Hi there, could someone please tell me what that is again?

I'm sure you guys remember, I don't.

There was piece of it on the Nasa archive.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I am not sure what you are asking for..... can you clarify?

Well, surely you can't recognise that? the middle thumb nail that piece of footage of the testing on the Apollo 11 flight?

It's really weird that you posted a screenshot with eight thumbnails and expected everyone to guess that you want to talk about thumbnail 3. But anyway, I've seen it before. I'm looking for a thread about it now so that I can give you some more information.

No, the screenshot is myn.

I'm talking about the image there with the Earth, that is from the testing footage from Apollo 11.

Hi. I'm interested in learning more about the video shown below:

Can anyone tell me at what point in the mission (what time and date) it was taken and for what purpose it was taken? Thanks in advance for any help.

G'day TDGTTM

Like the others, I don't understand what you're asking about.

I looked at the clip whose URL was at the bottom of the screen dump in the OP, but it just looks like some footage from Apollo 11. What about it did you want to know?

Are you proposing a conspiracy here or are you simply asking a question?

Well tofu, that's a really interesting question. The video was taken at 10 hours and 40 minutes into the mission. It was part of a test that ground control requested, to make sure they could get a clean signal. Here's a quote: "We'd like to get about 10 minutes worth of signal at Goldstone so we can look at the camera quality back here at Houston for about 10 minutes or so when they patch it back into us. What we were saying was that you can go interior or exterior on the camera."

And then after that, the shot shown in the video takes place. A complete transcript of that part of the mission may be found here:

Welcome to BAUT tofu, and please let me know if you have any other questions about that video.

My Question was, why is it there? The archieve should be of relevant footage, not a confusing clip that wasn't supposed to of been shown.

Wait. Did I just see tofu welcome tofu to BAUT?

Maybe that wasn't a hard rainstorm that just hit California, but a timestorm!

Aha! Now we're getting somewhere. Or, maybe not. Why do you feel that this footage was not relevant? What is confusing about the clip? If you're getting at something else, please clue us in.

Why put testing footage, with footage that is for viewing? You see what I'm saying?

Sibrel's attempts were childs play, the former Astronauts should of at least had said what it was.

This would of prevented all this garbage, at least a try in that direction.

I've heard of Bart Sibrel, but I can't say that I'm familiar with his work. Perhaps if you would set up your question by giving a bit of background we would be better able to answer it.

Why shouldn't the clip have been shown?

It looks to me like it's a segment from the live telecast. It was seen by millions. Bart Sibrel is not at all a good authority on what was test footage and what was broadcast.

Well, my personal view is that ANY footage taken by the astronauts while achieving what is still (IMHO) mankind's greatest ever adventure, is very relevant and absolutely fascinating!

I remember seeing it all happen on TV at the time. It is something I will never forget.

I can't say for sure (I was 9 at the time), but I even vaguely remember it (or something very similar). At the time, the world was fascinated with Apollo 11, and watched every little bit that was on TV. I'm sure people were fascinated with live TV pictures of the Earth from halfway to the moon.

So I second it, what is not relevant or confusing?

I have to hand it to you, pete, that's pretty accurate.

But just to show this thread has a point:




BTW, TheyDidGoToTheMoon, a thumbnail linked to the actual image (like the one above) would have been appreciated.
