I just finished watching the video "What happened on the Moon" on
Google videos which seriously challenges whether the moon landing(s) really occurred. I found the evidence very convincing. Yet I was rather disappointed that one major piece of evidence was completely missing altogether. This piece of evidence which I would like to explain below is the most damning piece of evidence that virtually any engineer or scientist can ascertain themselves if they are acquainted with optics, calculations of orbits and a good background in math. So if you've never come across this before, here it is... Several years ago, the National Geographic magazine published an article showing how a complex mathematical technique was used to scientifically verify that Robert Peary really did reach the North pole. See http://www.pearyhenson.org/dougdavie...ionreport2.htm While the article could not verify that he was the 1st to reach the pole, it did layout the evidence that he really was where he claimed he was. The technique, as you probably know, is called photogrammetric rectification. The Navigation Foundation based in Rockville, Maryland carried out the calculations and was able to verify mathematically that Peary really was on a certain latitude close to the North Pole. Some of the parameters required to do this a * A photograph showing an object with more than one shadow * The known (or assumed) time of year and time of day when the photograph was taken * The focal point of the camera lens * Probably a few other parameters (but I'm not a mathematician - read the NG article for more info) By using photogrammetric rectification and having all of these parameters available, it was demonstrated that Peary really was close to the North Pole. The technique can only determine latitude and not longitude. So what if we use the exact same technique and determine at what lunar latitude the astronauts were on when they landed and the photographs were taken. If they really were on the moon when they said they were, we would have the following information: * the exact latitude where they were relative to the moon's north pole * the position of the sun at the time * the time of year and time of day * the focal point of the camera is known * plenty of photos with shadows By applying photogrammetric rectification, you can verify whether the astronauts really were on the correct latitude (where the Sea of Tranquility is located) or any of the other locations they said they were on subsequent landings. In fact, using photogrammetric rectification with a few other parameters that are also available, it is even possible to calculate the longitude. I submit this challenge to the scientific community. I urge anyone who is capable of carrying out this challenge to do so as soon as possible. If the results indicate that the moon landing was a hoax, the three old astronauts (Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins) may still be alive to answer to these results. For those of you with the ability and courage to carry this out and have your results published in a reputable scientific publication, we salute you as one of the greatest scientists/thinkers of our time. I say, Go For It! Elijah Rosenburg |
