Slasher,

I'll give you some advice now, before you get burned later in life. When someone tells you somebody said ___________ (fill in the blank) and ask them to show you the proof. If you look at the moon hoax sites, you'll see a lot of unnamed sources. For example, a retired engineer at Grumman said this or my father worked for NASA and he has all these photos. Of course no one is ever named and the photos never appear.

I'll give you my own example of one of the problems I have with the Moon Hoax. Quite frequently on hoax websites you will see: the space suits couldn't withstand the high temperature of the lunar surface. When I look at the of information of these websites, I see that they know nothing about heat transfer, including in some cases violating some laws of physics. Tell them they're wrong and you just a NASA pawn, etc.,

Just so you know, I have a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering with an emphasis in heat transfer and have worked in this area for almost twenty years. I've also taught heat transfer and related classes at a university, so I'm not a nutty NASA pawn, just someone who know heat transfer very well.

On the other hand, I'm not an expert on photography, so I use the others on this BB who are and I have to say I've learned a lot.

I think the primary reason, I don't believe in the whole hoax myth is that thousands of people worked on the moon landings and no one has ever come forward and said it was a hoax. How long does a secret last at your school?
