THE APOLLO HOAX FAQ version 4.2 - April 2004
Written by Nathan Jones

Subject: (1) Forward and Intent

In recent years there have been many criticisms and
refutations made in various media of the Apollo record, the
so called proof of the Apollo space missions that allegedly
landed astronauts onto the surface of the Moon during the
period 1969 to 1972.

Prove that they didn't.

(3) What does it take to prove we went to the Moon?

You job is to prove that we didn't.

(4) The public are dumb, they'll buy into any idea.

Which is where you make your money. How refreshing you are so honest.

(5) No stars are visible in the images, where are they?

They could not leave Hollywood. Take a picture of a cave opening in
daylight. Why are objects not visible all the way down inside?

(6) The flag waves.

It is clear there is a stifener inserted in the flag at the top to hold it
"at attention".

(7) There's no dust on the lander footpads.

We had just landed, and there was no atmosphere to slow dust down that was
moved by the engine. You have again proven that the Moon missions were
conducted in vacuum.

(8) Why is no engine noise audible in the LM radio broadcasts?

What atmosphere was present to create the required turbulence?

(9) Where are the flames from the landers engines?

Flames of partially burned fuel, combusting in the ambient oxygen... oh
wait, you again have shown this all occured in vacuum.

(10) What about the shape of the exhaust and its effects?

Stuff blew straight out from underneath. Just like it all occured in a
vacuum.

(11) Was the Lunar Module (LM) tested on Earth?

Why? They didn't need nearly that much thrust, or nearly that rapid a
response as would be required with so much more gravity. They don't always
test airplanes on Earth either, until the real thing is available in its
intended environment.

(12) Where's the blast crater?

Where is the blast crater under a Harrier? Isn't one. And it takes off in
a much heavier gravity, requiring much more thrust.

(13) Dust kicked up by the Rover wheels acts strange.

Could be a vacuum, with a little static electricity, like has been
experienced on Mars.

(14) Radio telemetry proves man went to the Moon right?

It sure doesn't prove we didn't go.

(15) Laser ranging reflectors on the Moon are proof right?

It sure doesn't prove we didn't go.

(16) Why don't they point the HST at the landing sites?

It can no longer focus so close.

(17) The Russians had to be in on it right?

You are truly digging your own grave...

(18) What about Apollo 8, 9 and 10?

They flew around. They took measurements.

(19) The radiation hazards facing the missions.

Similar to visiting the dentist. A lot of people die from those X-rays,
don't they?

(20) The Lunar surface brightness misconception.

Why don't you correct your misconception, so you'd learn there are no
issues.

(21) Photographic anomalies, heiligenschein, shadows and perspective.

The grave is about 6 feet deep now.

(22) What still film was used?
(23) In a vacuum there is no heat?

No. Radiant heat transfer. Conduction heat transfer. You only lose
convection.

(24) The noon day temperature misconception.

The grave has its tombstone raised.... I can't quite read the name.

(25) How much insulation does it take to keep an astronaut warm?

Just enough to allow the heating/cooling system to transfer it. The Moon
is about as far from the Sun as the Earth is. So it should be a "simple"
job.

(26) Can the Moon rocks be faked?

Why? We've got rocks from Mars already.

(27) Is unmanned retrieval of Moon rocks possible?

Not with the technology of the 1960s. A nuclear weapon could have launched
a bunch that might have landed here...

(28) The Eagle landing site anomalies (new).

More misconception in your understanding of photography and rough terrain.
The name on the tombstone is getting clearer...

(29) Some sceptics websites.
