Why has there been such an overabundance of mostly ridiculous "hoax" conspiracy theories about the 1969 Moon Landing and other Apollo missions over the decades?

It seems a sticking point for some reason.

For some, it's all about getting attention by being a contrarian, trolling dipshit.

For others, it's about fundamentalists being terrified of science because "muh holy book."

And lastly, there's the jealous assholes who just can't abide the fact that Americans have done some pretty awesome things.

Inevitably, Apollo hoax "theories" get tied together with other conspiracy theories, because none of them are sufficiently sturdy to support the weight of their ever-increasing bullshit. Also:

While I agree with your idea that it often comes from a mindset that develops to downplay one's own inadequacy (by pretending that there are nefarious forces keeping down the common person) and play into feelings of being one of the few smart/aware/"enlightened" enough to unravel a deception by the government, I take issue with your ridiculous attempt to link it to "lazy millenials."

>The first book about the subject, We Never Went to the Moon: America's Thirty Billion Dollar Swindle, was written in 1974, two years after the Apollo Moon flights had ended, and self-published in 1976, by Bill Kaysing (1922–2005)

So with a three and a half second google search, you can see that it's a mindset that existed LONG before "lazy millenials" were even a concept.

Now, I would say that the more recent popularity of conspiracies and the part that millenials are actually responsible for is their total lack of critical thought and skepticism when it comes to sharing shit on social media/internet. They see something cool and convincing (at first glance) and they say, hey guys, gotta look at this. And the idea spreads to 50 new people without a single person questioning whether it's true or totally made up. It's not exactly about being lazy. I'd say it's about being complacent and wanting to be star of the show.

Also, millenials and many younger Americans (older, too, but to a lesser degree) have less trust in the government than ever before. So the idea that this was a hoax (or any of the other current conspiracy favorites) fits in with their anti-government beliefs, confirms that they are one of the "chosen few" who understand the truth and helps create a continuity for the US government's ongoing process of lying, deceiving and manipulating it's citizens and the rest of the world.

Guys, they didn't fake the moon landing. They faked the moon. As we all know, the original moon burned down in 1949 when President Truman left the oven on over night. If you've noticed we only see one side of the moon as it rotates at a speed equal to its orbit around Earth. The "face" of the moon we see is all that's left of the original, on the other side is a joint military city-base that makes up the other 3/4th of the moon's original mass. It's pretty damn impressive. The only reason they even shot the moon landing was to justify the amount of rockets they were shooting into space to populate the moon base. Though once they were able to get a stable population of people up there to successfully colonize and make sure the moon wouldn't "accidentally" (silly Truman) burn down again they have not needed to use as many rockets. I think we're at around 3rd gen of moon citizens now.

I hope that answered all your questions

Can you ever truly "know" something is real? No. You analyze the information you're presented and do your best to determine if it's real, which I believe it is. But my belief that it's true doesn't prove 100 percent that it's true, this is very simple stuff. I'm pretty sure you know what I'm saying, you're just being silly

Getting to the moon and back to earth in one shot involves extremely precise orbital calculations. The possibility of missing the moon and earth is a matter of a tiny fraction of a degree in the trajectory as well as the ability to adjust those calculations in real time.

"For most practical purposes, theMoonis considered to be surrounded byvacuum. The elevated presence of atomic and molecular particles in its vicinity (compared tointerplanetary medium), referred to as 'lunaratmosphere' for scientific objectives, is negligible in comparison with the gaseous envelopes surroundingEarthand mostplanetsof theSolar system—less than one hundred trillionth (10−14) ofEarth's atmospheric densityat sea level. Otherwise, the Moon is considered not to have an atmosphere because it cannot absorb measurable quantities of radiation, does not appear layered or self-circulating, and requires constant replenishment due to the high rate at which its atmosphere is lost to space."

It's not like we've suddenly changed how math works in the recent years. Doing math has just gotten easier.

This is the kind of shit you resort to when the truth isn't on your side. If Russia had proof the Apollo missions were being faked, they would have been blowing them out of thwater in 1969. Instead, they resorted to a disinformation campaign. One of their go-to strategies was infiltrating churches.

Facts:
1) the amount of protection from the radiation was to limited to protect them in space that would be concentrated by the earths magnetic field
2)in some Official pics put forward by nasa little + signs show up partially behind things. those existed on the lenses themselves to help the people taking studying the photos understand what was in frame better. like approximated distance
3)multiple sources of light are seen in some pics and they didnt have flash lights with them

A guy did a video about how getting to the moon in the 60s would have actually been easier than faking it. Especially since long range rockets that could get to space already existed.

A big reason is that literally nobody else was around. If you say 9/11 was bombs inside the WTC and no planes were involved, you can ask New Yorkers.There are literally tens of thousands of eyewitnesses and if you want, you could walk up to any person and say "how long have you lived here, did you see any planes, etc." Not many people saw the first one, but a lot saw the second. Similarly, with something like Sandy Hook, if you adopt the idea that the entire event was staged and that the children and families were all actors, you can drive to the community in Newtown and literally ask anyone yourself if they knew any of the people, and it won't be hard to disprove. This threshold works for most people, but it doesn't work on all conspiracy theories (like this one) because of a sort of intrinsic lack of public witnesses. This obviously includes covert government (or any organization really, but usually specifically government, since they have the greatest ability to suppress information) actions, which would not be directly tied to the government, either acting via proxy to execute a change or secretly forcing a small group to do their bidding in order to manipulate people. In either case, the lack of information that could form a paper trail(at least for decades usually) isn't accessible to the public. So, to use the example of Sandy Hook again, this time from a different conspiratorial angle: some propose that the shooter involved was coerced, manipulated, or trained by government agents to carry out the attack. In this case, there are no available witnesses who can dispute this, since nobody involved in the coercion would be able (or willing) to testify or come out publicly if it WERE true, and none of the current witnesses could know that. With the moon landing, everyone could see the rocket launch or the landing, but ultimately nobody else was on the moon with them. It's easier for a theory to catch on when millions didn't see the thing happen.

Umm, sorta, but mostly No. Common mistake

The reason you don't see the stars in the pictures on the moon is because it is the equivalent of -daytime-. Where the lunar explorers are the sun is shining, it's as bright or brighter than noon back on Earth . Yes, the sky is black but that's a lack of appreciable atmosphere problem.

Because we went to the moon with technology further ahead of what the general public knew about at the time. People believe it was faked because they had no idea we a camera that could take a photo in that atmosphere and various other similar situations. It's understandable why people would come to that conclusion it's faked especially with the practice landings on a moon set. Unfortunately the whole thing took on a life of it's own and people never self corrected.
I am sure there is technology being used that is sigificantly ahead of what we are publically aware of now. The Nighthawk was being tested in 1981 and it's existence wasn't well known till the first Iraq War. Before that it was some weird ufo the skywatchers out west were reporting. I some remember people at the time saying that it wasnt even real, that it was fancy cover they put over a space shuttle to make us feel like badasses.

That IMDB link is to a lengthy forum discussion on the (absolute lack) of merits for that documentary sourced for your clip.

Short answer: there was color film of the landing, just no live TV color video because the TV cameras were too bulky. That video makes the(well, I'll be kind and not call it misrepresentation) "mistake" of confusing video and film. The 16mm Hasselblahd unedited footage can be found here at

And this forum here will calmly and rationally dismantle any and all moon hoax "evidence," but be forewarned - if you go in snarky, half-cocked, and abusive, they will tear you a plethora of shiny new assholes.

The most fundamental issue with all Apollo hoax allegations which they seem to silently ignore are the Saturn Vs. Of course if you are flatearther jumbo for whom everything is a conspiracy you can't be helped, but for those who think we did go to space just not to the moon, the rockets themselves pose a very basic problem.

Because the launches undeniably happened, and they had the capacity to lift such masses, just look up Skylab or the earlier Earth orbit Apollo test mission.
And since tracking objects in Earth orbit isn't hard NASA couldnt have just let them stay here, they had to go somewhere.
Now basic stuff like radio triangulation alone will tell you they did indeed go to the Moons vicinity.

There are more problems. The famous lunar ranging experiment needed precise setup or else we couldn't use it, which needs either manual placement or robot technology. Now the Soviet Lunokhods did just this so technically the manned part could be omitted.

Then theres the issue of samples. They were checked with lunar meteorites and Soviet samples gathered by unmanned missions, so either lot more people were in the play or NASA too used unmanned sample retrieving tech, then hide to hide the details of this tech.

And you can go on.You could finetune an unmanned Apollo theory to produce the same results, but in the end you are replicating Apollos efforts with similar same financial, management and engineering requirements except you make it lot more convoluted and bumping it up with a hugeneed for perfect, everlasting secrecy. At this point its just easier to do the actual manned Apollo.

Some argue that Lincoln was the start of the US government attempting to get a tyrannical grasp over the population. I don't know about that, but you never see it starting to happen during the Cold War. Prohibition doesn't come close to this period in which the Communist threat was used as an excuse for the undermining of civil liberty. America has not been the same since.

The moon landing is a major symbol of their capacity for deception in this period. Perhaps THE major symbol. The moon landing left an impression on the international consciousness, while McCarthy was simply domestic.

That picture was taken after the astronaut had been moving around prepping what was essentially a display for some items brought along for what they called a "VIP site." Here's a link to the official journal detailing the events.

https://www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/a15/images15.html

And here's an assembled panorama of images that shows the tracks free of an area where an astronaut was kicking up dust and obscuring tracks with his own footprints.

http://www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/a15/a15pan1674859.jpg

Bear in mind, a rover carrying its maximum payload would only weigh somewhere in the neighborhood of 256 lb(116 kg) on the moon, riding on wire mesh tires, so the tracks wouldn't be all that dramatic to begin with.

I predict this will be responded to with another picture taken out of context with bright red circles and arrows, because it's a lot easier to draw than it is to research. Hoaxers have to stay in the shallow end so their lack of actual knowledge doesn't show up so glaringly.

Not to mention that NASA's "robotech" would have had to have been vastly superior to such a greater abundance of samples than the Soviets were capable of procuring. The Apollo missions managed to bring back just shy of 400 kg of rock while the Soviets only managed 130 grams, or .13 kg.

The idea that this is fake is laughable.

Look at the ground in the two images. Notice the tracks, prints, and rocks are all different.
So am I to believe they spent time rearranging a few small rocks and covering up tracks, but failed to change the background?

For such a large operation they would not move the lander around. They would build the set with a fixed location for the lander in mind.

This is just stupid people not understanding photography, field of view, compression, and a myriad of other factors that play into photographs.

That's fine. I rather suspected there would be no further information forthcoming from you, so I took it upon myself to look into it further. I started from pic related.

It occurs during the Apollo 17 mission at 120:59:36 GEP(that's elapsed time since blastoff). You can find a rip of the original film here:

https://archive.org/details/Jsc-603Apollo17-OnTheShouldersOfGiants.wmv#

It's a rip from the original film that was released back in 1973(and you can download it for free). You'll find the footage with your "proof" in it at the 11 minute mark. Notice the two light patches on the hillside in the background that line up perfectly with your "wires;" furthermore, notice that one of the "wires" seems to continue on in front of the astronaut to the left.

In short, your "proof" is an artifact introduced by digital compression. There's an excellent analysis of it here:

http://youtu.be/domtyECeabA

At some point, you should probably devote some of your valuable time to pondering the implications of why other people are more interested in validating your proof than you are and what that means about you.

I should also add that you should please feel free to advance that video I linked frame by frame like the jackass had to do to find your "proof" in the first place. It's impressive, really, the amount of laziness and haphazard fact-checking these people do who so earnestly seek "the truth."

moon truthers never have anything other than 'muh optics' that only other morons can confirm. I mean just look who's on both sides of the debate: scientists worldwide vs .gif examiners/walmart security guards. not every conspiracy is aligned this way, there are plenty of respectable people on the Kennedy assassination or 9/11 WTC7 etc.

Kubrick was free and had worked with NASA on 2001. He was also literally the only person on earth who couldve pulled it off. Just the fact that he was let into NASA during Cold War secretive times should raise buttloads of alarms. Personally I believe he was tapped to fake some footage in case anything was discovered.

the fact is that Americans did land on the moon though, there's a mountain of scientic evidence. if you're trying to discredit this fact you'll always be made to look as stupid as you look. Even the Societs got living beings past the van Allen belts. Any issue of radiation can be solved by thinking minds. this had been proven a thousand times over (I know, by shills).

unless someone talks we'll never know what they might have hid or what type of plan they had to hide anything. Kubrick is dead. The Apollo 11 astronauts don't seem to want to talk.

Well the Russians actually had a program for this specific subject. Someone earlier linked it. They had agents in the US starting conspiracy theories that sounded plausible but that they knew not to be true. One such theory was that the US never went to the moon. The US did the same thing both at home and abroad to Russia.

First off, there's pretty apparent curvature in your picture, secondly, dogcams suffer from some pretty pronounced fisheye, so without knowing its exact altitude, it's impossible to tell how much of that is due to curvature and how much from fisheye. Lastly, obligatory:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQw_C5KLhFM

This guy used a Fliphd camera, specifically to avoid the extreme fisheye effect that comes from GoPro cameras. Be aware that the curvature it shows is much more in line with what one could expect to observe with the naked eye, and at a height of 121,000 ft., it had achieved a vantage point roughly analogous to what an ant would observe while perched atop a twelve-gauge wire wrapped around a bowling ball.

Pic related is a still from the video that absolutely, unquestionably shows curvature.
>>
>>17406838
>>17406838
Also, take note of the fact that I intentionally chose a shot with the horizon at a slant, because it helps illustrate the absence of fisheye.

Also, I've been curious. Why do all the flathead's "proof" shots from balloons always have something in the foreground. Makes you wonder if perhaps they are, intentionally or not, using a close object like that to narrow the camera's field of view. Surely you guys woudn't try to mislead anyone, I mean great seekers of truth that you are.

It would have been front page news all over the world since there would have been corroboration from the Soviet Union.
These were the sixties not the McCarthy era, people were already in the streets protesting the Vietnam War and history was marching towards Watergate and Daniel Ellsberg where whistleblowing and government distrust began to rise.
The US isn't the only news venue on the globe. If this was verifiably true, every news organization on the planet would have covered it, including the NY Times and Washington Post. It would have been the news story of the decade, at least.

There many be a huge list of moon landing hoax theories, and most of them may be ridiculous, but most of them are not popular. The popular theories that actually get talked about over and over again are what's important and are mostly not ridiculous. The us was in a space race with the Soviets. The us was losing so it was extremely beneficial to make it appear as if they had landing a human on the moon. It is what led the Soviet union to spend way too much money to fail at something. That's not to say that the us never landed on the moon. Just that the moon landing footage was faked, and that the first moon landing probably wasn't the first moon landing. Stanley Kubrick even admitted to filming the hoax.

You mean that they hacked an iPhone to plant evidence, then said the iPhone belonged to the shooter and that they couldn't hack it then tried to force Apple to do what they already did in secret to give credence to the planted evidence on the phone.

The flat earth is easy to disprove, because we are on the earth and it is about the present. The moon landing conspiracies involve a celestial object and the past before everyone had cameras and the internet when you last your livelihood and sometimes went to jail as a communist for questioning the government. Also, convincing everyone that the earth is round when it's flat doesn't really serve a purpose. Convincing everyone the us went to the moon before the Soviets during the cold war had an extremely relevant purpose. The us moon landing is the main reason the Soviet union failed, because they spent so much money trying to do what they thought the us had already done.

Take that information and relate it to pictures. I'm not saying the pictures look funky. I've never been to space or the moon. I don't know for sure what they should look like. However, if someone claims the atmosphere of the moon would change or did change the picture then what you just said actually proves that validity. What you said is that there is a visual atmosphere but that it does not have the same physical properties most planetary atmospheres have.

>then do it
There are some pretty simple proofs

Proof: The Earth always casts a round shadow on the moon. If it were flat, this would not happen.

Proof: Witnessing the sun/moon/ships disappearing over the horizon from bottom to top. If the Earth were flat they would not appear to be moving downwards

Proof: Pillars cast shadows of different lengths and at different angles, depending on where they are on the globe. If the Earth were flat, all shadows would be uniform

Proof: You can see farther from a high vantage point, even when you're looking across a flat plane. If the Earth were flat, your field of vision would be exactly the same, no matter how high up you were.

Proof:

It's all in the optics, my friend. If you make your filming subject a specific point in the sky using a wide-angle lens, objects will appear to get disproportionately smaller as they get further and further from the center of the shot. It's yet another case of fisheye effect, something that flatheads choose to ignore or apply as is convenient for them. Here's a great example of what sunsets look like when you're focusing on the sun instead of an arbitrary point in the sky:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwus2nqU0SY

Here's a long video of a sailboat passing over the horizon, totally unedited.

Some discussion on flatheads:
https://www.metabunk.org/what-to-do-about-the-flat-earthers-debunk-or-ignore.t6707/

Tons and tons of debunking of commonly presented "proof," most notably of the polar projection model that always pops up in flathead discussions.

At the end of the day, flatheads, regardless of their personal convictions, are all equally guilty of intellectual dishonesty. They pick and choose what's acceptable for "proof," ignore legitimate rebuttals, and handwave away anything that contradicts their point of view. They'll just continue to offer up the same tired old "proof" and demand it be refuted anew a few weeks from now. For this reason, I intend to start demanding proof of their "ice wall" Antarctica before discussing any other "proof" they have to offer. Given their proclivity for moving the goalposts on what they'll allow for evidence, I'm setting these criteria for what I'll consider as irrefutable evidence(see follow-up post)
>>
>>17409481
1) Book a cruise semi-circumnavigating Antarctica from either New Zealand to South America, or vice versa.

http://www.cruisecritic.com/articles.cfm?ID=1327

https://www.google.com/#q=cruises+that+circumnavigate+antarctica

2) Provide daily, time-stamped video of your trip, including such details as your departure, cruising speed, course, shipboard activities, and your arrival at port, confirming you are indeed where they told you you'd be.

3) Documentation proving you actually took the trip.

4) Explain how it was possible to make such a trip in the elapsed time using a flat earth model.

Sounds like a fun vacation to me, and one that you and your fellow flatheads shouldn't have any trouble getting a fund-raising campaign started to cover, you know, in the name of truth.

Not 100 percent, no. But some things seem more plausible than others

For example, when I see a video recorded by NASA where "astronauts" are working on the "international space station" and a water bubble escapes from their helmets, it seems more plausible that it was filmed in a water tank than in space

Cool to see the "bubbles" traveling in different directions instead of just straight toward the "surface" there at 3:56 to 4:06. It's also the first case of "tumbling bubbles" I've ever seen.

My point is that if the evidence for a hoax starts falling apart with tools no more robust than what's in our hands courtesy of a website, MSPaint, and our own application of physics, it's not all that great as far as evidence goes.

If you'd like, hunt down the "bubble" footage that has you convinced and we'll see how well it holds up o scrutiny, assuming that you're talking about different footage than what I already turned up.

The dumbest bit about the moon landing hoaxers is if it was faked why would the Soviets congratulate the US after it happened? Soviets tracked Apollo 11 to the moon, or else they would have called it out as fake, and if the US could get a dummy Apollo 11 to the moon, why would they need to fake the landing?

Radiation shielding because long term exposure is bad. They can't leave someone on the moon for months or send someone to mars because of the months of solar radiation. A few days probably upped the Apollo astronauts' chances of getting cancer a few %.

As promised. A compilation of sunrises and sunsets employing a variety of lenses. Sometimes the sun stays the same size as it approaches the horizon, sometimes, it appears to shrink. So either the sun changes its method of setting depending on how the event is being captured, or the method itself just changes how it appears.

Which sounds more likely to you? Here's one for free, flatheads. Call it "quantum optics" - depending on the method of observation, the sun either recedes to its "vanishing point" or it just zips out past the edge of your flat earth and ducks below the horizon until the observer stops observing.

I think you underestimate how paranoid Americans actually are towards other Americans. It's bred into them from a young age. They don't trust each other.

I'm not saying that being disrespectful to Americans, because I don't trust Americans either. There's something "fake" about them. Going to America is like entering some Stepford Wives reality. People are almost caricatures of acting the part of themselves.

It's kind of a pop culture feedback loop. There's too many people out there utterly convinced they're the "protagonist" in some vast drama. They tailor their behavior based more on how they want to be perceived than what their personality actually is, although I'm not at all sure that's unique to the states.

And one of the biggest moon hoax "theorists" active today is from Australia.

>>17410878
Your example doesn't work though.

You are arguing wide angle lenses and focusing on arbitrary points in the sky.
You then provide what you call "A great example" of how a sunset looks when not filming that arbitrary point in the sky.
But the example is pointless because it is using a completely different lens, which would produce a different result to a wide angle no matter where the focal point is.

>>17411158

I am 100% sure you are misinterpreting something that was said, or just parroting bullshit you saw in a youtube video made by some tinfoil.

>I think it's fake because I saw a video with bubbles therefore they are under water!
You made a claim.
Someone showed you how they are not bubbles and explained why.

You basically ignored this, claimed you don't know what video you saw, and that it doesn't matter because you have seen other videos.

You tinfools are all the same. You don't want to admit you might be wrong so you just slide it under the rug.

So because he showed me a video that I didn't watch that proves that the video I did watch didn't obviously have bubbles in "space". That makes a lot of sense

As a point of fact, I went out and found the original, unedited video, took it to a website that lets you advance Youtube vids frame by frameI provided in >>17409721, then left it up to him whether or not he wanted to look.

You keep making vague claims and "Covering all of my bases" so that no matter what video someone shows you to point out that it isn't bubbles, you can just say "well it wasn't that one, it was a different one! but I swear it's true!"

You have convinced yourself that you saw something and have decided this is evidence for your false beliefs, but you are afraid to even try and find that video to back up your beliefs.

film grain
video compression effects

The fact that they don't behave at all like bubbles should be your first clue that they aren't bubbles.

You have to come up with ridiculous explanations like "the water is swirling like a vortex", just to try and make sense of it.

You aren't looking for the truth. You aren't willing to consider alternate explanations. All you've done is jumped on a conclusion, and refused to listen to anything that didn't support that conclusion.

>>17412183
No, there aren't. You're delusional and imagining things that aren't there.

>>17412206
I've listened. I don't know why you believe bubbles go in a perfectly straight line when there's movement in the water

They're clearly on the video at the times I pointed out

Water that is moving the "bubble" around, but not the astronaut or any other props?

How do you explain the movement of the flag in this video? Shouldn't it be swaying around slowly along with the water?
https://youtu.be/gMxQEHfU6hM

Your argument doesn't make the slightest bit of sense. You also fail to show that they aren't imperfections in the video itself, or the result of compression/tracking.

You've hastily jumped to a conclusion, and now you're too conceited to come back and deal with all the evidence.
>>
>>17412291
What's easier to move? A solid human being or an air bubble? What kind of argument is that? A child can figure that out

He's waving the flag around. Do you think you can't make things move underwater?

Why would NASA be using such a shitty camera that can't record clear picture? Why does this "tracking" look exactly like a bubble?

Hmmm...except I don't believe whatever I'm told just because it's a large scale lie, so I don't see how that's "exactly like me"

You're ironic.

You call other people brainwashed yet you're the one who's been brainwashed by some retarded conspiracy theory.

You accuse others of making arguments that don't make sense and then talk about bubbles in space.

You accuse others of not being able to accept that they're being lied to meanwhile you're the one who's being lied to by some conspiracist, and you believe them.

If that's not ironic I don't know what is.

are you actually brain damaged?

Do you have even a basic understanding of mathematics? It all happens in theory.

If somebody says "1 + 1 = 3", you can easily prove them right or wrong.

If somebody says "this formula is what allowed our rocket to reach outer space", you can easily prove them right or wrong.

Is any of this getting through to you?
>>
>>17412567
Do you know what brainwashing is? It's systematically conditioning someone to believe something. So the large scale of space related things in movies, video games, tv, books, magazines would be considered brainwashing.

Do you really not understand the bubbles thing or are you just acting stupid? They aren't in space, they're in a water tank.

>>17412573
If I believed in whatever I'm told why wouldn't I believe NASA since I've been told since I was 5 that we went to space. I mean these videos that question NASA show the exact footage that NASA showed and points out the inconsistencies of the story that are clearly evident

>>17412584
Yeah, except we've never been to space so these theories aren't proven. And what theories there are about movement in "space" don't match up with the footage we've been shown.

Nope! I told everyone exactly what I was providing and provided it. The only people in the sun discussion who've either misrepresented themselves out of either ignorance or an a desire to mislead have been people providing links to *a* sunset without further information and saying "explain this!"

I explained it. Now have a wonderful day and, as always, go fuck yourself.

But what you yourself *can* do is find the original scan on NASA's web gallery and perform your own check. It avoids any additional digital artifacts introduced from looking at what are, essentially, copies of copies of copies.

Let's take it one bit at a time, then. Find the video and tell us where we can find it, and we'll see if it holds up.

Just so you know, I'm trying to give you the benefit of the doubt, here, but the first three links I saw concerning bubbles on space walks were for the first Chinese EVA(spacewalk) from back in 2007. It happened on Shinzhou 7.

Last week I admitted in a bar that I had sex with three models at the same time.
And guess what? This was a lie to get attention from other people.
And guess another thing. Other people can lie too to get attention.

Also Stanley Kubriks moon landing would probably be better than the shitty one we have now.
>>
>>17411895
Ok, I've watched the video in its entirety and before we move any further, let me establish a a few things I hope we can agree on:

1) Bubbles should always travel "upward" in the direction of lessening pressure.

2) Pressure in a liquid decreases as depth decreases. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical_pressure_variation

3) Objects immersed in water experience "drag" and decelerate in the absence of a source of propulsion. If that force is the result of buoyancy, they should follow roughly the same path as an air bubble.

What follows is a detailed list of objects I spotted dispersing from the vicinity of Steve Bowen as filmed by Al Drew and remote cameras on the ISS. The majority of the objects in question start around 9:24 and continue through around 9:42. I'm providing the below link for anyone who would like to follow along and examine these objects frame by frame.

More in my next post.
>>
>>17413401
Here's my breakdown with time, relevant frames, and a brief description of the rough "path" the objects appear to be following, designating the top of the camera frame as our "north"(N).

Drew-Bowen spacewalk 2011
http://rowvid.com/?v=3OUTa8RhZvI

9:24 - 564.15 through 564.67 - E
9:24 - 564.24 through 564.70 - E
9:29 - 569.27 through 569.59 - N
9:32 - 572.28 through 575.70 - three separate objects:
Near backpack:ENE; Near boot(572.86):E; Near backpack(574.82): NE
9:40 - 580.63 through 580.90 - near boot NNW
9:42 - 582.17 through 583.06 - two objects:
Both near backpack - NE and E at greatly different apparent velocities.

And that covers all the objects I personally see leaving from the vicinity of the astronaut during the video. Now, if we arbitrarily choose an "up," which do we choose? If our "up" is the direction of "bubble" travel, how do the other objects immersed in this "fluid" move out of frame so rapidly? Since they can't be bubbles and don't appear to be acting under the influence of buoyancy, shouldn't they decelerate and drift downward? This doesn't really leave all that many possibilities.

I did note some other things during the course of the video, though. Some excellent examples of objects acting in ways that they simply do not act as a result of being immersed in water. Check out the followiing:

05:35 - floating metallic objects.
22:35 - more floating metallic objects

To provide some contrast, here's some footage of actual underwater training, The relevant material starts around 7:50. Around 14:20, there's a great example of bubbles with a similar vantage point to the spacewalk footage.

http://rowvid.com/?v=1mzIhD3L_iU

How do the "bubbles" compare?

>He's waving the flag around. Do you think you can't make things move underwater?

Yup! You sure can wave flags around underwater; just don't expect them to look anything like a flag waving in space.

In the spirit of being thorough, I just thought wanted to shed some more light on this topic. I was accused of trying to misrepresent some facts earlier when I said:

>>17409481
>Here's a great example of what sunsets look like when you're focusing on the sun instead of an arbitrary point in the sky:

By this, I made the mistake of assuming that it was understood that when you're "focusing" on a particular object, photographers typically choose a telephoto lens and use wide-angle lenses for panoramic views. That was my error in assuming that everyone was at least that much on the same page.

Just wanted to clear that up.

>>17412436
>Because people are so brainwashed
And this is what all these conspiracy theories come down to.
A sense of importance and an inflated ego, where YOU are one of the few who are truly awake and not a sheep.

You need this to be true, so that you can confirm your desperate desire of being special and above everyone else.
>>
>>17412629
>the large scale of space related things in movies, video games, tv, books, magazines would be considered brainwashing.
Are you really this dumb?

They aren't trying to brainwash into believing anything with that. Space is a common theme because it's cool, mysterious, and one of the last unexplored frontiers.

No, you did it in a very sneaky way.

>Argues the effects of wide angle lens and focusing on abritrary points
>Here is a great example of not focusing on an abrirtrary point
You never once mentioned that the example was a different lens and not even relevant to your original argument.
If you had a video with a fish eye of the same scene and then the one you posted to give context it would make sense.

Nice try shill, but you were caught out.

>>17413120
>White balance
That wouldn't get rid of the stars...

Learn to camera before you attempt to lecture others.
>>
>>17413970
Maybe next time you will learn photography before you start lecturing people.

Focusing on a subject has nothing to do with focal length. You could use a 8mm lens to focus on the same object as a 200mm lens.
>>
>>17414590
But I did provide examples, and and some of them clearly show the sun sinking below the horizon, while others show if shrinking to a point, so what's changing, the sun's behavior or the lens's?
>>
>>17414605
Thanks for the info. I'm far from a photography expert, but then again, neither was the guy who posted that initial sun image.

Was I correct in describinghow a wide-angle would affect objects not in the center of its shot? In other words, were someone to point a wide-angle lens squarely at the sun and follow it along its path, would it still give the appearance of shrinking out of sight or would it simply show it sinking below the horizon like the telephoto shirts show?
>>
>>17414595
Yeah, from what I understand, that's exposure, right?
>>
>>17414632
>>17414635
Pay attention, flatheads. Watch as your opponent doesn't maintain a death grip on his assertions and actually requests clarification from someone who appears to be more knowledgable on a subject.

>>17392524
>>17403672
The horizon looks closer on the moon because its radius is smaller.
>>
>>17414590
Think what you will. Here are some more. It's not an easy thing to know what setup is being used in a particular shot(at least not to me) if there's no obvious fisheye distortion.

Take em or leave em.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNSyaCwglKc

Bear in mind, I've seen plenty of closeups of the sun, center-of-shot, sinking below the horizon and not one of it shrinking to a point and fading away.

I still suspect that the "shrinking" effect has something to do with wide-angle lenses and hoping >>17414605 will provide more expertise than I can bring to bear.

In short, I can rationalize your "shrinking sun." Can you rationalize my sinking one?

I think there are legitimate shills at work at the heart of all this bullshit, but I think it's assholes trying to draw people in with "buy muh conspiracy book!" The thought that dishonest fucks like that are actually making a living off of the gullibility of others makes me sick at heart.

Americans did land on the moon. It doesn't matter that there's no evidence of that. Kubrick claimed that he shot "the landing" and died soon after these words, pff, just a coincidence. There are photos, guys, although it'd be pretty damn hard to take pictures with the level of radiation on the Moon, who cares. With all due respect, it's stupid to be in denial. To me it's pretty obvious that The Americans faked it, because everything about space was better in the USSR. Guys, c'mon, even today the U.S. uses Russian rockets etc.

I personally agree that nobody landed on the Moon. It's enough to watch and anylize Kubrick's Shining to say so. Not to say that it's ridiculous to believe that the technology was lost, so there was no more landing since 1969. It makes you doubt, if the landing was real. IMHO

>>17413234
>Also Stanley Kubriks moon landing would probably be better than the shitty one we have now.
Exactly. He would have made an awesome moon landing film. Just imagine if he directed Apollo 19.

ok i must admit that this documentary is real good and professional !
