QUOTE : " "Lunar Conspiracies This is the ONLY forum in which you should talk about the Apollo landing conspiracy theory." "

so tell us again where a mars probe conspiracy should be aired ?

but to get back to the ` evidence ` the images are freaking JPEGs thats not " RAW" never was never will be

i am sure that a explaination for the " missing chunks" of NASA images has been posted

IIRC its due to framing / tiling of composite images

but the glaring occams razor response is " DO NOT RELEASE A JPEG WITH BLACKED OUT SECTIONS TO THE PUBLIC "


press and public releases are what NASA want people to see - the apollo photos demonstrate this most clearly

ie in 1969 all whe ` great unwashed ` had were " press releases " the cropped and selected edited highligts of the mission

no one wanted to see the blurred ` ooops ` of aldrins feet or a blank frame

but now in 2004 i can down load a pictire of a window of a apollo craft that shows nothing of merit - it is out of focus and shows nothing that will excite the general public

OTOH aldrins " jump salute " is what people want to see on thier coffe table

i realise that far more tech savy people value such ` junk `shots as a control reference for the photo record of apollo

APE OUT
