Operation Lune, if you can find it on the www is downright creepy. BTW the Rover dust is hard to debunk. I'll give you that ![]()

You left out some stuff. Unfortunately, like many HB's, you totally ignore Project Mercury, Project Gemini, and Apollo's 7, 8, 9, and 10. So,
1961 - 1963: Mercury program. Tests initial ability to put a man in space. Longest flight is about 1.7 days 1965 to 1966: Gemini program. 10 manned flights test details of rendezvous, long duration flight, EVA's, and orbital dynamics. All of these are required for the eventual success of: 1967 to 1972: Project Apollo: Design of the Apollo spacecraft began in the early 60's, so this date only refers to the launches. In particular October 68: Apollo 7 tests the Command module in earth orbit. December 69: Apollo 8 tests Saturn V and actual lunar transit. March 69: Apollo 9 tests the LM in earth orbit. May 69: Apollo 10 tests LM in lunar orbit including descent to within a few thousand feet of the surface. July 69: Apollo 11 actually lands on the moon. So, when you look at the whole space program you should see a logical progression of tests and gradual growth in complexity. That's the real history of Apollo, not some gobbled together conspiracy. ETA: Ah, I see you're talking about the infamous parody film in which Rumsfeld supposedly "confesses" to the faking. A total fabrication and joke. The inability to recognize parody when it's happening seems to be a feature of most HB's.

A music business lawyer acquantance told me he once dinner with Neil Armstrong. Neil had a minder(s?) with him, and no dinner conversation about Apollo was permitted.
I find it strange that the astronauts seem reluctant to talk about their experiences. Their behaviour is more redolent of shell-shock than triumph. Face the press with Armstrong Aldrin and Collins... http://www.EricHufschmid.net/apollo1...conference.wmv

Oh give it a break! A friend of a friend of a friend told me... Blah blah blah. No evidence, no proof, no argument.

Of course Operation Lune is a parody. By the time we are in Vietnam if you haven't 'got it' your IQ is not above room temperature.
Strange that people like Rumsfeld etc played along, I thought. 2002 Operation Lune

Armstrong is apparently a very private person and does not talk about his experiences. I would recommend you see the film In the Shadow of the Moon which has interviews with all the surviving Apollo astronauts (except Armstrong who did not participate). At the end of the film they spend several minutes debunking (actually making fun of) some of the conspiracy stuff. Now, other than the lawyer acquaintance, do you any actual evidence?

So if the film is a parody what the heck in it makes you think the landing was faked? Don't you suppose Rumsfeld, Kissinger, et al might just have a sense of humor and thought it was a lark to do the film? As to Hufschmeid, he's a totally discredted source here and his "arguments" have been debunked many times.
As to you, you're doing the HB dance right now moving around arguments. See you later troll.

Ok, what about Vietnam, I missed serving there by about 2 years. What that got to do with this?

The astronauts are anything but reluctant to talk about their experiences. They've written books, apeared on television, spoken to the press and to authors. Many of them are selective about whom they speak to, and Armstrong has to be especially so because he was the first. If he answered every single request to talk about Apollo 11 he'd do nothing else with his life, ever.

I am just relaying what I was told. The lawyer is semi-retired now, but was one of the top 2 in Scotland during the 80's and 90's.

Well, good for him or her - I hope they are enjoying their semi-retirement. And this proves the moon landing were a hoax how?

This I don't understand - I was being general - of course 'Lune' is a hoax.

Ah - I see where the misunderstanding has arisen. In the 'plot' of 'Lune' the CIA are supposed to be going after the people who made the 'Apollo hoax' film - and the action moves to Vietnam. By now what had started out as a semi-plausible expose is becoming ludicrous. No offence meant to ex-Nam vets, or anybody else.
Does this clear things up?

Antoniseb was referring to this:
"Of course Operation Lune is a parody. By the time we are in Vietnam if you haven't 'got it' your IQ is not above room temperature." Such a remark is insulting to those who do not agree with the stated premise. If this is your remark, an apology is in order. If you are quoting someone else and do not agree with them, or if you are saying what the parody implies and do not agree with that, you should say so.
