I take issue with that website.

1) He keeps rambling on about a single light source. I find it hard to believe that in all the items Nasa hauled to the moon there were no lights.

2) He also talks about no visible stars. Let me talk to you about exposures. The sun reflecting off the moon is really, really bright. In order to photograph that without getting an image with blown out highlights, basically a big blob of white, you would need to use a really, really fast shutter speed. At that fast shutter speed, only the very brightest stars would appear. Hence the lack of visible stars. Learn photography if you are going to base a conspiracy theory on photographs.

3) The 'odd structure' seen in an astronaut's helmet reflection and in the corner of several images . . . well, I wonder if this man knows about a device the astronauts had called a 'lunar lander'

4) The lunar lander landing would create a crater with its thrust . . . . no. For example, look at the Harrier Jump jet, which can land on dirt without creating a huge crater . . . and weighs as much at least, probably more than the lander, and is operating on Earth where acceleration due to gravity is many times that on the moon. No crater.

5) What does the guy mean that the only way the rover would create sharp tracks would be if the surface was wet? Has he never seen a clear footprint left in a dusty baseball diamond?

6) The 400k people being in on it is rather improbably, like on the order of 1:somethingmuchlargerthanbillions

7) The radiation belts . . . sure, it sounds plausible, but have those belts been proven to exist or are they a theory? Do the really create the large amount of radiation that is claimed, and is the radiation very harmful? I doubt it.

8) If all the rest was faked, I would like to ask how NASA would fake a low gravity environment, as we see footage of golfballs going 'weeeeeeeeeeeeeee' and people hoping huge . . . . May I remind you of the Bond movie Goldfinger? If you recall, when Bond finally kills the bad guy, in this case by shooting a window out of a plane at high altitude, Goldfinger does this 'zero-g' floaty float down the cabin to the window and is then sucked out. The floaty float was one of the least convincing, most laughable special effects I have ever seen. Zero and low-g is really hard to fake, and as another example I will use the movie Contact, more recent, but again, as soon as we see a character is space (Hadden) and he goes 'floaty-float' I burst out laughing. "They" could fake the rest, but not the low gravity.



Where do they get these people?
