Default More Proof the Moonlanding was fake

Just look at this secret NASA image and try to spot all of their clumsy mistakes!

After extensive and Accurate analysis- i conclude in my Expert opinion that the evidence suggests that this photo is genuine. The object in question was Obviously misplaced on the moon after travelling through the Bermuda Triangle.

No stars. Flag blowing in the breeze. Non-parallel shadows. Other than that, I don't see anything unusual in the picture.

There are three things wrong with this picture.
1-The Earth is too big
2-The flag is too short
3-There are stars visible

Absolute smoking gun proof of image doctoring!!!!!!

I have seen two things that almost got me going
as regards a hoax. One was some video of the
three Apollo 13 chaps in the spacecraft when
the camera pans! I presume it was a NASA
re-enactment of the event for some kind of
documentary. Secondly was video of one of the
lunar rover excursions where the background
was the same as a previous eva. I had a very
hazy 33 year old recollection of the
explorers going back to a site on the
last outing in one of the last missions.
Hope I am correct in my explanations

Hey, some of the letters on that ship are backwards. Pretty childish mistake if you ask me.

Yeah yeah. You see a big rock that is slightly ship-shaped and you insist it's some artificial object. Next you'll be saying the rock in the bottom-left corner is a creature with a flat head.

Sheesh.

Really? I thought they just borrowed the spray paint template from Toys 'R' Us.

I guess I should have put a smiley in the original post.

What's impressive is the way the phase of Earth matches the shadows. NASA sure know how to do a good fakin'. If Jay can be fooled, anyone can.

Is it me, or is the flag Canadian?

It's you. One can clearly see blue on the top right corner and red on the rest, though the wrinkles/shadows slightly indicate a Canadian Flag if you squint your eyes and have a lot of imagination.

Looks like the ship has rust , no oxygen on the moon, so there should be no rust..

Then the Picture PROVES that NASA has been lying to us- and there is, in fact, oxygen on the moon.

No landing blast evidence radiating out from the ship.

Well we can't really tell you that unless you can be more specific about the clips you are referring to. However, just off the top of my head:

Film was also taken of training and simulations, therefore it is possible the video or film you saw was taken by somoene else. Alternatively, it is also possible to get all three crewmen in shot by the simple method of holding the camera at arm's length and pointing it back at yourself. There was no viewfinder on the camera, and no requirement for the operator to be behind it in order for it to work (any more than there had to be somone sitting behind the rover TV camera). I'll have a quick look at my Apollo 13 DVD from Spacecraft Films and see what I can find.

As for the rover footage, there is very little video of the rover in motion, since it was broadcast via the antenna on the rover and thus could only be received and recorded when the antenna was pointed at Earth. This did allow for a little video while the rover was travelling in a straight line, but nothing extensive. Most of the footage of the rover in motion was captured on 16mm film, and hence was not seen by anyone until well after the astronauts returned. It is therefore probable that you saw the footage in a documentary made after the event and that they simply spliced in the same footage twice for artistic purposes.

I suggest using a monitor calibration website. There are tracks.

Quite an impressive "Russian spaceship"!

I like this cg picture, it's quite impressive. He overstressed the perspective in the footprints a bit and there's a too clear black cutout around the earth (in front of the stars), but other than that, really nicely done.

But...if that ship is Russian and the astronauts American, how did they get there?

That's why it is a hoax. This is one of those automated russian probes while the astronaut is not real.
