Moon Hoax Conspiracy Theorists are lying

A 3:10 min video & slideshow featuring scenes from What Happened on the Moon by David S. Percy and Kodachrome_Lunarcy (watch?v=8PMFAgowb-g) by YT user un4g1v3n1. Comparison with official NASA photographs indicates that both conspiracy theorists use heavily manipulated images to back-up their false claims and mislead viewers unfamiliar with NASA photography.

@kevinturvy >"Think the experts said a lot of these photos were taken using long exposure times."<

_________________

Absolutely wrong, where did you get that information from? The intense brightness of the Moons surface meant extremely short exposure times. That's why you don't see stars in any of the pictures. The aperture was only open for about .002 seconds and the aperture cover was painted silver. Your insistence that radiation would have destroyed the film is simply misguided.

I find it sad that some people are pathetic enough to embrace the nonsense that the moon landings were faked. WhiteJarrah is a liar.

[Whisper6911]

proof of faked photos is not proof of not going, and debunking 2 particularly weak arguments

doesn't exactly settle the discussion the other way either.

how about some common sense:

you take state of the art technology to a place where humans have never been during the hight of the cold war...

and you invite the world, including the russians to look over your shoulder?

remember NASA is partly controlled by the DOD.

it is entirely possibly that they went to the moon AND faked it.

[MrStrongarms]

you stupid butt knocker they proved the lighting is real on myth busters with actual experiments not just sitting there like you old fart with your finger up your nose and your other hand on your dick looking at pictures they went to the moon and you are a stupid @#$%

[friendofangie]

David Percy a liar? I suppose next you will tell me that the Pope is a Catholic.

[whoarethebrainpigs]

this guy is a total cunt..

[MrPoliticaltoons]

if these morons where so sure about what they say...they would not need to run all over youtube attacking users who comment on videos they dont like........

[AstroSock1]

@Prasulja You're right. The bad image can be found in NASA archives, but it's not as bad as Percy's. I know of only 3 pictures which show this "vignetting" effect, and they were all among the first releases after the astronauts returned, done in a hurry to hit the presses.

What hoax nuts seem to avoid are the thousands of pictures which do NOT show fall-off. And video. This is just a poor quality print.

[AstroSock1]

Now, Mr. Percy, let's see the other several thousand pictures. And hours of videos.

LOL...what a quack!

[granddad2002]

A lot of these 'researchers' couldn't make it in real science.

[Prasulja]

So you're saying that Percy himself deliberately manipulated this image just so he could bluff? Do your homework. This "manipulated" image is in fact available in NASA's database and secondly, this manipulated version IS in fact in many old history books while the original can hardly be found. In fact, "manipulated" edition was much more publicised than the original. Which makes me wonder? Why would such non-sense image, be much more suitable for history books compared to original?
