Jack on watching this vid it appears that what is proved is the use of promotional photos for publicity.. Nothing was said that negated that the mission was done. Only that the photos they took were not worth using in the publicity. Or did I miss something..

From what you say you also have seen this same evidence. For my part I was convinced that the evidence was incontrovertible at the same time I asked WHY has this been done - if it is true. I also have seen the debunking sites and am not impressed with their explanations. So here you have it I think the case is proved and you don't. You would say I don't want to believe it and I say that you do. The difference between us is that I was converted by evidence but you haven't. I would suggest that you are more biased than I am because I went from being a believer to an unbeliever by sound rational criticism. Here is a U Tube link for you to comment on. There are many more short original videos, on this page which are commented on as well some very stupid editing of original footage. If you have looked at the pros and cons sites then there is little point in me giving you links you may have already seen. However I do suggest you look at the short videos on this link especially this one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6MvcIs4OcQ&mode=related&search= If as you say in your last but one paragraph, rehearsal is all important why in heaven's name did the astronauts smuggle bits and pieces onto their spaceship e.g. a harmonica in defiance of such a supposedly strict rehearsal and mind boggling technical difficulties? Regarding this rehearsing how many times did Armstrong test fly the LEM? If he did how did they simulate flying in 1/6th gravity? As you know there are hundreds of questions like that. Have you watched the video 'A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Moon'? I would be more than happy to send you a copy. Just send me your address.

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.
