Default Presentation on Moon Hoax

I posted a few months ago that I was scheduled to give a presentation on why we didn't not go to the moon -- AKA, debunking the Moon Hoax. There were a few requests for the presentation to be posted, so here is a link to the 3 MB PDF file of it. Note that it is in no way completely inclusive of every hoax claim, but we tried to cover the main ones in the hour we had.

Thanks. I've actually talked with the woman who schedules planetarium shows on campus and she has tentatively put me in to give a show/lecture in July on this. And depending on how that goes, I'll do it in the Fall, and then they'll decide if they want to put the money into it to make it a full-fledged planetarium show.

Well, I just wanted to be clear that it wasn't presenting proof we went to the moon, just presenting proof that we did not not go ... so refuting the claims that we didn't go ...

What was the image on the last page of the presentation? It doesn't show up in my copy.

Is the P&T episode available for download anywhere?

Ah ... sorry. Several of the slides were movie clips, such as the last one. Hence why it doesn't always make sense as a PDF.

I do not know if the P&T episode is available for download presently ... a friend gave it to me and I didn't ask questions.

I assume this was originally done in powerpoint. How big was that file and the accompanying movie file which needs to be present in order to play through the presentation?

Well, it was a Keynote presentation (I'm an anti-M$ person). It was about 60 MB and contained about half a dozen clips.

Are there any tips for giving a presentation using power point. I have made up the presentations for others at work or church, but never got to present them.
