Title: Evidence Of NASA Airbrushing Lunar Base towers
Post by: Siege on July 20, 2009, 10:29:40 PM
This is awesome.

Problem is, that I can take a perfectly fine picture, airbrush a perfectly empty little space, and then claim that there was something there.

Can anyone here dig to the end of this, or independently confirm that these videos have been indeed relased by NASA with the airbrushed portions already in it?

QuoteThe residents of  Honeysuckle  Creek, Australia, actually saw a different broadcast to the rest of  the World. Just shortly before Armstrong stepped onto the Moons surface, a change could be seen where the picture goes from a stark black to a brighter  picture. Honeysuckle Creek stayed with the picture and although the voice  transmissions were broadcast from Goldstone, the actual film footage was  broadcast from Australia. As Una  watched Armstrong walking   on the surface of the  Moon she spotted a Coke bottle that was kicked in  the right hand side of the  picture. This was in the early hours of the morning  and she phoned her friends  to see if they had seen the same thing, unfortunately  they had missed it but  were going to watch the rebroadcast the next day.  Needless to say, the footage  had   been edited and the offending Coke bottle had been cut out of the film. But  several other viewers had seen the bottle and many articles appeared in The  West Australian newspaper.

First off, discount camera estimates. They're assuming the same atmospheric conditions as here on Earth. Ditto for the exhaust cloud; a lot of the exhaust plume's characteristics are determined by atmospheric conditions- I'd recommend double-checking that data with, say, a maker of skywriting equipment for planes.

As for the "coke bottle," considering size and resolution of TVs in 1969, I find it unlikely that any casual TV viewers could have positively IDed debris that small. At 480 scanlines for NTSC, 576 for PAL, considering Aldrin and Armstrong's heights, for one to be completely in the picture and shown kicking a bottle, it would have had to be only a couple pixels high- not nearly big enough to identify it.

As for whether it's touched up, NASA has admitted it has been, by the same crew that restored "Casablanca"; they actually erased the original tape: http://www.statesboroherald.com/news/article/18512/

Strictly speaking, they didn't re-use the "original tapes" (which were the slowscan-only video tapes, recorded in Australia); they re-used the backup copies made of the camera feed that was coming in from Australia (ie the ones that included the telemetry data) .  At that time, they thought they still had the slowscan-only tapes.  Those, however, have been misplaced in the vast storage bureaucracy, straight out of Indiana Jones.

Of course, strictly speaking, they didn't erase the tapes. Who would do such a stupid thing and ADMIT to it. The fact that they can't find them just happens to coincide with an accusation that they erased them.

Personally, I think someone leaving NASA cleaned out their vaults. I had heard another story/rumor in the past that the original blueprints for the Saturn rockets were "misplaced" as well.

Probably. My point was simply that there's almost no way the video footage being compared wasn't altered, and that the author was showing a blazing amount of ignorance for trying to claim that the touching-up of the video was a cover-up.

Correct.  They recorded over them.

QuoteWho would do such a stupid thing and ADMIT to it. The fact that they can't find them just happens to coincide with an accusation that they erased them.
The evidence indicates that they re-used the tapes, as they re-used many others. The people who translate this into "they erased them" are pretty much the people who believe it was all faked, despite all evidence to the contrary.

QuotePersonally, I think someone leaving NASA cleaned out their vaults. I had heard another story/rumor in the past that the original blueprints for the Saturn rockets were "misplaced" as well.
NASA had the tapes back from the archives in the mid-1970s.  Dunno why you would speculate on "someone leaving NASA cleaned out their vaults" - in fact, I don't even know what that means.  No one kept the complete blueprints for the Saturn V because no one paid the contractors to do it, and contractors don't do things for free.  Many/most of the blueprints are still separately available, but only because they were kept to teach/remember specific technical points.

Well, I wanted to avoid making you look bad by pointing out that, strictly speaking, the tapes were indeed erased because anytime that tapes are reused they are magnetically erased to remove all the old information so that it doesn't corrupt the new information. So, I went in a different direction instead.

I am sorry that you cannot understand what "cleaned out the vaults" meant. It's not a difficult phrase to understand. It simply meant that someone leaving NASA via retirement, lay-offs, or what not, may have decided to take home some souvenirs and helped themselves to stuff laying around. While that may seem farfetched it doesn't when you consider NASA thought so highly of the moon landing tapes that they erased them and reused the tapes for something else.

It's not like they landed on the moon during a solar flare.  It's not like space radiation is instantly lethal in small doses, even outside the Van Allen belts, especially with some shielding.  It's not like it would be possible to keep a hoax quiet, what with the thousands that would have had to have been in on it, during one of the leakiest governments in history.

Siegy the deaths had to do with the fact that the capsule had fundamental design flaws which caused a fire on luanch.  Those were fixed.  Do you think that putting men into earth orbit was faked too?

I am sorry that you cannot understand that "cleaning out the vaults" does not mean, in colloquial American English, someone taking home some souvenirs when they retire. It means that someone or an organization is openly getting rid of old stuff that they have treasured in the past but no longer do. If someone had, as you think possible, taken home some of those tapes, they would certainly have returned them when it was announced that NASA was seeking them. 

NASA didn't value these particular tapes as being of historical value because they were the backup tapes and NASA thought the primary tapes existed.  Stupid not to have checked, of course, but big organizations tend to be stupid, especially when under budget constraints.

Have you ever looked at the shielding of the Apollo ships? It was way less than in the current space shuttles, and they can't pass the 350 miles high mark because of the lack of shielding.
The Apollo shielding was designed for a ship passing rather quickly through the Van Allen belt (not "the Earth's magnetic field," as you alleged).  It is trivial to demonstrate that the dosage of radiation absorbed by the astronauts was well within safety parameters.  The shuttle cannot orbit that high because it would be staying in the field long enough to build up exposure.  Surely even you could figure that out.

Weak.

Arab celebrities go under the knife (or laser) for plastic surgery to look whitey. They do this because they are a bunch of racists, and when/if they become semi-liberal (even their liberals still hate jews), they see western people and assume they are as racist as arabs are, so now they want to be whitey, to be superior, otherwise they cannot get rid of their complex of inferiority when in front of western people.

The mere precense of a westerner makes then feel discriminated.

So, they do a Jacko.

Doesn't that kind of stuff happen all the time?  Alot of the original documents pertaining to the Jack the Ripper case 'vanished' from Scotland Yard, and IIRC at least some of them have since been returned by descendants of people who worked on the case.
Yeah.  The BBC has almost none of its stuff from before the 60s because they re-used tapes.

Yeah, but Britain had some hard times for a while, until Thatcher lifted them out of the mud.  Labour was leading them back to barbarism.
