I am a senior school physics teacher and part time photographer in England. I don't profess to know the answers. I am merely asking questions.[/FONT] [FONT=Comic Sans MS,arial,helvetica]Consider this question...[/FONT] [FONT=Comic Sans MS,arial,helvetica]Have you ever seen a rocket take off, land vertically and then take off again?[/FONT] [FONT=Comic Sans MS,arial,helvetica]It was attempted once. In 1996 the Delta rocket DC-X toppled over on landing and exploded. NASA is still trying to find a team of engineers that can get a rocket to land vertically. Strange really, they managed to do this on the Moon twenty-seven years earlier.[/FONT] [FONT=Comic Sans MS,arial,helvetica]If a rocket did manage to land and take off vertically, it would have blown huge amounts of dust and debris in all directions. However, when the Apollo 11 landed, Neil Armstrong famously left his footprint in undisturbed dust.[/FONT] [FONT=Comic Sans MS,arial,helvetica]Do you still think the Americans went to the Moon? Take a close look at these photos.[/FONT]   <img src="http://www.empusa.co.uk/lunar/lunar1.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> [FONT=Comic Sans MS,arial,helvetica]The 'sunlight' in this photograph is clearly coming from the right and flaring into the lens. How come there are shadows on the roof of the exit and why is Buzz Aldrin so well lit?[/FONT]   <img src="http://www.empusa.co.uk/lunar/lunar2.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> [FONT=Comic Sans MS,arial,helvetica]The 'sunlight' here is coming from low down on the right. What's lighting Buzz Aldrin's back-pack? He should be in shadow, like the ground. On TV he bounced down the ladder with both feet together.[/FONT]   <img src="http://www.empusa.co.uk/lunar/lunar3.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> [FONT=Comic Sans MS,arial,helvetica]Very odd this one... The shadows are going in different directions. Sunlight generates parallel shadows. If you draw a line through each of the shadows and find the position where they meet, this will give you the position of the light source. Could this be a studio light about 30 feet away? The reflected light in the helmet is not that of the Sun, nor is it the surface of the Moon. The Sun would generate a very small point of light in the helmet.[/FONT] [FONT=Comic Sans MS,arial,helvetica]Note the Lunar Module on the left. Can you see any disturbed dust around it? There should be a large 'star burst' pattern or even a crater generated by the blast of the rocket engine.[/FONT]   <img src="http://www.empusa.co.uk/lunar/lunar4.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> [FONT=Comic Sans MS,arial,helvetica]Why is the horizon darker than the foreground? Sunlight doesn't generate hot spots, but studio lights do. The rock in the background (top left) appears to be lit from the side. If the light is coming from behind, the rock should have more shadow area on it.[/FONT] [FONT=Comic Sans MS,arial,helvetica]NASA claim that the camera used on the Moon was designed to be used at waist height. If this photograph was taken at waist height, the horizon would have been lower down. The horizon in this photograph is at eye level, therefore the camera must have been at eye level. [/FONT]    <img src="http://www.empusa.co.uk/lunar/lunar5.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> [FONT=Comic Sans MS,arial,helvetica]No sign of any blast damage on the surface of the Moon. If we assume that the mass of the module is in the region of 5,000kg, a force of over 10,000 newtons would be required to slow the module and act against the Moon's gravity. This amount of force would not leave the surface undisturbed. On Earth, we have not been able to land a rocket vertically. The rocket has a tendency to slide horizonally. If the rocket is even a few degrees off horizonal or the surface is uneven, the force of the engine will cause the rocket to tip over as it nears the surface. Try it yourself with a water rocket... Its easy to make the rocket take off, but try landing it. Whilst the physics is slightly different in a vacuum, the force of the engine would have been reflected by the surface as the module landed, this would have made the landing very complicated. The British Hawker Harrier fighter jet can achieve vertical landings, but it requires four jet outputs for stability. How come every lunar blast-off was perfect? How many engineers did they have up there?[/FONT]  <img src="http://www.empusa.co.uk/lunar/lunar6.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> [FONT=Comic Sans MS,arial,helvetica]The dust being thrown up by the Apollo 16 Lunar Rover is forming clouds. Dust clouds can only form in an atmosphere. In a vacuum, the dust should be thrown back in a arc. If this much dust was moved by the wheels of vehicle, how come the blast of a rocket appears to have moved no dust at all.[/FONT]   [FONT=Comic Sans MS,arial,helvetica]Kodak say that normal Ektachrome slide film was used. What happens to slide film if you try to use it below minus 20 degrees Celsius? It shatters!  Radiation and UV doesn't do it a lot of good either![/FONT] [FONT=Comic Sans MS,arial,helvetica]Transparency film has to be exposed very accurately, an error of one stop will produce an unusable photograph. The cameras that were taken to the Moon had no light meters or automatic exposure system. NASA provided the astonauts with an 'exposure guide'. How could they know what the exposure should be when nobody had ever been there before?[/FONT]   [FONT=Comic Sans MS,arial,helvetica]p.s. nasa.gov and senate.gov have been looking at this page.[/FONT] [FONT=Comic Sans MS,arial,helvetica]I know, I've got a site log![/FONT] [FONT=Comic Sans MS,arial,helvetica]You may be watching me, I'm watching you too![/FONT]  [FONT=Comic Sans MS,arial,helvetica]There's only one way that NASA can clear this up... Send a probe to the Moon and take some pictures of the landing sites. Come on NASA, you know you want to![/FONT] </blockquote>
