Yep, this was the pinnacle of scientific prowess Of American's pride. Too bad later the real money ran dry when Nixon suspended/ended the dollar's convertibility into gold in 1971. It's been downhill since then for our empire. Sure was good times back then and happy to have been there in time.

Mirrors, I tell ya, done with mirrors!

I must say that having lived to see such things, along with the JFK assassination, and still here breathing just about into the end of the 2nd decade of the 21st century...? is quite humbling.

A lot of history has been made in the last 63 years. It really has been what I would call "bitter\sweet". A lot of great memories and times growing up but also a lot of crap and corruption that has yet to make its way down the drain.

My wife lived in Russia until she was 25. She was born three years after the moon landing. She had been told all her life that the moon landing was shot in Hollywood on a sound stage. We had probably been married 3 months before she accepted that the moon landing was a real event!!!

Is that how John Glenn blackmailed to be shot up again? He threatened to spill the beans on the "first" time up?

The moon landing. JFK. 9/11. Area 51.

Theories abound. And I?m positive that none of these (and others) are exactly as we?ve been indoctrinated.

But in my mind I can?t fathom that that many people have kept their secrets all these years.

Those generations are arguably more trustworthy (to not divulge secrets) than recent ones (yay, wiki leaks). But how can the government ensure that NO ONE will break that silence?

Hhmmnn,...........................light sources coming from two distinct different directions. (Look at the Shadows, in the video and the photographs.) [If you care to.] Somewhat unexplainable.


No Stars visible in any photographs/video ever. (Completely black skies.)


Etc. Etc.


Very interesting.

You raise some interesting , but very old ideas.....

I just looked up at the sky, and I didn't see one star, not one, took a photo and there was NO stars in the picture.

BECAUSE IT"S DAY LIGHT TIME< JUST AS THE PICS FROM THE MOON WAS>!!!
There was about 400,000 people involved with the landing........Not one says it was fake????

Here you go, if you want to.....

I am still laughing.

"It was Day light time," in Space. The Sky was pitch black, but there were no stars because it was "Day light time." :roll:


That is some good stuff.

NOT in space you laffing id.

The daylight side of the moon. Just like the earth has a daylight side and a DARK side every 24 hours. I can't see the stars right now at 5:31 cst, but I bet people in China can.

Never heard the expression "Dark side of the moon?" If you were standing on that side
away from the sun you would see all the stars.




You must watch too much StarTrek shows were they go flying pass stars by the hundreds.

I don't know for sure if they landed. But I can promise you, they launched!

I was an 18 year old kid in Atlanta that July, I borrowed the parents' big Ford station wagon, and drove down to Cape Kennedy with two high school buddies. We got there at 3 am. Way out in the country, 14 miles away was the closest we could get.

NASA pr was great, they had the giant rocket all lit up. We could easily see it, it was gleaming white, beautiful.
The side of the highway was packed with people like us, everybody was up and talking among ourselves, drinking beer, or coffee. It was like a pop festival.

It was about 9am they lit it off. My God was a fantastic fireball, and we could see the big rocket slowly climbing into the blue sky.
It was weird, it was completely quiet. I thought it was so far away, the sound wouldn't reach us.
But it did reach us. It took a while, maybe half a minute, but the roar was the loudest sound I have ever heard. The ground shook beneath my feet, or, it felt like it did.
What a fantastic sight to see and feel.

Of course several days later back in Atlanta I watched Armstrong step out onto the moon. It was great.

If you think "lighting" proves anything, you are sadly not understanding physics.
But if that is what you want to think, I will not interfere with your misconceptions.

If it had been fake you can bet one thing the Russian's would still be shouting it from their Onion Dome roof tops in Moscow.

But the US and the Russian's in the space program know if it wasn't for Wernher von Braun and his work with the V-1 that led to his Saturn V rocket we'd still be shooting bottle rockets at the sky.

I did not insult you, or call you names.


Whatever respect I had for you, was lost right there, Sir.

Definition of id


: the one of the three divisions of the psyche in psychoanalytic theory that is completely unconscious and is the source of psychic energy derived from instinctual needs and drives


Think back to that great early Sci-Fi movie: "The Forbidden Planet"....

The monster was from the crazy scientist's mind.

"Monsters from the Id" was the line used by the doctor after he took the brain expander
treatment.

babun

No fight intended here either.
While I may not agree with many things you post, I feel that's what makes this place interesting.

...And you got to find that movie and watch it, {it seems you like science and alternate answers}, It was made in 1956 and is still considered THE sci-fi movie.

The Earth floats in space, he moon floats in space, the sun shines on both. The earth has an atmosphere that affects the sun light. But, when the sun shines on our side on the planet we refer to it as daylight. What to you call it when the sun shines on the moon?

Doris Day.....??????

"By the light, not the dark but the light
Of the silvery moon, not the sun but the moon
I wanna spoon, not croon, but spoon
To my honey, I'll croon love's tune
Honeymoon, honeymoon, honeymoon
Keep a-shinin' in June
Your silvery beams will bring love's dreams
We'll be cuddlin' soon
By the silvery moon
The silvery moon ""

Even more in the past 74 years.

For sure, life is quite an 'adventure' like no other.

And a true fact about life, no one gets out alive!

Forbidden Planet!! A young Leslie Neilson, an old Walter Pigeon, and Robbie The Robot's first gig out of several more!

Definitely a got to see flik from the golden 50's and it is in COLOR!
