Neil Armstrong interview, BBC 1970.

Neil Armstrong interview, BBC 1970.

He claims:
-The sky is deep black,
-The earth is the only visble object in the sky, other than the sun.

Armstrong is either instructed to lie...or he has never been on the moon!

I'm looking at all the highest resolution pictures I find in google images and I'm not seeing the razor straight lines you're referring to. Is there any way you can direct me to the images you're talking about? As to your question: we have both agreed that distances are difficult to judge without visual references, it follows that differences in detail are attributable to increasing distances and surface features. I don't see any abrupt changes in detail that don't coincide with topography.

I agree that it would be difficult to perceive perspective on the moon. Looking once more at the photos (Apollo 17) I see that in a number of them these lines are razor-sharp, and as straight as a ruler, some running the entire length of the image. I very much doubt that topographical variations could account for such an effect. Nevertheless, what is your view regarding the abrupt changes in ground detail (again separated by a fine line) from boulder strewn to very smooth, often quite nearby?

[Matt Givens]

This is consistent with Apollo photographs taken from higher elevations that show much less of these "lines" because the viewing angle is steeper. From higher up it's harder to see subtle changes in elevation.

[Matt Givens]

Looking through the photos carefully, I think I see what you are referring to. It looks like an artifact of perspective to me. There are no objects present on the moon for reference as there are on Earth (plants, trees, etc). The brain cannot distinguish distances and sizes without a comparison to familiar objects. The hills and mountains are much farther from the camera than they look and those lines are the result of topographical variations (the land is uneven before the mountains).

Dude, just shut the fuck up.

Matt, as an Apollo believer, I would like to hear your comment/response concerning the inexplicable straight lines running along the base of lunar mountains/hills and the same straight lines abruptly separating highly detailed areas of the lunar surface with completely smooth areas. These dark, straight 'lines' are evident in virually every lunar photograph, but especially so in Apollo 16 and 17. The lunar landscape should continue unbroken into the mountains, not be seperated by such lines.

Still defending them eh? What an absolute disgusting loser you are! Even if the academics piss on you one day, you will think it is rain and you will go get an umbrella. I never accept anything out of arrogance. I accept things because there is evidence to back it up. Modern astrophysical theory is absolute bullshit, because they have no evidence to back themselves up and many contradictions. Plasma Cosmology has the evidence, and it has been majorly suppressed. So, goodbye. Yes! Get lost!

[MrShaziman]

Never under rate your own power to analyse. A rigorous education in physics? How rigorous does it have to be? Maybe, things are much simpler than we think. Plasma and electricity rule the Cosmos. The new paradigm is in. The old gravitational paradigm is on it's way out. And yes! I hope you follow your own advice and never stop questioning. I never will and I never will give my power away to others. Goodbye, Mr Givens.

COMBO BREAKER!!!!

[MrShaziman]

This is Science! Not conspiracy! How is it in a deep black sky, 7% albedo surface, just like coal, nothing else can be seen but the earth and the sun? No Venus? No Sirius? NOT JUST ONE (JUST ONE! ONLY JUST ONE!) STAR SEEN? What a lie to the world! Mr Armstrong! NO wonder you look so miserable . No wonder you have no enthusiasm whatsoever, no wonder you are so dry, no wonder it pains me to look at your interview! Why? It is all a lie. You, Mr Armstrong lied to the world. U were never on de moon.
