Default Rammstein moon hoax video?

New Rammstein video has parallel shadows...!



Oops! How is the Earth lit differently than the moon?

Nice footprint, though....


By extensive calculations of refractive lighting angles and impossible physics, you can see that Rammstein was never on the moon.
Oh, and they're not wearing helmets.

Also, the ascent and descent modules are not aligned: the front of the ascent module is turned 90 degrees clockwise relative to the descent module. Going to be a little hard to reach the surface that way!

A properly configured lunar module

No stars in the sky either.

Nice to see German MTV is returning to MTV roots (remember the astronaut logo) and actually shows music videos.

That would be a giant leap for man....
Funny, looks like they got it right in other scenes - must have been someone intentionally leaving a clue so the hoax would be exposed!


Appears the hatch is closed though... keys are inside, natch.
But at least they got the most important aspect right - 60's Astronaut Haircuts!

They expect us to believe that 6 guys landed on the surface in a LM designed for only two. Just how dumb do they think we are? I don't see any stars either. The Earth looks way too big and I have calculated that both it and the sun are in the wrong position for the alleged flight time.

Lyford was right about them having the correct haircuts for astronots. It's much better than that fradulent Led Zepplein cover that would have us believe a bunch of long hairs flew to the moon.

7 guys. Someone is holding the camera. I wondered why they bothered packing the drum set though when they expected the Moon to have no air (good thing it did though, obviously NASA was covering up that the Moon has an atmosphere.)

The video is available online:

I particualrly like the flag scene. I detected some "Slight" rippling of the flag's surface, but the astronots were touching it so it may not be proof of the conspiracy.

They've got some nice looking ones here at SpaceToys.com.

They range from $450 (no helmet, gloves, or boots included) to $8800 for a really nice replica of an Apollo 17 suit.

The cost would justify it.. If I could find R. Hoagland's home address and knock on his door with a box of girl scout cookies in my hand.

Those look neat, but the video suits seem to have the "heft" of the originals. For some reason, the lunar EVA suits always seemed the coolest to me. Somehow the proportions just seem right, the gold visors and the blue and red connectors all seem much neater than the pumpkin suits of today.
In the vid, you can see Til Lindemann is wearing an Apollo 11 suit with the NASA meatball and an ARMSTRONG tag. They even added fiducials in a few shots!

Though Til is looking a bit haggard in a few scenes....

Is it just me, or do you think the guy in that photo looks a lot like Neil Armstrong also?

You know, I think that may actually be a photo of Neil Armstrong.


Or did you mean the one above?

Yes, I meant the one above. I provided an image of Neil Armstrong for comparison.

Wow - he does look like Neil - except the Rammstein guy is wearing a Shuttle suit - notice the "worm" logo on the guitar!

I just found this at the rammstein site - IKEA style flag instructions!
