I was thinking about that. I quote one paragraph from him and immediately get ten angered replies.

Anyway, here are some more facts for you to feast on:
Quote:
FACT: Film footage taken inside the capsule of ALL Apollo missions, shows a light blue haze, and curvature of Earth through capsule window, when they were supposedly half way to the Moon, and in the blackness of space. This proves that capsule was only in Earth orbit.
Oh, I get it- so you can't see the curvature of Earth or have light reflected onto your spacecraft if you are not orbiting it.

Quote:
FACT: Anyone who believes the Moon landings must be "essentially green".
How convincing this fact is. You really showed me the way of truth with that gem of a fact.

Quote:
FACT: Earth is 250,000 miles from the Moon, yet reflected sunlight from its surface is strong enough to illuminate the darkness on planet Earth. Anyone hovering above surface would be blinded by the light.
I don't remember the equation for calulating lux or luminosity, but I do remember reading once that the Moon actually provides such little illumination that the sun at Pluto is about 217 times brighter than a fully lit Moon appears to us on Earth. Also, he fails to acknowledge the albedo of the Moon is only around 4%.

Quote:
FACT: Alleged Moon rock is basalt rock found here on Earth. NASA made it radioactive by "baking it" in a radiation oven.If it is genuine Moon rock, then it was brought back by a scoop and return probe.
I like this. Here he is essentially saying "There claims are wrong, but if someone proves they are right, then they are actually lying as to the source of the rocks."

Quote:
FACT: In 1969 computer chips had not been invented. The maximum computer memory was 256k, and this was housed in a large air conditioned building. In 2000 a top of the range computer requires at least 64 Mb of memory to run a simulated Moon landing, and that does not include the memory required to take off again once landed. The computer on board Apollo 11 had 32k memory.
Here this chump gets confused with software needed to run a graphically appealing lunar landing game and the software needed to perform simple calculations to take LMs to the surface. Although the LM computer could not add two numbers, it was not needed to, whereas a simulation of a lunar landing needs to model a LM, all its systems, a landscape, etc.[/quote]
