the sky how is it rotating none of them can give an equation or scientific theory to how this even happens and just say well "God" God is what they think is a scientific theory
@@dogwalker666 Nah. They usually claim that "we can bounce lasers off the bare surface of the Moon!", unfortunately.
@@Jan_Strzelecki they tried that however when I explain that "Retro" Reflectors rotate the polarised laser light 90 Degrees which is why they are used in Industrial sensors, They spit out their dummies and run away.
@@dogwalker666 Ah, okay. Fair enough. I'll need to remember that for the inevitable next time 🙂
For all those who think the photos are fake, recreate them with film today.
Even better, if they think the video was faked, they could try recreating *that*.
yeah like photographing stars during a full moon with the same exposure as daylight shots that the astronauts used! funny how conspiratards never mention trying that as a debunking proof!
We are not on the moon
@@gowdsake7103 That's true! We haven't been there since December 14, 1972.
@@gowdsake7103 any other bleeding obvious pearls of wisdom you would like to share ?
Ran into a guy that thinks that light needs a medium or an atmosphere for things to be seen.
Literally thinks that without an atmosphere there would be only darkness.
You didn't run into him hard enough.
The guy you ran into was wrong but actually the worlds best physicists were thinking along those lines in the 18-hundreds. Therefore they postulated the ether as a medium for light and radio waves to travel through. Einstein and many others resolved the matter in the early 19-hundreds and showed that light indeed can travel in a vacuum.
There is also the possibility that your friend is confusing light and sound ...
Landed on the moon and left the moon without any accidents with old technology yet space x is still working out its rockets flights and return landing with today’s tech?
The Apollo missions were not "without any accidents". Regardless, Apollo shows what you can achieve if you throw insane amounts of money at a project.
Lots of sleeping sheep in here. I saw a NASA documentary where some lady said THEY LOST THE DIRECTIONS to the moon. 😂 and these suckers believe it
there were many accidents.
1. apollo 1, a fire in the cockpit killed them.
2. apollo 11, error codes 1202 and 1201 almost made them abort.
3. apollo 12, 2 lighning bolts hit the saturn V as it was lifting off which caused some malfunctions, leading to the 3rd stage being sent into an orbit around the sun and coming back 30 years later.
4. apollo 13, a fuel tank exploded in the service module which caused them to abort the whole mission and they had to use the lunar module as a life boat to the way back until re-entry.
5. apollo 14, took them over 2 hours to dock with the lunar module because the spacecraft couldnt latch on and they almost aborted the mission.
6. apollo 16, astronaut john tripped while on the moon almost cracking his helmet which could've killed him.
To take the pictures, they would have to use the most insane flood light ever created. Baseball stadiums use dozens of lights to make it like daytime for the players to see. They also have 4 or more shadows following them on the field.
Bodvarson They were there at Lunar morning. The sun is shinning. No need for secondary lighting.
@@williammann9176 I meant if it was faked on a studio
@@bodvarson1933 Baseball stadiums don't aim for making it look like it's the sun shining.
@@bodvarson1933 The fact that there are no stars in the Apollo photographs simply shows that NASA knew how to work a camera, because of the short exposure times required to take pictures, given the brightness of the Moon's surface in daylight.
Photographic techniques of the type required to hoax a moon landing did not exist then.
It's a shame that no matter how you explain the facts, there will be those who refuse to be swayed. I find the deniers usually have a political agenda or personal objection/dislike of the entity who accomplished the task. I like your approach to this topic. Just the facts.
Stars in a daylight photo on the moon would actually prove the photo to be fake. But it would actually fly in a dumbed down universe.
Yup. But even funnier is the fact that these denier blockheads 'think' (loose term) that white dots on a black background are impossible to fake for some reason.
@Andre Doesn't surprise me. YT algo's are extremely snowflakey these days.
Another reason for the direction of shadows not appearing parallel is the topography of the moon. Mythbusters did a good recreation of it using a model so good that it made yours look like a Lego figure stood net to a ball of tin foil!
Reality is hard, and when reality is hard, it must be fake. Because that's an easier explanation to deal with.

Hey guys. I am 74 years old .
I was a professional photographer at the very time that the moon missions happened. I used the same Hasselblad camera they used. As per Nasa. Nasa has admitted that the camera was not modified in any way. They could not have taken a tenth of those photos without adjusting the time or apertures. The guys not only could not adjust the settings because of their gloves. They also had the camera strapped to their chest. Not to mention that temperatures were incredibly high and somehow the camera and the film was made to work in incredibly bad conditions. I could go on and on about how much they faked. Those photos were taken by professionals in studio conditions.
Use your discernment.

You're dense af
@@Iserate truth hurts
Heat and temperature are two different things. And the camera was modified enough in order to work with the gloves, the guy in this video. As for having it on your chest, they would have trained for that. Try duct taping yer cellphone to yer chest and go around taking pics without glancing down at the phone, after 5 mins you’ll find it ain’t hard.

@@critthought2866 "they were not of terrestrial origin." Yes, but that doesn't prove they came from the Moon.
@@jonsmith3945 That's true. But it does show that, unlike the initial claim, they were not "regular rocks," nor were they somehow found as pieces of meteorites that fell to Earth, another claim made by landing deniers. Their structure is consistent with having formed in a near-vacuum under low gravity conditions, and having been bombarded with micro-meteorites and radiation as is found in the solar system.
@@critthought2866 The point is that all those attributes you list could be true of rocks formed elsewhere in space. There is nothing in there identifying the rock as specifically lunar.
Furthermore, the rocks could have come from meteorites. Remove the crust and voila! NASA had a device to simulate micrometeor strikes.
It wasn't until after Apollo that Scientists could identify lunar meteorites. Because they had the same attributes as the samples they were previously given by NASA.
Then again, the Moon rocks are said to be remarkably similar in composition to Earth Rocks.
Love your analysis!
This nice guy is petting a dog and he sounds really smart. You can trust him completely, even if red hot chili peppers tells you space is made in a Hollywood basement. 😂😂😂
Thanks for the video explanation. Can you also explain how the camera film was protected from X-rays, Gamma Rays and Ultraviolet radiation?
The camera bodies and the magazines protected the film against most of the radiation, but they weren't able to fully protect them and so some of the film does show some damage from radiation. People have this idea that all radiation requires lead shielding - indeed someone the other day tried to tell me he'd been taught in the armed forces that four feet of lead was needed to shield from the Van Allen belts - but that is not the case. The shielding provided by the craft and the spacesuits was enough to protect the astronauts (and the film) from most of the radiation.
I've did a follow up video which addresses many aspects of the film & cameras including radiation:
ruclips.net/video/hLXHrQ1Keac/видео.html
or from the vacuum, a fact about the Hexagon Spy Satellite: "The whole camera system operated in a vacuum, except for the film which was in a pressurized container," explained Pressel.
Another factor in play with the images of Buzz Aldrin exiting the LM and descending the ladder: Neil Armstrong's suit. It acts as a reflector, backfilling the shot.
Nvidia simulated the graphics of the shot and couldn't match it up until they realized the direction the extra illumination was coming from. There's a RUclips video covering their efforts.
Thanks for the extra details Bob, much appreciated :)

@@williammcconnell2576 yup
A lot of the supposed discrepancies in the astronauts answers about seeing stars or not comes down to the basketball passing effect. There's a famous video that asks you to count the number of times a basketball is passed by one team in a basketball game- then asks a question about the game that catches people completely off guard. This is a demonstration of the effect of ignoring seemingly obvious distractions when focused on doing a job. Keep in mind that at this point there had several disasters or near disasters in the Apollo program. The Three astronauts on the moon landing missions had to be incredibly focused on what they were doing- they had a near 0 margin of error with regard to everything they did. Simply stepping into a small crater or missing the ring of the ladder as they were climbing in and out of the lander could have resulted in a fall and a damaged suit that could have killed them almost instantly. To say that YOU know you would have acted in that situation is ludicrous. There's a reason there were so few early astronauts. Those men had intense training, specialized skills, and a focus on the job at hand that bordered on superhuman. Any mistake made by them could be their last, including the men left behind on the orbiter as he was the ride home for the guys on the ground. One mistake in attitude control and the orbiter would out of position to dock with return module. If you think they had time for stargazing or playing tourist in space you are a moron. I'll listen to any of your dumb theories when YOU qualify to be a NASA astronaut. Until then you are not worth my or anyone else's time.
One of the missions had their on-board computer fail. Requiring the crew to land the mooner lander by hand.
The irony was that in the panic of having to deal with their on-board computer failing, they completely overlooked the fact that they apparently had a backup computer they could have used...
@@hanro50 Because the computer was ‘blind’ and couldn’t compensate for sudden increases in gravity fields, it could put the lunar module down in a crater or on a steep slope, so the commander always took manual control in the last minute or so to ensure a safe landing area. Also, no self-respecting test pilot would let a computer do his job.
It has been pointed out that while walking on the Moon in direct sunlight, astronauts could not make out even the brightest stars, because their pupils were constricted in reaction to the bright sun, and this is partially true. The Sun’s radiation is very harmful to eyesight outside of our protective atmosphere and the astronaut’s EVA helmet that was worn over the ‘bubble’ helmet of the pressure suit had two moveable visors. The outer visor was gold coated to protect them from this radiation and also filtered out relatively dim light sources such as stars. Several Apollo astronauts reported that when they stood in the shadow of the lunar module and lifted their visors, they could easily see stars. But with the combination of both bright sunlight and the visors, it was impossible.
@@Ruda-n4h good point. It's like driving at night. Oncoming headlights- especially driver who drive with their brights on (a-holes!) make it hard to see anything due to glare and pupil contraction.
@@Ruda-n4h the astronauts had to be looking through the equivalent of arc welding shields in the harsh light of the sun which was like a bright carbon arc light.
Try looking through a welding shield at the night sky and let me know how many stars you see.
Are the photos of the lunar rover with no wheel tracks around it fake as well? (lol)

When they didn't get to the moon they had all this failed rocket science to dispose of so they invented leaf blowers. --Thor
11:43 There is no atmosphere and large mountains can appear close by, because there is no natural haze that we get on earth that helps us gauge the distance. Hence the photos can be taken at different places but the mountains looks the same because they are actually further back and bigger.
There's an interesting video from one of the landings where the two astronauts see what they think is a small hill nearby and decide to go check it out. They are hopping over there for a minute or two while chatting before realizing they aren't getting any closer. It was at that point that they realized the small hill nearby was actually a large mountain far in the distance. We are adapted to using atmospheric haze when gauging distance, and the lack of atmosphere really messes with that ability.
How come there are no Foot prints around the flag from the image at 1:33sec? thats odd...
The dust isn't deep. Moon rock has little impact craters, that make it look like a dusty surface even when seeing the rock. Around the little ridge with the flags there is disturbed ground. Behind the flag there are prints, but as the ground slopes, they are not recognizable at this resolution. They are better visible on other pictures though. So nothing surprising is to be found there.
People don't realize that the video of Armstrong giving his famous speech, being recorded from a camera on the LEM is the first footage of someone setting foot on the moon. They always seem to think that photo is.. Same as they don't understand that the video of the LEM taking off was done by remote control by a camera left on the surface, which is why the pan doesn't follow the LEM very well, someone on Earth had to time it right.
Indeed the camera was mounted on the rover. And it was only luck they got it right on the second attempt.
The remote control on the rover camera was operated by a guy in mission control named Ed Fendell. Due to the approximately 2 second delay, Fendell didn't get the first two launches very well (Apollo 15 and 16). He practiced a lot for the final Apollo mission and when it came time for the launch, he got it. Third time's a charm.

And there is a photograph of the most radioactive object on earth, the ‘elephants foot’ the man who took the first photograph died but the picture survived
And.. you know the photo is not a fake because....?
@@jonsmith3945 Because there's no evidence that the picture is a fake.
@@jonsmith3945 it’s like what Jong said. But there is further evidence, the fact that radioactive fallout from the explosion at Chernobyl was found on the hills of northern England, which led to a three month ban on eating beef, lamb and dairy from local farms in the area. With this in mind it wouldn’t be a stretch to imagine that such photographs exist.
And furthermore, why would you fake pictures of men on a roof of whom thousands died? The Russians tried to cover up as much of the effects of the Chernobyl accident as possible, which could explain why the Russian soldiers who took over the Chernobyl power plant during the early days of the invasion of Ukraine possessed maps that predated the explosion. They dug trenches in the Red forest, the most contaminated area in the exclusion zone. So again why the photographs?

It still remains odd to me that USA didn't go back after 1975, no-one else went there after, and non of us can as yet go there now (give me a long range space drone (/^v^)/...) and as such both sides are conjecture, but why has no-one visited there since? :-Y ...
Space drones - a.k.a probes, have been back
China, Japan & India each set their own probes that examined the landing sites, all 3 acknowledged that there is hardware left on the moon by Apollo and that the landings happened
@@DaveMcKeegan no I really meant a drone like ordinary ppl have, but could go where ordinary ppl can't, to investigate these flag and footprint sites non of us can investigate, because we don't have space equipment. It's alright for ppl to say THEY'VE seen these sites, but we cannot, is my point. China would never confirm USA landings, as they threatened to land there just before lockdown, and NASA panicked :-y
@@finjay21fj So you're completely ignoring what Dave said, as well as the fact that 3 different countries have all photographed the sites and confirmed what's there. Why?
@@critthought2866 maybe I'm wrong, but you asked why. I keep saying that non of us have anything to go on but what we're told, I can't blame anyone for assuming what hey are told is correct as they see it.

Religious believe "this meat is unclean" all the way to accepting their righteous leaders can freely burn so-called "witches" at the stakes. We were happy to let them do that as we believed the propaganda they told us, we had nothing to go on, we believed what they said, innocent ppl burned. Today we still believe whatever they tell us - from lockdown to "dangerous ecigarettes" to things we can't confirm, like lunar landings. We simply believe what we are told, unquestioning, like willing lambs to the slaughter. Foolish tho it was, we went into not one but TWO world wars, willingly, like lambs to the slaughter. We simply believe what they tell us so willingly - now believe what you want, you'll believe exactly and fully what they tell you, as is their want.
@@finjay21fj Solipsism may be interesting in philosophy, but it's a terrible way to live life.
The biggest problem I have with the lunar landings is the land scape. It always abruptly ends. It should go on as far as the eye can see as with the Mars rover images. But they don't they end abruptly. No mountains far off in the distance, no long expanses of rising ground. Nothing it seems to end a short distance away.
Biggest problem I have is we don't have the tech today to land there. We were more advanced in the past than the present. Seems odd just saying..
That quote is always taken out of context
The technology from the 60's is gone because it's been completely superseded by new tech
The companies that built the components don't currently have the manufacturing systems needed to build those components because they've moved onto far newer components
Look into the navigation computer for Apollo - it's not a silicone chip like all current computers, it was a hand built computer with each memory module individually placed by hand
They picked the landing site for Apollo 11 so that it would be flat and relatively boulder-free. Therefore you're not going to see much in terms of mountains and the like. Later missions did land closer to mountains/hills, albeit not large ones. The video shows an example of this from Apollo 15. Mars is twice as large as the Moon, so its horizon is farther away than the Moon's. Mars has an atmosphere (albeit thin compared to Earth's) while the Moon does not. Atmosphere affects distance judgement. We use its effects as an aid to determining distance.
The fact is, other than the 12 men who walked on the moon, not one of us has ever seen anything with our own eyes that isn't in air. (if we're not under water, obviously) Our brains are used to evaluating things that way. We look at the photos and film from the moon and try to interpret them based on our experiences. Unless someone has either an expert eye, or takes time to break the images down as Dave did in the video, they're just not going to easily be able to make good judgements of distance.
The biggest problem you have is in not understanding that because the moon is half the diameter of Mars, the landscape might NOT go on "as far as the eye can see". The moon is 1/4th the size of Earth, and half the size of Mars which means the horizon is much closer than on either. Also, Earth and Mars have an atmosphere, which causes a haze, making things look farther away than they do in a vacuum, such as on the Moon, which has no atmosphere.
Another problem you have is that you are not realising that if you noticed a "problem", that NASA would have as well.
@@critthought2866 the whole, none of the rest of us have been there, is an argument I have used. People want to declare how things would behave on the moon as a counter-argument, when the reality is they wouldn't know how it would behave. The thing about the flag and the footprints are the most common. "They wouldn't be like that!" Well, you don't know that, and I would say that since that is what happened then yes it would be like that. More of your typical "this hurts my argument so I want to ignore or discredit it" type BS.
I am amazed ghat these videos are coming out. 4 years ago they were all over. Then they disappeared. Now they are back. I love it.
Your videos are phenomenal man. Great work.
What’s really impressive is how well the pictures are framed, taking into account that the cameras were strapped to their chest and they didn’t have a viewfinder.
Sinclair J Lots of photos were not perfectly framed. In fact one of the most iconic photos from Apollo 11 of Alden has the top of the PLSS cut off. Also they practiced with the cameras during all Lunar EVA training. They got pretty good at aiming for the most part. They also used a 60mm lends which on a Hasselblad is a bit of a wide angle lens so that helped in framing the photos as well.
The fun thing about conspiracists is that they think NASA couldnt even set up a camera trick if they wanted to
They are good at CGI , ruclips.net/video/T_Xbpg14mcQ/видео.html
@@jmatasomo2660 that video is so bad it hurts, literally every point he said is wrong
Have they assembled the Land Rover while & when they landed on the surface of the moon, or previously attached underneath moon lander?
The Lunar Roving Vehicle - LRV was attached to the right side of the LM looking at it face on. On Apollo 15 you can watch the video of them deploying and setting up the LRV.
What was the one about the missing black cross?
There were claims that parts of the crosses disappeared behind objects which would point to the crosses being drawn on after the photo was taken
Except this is only ever seen on low resolution versions of the images due to compression, the crosses are all visible in the high resolution scans of the film
They jumped to the future and edited the photos with AI program.
Haha, I think just going to the moon would be easier ;-)
no they don't have to jump anywhere.. they just edit it today.. and say it's an original when it's clearly not. and no one can prove or deny.. same thing with watching a nasa live feed. it's all bullshit cgi animation

@@jonsmith3945 Experts spanning the fields of astronomy, astrophysics, and photography all say we’ve been to the Moon, and it’s usually a good idea to defer to experts on matters in which you are, in fact, not one.
It was one of the most public events of the 20th century viewed around the world and would have to have been a conspiracy involving hundreds of different people from many different countries over decades, including Great Britain, the former Soviet Union, France, Australia, Italy, Germany, China, Japan and India, from which not one credible witness has ever emerged. It would also have been impossible to cover up for such a length of time; the Watergate conspirators couldn’t keep their escapade silent for more than a few months.
Photographic techniques of the type required to hoax a moon landing did not exist then.
The dust thrown up by the rover lands in a way impossible in an atmosphere as on earth and there is so much third-party corroboration; for example, the spacecraft were tracked to the moon, the rock and soil samples have been authenticated by many different scientists around the world for decades. Chinese, Japanese and Indian probes have also photographed and or observed the equipment left behind at various Apollo landing sites.

2) It would follow a ballistic trajectory and fall at the proper rate for 1/6 gravity.
Come straight back down
If you look around on you tube you can actually see it happen.
Truly fascinating that you need to explain how shadows work to adults.
Corridor digital and Nvidia did a video on this showing that with their latest ray tracing the pictures are accurate. They built a complete 3D copy of the lunar surface, lander and astronaut then lit it with a single light source and got identical pictures.
Yeah, with technology from 2023, not from 1960s technology. Also I'm still sure that their are differences in it, even if they are very small.
I'm not arguing either way since I am not a professional photographer but I do have a few questions if anyone knows the answers. It was said that they took hundreds of photos and many did not come out well. How many cameras did they have and how many rolls of film and how many pics could each roll take? Also were the cameras shielded in any way to protect against dust? The depth of field of the photos were amazing. What size aperture was used and did they adjust the shutter speed and was any adjustments made to compensate for the lower gravity. Sorry for all the questions but the photos always intrigued me.
Apollo 11 took 1409 photos over the course of the entire mission
They had 3 cameras & either 8 or 9 film rolls (1 camera with 3 rolls stayed in the CM, 1 with 3 rolls stayed onboard the LM and the rest were the ones to go out on the surface)
Each roll was either 160 shots (colour) or 200 shots (if it was a B+W roll)
No the cameras were not sealed against dust, only 1 was going outside, for 2 hours, and stayed attached to their chests, and all outside cameras were left on the surface of every mission rather than carry the extra weight home
Camera were shot generally at F11 on a 60mm lens, although they would drop to F5.6 when shooting in shadows
Shutter was kept at 1/250th (they were told in extreme situations they could go to 1/125th if necessary)
Gravity didn't affect the operation, however the lack of atmosphere would normally impact the focus, however the lens used was produced by Zeiss, specifically designed for use on the moon so they accounted for the vacuum problem
Hope that helps
@@DaveMcKeegan Thanks for replying!! Did they weigh that much that they needed to leave them? You would think something as valuable as this not meaning the cost but in terms of what they accomplished they would have brought at least the first one home.
@@tsmith3286 In the grand scheme of the Apollo program, the surface cameras were relatively inexpensive and they were never being used again.
They had loaded up with over 20kg of moon rock samples, the weight of which had to offset, especially given that the ascent engine wasn't as powerful as the decent stage and if they didn't make orbit then it was game over
@@tsmith3286 "You would think something as valuable as this not meaning the cost but in terms of what they accomplished they would have brought at least the first one home."
The rocks collected by the astronauts were many times more valuable than the camera.
A lot of detail on the Apollo photos can be found in the Apollo Lunar Surface Journal.
It seems many don't understand that these pics are taken in "daylight". The moon is bright. It can light up the Earth so it has no problem lighting up the shadow side of the module.
Technically it was early morning not a day. :P
What is really sad is that the Mythbusters had an entire episode in 2008 covering the "fake photos" and they proved, with scientific testing, that the photos were not faked. It is hard to believe that there are still people out there claiming that the photos are fake!
The man is literally see-through just look at the moon all day long. You can see the blue sky right behind it it’s not dark, gray rock dust.
All the naysayers are free to think what they want to think. I, on the other hand, DO believe we landed on the moon. Our astronauts are HEROES....AND ALWAYS WILL BE, FOR WHAT THEY ACCOMPLISHED.
The ladder photo does kinda have a second light source. A BRIGHT WHITE ASTRONAUT SUIT standing in the sun with a camera attached to it. Relatively small amount of light, but another bright white spacesuit does a good job with minimal light. Basically does the same job as the big reflector panels photographers use on earth.
It also has a much bigger fill light, consisting of _the rest of the lunar surface_ to the left of the image. The Moon's reflectivity is not especially high, around 6% in the mare where Apollo 11 landed, but the area makes up for that.
True but you have to consider how dark those shadows are and the shadow is just a slightly darker ghost of a shadow. This would not happen on Earth in a desert because the atmosphere scatters some light before it bounces off the ground. Another thing that surprised me is the fact that there was so little shadows in the details of the space suit. I would think the light bounced off the surface would create more distinct directional lighting shining up. The fact that it's not there means that the fill light came from light being bounced farther away because of space being open all the way towards the moon's horizon. Also it's possible that there was a slight hill there bouncing the light. Trying to recreate those little details would be very difficult in the studio as the clip from the movie shows. It was so obviously light that was close to the subject. They spent tens of thousands of dollars on the light source but still could not recreate the real thing.
@@fotticelli Tens of thousands of dollars, even in the 1960s is not a lot of money for a project like this. If they were going to try to do what you are claiming they did, they would have spent orders of magnitude more. Even now the technology to do what you are saying they did all but doesn't exist. At that time it straight up simply doesn't exist. So they could only have gotten these shots the simple way. They went to the actual moon.
@@fotticelli What point are you trying to make, exactly? Are you saying you think the landing and the photos were all faked in a studio, because the details in the image don't match _your_ ideas of how the lighting ought to look in a very different environment? Have you considered the possibilty that your ideas about that could be wrong, and that what is in the photo exactly matches what would be seen on the lunar surface because _that is where it was taken?_
@@grantharriman284 They didn't change the emulsion of the materials, they are listing film types that were commercially available at the time. There would be no point, there was no alternative to pig gelatin and three layers of silver halide. Apparently Hasselblad made a film back for them that used 80 mm IMAX type film. Not sure why, probably to have the sprockets. The width of the film that is useable to expose is only 65 mm, not much different from the standard medium format (60 mm). I don't buy the 200 shots on a roll, don't care how thin the substrate was. The standard sizes were 120 (12 pictures with paper backing) and 220 (24 pictures, no paper and thinner plastic substrate). They could do it if they made a bigger back but all the pictures I've seen show the standard sized Hasselblad back. I don't know. I have to read up on it. I used all the types of films mentioned and a similar Hasselblad camera. The one they used Hasselblad EL had electric film advance which was draining the battery like crazy and was not popular. So I'm pretty sure about the film emulsion was the commercially used stuff that Kodak put on different substrate, the film type meaning the IMAX size. Not sure about how thin the substrate was or what frame format they used.

@@DaveMcKeegan Who says they had to gain anything? All the space agencies are members of the same exclusive club, so they'll support each other's fakery and lies.
What would the Russians, Chinese, Indians, etc. gain from exposing the fakery, and what could they offer as proof?
If they were able to expose the fakery, it would seriously undermine public trust in authority, so it's in the ruler's advantage to support the myth.

The dog appears to be intelligent .
Once again, your videos are concise and well-explained, and they contain practical examples that clarify the points you make.
I wish everybody who debunks junk like fake moon landing or flat earth nonsense could be so illuminating.
Yeah, I said illuminating in the comments of this video.
Love the videos (and the maths behind them) but I really struggle getting through them without having to rewind multiple times. Rusty is such (an adorably cute) distraction that I realize I've missed 20s or so of content and must wind back and try again. ❤🐶
An alternative to a light source being ridiculously far away is being ridiculously small. Then you can parallelize the rays placing a huge lens exactly at the focal distance. Still not technically possible.
Nice video.
The problem with that is that parallel rays from a tiny light source would only fall on a tiny spot.
The middle section of this is how it was done for "From the Earth to the Moon". ruclips.net/video/M2cGwUnOL7E/видео.html Not sure how you lite this "set". upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0d/AS17-140-21493%2BAS17-140-21497.jpg
You can just use the actual sun on a sunny day in a roof-less studio that has open walls behind the camera (as to let all the light in)
@@bobsmithinson2050 the “sky” is completely black. That wouldn’t be possible back then and likely not possible today.
The railtrack lines are 100% parallel, you can choose any distance for your light source it does not change the fact when you tilt the plane of the sensor in relation to the plane of the shadows, they will never ever look parallel, no matter how far the Sun is

Very nice photography explanation thanks. I hope you and your dog are well.
Yes, in terms of temperature and radiation, does apperture still able to withstand the light source comfortably..thats one of the reason.
Wow, I guess I’m weird. I see stars sometimes even in the morning time when the sun is coming up.
You'll see some of the very bright stars occasionally but not lots
If you look at the high resolution copies of the moon photos there are occasional stars which appear
@@DaveMcKeegan I don't think so, Venus does just about manage to appear in some photos. What some think are stars are merely defects in the emulsion appearing as bright specks. I was told that somebody had identified some real stars in photos taken on the surface but I remain doubtful. If you have information confirming real stars (in photos taken from the surface and not from the Apollo 16 UV camera) then I would be very interested.
Have you ever tried to photograph stars? try it. and in space, with sun thats always there? you can only see stars in the morning before sunrise, never afterwards. But like i said, try photgraphing stars when another light source is present. You wont be able to
That’s fine but you know much about night photography with a film camera.

10,000 pound thrust rocket on bottom of this tin can craft and no blast crater under it???? No blast dust on legs or feet of craft??? Where on this craft is enough space for that 150 million dollar land rover??? I'm not buying any of it......
10,000lb engine which by landing time was idling at 10% throttle - so only 1,000lb thrust
Then the contact lights came on when the LEM was 5ft above the surface, at that point the engine was shut off ...
They intentionally didn't want dust kicking up because that would also mean exhaust gases from the engine would be kicking up as well and risked damaging the LEM
@@DaveMcKeegan Actually it was closer to about 2650 lbs, but either way it's nowhere near the full rating of the engine.
Adding to that, given the size of the engine bell, the pressure at its end was about 1.5 psi, which is less than an adult man's footprint pressure. Even if it had been a full 10,000 lbs, that's only about 1/3 of the thrust of a Harrier jump jet, and they have no problem landing on the ground, and that's even with the atmosphere keeping the exhaust in a column, rather than spreading out as it does in a vacuum.
@truthjester: The rovers were only in the later missions (15, 16, and 17), folded up in an external equipment bay. You can find video of them unfolding it here on YT - ruclips.net/video/VpqhVKwByZY/видео.html
Because for you it a matter of belief not science or technology - I don't why that is, perhaps because of the collapse of organised religion in the post war period. Back in the real world the lunar surface is hard rock beneath dust; the LEM used a low pressure (for reliability) rocket engine that was firing at only 3,000 pounds thrust before landing so along with the very thin atmosphere and low gravity there was not enough pressure to produce a crater; if you look closely at some pictures of landing sites e.g. Apollo 11 you can see some disturbance under the engine.
Because there is no air resistance on the moon, the blast deflected the dust sideways in a straight line at high speed - far too fast to settle on the LEM’S feet.
The rover was held in the empty quadrant 1 bay in the lunar module descent stage. It was deployed by a system of pulleys and braked reels using ropes and cloth tapes. The rover was folded and stored in the bay with the underside of the chassis facing out. One astronaut would climb the egress ladder on the LM and release the rover, which would then be slowly tilted out by the second astronaut on the ground through the use of reels and tapes. As the rover was let down from the bay, most of the deployment was automatic. The rear wheels folded out and locked in place. When they touched the ground, the front of the rover could be unfolded, the wheels deployed, and the entire frame let down to the surface by pulleys.
No aperture control, no focus, no shutter speed, no viewfinder, no bad shots.
They had aperture and focus control on the lens - it also had shutter speed control on the camera
There wasn't a viewfinder but it was fixed on a holder on the front of their suit, which means the camera always looked where ever their chest was pointing - and look through the full archive and you'll find plenty of bad shots, they just don't get shared much for obvious reasons
@@DaveMcKeegan
That’s no control. Dials without feedback offer zero control. Not one bad shot was taken. All are masterpieces. Complete sham.
@@FFE-js2zp You don't need feedback when there are markers written clearly to see - There are lenses still sold today with aperture & focus control without feedback, they still work ... All cine lenses work like this
And I'll repeat my previous suggestion, go and look at the Apollo Lunar Surface achieves, most shots are boring, mundane things and many with mistakes - Buzz had 4 attempts trying to photograph the plaque that they left behind to try and make sure there was a good one
@@DaveMcKeegan
No cine lenses work without viewfinders. That’s absurd.
But the lack of viewfinders and no control over composition or exposure isn’t the big problem. The big problem is a half dozen photos with occluded registration marks. Plus 250F film that melts at 150F, dropping to -250F that cracks in shade, also exposed to the raw solar wind of radiation so intense it disintegrated NASA’s metal probes into dust. That’s a little more than an airport X-ray, which erases film.
Regarding shooting images on the Moon with the sun behind the subject, yet still being able to see the subject illuminated:
Go outdoors on Earth and photograph something or someone with the Sun partially behind them {but not looking DIRECTLY into the Sun}.
The subject is still visible, and NOT completely engulfed by shadow.
Funny how that works, ain't it.
*EDIT→* RIGHT AFTER I posted this comment, Dave said the same thing in the video.
GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE.
At least that explains DAVE...😉
Excellent, as ever. Sensible arguments rarely convince those determined to see conspiracy everywhere, but it’s a novel way to draw attention to the science of lighting, and all the more welcome for that
A diffuse 2nd light source would not create a distinct shadow. These debunkers always assume a 2nd source would be direct light. Debunking the lack of stars is the lowest hanging fruit there is. There is much that has not been debunked - Offering possible alternate explanations does not debunk a point, it merely casts doubt.
@@jonsmith3945 Most of the shit that these morons think need to be debunked is so asinine that it doesn't even deserve the time.
That is the main issue with these people, they THINK they know how something should or shouldn't happen, but they don't. When it doesn't happen in a way that makes immediate sense to them they cry "FAKE". Instead of taking the time to actually learn whats real, they come up with some completely moronic assumptions and spew it as if its fact. They think they're special because "they arent fooled like everyone else is", giving therm a false sense of superior intelligence. While in reality, they're BELOW average in intelligence.
Watched a video the other day where flat earthers and some people proving earths curvature all got together to do a couple experiments over a sea that was about 10 miles wide. Even when presented with the evidence, the flat earthers still made excuses. One part of the video that just made me laugh my ass off though was when a one guy asked a flat earther why the stars rotate one way in the northern hemisphere and the other way in the southern hemisphere. This dumbass says "if you have to look up to explain whats under you, you've already lost the argument": Then proceeds to jump up and down saying "look, this is flat". I mean its just mind boggling that people can be THAT dumb. It literally goes to show that these people don't have the brain power to think beyond whats right in front of them. "Well, the earth looks flat right here in front of me so the earth HAS to be flat". You just cant fix that level of stupid.
@@undeadarmy19 How very astute of you to lump all those people together.
For the record, I believe Earth is a globe, rockets work in space just fine, and the Apollo lanings were faked.
Now, you can continue feeling superior just because you hold the majority view.
You know fuck all about so-called 'conspiracy theorists.
Looks like South Park.
I paused the video after the first example of why they couldn’t see stars on on the moon. One question I have is based on his explanation, since there is no atmosphere for the suns light to reflect off then if they were to walk around in the lunar landers shadow away from any light source in their eyes, the stars would appear?
I’ll finish the video and report if I have more questions.
No. Standing in a shadow would not stop light from the sunlit surface of the Moon all around them from coming into their eyes (or cameras).
Who filmed the craft when it took off did someone stay behind
Camera on the lunar rover, remotely triggered from NASA Houston.
I can hear them now they are saying NASA shill 😂
Makes a change from being called a bot :D
Dave did a great job but the NVDIA video put it to rest once and for all. Search for it and watch it. They are the experts. End of discussion.
Yeah, I like watching that video and listen for the faint whistling as its point goes over hoax believer's heads.
Im not discounting anything but i did notice something interesting in the photo at 1:33sec (astro jump) there doesn't seem to be any footprints from the Astronaut and there doesn't seem to be any moon dust getting kicked up from the jump and floating around in 0 gravity. Can you explain? Dig your videos by the way..
The dust was kicked up but it settled down whilst Young was still floating
ruclips.net/video/Jb_vsyeL-HM/видео.html
There is gravity on the moon, it's just significantly weaker than in Earth so the drop time is less, and there is also no air on the moon to create any resistance for dust falling back down
@@DaveMcKeegan cheers, had a watch Theres some pretty odd stuff in that doco. How did they have Instant Comms and visual with Earth? for them to ask the Astronaut to pick up a certain rock? can we even do that now? I found it odd that they didnt seem "puffed" at all when they were bounding around to the big rocks. No heavy breathing whilst talking to each other. There was also some footage of the lunar module taking off from the moon and the camera panned up with the Module..? How? Did they leave someone behind?
On a re-watch of this video, theres a bit of footage at 0:07sec that really looks like a Scene from "Thunderbirds" . It looks like a miniature model ...
Im still wondering why there isnt a single footprint around the flag in the a fore mention photo. one would imagine there would footprints all around it. thats odd too..Any thoughts on that?
Are there any photos of the epic craters on the moon? That would seem like a good research thing to do..I havent seen any..Have you? they would look amazing in such High-definition. Any samples from the massive craters to determine their age etc? Couldn't all of this be answered with one of the super high powered telescopes that we have now? wouldnt we be able to see the land site and the piece they left behind, the flag and all that? probably that Dune buggy too...I assume they left that behind, I mean where did they store that Buggy? its as big as the module...
@@haydenhack There wasn't really instant Comms, there was around a 2-3 second delay, however for the sake of the documentary they'll have edited the audio to fit better with the video
If you look at the original transmissions such as Nixons phone call to Apollo 11, there are noticeable delays
Regarding the footprints, there are prints there but they are at very shallow angle to the camera which makes them harder to see, if you look at AS16-113-18343 which is a few photos later on the film, the prints are much clearer
And the craft in orbit does look like Thunderbirds, but that's how craft in space look due them both travelling at completely constant speeds - no variations in engine power or air resistance, they just stay fixed to each other - you can see it in every video of spacecraft approaching the ISS
@@haydenhack "How did they have Instant Comms and visual with Earth?"
It wasn't instant. Watch the original video and you'll hear the delay. Sometimes you'll even hear the voice of Mission Control re-broadcast back to Earth, with a delay appropriate for a two-way transmission. Finally, listen enough and you'll often hear cases where the astronauts and Mission Control get out of sync and talk over each other, forgetting to wait for the other party to reply before starting to talk again.
In edited video the delays are often edited out for speed and clarity.
"for them to ask the Astronaut to pick up a certain rock? can we even do that now?"
Yes, Mission Control would ask the astronauts to pick up a particular rock that was visible to them on the TV coverage. What's the problem?
"I found it odd that they didnt seem "puffed" at all when they were bounding around to the big rocks. No heavy breathing whilst talking to each other."
Yes, because their suits were carefully designed to not exhaust them. First, remember, they were operating in 1/6th gravity, so even with their suits and backpacks they weighed only about 25 kilograms (60 pounds). You don't need to use a lot of energy to move that weight. Second, next to their skin they wore a body suit which was laced with small tubes pumping water as a cooling device. They could control the flow rate of the water to ensure they never overheated. But, having said that, there *are* times when the astronauts got tired. You just need to find the right parts of the video record; remember, there were 14 moonwalks over the six landings, with the moonwalks ranging from 2 to 8 hours. That's a lot of moonwalks to search through.
"There was also some footage of the lunar module taking off from the moon and the camera panned up with the Module..? How? Did they leave someone behind?"
Remotely controlled from Mission Control. Seriously, did you not think to do even ten seconds of research? The rover's TV camera was remotely controlled throughout all three missions featuring a rover. Each time the astronauts stopped to collect rocks the TV camera was switched on and controlled by Mission Control.
"On a re-watch of this video, theres a bit of footage at 0:07sec that really looks like a Scene from "Thunderbirds" . It looks like a miniature model ..."
It's a snippet from a longer video. There's plenty of video showing one spacecraft from the other. Just make sure you're watching it at proper speed, because the video is often sped up. But that's how spacecraft maneuver in space. They're not like planes, they're not like Star Wars and they're not like most video games.
"Im still wondering why there isnt a single footprint around the flag in the a fore mention photo. one would imagine there would footprints all around it. thats odd too..Any thoughts on that?"
Already answered: Duke probably kicked dirt over his own footprints. Watch the feet of astronauts as they walk and you'll see how much dirt they kick.
Ok The photos aren't fake but were they taken on the moon or earth dose film survive radiation and heat on the moon surface
The flag waving at speed of earth gravity is dead giveaway
Except it doesn't wave - it bounces around from the shakes of them putting it in the ground
@@DaveMcKeegan shakes or not requires gravity though
Why does it require gravity?
Flags on Earth don't move because of gravity, they move because of wind
There is no wind on the moon which is why it's on a spring loaded arm along the top that holds it outwards
@@DaveMcKeegan gravity is force. The only reason anything moves. Force=g m1m2/d2. The moon is in earths orbit due to the fact it weighs less than the earth and its pull of earth keeps it in orbit. With out the pull of the earth gravity objects do not move at all.
@@DaveMcKeegan no they move do due the pull of earths gravity.
I have a question for you Brit lefty...Why does the Artemis 1 rocket have male and female dummies to check radiation and atmospheric conditions in order to determine if it's safe for human beings? Don't we "already" send about a dozen men to the Lunar orbit and surface for over 3 days in one instant?
Why do new cars go through crash tests with dummies when we've had safe cars for years? 🤦🏻♂️
That's before you even get into the fact that Apollo missions were less than 2 weeks long, where as Orion is slated to be carrying humans much further into space (i.e. Mars) so they need to make sure the crew will be safe given they'll be in space for much longer time periods
@@DaveMcKeegan crash test dummies aren’t done over and over test the effects of hitting a brick wall… they test the cars durability. They used the space dummies to test the amount of radiation and it’s effects. Newsflash we have actual humans that “did it already”.
@@DaveMcKeegan Spoken like a true liberal. There's absolutely no comparison between those two. One is impact testing and the other is radiation and atmospheric conditions. If we had sent people to the moon for only one hour, we would have enough data to make calculations for months or even years of how to human body world react or be affected by these conditions. According to the Apollo missions, human beings landed for and spent time on the lunar surface for over 3 days in one mission.

Why is he a lefty?
