I have been looking at various movies suggesting that the manned Moon landings were fake.
In this age of movie magic one realizes that our senses can be fooled to perceive a non existent reality.
In respect of the Moon landing hoax stuff I suspect that one could be convinced either way so who can you trust.
Given that it is a rainy day and maybe you have little better to do if not at work or studying would you care to offer an opinion as to the landing being fact or fiction?
I have tried to find a crack in NASA's story and the only thing I find very curious is the time the various radio transmissions take to be acknowledged. Much faster than the one second plus one would expect given the distance involved.
My science may be incomplete but I thought that a radio transmission took place at C or approximately 300,000 kms per second so given that the closest the Moon gets to Earth is 363,104 km (225,622 miles), and at its furthest point, it’s 405,696 km (252,088 miles) that any transmission should have a lag of at least one second...much like the lag we have with TV interviews with folk at either end of our planet.
When one listens to the radio transmissions between the astronauts on or near the Moon lander it appears that conversations take place where there is no delay of one second (or more) and the parties seem to converse in a real time speed.
There must be a good reason why this is so but it is one of those things that makes one wonder.
It is unthinkable that the leading scientific organization in the world could be a party to the hoax suggested in some of the movies out there.
It is unthinkable that so many people could keep a secret such as a fake Moon landing to themselves however there is no "inside" leaks.
So what do you think?
