[QUOTE="waroftheworlds, post: 22265, member: 471"] [b]Re: NASA Moon Landing hoax[/b] Okay, I'm an aviation enthusiast and thought I would post my little bit :) Someone was saying about the unstabability of the lunar lander when tested on Earth. It is true that there was a mockup built, to train astronauts in landing the LM (Lunar Module). This trainer required special systems that replicaed, to a degree, flying in a vacuum. If the pilot navigated forward the flyer would keep going forward until force in the opposite direction was applied, just like in the vacuum of space (no air resistance to slow the spacecraft down) and so on. The LM itself was NEVER BUILT TO FLY ON EARTH. It was built to fly in the vacuum of space where air resistance and wind that would normally affect an aircraft does not exist- therefore if a LM was fired up on earth it would crash! Thats why special systems had to be developed for the trainer. BUT, the LM's behavior on earth does NOT reflect it's handling abilities in space. Second thing- the radiation around the earth, or the Van Allen belts. There were experiments to destroy these radiation belts in the early 1960's I believe but the US military in their infinite wisdom (teehee!) made the belts more radioactive. Although NASA did a lot of research into protecting astronauts from these belts, such as shielding for the ship and astronauts, it is my understanding that they are not that much of a problem. I believe that only a couple of hours at the most, that is to say 1-2 hours, were spent in the Van Allen Belts, which is a negligable amount. It would not produce ill effects. Next point, with regards to the camera. Admittedly, it was mounted on the front of the spacesuit and this made taking shots harder. The astronauts were extensively trained in space suit handling, not to mention taking photos. I'm sure you'll find that many photos were discarded due to poor focus ect.
