APOLLO ON THE MOON
10 questions worth examining about the Apollo program:
1. The Van Allen belts
The radiation levels astronauts would have passed through are lethal with prolonged exposure. NASA's explanation of the transit speed has never been independently verified with full technical transparency.
2. The photography
Perfectly exposed, perfectly framed photographs taken by astronauts wearing bulky gloves, unable to look through a viewfinder, in extreme lighting conditions. Professional photographers find this implausible.
3. The original telemetry data
NASA admitted it lost the original high-quality footage and telemetry tapes. The most important technical records of humanity's greatest achievement — gone.
4. The lunar module
A vehicle built by the lowest bidder, tested minimally, that had to perform a perfect landing and launch from the moon's surface. No margin for error. Zero failures across six missions.
5. The flag movement
Flags appearing to wave in an environment with no atmosphere.
6. Stanley Kubrick
The timing of 2001: A Space Odyssey and certain statements attributed to Kubrick before his death raise uncomfortable questions.
7. The missing stars
No stars visible in any lunar photographs despite the moon having no atmosphere to obscure them.
8. The heat
Surface temperatures on the moon reach 127°C. The film and equipment used should have been compromised significantly.
9. Soviet silence
The USSR had every geopolitical reason to expose a hoax. They never did. Some read this as confirmation. Others find the silence itself suspicious.
10. "We" haven't been back
Fifty years of technological advancement and nobody has returned. If it was achievable in 1969, why not since?
These are questions. Draw your own conclusions.
