NASA Releases Thousands of Hours of Apollo 11 Mission Audio (thehill.com)
NASA and the University of Texas have teamed up to digitize 19,000 hours of recordings from the Apollo 11 mission that landed the first two people on the moon. From a report: The audio was uploaded to the Internet Archive, a nonprofit website that hosts digitized versions of cultural artifacts. "One of the things that comes across is that each of the people working for NASA is proud of what they do. They were always working collaboratively," John Hansen, a speech researcher at the university and principal investigator for the project, told NBC News.
The need to keep the hoax alive.
I AM Kidding of course.
I would love to take a look at the color images.
If something is so important that you feel the need to post it on the internet... It probably isn't that important.
Now that we have pictures of moon buggy tracks and the gear left behind on the moon...
...as well as things like this newly-released thousands-of-hours of audio, do any of the moon hoaxers start to lose their resolve?

Or to them, is it still just part of a huge ongoing conspiracy involving thousands of men and women that continues to live on nearly 50 years later?
I have no idea how this works. If I look at the Official Apollo 11 timeline (https://history.nasa.gov/SP-4029/Apollo_11i_Timeline.htm), the countdown started on July 14th and splashdown was on July 24th. I can be generous and say that the mission took 11 days (264 hours). According to TFA, there were 30 tracks of data (which yields 7,920 hours of audio). This is only 1/3 of the total - where does the 19k hours come in?
Secondly, how do you know which tape to look for what? For example, I'd love to hear the rendezvous of the conversation of the CM and the ascent module during docking after launching from the moon but I have no idea where to look in terms of time/track.
I did do a search, but couldn't find any information on this or a key to understand the tapes. Anybody have any ideas?

for the next 2 years straight.
... but how about finding the original tapes?
How the fuck do you LOSE one of the most important events in (modern) human history ???
The Apollo 11 mission lasted about 8 days and 4 hours. Assuming the 30 tracks of audio mentioned in TFA were recorded continuously throughout the mission, that's still only about 5,880 hours of audio. I wonder where the rest of it is coming from. Phone calls? Candid discussions? Pre- and post-launch communications? That's a lot of extra audio.
If it weren't for deadlines, nothing would be late.
It amazes me that so many allegedly "educated" people have fallen so quickly and so hard for a fraudulent fabrication of such laughable proportions. The very idea that a gigantic ball of rock happens to orbit our planet, showing itself in neat, four-week cycles -- with the same side facing us all the time -- is ludicrous. Furthermore, it is an insult to common sense and a damnable affront to intellectual honesty and integrity. That people actually believe it is evidence that the liberals have wrested the last vestiges of control of our public school system from decent, God-fearing Americans (as if any further evidence was needed! Daddy's Roommate? God Almighty!)
Documentaries such as Enemy of the State have accurately portrayed the elaborate, byzantine network of surveillance satellites that the liberals have sent into space to spy on law-abiding Americans. Equipped with technology developed by Handgun Control, Inc., these satellites have the ability to detect firearms from hundreds of kilometers up. That's right, neighbors .. the next time you're out in the backyard exercising your Second Amendment rights, the liberals will see it! These satellites are sensitive enough to tell the difference between a Colt .45 and a .38 Special! And when they detect you with a firearm, their computers cross-reference the address to figure out your name, and then an enormous database housed at Berkeley is updated with information about you.
Of course, this all works fine during the day, but what about at night? Even the liberals can't control the rotation of the Earth to prevent nightfall from setting in (only Joshua was able to ask for that particular favor!) That's where the "moon" comes in. Powered by nuclear reactors, the "moon" is nothing more than an enormous balloon, emitting trillions of candlepower of gun-revealing light. Piloted by key members of the liberal community, the "moon" is strategically moved across the country, pointing out those who dare to make use of their God-given rights at night!
Yes, I know this probably sounds paranoid and preposterous, but consider this. Despite what the revisionist historians tell you, there is no mention of the "moon" anywhere in literature or historical documents -- anywhere -- before 1950. That is when it was initially launched. When President Josef Kennedy, at the State of the Union address, proclaimed "We choose to go to the moon", he may as well have said "We choose to go to the weather balloon." The subsequent faking of a "moon" landing on national TV was the first step in a long history of the erosion of our constitutional rights by leftists in this country. No longer can we hide from our government when the sun goes down.
24 hours a day times 10 days is 240 hours...
Even if you record all three astronauts reparately you get 720 hours...

I want to hear the Apollo 18 tapes.
Have gnu, will travel.
Try here:
https://www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/
and here:
https://history.nasa.gov/afj/
where they have listened extensively to many of the tapes, and transcribed and added explanations. If you want to know what was going on live, that is the place to start.
Negotiating the rights with the Kubrick estate was a giant legal mess... (j/k)
Try spelling Neil Armstrong backwards!
The critical two minutes of recording are already published here on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
Really? I would never have thought that. I always thought NASA was a backstabbing lying organisation where each and every employee was out to get the other one and where nothing ever went right because everyone was only doing their own thing.
Huh. Guess I was wrong.

Again, easily provable by taking off in an airplane, while wearing a wristwatch and using your throttle to keep your groundspeed at 500mph, regardless of headwinds / tailwinds.
and their crack-pot theory probably goes something along the lines that it's hard to follow a straight line un-aided, and all the guidance systems (such as GPS are a vast conspiracy of collaborating agencies).
The instruments of the plane, and your wristwatch are probably similarly affected by a micro-conspiracy of nano-midgets hidden inside them, or something.
(I just can't imagine WHAT conspiracy is also haunting your sextant to make star navigation also similarly impossible.
Is it haunted by the ghosts of the former conspirator how burned down Rome ? Antikythera proves it ?)
