@hunchbacked call me deluded. I choose facts over anomalies every time !

[atomita2000]

that's real program "hard coding" (2:25)

[hunchbacked]

The so-called "core rope memory" didn't have 72K memory, it had 0K memory!

@hunchbacked Facts.

assembly and launch.

Surveyor 3 took over 6,000 pictures while on the Moon.

The video and pictures of the Apollo 12 crew cutting it off and bagging it up.

lab analysis pictures at JPL.

the obvious physical damage from UV exposure on the plastic case and the Nylon wire ties on the wiring harness in plain sight at the NASM, also the portions of the case cut off for analysis.

then there's that pesky "serial number" fact.

this camera serial number ends in #3

proof enough.

@1MtnBoy

And what tells you that this camera was on the moon?

[hunchbacked]

If you really think they went to the moon with that, you have got a serious delusion!

[1MtnBoy]

@hunchbacked let's not talk anomalies let's talk about facts for a change, how about that Surveyor-3 camera ?

[1MtnBoy]

@hunchbacked even if EVERYTHING about Apollo-11 was suspect. you still did not answer the question regarding Apollo 12.

how was the Surveyor-3 camera returned to Earth ?

[1MtnBoy]

@hunchbacked I never said ignored. I said be objective.

let's be realistic. Even if hoaxers had 1,000 anomalies to list, the supporting evidence is in the order of 900,000 individual items ( and I am being generous ) that is still 900 to 1 in favor of Apollo !

As I mentioned earlier we could take each item you have 1 by 1 and I will debunk some of the classics for you if you like ? but if you do not wish to be sincerely objective, and maintain preconceptions ? there's no point wasting time.

@1MtnBoy

I am not talking about some anomalies, I am talking about an incredible heap of anomalies, and in all domains: Photos, videos, mechanics of the flight, electronics, computer, control...

That makes really a lot, too much to be ignored.

@hunchbacked LoL, you really need to drop that "anomaly" line. You seem to like to use it as a catch all for anything you suspect that is not immediately explained. There are "anomalies" everyday in ordinary life, you don't need to go around adding more into an already complex subject simply to fuel doubt about something simple but just not completely understood yet. If you truly examine the evidence for & against the Apollo landings you must admit the facts far outweigh the anomalies 100 to1 ez
