Panoramic Photos From The Apollo Missions

Posted by timothy on from the monty-have-you-heard-about-this-one dept.

Ant writes "This link lets you experience the moon just as the Apollo missions' astronauts did -- almost as you were there -- with QuickTime panorama views. Less known is that during all the missions they made image sequences which with todays computer technics can be stitched together into 360-degree interactive panoramas giving you the possibility to view the moon almost as you were there. Many of these panoramas have been published before, but in low resolution and displayed in small sizes. During the last year the original films have been rescanned in large resolution and the Apollo 11 images were released the week before the 35 year anniversary."

    I can't believe people are so gullible as to actually believe we went to the moon despite all the proof to the contrary. Google some things like "fake apollo missions", or "proof that we never wnet to the moon" or similar topics, and you'll see the proof.

    • How did the astronauts get thru the Van Allen radiation belt without being toasted? With the amount of radiation present in the belt, it matters not at what speed you're traveling.
    • One movie shows the astronauts blasting off from the moon on their way home and the camera, which was on the moon, tilted up to follow the space craft. Who was left behind so they could tilt the camera up to follow the space craft?
    • The engine that was used to slow the Lunar Module down, so it didn't crash into the moon surface, puts out thousands of pounds of thrust. Where is the crater under this engine on the moon's surface? The surface dust wasn't even disturbed.
    • Supposedly, the temperature on the moon's surface is -200 degrees in the shade and over 200 degrees in the light. This means, since there is no atmosphere, there is nothing to hold the heat onto the surface. So, when I am facing the light (sun), the front of my suit would be over 200 degrees and the back of my suit (shade) would be -200 degrees. My front would be toast and my back would be ice, instantly, since there is no atmosphere.
    • The surface of the moon is covered with dust. This dust was easily "kicked up", as shown by the astronauts. Why isn't there any dust settled on the space craft after the landing?
    The whole thing was a huge hoax created so that America, and it's ego, could say "we did it first". Your beloved "leaders" didn't want to be "second best" at anything.
    If you really believe that we went to the moon, I have some ocean-front property in Arizona I'd like to sell you... cheap.

    I remember watching a coyote on TV setting up a huge rubber band and then carrying a boulder twice his size and put it into that rubber band. Just because you see it on TV doesn't make it true.

    Moon missions... haha, how absurd.

      Well, the US government effectively brainwashed people like you (heh, obviously), and russia isn't any smarter. Why shouldn't they believe the same lies that you believe?
