sweet sweet liftoff

[irvingadkins616]

This video went viral on United States of America

[Ro13167]

Lift off from the moon!.Yea RIGHT!

This whole thing is tied into that america hoax. As if there is something on the other side of the sea. First they try to make me believe there are americans and THEN the socalled americans have flown to the moon. MAN, the sad state the world is in.)

[paulsnyder]

Been watching this stuff for 40 years and never get tired of it. what an accomplishment!

[krisdevalle]

@NASAvsPETE Maybe you could make a video demonstrating this.

[krisdevalle]

@NASAvsPETE At what point in the film footage is the smaller ball superimposed?

[Cowbananas]

@NASAvsPETE OK, I have one question for you....you say your a ham radio enthusiast. You know a bit about communications, so did the USSR. Now, why have they said nothing to the contrary all these decades, given that they were embroiled in a space race with the US, they were enemies (Cold War). Why have they not proved it was all fake? They certainly had the technology to prove those signals did not come from the moon. They would have jumped at the chance.Come on Pete, tell me.

[krisdevalle]

@NASAvsPETE If this was a 1/8th scale model of the moon, it would be 682km wide.

Also, clearly, it is rocket thrust dispersing over a wide area. However to be more exact, there's no way of telling what it is; meaning it could be a fan (that magically keeps a piece of foil off the surface), or actual rocket thrust.

[krisdevalle]

@NASAvsPETE How come you never acknowledge the foil blasting laterally across the lunar surface for hundreds of metres? How was that 'faked'?

[Cowbananas]

@NASAvsPETE Yeah, and don't forget to make sure that hundreds of thousands of people( NASA employess, US Navy personel, Russian scientists, Grumman, Boeing et al, chemical companies, family members of all these people etc) can keep the secret for at least FORTY years...but they didn't count on you, did they, exposing it all!! You are a genius, sir!

[donkeyxotedelamanche]

New conspiracy theory ...

a bunch of people escaped from the insane asylum and think that ...

1- USA didn't land on the moon

2- FDR bombed Pearl Harbor

3- Bush bombed the WTC

4- Area 51 is hiding aliens

(notice how aliens can travel to different

planets but the US of A can't !!!!)

5- OJ didn't do it

[nar5038]

Maybe they got too much radiation on their heads from Black Helocopters at night when they were kids?

[predatortheme]

Dont forget,

6. planes cant actually fly. they are lifted by invisible cranes . xD

seriously(weirdos belive it)

[breeknow]

Oh wow.. I'd never seen one that long..

It must have been a sweet ride indeed!

[GiralSalaxy]

Hehe, not difficult to fake this kind of video :)

[ElvenDane]

Great one - thanks ;-)

You can even see the undercarriage of the

LEM left back down on the surface, as the LEM begins to tilt.

So what are the nutters going to say about this wonderfull lift off video ?

[TheCalifornian]

Conspiracy "theorists" (duh, doesnt even define thier activity) are typically nieve and have very low comprehension.

Moon Dehoax: Impossible Wires

Analysis of the evidence against the race to the moon: Apollo 14's wires theory debunked, some Apollo 16's accident with no wires attached and more.

watch?v=sehkUGbdr-U

[user17v]

fake!

[dopje31857]

Today, yes, probably it would be possible, but this was absolutely impossible at the time. It's also impossible to get a proper mathematical calculation based on an estimatee level of height.

The object (a thermal blanket) did not touchdown after 3 seconds, but after 5.5 seconds, after about 110 meters of flight.

[TheCalifornian]

Oh really? And what is the formula, Professor Moron.?

[dopje31857]

Very good video. Shows a thermal blanket (on the right) in flight toward a narrow miss of the ALSEP experiments. A smaller object on the left is headed in the direction of the LRRR. (all from the 16mm DAC film taken out the LMP's window 3.25 seconds after first ascent stage motion).

[LunarTuner]

Apollo doubters constantly ask for photos of Apollo hardware on the moon to prove that we went there. I believe that request is satisfied here at :17. But it they won't trust this, why would they trust any other photos of hardware on the surface?

[DriverlessSam]

What amazes me is that any attention is given to the people who claim "Hoax". Instead paraphrase W.C.Fields who is famous for saying "Go away kid, you bother me."

[LindaStevensBZ]

The Ultimate Moon Hoax Paradox!

The Moon Landings were so convincing that every smart person in the world has been fooled...for almost 40 years!!

Yet the landings were so poorly executed that any internet science retard can find "discrepancies" everywhere. LOL!

What a joke you Hoax Believers are. Why is that the stupidest and most gullible people actually think they are sooo smart and savy? LOL!

What a bunch of pathetic losers. Hoaxers = Retards. Sorry...but that is the truth. Get lives!

[Ravenflight104]

LindaSBZ: I'm a professional model maker and set designer, and have done much work over the years with Universal Studios and Disney.

When I view this video of the lunar landscape with Hadley Rill falling away, I can say with upmost certainty that no one on this planet is good enough do duplicate what your seeing.

Even at 1/2 scale,the set would need to be 700-800 ft square., with a vertical camera rise of 500 ft. No such building exists.

This video sequence can't be faked.

[ripvanstinkle]

you are cooler than you know.

[imnazhole]

You got to take another look, mister model guy. The planet never gets farther away but simply continuously scrolls over and over and over.

[Ravenflight104]

Imnazhole:

You really do believe that this video just repeats itself, don't you ?

Except maybe for Hadley Rille...or did I miss that in the first part being repeated as well ?

Your pre-determined conclusions are interfering with your judgement of what you're seeing. That's tabloid science.

[imnazhole]

Well, loperspest, you tell me why there is a hot spot behind the lander shadow, and if you do not understand the significance of that, I would only embark to waiste my efforts in explaining why a spotlight hot spot should not be seen on a lunar surface.

[imnazhole]

I guess Nixon's defrauding of the American tax payers out of 130,000,000,000 dollars (yes, many zeros) was adequate incentive for those few in the know to do their duty to fake out the Russians and their fancy rockets, but the Russians didn't foot the bill and get nothing in return.

We suffered taxation without representation and loved it, and still love it and die from lack of health care, recieving nothing for all of that tax money our govt. recieves yearly from us.

YOU SUCKERS!

[loperspest]

Oh yes, well, explain how it was done then. Othewise your just spouting so so much hot air. If you think you can get away with making this kind of magintude of a claim, without a little thing called evidense, your the sucker. Now, bring for your evidence, I want to see it. One can, with care give links. One can with care, respond with civility, and one can, with extra special care, use the 500 characters for a meaningful discourse. Show your proof.

[imnazhole]

I been looking for this vid for a while. How can a rocket in space abruptly change it's direction like this?? What about Newton's law of motion regarding objects in space maintaining their respective motion or static motion to not change unless an equal and opposite force acts upon them??

The rocket changes direction like a train on tracks, somebody put their foot in their mouth and "splain" THAT to me.

[thetrueprometheus]

imnazhole - You don't have a clue what you're talking about. If you have the LM engine running at full thrust for a Cynthion Injection, and you gimbal the pitch axis to 305 degerees as was done on the LM ascent, the thrust vector will change and the direction of the motion will change instantaneously. Rockets do not "change direction like a train on tracks" that is absurd...

[Rhubba]

This one is all about perspective; as the distances increase, the amount of perspective change appears less. So to you it doesn't look like it's gaining altitude when it is. Just look out of an aeroplane window when it's climbing. After a while you don't notice the altitude changes a great deal once you're well off the ground. And the LM is not just going straight up, it's going up and across as it's trying to achieve Lunar orbit and rendezvous with the CSM. It's all about the physics.

[detroitboy65]

When will freaks like you admit you are wrong?  I believe there is now medication to help you.

[detroitboy65]

The Moon shots are fake! I did them all with miniature R/C's and tiny robots in my sandbox. Finally, the truth!

[Apolloman01]

Anything ... What is on: It is your stupidity is real

[detroitboy65]

Who is stupid???

[Apolloman01]

look well and you will also find the truth as your question

[detroitboy65]

They never went to the Moon! They went to Mars and faked the Moon shots there! Plain as day! When will the lies stop?! ;-)

[tomkat1983]

Did you see the flag get blasted away !!

[ripvanstinkle]

LM's weren't easy to fly, the motion is probably caused by the astronaut fighting the forces working against the ship.

The halo is caused by reflected light from the LM.

The capsule only appears to stop gaining altitude while entering the moon's orbit.

Read a book and stop going to those worthless hoax websites, they will rot your brain. There are just as many websites out there that debunk everything the hoax websites say.

[1singlet]

outstanding.

[thirdclass2006]

Did you see the range the foil has when the ascent stage blasted off? That's low gravity for you!

Kudos for posting this video. Truly spectacular!

[schwinnielin]

this footage is spectacular. I can't help but be entertained at the idiocy of people thinking this is a hoax when I see footage like this.

[Rhubba]

Beautiful footage...I've never seen that clip before but it's amazing and spectacular as they ascend and you see Hadley Rille. It saddens me that people think it was all faked.

[mitercut]

Put simply, the camera sucked! AT 320 scan lines at 10 fps, transmitted at a meager 500 kHz. Tracking stations back on Earth would take this so-called slow-scan footage, convert it for TV broadcast, and beam it to Mission Control, which would send it out for the world to see. The hand helds are of much better quality for the time (as the clip above shows).

[TjubeScreamer]

The ultimative argument against conspiracy theorists is that it is so ridiculously easy to put a man on the moon. Any industrialised nation could easily do that, but it's a PROVEN FACT that only the crazy folks from the United States is deranged enough to spend so much money for such a stupid trip to nowhere.

[mitercut]

No you have it wrong. It's a very good use of money when compared to the billions we spend, and good American live's lost on protecting little no nothing backward piece of shit countries like your's!

[TjubeScreamer]

He he, just remember that stars and stribes planted on the moon dirt, is like paying 135 billion dollars to write "Killroy was here". It means nothing at all!!

[mitercut]

Do you have any idea how small 135 billion dollars is to the USA even in one year? Do you know how much the military pay's for a toilet seat on a B_52? Think about it.

[TjubeScreamer]

Exactly as I said: A moonlanding is nothing special. The price for the entire Apollo Program was an estimated 135 billion dollars in 2006 valuta, which means that Belgium can easily make a fine series of moonlandings using less than 3% of their GNP over a 12 year period ;-)

They could plant their flag and fool around in the dirt, and it would mean nothing at all!

[mitercut]

Awesome footage! Even today's CG's couldn't render a fake as good as this footage..being one of many (amateur) astronomer's, that know telescopic views of the Moon by heart, you just can't fake these close-up lunar views, but we still get a laugh out of the conspiracy theorist's continued display of double digit IQ's.

[TheIRLSUCKS]

Oh yeah no doubt it is fake. Again there is no doubt that you're a retard. Hey somyspam...the DNA in our systems...uh yeah that is fake too!

[volcompro111]

fake, huh? Yeah I'm going to believe you over 99.9% of scientists, not to mention all of the rocket scientists at NASA. C'mon any legit scientist or engineer knows we did in fact land at the moon. It would be impossible to prove it to you.

[somyspam]

no doubt it is a fake

[paleolitka]

my mistake

[paleolitka]

the shadows are downwards so the sun is ahead.the modul's shadow shouldn't apear

[rogerpenna]

yes, and the russian scientists never realized this... but you, a retard, was able to detect what hundreds of scientists and experts never noticed!
