I'm told that there are some idiots who claim that man has never landed on the moon, and that all the photos were taken in a studio! Well the laser reflector proves conclusively that they did land, because it is used practically every week by astronomers. Alan Griffin I'm not going to say the man on the moon stunt was faked or real. Either way though Alan you are not wise using the mirror as a proof they did go there. I mean no man would be needed to place that mirror there. This is an example of what I mean when I say you use evidence irrationally to support your bias towards science as though it could do no wrong. Not all scientists are non political, and we all know how politics stinks. To give you due, though, religion likewise. Not all churchmen believe in Hell if they tell a lie. There was a scientist, a priest, who faked the Peking man.............Hmmm Double Jeopardy lol. Philip. For what its worth I was on duty camera operator for TV Seven during the live telecast, and from my frame of reference it looked pretty good. All the movements pointed to 0.16 g/earth. Now why wouldn't there be some studio produced promotional photos? Sounds like good sense. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alan Griffin" <ajg@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <geocentrism@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, August 08, 2004 6:47 AM Subject: [geocentrism] Re: The Sun/ Comment & question On 07 Aug, Jack Lewis <jandj.lewis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Dear Alan, How do we know that the radar ranging is accurate?

You send an incredibly high power radar pulse out, and it reflects back off the object you're looking at, and when it returns you see how long it has taken to do the double journey, and work it out by distance = speed x time. They do the same with laser beams to the moon, reflecting it off the reflector which the astronauts from Apollo 14 left on the moon for that purpose. They can measure the distance to the moon to within a millimetre! I'm told that there are some idiots who claim that man has never landed on the moon, and that all the photos were taken in a studio!
