Comment on Apollo Moon Landing Hoax – Why Fake a Moon Landing? by jfb.

@Ozzy Moron:

Sorry, no, that’s not how it works. NASA has made its claim (we sent people to the Moon), and has backed it up with physical evidence (samples, science data from instruments left on the Moon), documentary evidence (film, still photographs, video, audio, telemetry, reports, budgets, memoranda), and eyewitness evidence from the astronauts and engineers (logs, mission reports).

The burden of proof is now on the other side to provide evidence *for* their position that the landings were faked.

It’s not enough to say that the film and video footage was “obviously” shot on a sound stage in the desert; *you* have to provide evidence that such a sound stage existed in the first place *and* that all the published images were shot on that stage, preferably by showing images from “backstage” like lighting trusses, sound stage walls, wires, exterior shots of the stage, etc. Where was it? How did they simulate 1/6 gravity? How did they evacuate all the air from it to keep the dust from floating after it was kicked up? Who built the sound stage? Who worked there? Who paid them? How were they paid? Where did the money come from? Find me a paper trail for *that* and we can start talking seriously.

It’s not enough to say that the samples are “obviously” fake; *you* have to provide the evidence showing *where* and *how* those fake samples were created. Were they created synthetically in a lab? Were dug up somewhere on Earth? Who decided what properties the samples had to possess to pass for genuine? And again, who created them, how were they paid for their efforts, and where did that money come from? Again, if you can find a paper trail for that, THEN you have a real case against NASA.

It’s not enough to say that the photographs are “obviously” doctored. *You* have to find and show the original, undoctored versions, and compare them to the official images. *You* have to show *how* they were doctored.

It’s not enough to say that the science equipment was “obviously” placed by unmanned probes; *you* have to show evidence that those probes actually existed *and* that they carried the instrument packages supposedly left by the astronauts. When and where were those probes launched? Who built them? How were they paid? Where did the money come from? Again, find me a paper trail for those other probes.

It’s not enough to say that the radiation in the Van Allen belts or on the lunar surface would have “obviously” killed the astronauts. What type of radiation are you talking about? What are the amounts? Where did you get your measurements from? Are they accurate and current (at least for the time frame of the Apollo missions)? How did you calculate the lethal dosage?

That’s the kind of stuff you have to come up with to *credibly* challenge the authenticity of the Apollo missions.
