Earthrise, Earthset

An interesting fact: If you were to stand on the surface of the Moon where Earth was visible in the lunar sky it would continuously be in the exact same position in the sky at all times. It would never rise or set.

This is just extraordinary!

The title of the song?

Why is it so hard to believe that we landed on the moon, when astronomy has brought us so many more unbelievable discoveries that people never choose to pull apart like the stunning detail of photos from the Voyager probes, or the 10 billion year-old pictures of the farthest galaxies from Hubble, or the continued operation of the Mars rovers, or the landing of Huygens on Titan which has methane lakes, or even the current ambitious Kepler scope to find habitable planets. Hoaxers have no vision.

AGAIN
I think it has to do with the fact that all the craft you speak of are unmanned. I don't think most have problems with machines going into space. But when you bring people into the equation it opens up a whole nother can of worms. And before you say "what about the space station?" That is not in outer space but in earth orbit 185 miles up. Outer space is a much harsher place for man to be. Van allen belts solar flares extreme temps. hot/cold. Not as a group but manned moon landings only.

I agree with you. landing on the moon was one of the greatest human acheivments why do so many people believe that it was a hoax?

Ok, i retire what i said. I just tried to do an earthrise and earthset in celestia and they look pretty much like the vid
Its just that the earth moves so quickly... its a quite strange optical effect
Sorry, my bad =(

I think we landed, but it looks faked to me...
maybe the original one hadn't good quality and the japs released this for the press conference

when someone is stucked in his own mountain of problems..should see this clip.
