...Are you or anyone else here aware of any official NASA photographs that indicate fakery?
I'd just like to know before I introduce you all to some
Not so fast, please. First of all, there are multiple problems with your claims so far, which you have not satisfactorily addressed. As I pointed out in
post 7 (and others did elsewhere),
1. You claimed
we are nowhere near the technological levels required to send people to the Moon. What technologies,
exactly, are we lacking? As a practicing space engineer, I'm most interested in learning about this.
2. You cited (apparently) the two Shuttle disasters as support for your claims against Apollo. But you haven't addressed the differences between Shuttle and Apollo configurations, nor the fact that the Shuttle has flown 126 times versus only 15 for Apollo, Apollo-Soyuz, and Skylab manned launches
combined. You haven't addressed what the failure history of such flights means for the general nature of manned space travel, and explained what exactly that has to do with travel outside LEO.
Rereading that, it seems a little opaque, so let me simplify that:
"Fatalities in 126 Shuttle missions (orbital) => 9 Apollo lunar missions must have been faked". That bald assertion doesn't cut it; you have to explain the details and account for the differences.
3. You impugned the ability of 1960s technology to do the job. But you have yet to explain exactly
why it was inadequate, despite several challenges. When presented examples of enormously capable 1960s aerospace technology, your countered with
more examples of enormously capable 1960s technology; you undercut your own claim!
4. You disparaged the accomplishments of Apollo as
to walk around, play golf and drive cars up there. This is a gross mischaracterization, and I presented you with a summary of the actual scientific and technical accomplishments.
5. You used a cherry-picked bit from some conspiracist web site* to claim that Carl Sagan disbelieved the Apollo landings. When presented with multiple references to his actual involvement in and acknowledgment of the missions' realization, you simply said
I know what he meant. Since you have been given explicit, unambiguous counterexamples, your unsupported statement of personal belief is insufficient. Now, do you have any actual evidence that Sagan believed Apollo was not real?
6. You claimed that Dan Goldin "let slip" that humans couldn't travel above 400 miles altitude. When numerous posters put this in context for you - a context completely consistent with the Apollo record as well as current planning and investigations - you claimed that they (well, Jay in particular)
can't speak on behalf of the man. And yet you can, even though your only knowledge of the interview is the same out-of-context snippet* endlessly regurgitated amongst the hoax believer (HB) community? Or are you actually able to supply the context for what he said?
for the first time.
I very strongly doubt that. You have made no original claims yet; there is nothing to indicate your claims of photographic "fakery" will be original.
In any case, I don't intend to follow a "Gish gallop" across the usual spectrum of HB claims. There are specific claims you have made which need to be defended - or retracted - first. Of course, you are free to do as you wish, but I don't intend to be trolled that way, and will consider any undefended claims as abandoned.
*You may certainly disprove this by providing original citations.
