I've only recently come to this particular 'conspiracy', and I'm just enjoying being curious about it in a non-partisan way.
Has anyone seen
THIS series of articles? Incredibly detailed and very elegantly written. A fun read if nothing else.
I read them from the POV of almost total disbelief, but I have to admit by the end I was at least prepared to allow there seem to be a lot more holes in the Moon-landing story than I'd ever been aware.
Just a couple of the major points he raises that I'd like to see properly rebutted before I'm totally happy.
1. NASA has 'lost' all the original moon-walking footage, and all the telemetry data, and all the original voice-data from all the manned moon-missions. The blueprints for the SaturnV rockets, the Moon Buggy and the LEM have also vanished. Just a weird way to handle such historic data. Is this true? If so, why did they do this?
2. These guys in the 1960s traveled 250,000 miles away from the surface of the earth, a feat that has not only gone unmatched by anyone since, but hasn't even come close to being attempted. Ther furthest the shuttle travels from earth is 400miles. Why have we never repeated the landings, and why in 2005 did NASA say it would take at least 20 years, with modern technology, to replicate what they did back then in just 8 years, with 1960s technology? It should be easier, not harder. Why isn't it?
The guy raises a lot of other points that I haven't yet found a refutation for. I'm expecting to get answers in the end, because I do have a tough time believing it was all a scam, but I'm intrigued.
Anyone else read this stuff? Thoughts?
