The Lowest Price In Town Non Fiction Is Never Going To DieThe requested URL /?p=38838 was not found on this server. Here are some of the most common claims made to suggest that the missions were faked and our responses. 1.“There’s no wind on the Moon, so how come the flag was blowing in a breeze?” It is absolutely correct to say there cannot be any wind on the Moon’s surface and a flag would just hang limply from its pole, so the nylon flags planted on the Moon were held out by a horizontal rod projecting from the pole. Once they were planted the flags hung motionless for the rest of the mission (apart from occasions when they were disturbed by an astronaut brushing past). There are hours of video tapes showing the flags remaining absolutely stationary. TV programmes and internet videos occasionally edit these to show just the flag flapping about as an astronaut plants it to make it look like it is fluttering in a breeze.  TV shows and some internet videos are not often made by stupid people, so they know exactly what they were doing, setting out to lie to their audience.

(Does that make you angry? 2. “The photographs taken on the Moon don’t show any stars in the sky!” All the Apollo missions landed during the lunar day so the astronauts’ cameras exposure settings were set to photograph the Moon’s surface, the Lunar Module and the astronauts themselves as they were brightly illuminated by the Sun. The stars were simply too dim to register on the film under these settings. Look at photos taken in Earth orbit from say the International Space Station, you will not see any stars in them either. 3. “The astronauts should have been killed by the lethal radiation of the van Allen Belts! Their space ship would have needed six feet of lead shielding!” The Apollo missions did indeed pass through the van Allen Belts, invisible ‘doughnuts’ of radiation surrounding our planet. If astronauts were to stay in the Belts, they would eventually be killed by the radiation. The mission planners were well aware of this hazard. However the Apollo missions passed through the fringes of the Belts where the radiation is not as intense and the spacecraft transited the Belts in less than 30 minutes.

During this time the astronauts did not receive a dangerous dose of radiation. Lead shielding was not required. The radiation hazard to Apollo crews was carefully evaluated before the missions and medical examinations of the astronauts showed that as predicted there was no impact on their health. 3. “If Neil Armstrong was the first man on the Moon, who filmed him climbing down the ladder?” This is so unmysterous that it is amazing that anyone makes a fuss about it! duel 26l backpackAs he descended the ladder to the surface, Armstrong stopped to pull a cable which released a TV camera which swung out from the side of the Lunar Module. cdw laptop backpackThis was to broadcast his historic first steps worldwide. rilakkuma backpack malaysia

On recordings you can hear him asking mission control if they were getting a good picture before he continued climbing down. 4. “The Lunar Module was made of tinfoil and sticky tape and doesn’t look like a real spaceship!” The Lunar Module was a unique vehicle, designed to fly just twice per mission in airless and low gravity conditions so it did not need a streamlined structure. Large areas of its exterior were covered in Kapton and Mylar foils (which were indeed taped and stapled together in places) to protect components from the Sun’s heat. dussel laptop backpack for aircraft cabinThis is quite common on satellites. dragon backpack for sale bob bassetThe underlying structure including the crew’s cabin was much sturdier, constructed from aluminium alloys.aoking backpack bag

5. “There’s a letter C on on of the Moon rocks (movie props are numbered and lettered so the stagehands know where to place them)!” This is another daft assertion, are Hollywood props really marked in this manner? The image in question is cropped from a much larger image taken during the Apollo 16 mission. In the original image, the rock is clearly visible but no “C” can be seen. In fact the “letter” can only be seen in one print and later generation copies of it. backpack utilaIt is impossible to say, perhaps a tiny coiled hair or fibre was trapped in the scanner. If this is the best Moonhoax proponents can do, it is scarcely surprising no one takes them seriously. (Article by Colin Johnston, Armagh Planetarium) Orders placed between 12/28/2016 and 1/2/2017 Ken Mattinglynatal chart (Placidus)natal chart English style (Equal houses) add Ken Mattingly to 'my astro' American astronaut, one of 19 selected by NASA in April 1966.

A veteran of three space flights, Mattingly served as command module pilot on Apollo 16, which orbited the moon in 1972, and commanded two Space Shuttle missions during the 1980s. He was inducted into the Astronaut Hall of Fame on 10/04/1997. Born in Chicago, Mattingly grew up in Florida and graduated from Miami Edison High School in Miami. He earned his Bachelor of Science Degree in Aeronautical Engineering at Auburn University in 1958 after which he began his Naval career. He received his wings in 1960 and served aboard two aircraft carriers from 1960-1965. Originally scheduled to pilot Apollo 13, Mattingly had to be removed from flight status 72 hours before launch due to exposure to German measles. During his career with NASA, he served as the astronaut representative in development and testing of the Apollo spacesuit and backpack. He resigned in 1985, concurrently retiring from the Navy as a Captain, and took a position at Grumman’s Space Station. He later joined Lockheed Martin.
