Any idiot with a $100 Tasco telescope can prove we've been to the moon.
I've never witnessed in person a nuclear explosion. I bet we've never split the atom! |

Not even the most powerful telescopes on earth can see enough detail of the moon landing sights to prove anything. I believe we were there and it happenned, but stating anyone can just get a crappy telescope and see it is about as retarded as saying it never happenned. |

I was a video shooter/editor/producer back from 1981-1986 and I had $400,000 worth of equipment under my hands ... I have some of those projects which were transferred from 3/4" U-matic to Super Beta and finally to digital video now. Looking at them I know that with a $400 GoPro Black and $99 Sony Vegas Movie running on $2000 worth of PC I could do what took hours and days in minutes. The abilities today were pure majik back then. Just doing post-production fades was like conducting a band starting two play back machines, the audio source and wiping the fader bad back-n-forth with the script.

I think that they faked the moon landings, but the clever bit is that they used a set built on the moon; that way they could convincingly fake the effects of lower gravity and also leave fake evidence on the surface to fool people with telescopes.

No, RAID was not around in those days, not even remotely. Whomever told you that is so full of shit that their eyes are brown. |

The guy ignores the real way NASA faked the moon landing. He is right that the technology did not exist to fake the moon landings in 1969. I doubt that it even exists today. NASA scientists realized this and arranged to fake the moon landings by shooting the film on location.

My FIL wrote software for the LEM and even his own parents didn't think we went to the moon. One of the first times I was at his house, I was reading letters on the way...one from Colt for a first gen SAA he has, one from Winchester for some rifles he has, and one from Neil Armstrong. Holy cow!
We went to the moon with me and equipment, no doubt. Brad |

Raid was around and used on mainframes back in those days. Getting them all sync'ed up and managing the switchover from machine to machine without showing visual artifacts would have been challenging. Wouldn't go so far as to say it couldn't have been done, but given the state of the art in electronics at the time it wouldn't have been easy. BTW, those slow-mo machines weren't solid state drives, they were rotating magnetic disks recording analog signals. Think of a regular hard drive of very limited capacity recording analog rather than digital. The fact that these machines recorded analog would have made it particularly cumbersome to manage the sequential switchover of 94 machines. Also, in 1969 I don't believe Raid drives existed (the first Raid patent was awarded in 1978). A 10MB (that's MB as in megabyte) drive would have been pretty large. Most storage was on magnetic tape. Keep in mind, that computers were still using core memory at the time (look up core memory if you aren't familiar with the term). Younger people have a tendency to assume a level of computer technology that simply was not available in the late 1960s. Even the best computers were extremely primitive by today's standards. The memory and computing power of a modern smartphone would have dwarfed the computer in the Lunar Module that landed on the moon (probably would even dwarf the combined computing power available to NASA at that time as well). |

And you know, with zero doubt, that the Soviets tracked every foot of accent into space and intercepted every communication from the moon. They would have had NASA by the balls if they could prove with the actual data that the ship didn't land on the moon and return.
The guy is right, people have a bias as to what could and could not have been achieved with the technology of 1969. |

The best bet would be as the guy said to shoot on film and then splice the reels together. The hard part about that is the dust and scratches ... it could have been done with custom specialized equipment. Telecine equipment at the time could do fades and desolves using strips of conductive tape and mirror assemblies. The electronics would fade one lamp and raise the other lamp at the same time. Adjusted correctly the transitions are seamless. It wasn't faked. |

2. During the cold war the Soviets would have blown the whistle on us. They could track our rockets going there and back. 3. http://www.csmonitor.com/Science/2012/0730/Flags-from-Apollo-moon-landings-still-standing-new-photos-reveal-video
