The truth about your skepticism is simply this -- you don't believe because you don't want to believe. Put in the positive -- you want to not believe. Why this is so almost defies belief but confronted by the reality of it I must believe. Paul D I want to believe Paul.. but this does not make me shrink from skepticism when I see funny business.. or even a good valid political imperative to fake a head start. In fact when I was at woomera, there was open discussion about how second rate to russia we were, and a faked mission would not have surprised anyone. Are you aware of the recent stir on this very subject from China. China has announced an intent to launch a photo mapping survey of the moon, both sides. China maintains there are differences between Russian and US stories.. They also added in, almost as if the were inferring a hoax, that the quality of the pics will be able to confirm the appollo site relics in high definition.. No enthusiasm from NASA over this announcement.. Of course not from me either, as I do not doubt that China is just as much under the "zionist" jackboot as we are, and when push comes to shove they will back down, like Russia does, and will when we bushwhack Iran. Mind you as the US crumbles, ( by design) the hoax truth if it is true, will become an open joke, and it won't matter to Zion any more for the truth to out.. China seems to be set to becoming the new empire..

Having noted that, could you explain why Armstrong's one and only rehearsal in the lunar lander, which ended in loss of control and his ejection within seconds of his life, did not adhere to what you yourself claim is essential? Also, since you first of all dismissed out of hand the monitor men that I remarked upon, but now offer a very detailed explanation of their duties and responsibilities, I was wondering whether you might invite the source of your comments onto the forum, so that we may discuss it directly with him, rather than having everything through a third party as it were?

So if the photos are contrived, what were all those men sitting in front of monitors really doing? Why don't you look at this evidence? I did at a time when I didn't want to believe that it could have been a hoax but as much as tried to ignore the critics, my common sense told me the critics were right. And since then the evidence against the moon landings increases. Would you like me to give you a link to just one of these sites? Let me ask you a question. Why was it necessary for NASA to rehearse Armstrong's decent of the ladder in a studio set that looked exactly like the 'real thing'? During this rehearsal a light gantry collapsed behind Armstrong and he remarked, " I suppose we need to do that again" or words to that effect. I can provide you with a link to the video - if you are interested. Jack I've visited many of these hoax sites and found none to be convincing. I've been to hoax debunking sites and found them to be convincing. I'll try one of you hoax sites just to show that I'm prepared to look and I'll report to you on my findings. I'll also answer specific questions from you concerning your nominated site. I'm not interested in video -- it's way too slow and soaks up too much of my monthly ration of MBs. The men in the rows of stations are organised by function. There was one for engineering -- do you want to guess at how many components there were in an Apollo vehicle -- where they were interested in monitoring the operation of the various processes; another was, I believe, concerned with operations; but definately I do remember that one whole row was concerned with navigation. The accuracy required of heading and thrust in order to achieve success is staggering and the maths involved would curl my teeth. Remember that in the late 1960s, computers were not the capable devices we have today. Why don't you look into that? Rehearsals -- now there's a story! Have you ever been in the military Jack? If you have you should have some rudimentary idea of the need for and the value of rehearsals. Getting some tiny task exactly and immediately right, in the rain and in the dark, can be the difference between winning the action and losing, but more important -- on a personal level -- is that it might be the difference between living to eat breakfast and having your guts and your brains splattered all over the countryside and the bloke next to you. In the case of Apollo in particular but space navigation in general, every tiny task is rehearsed and the results analysed to the nth degree. Each mission costs buckets of money and to have a failure because a spanner wouldn't fit a nut or a vital adjusting knob was just out of reach is innexcusable! Why would you think that coming down a ladder didn't need rehearsal? It's very often the trivial, the unimportant which is the cause of disaster. Are you aware of the enormous water tank in which astronauts and their helpers exercise with full size mockups? These sorts of things are very expensive and they aren't built to impress the visitors. The truth about your skepticism is simply this -- you don't believe because you don't want to believe. Put in the positive -- you want to not believe. Why this is so almost defies belief but confronted by the reality of it I must believe.
