If I had come across this by accident, I would have thought it was a tongue in cheek attempt to make the hoaxers look ridiculous (Like they need more help).
If Der Voron is pulling their legs, he's pretty committed to it. But he's the same way -- worse, actually -- in private. He really is that clueless. What I want to know is how people who are so patently incompetent can get "air time". I can understand why the Weekly World News or some other such rag would be interested in it, but how can these people convince publishers that their material has any value?
I also wanted to thank you for your contributions here and on Clavius. I've learned a great deal. For me, the one positive aspect of this whole Moon Hoax nonsense has been the rekindling of my interest in the history of the Apollo program.
Me too, and we're not the only ones. If you haven't yet ordered Virtual Apollo, do so immediately. I spoke with its author Scott Sullivan, and he said his interest in the project was also kindled by conspiracy theories. He was surprised at the claim that "the blueprints" had been destroyed and so he went around to see what was really available. The result is a finely-detailed digital model of the Apollo CSM that he has constructed using the Pro/ENGINEER CAD system, based on original drawings.
