photos can be faked, as well as video, you know that.
i'm already convinced, and it has nothing to do with pictures, video, and laser range findersLets be honest for a moment though - what WOULD convince you we had actually been there, hm?
no, not now.Would NASA have to fly you there personally?
irrelevant.Here's another one - prove to me that this "reality" is, in fact, real, and that I'm not actually plugged into some machine somewhere and being used as a battery for some super advanced race of mechanical beings ala The Matrix.
Okay, so what convinced you then?i'm already convinced, and it has nothing to do with pictures, video, and laser range finders
I think it's wholly relevant - conspiracy theorists want absolute proof... problem is, there is no such thing as absolute proof. Even seeing it with your own eyes isn't absolute proof, because the human senses are fallible.irrelevant.
you first, simply because i don't believe you when you say "i'm convinced".Okay, so what convinced you then?
who said i was a conspiracy theorist?I think it's wholly relevant - conspiracy theorists want absolute proof...
you first, simply because i don't believe you when you say "i'm convinced".
i'm interested in what you would call "good evidence".
I dunno. If you aren't though, I'm curious why this conversation started a few posts ago lol. if I misunderstood you, then I do apologize.who said i was a conspiracy theorist?
the answer is so simple i'm surprised threads like this exist, and that is prove the capabilities of the saturn 5
once that's done, the question is answered.
the thrust, weight, and orbit of the vehicle are known quantities that anyone can verify.
burn times, course corrections are all known.
i found a nice qbasic program that models all of this and yes, the rocket was capable.
i think that pretty well proves it, don't you?
i don't think that's the case here.No, not really.....we could all just be misinformed and mislead by the powers that be.
this isn't philosophy 101And no, there is no proof of anything, but there is plenty of opinions based on the concept of "beyond a reasonable doubt" [cynic mode on:]
you DO realize none of the landing sites can be viewed by earth based telescopes, right?All those reasons, place the chances of any attempted conspiracy of faked Moon landings as being utterly Impossible.
i don't think that's the case here.
for example there was only two "standard" orbit ALL apollos flew.
the free return and non free return.
the weight of the rocket was known by ALL that built it.
the thrust of the engines have been verified in test stands and published.
all of the above are known quantities, and by a great many people.
the trick is to digest it and structure it so a layman can understand it, and that is what the creators of this program has done.
you DO realize none of the landing sites can be viewed by earth based telescopes, right?
really?No, the weight, and all other capabilities were only known by the inner sanctum and NASA....
only if you are a guppy.But of course we outside of that inner sanctum and NASA, have no reasons at all to doubt any of those claims or what was published...
and like i said, photos can be faked.You do realize that we have had lunar orbital probes that can do such things quite easily, don't you?
really?
the firm that constructed the tanks didn't know how much they weighed?
the people that filled them didn't know how much they held or how much a gallon of RP-1 weighed?
the firm that constructed the mating rings didn't know how much they weighed?
get out much?
only if you are a guppy.
hey, get mikey, he'll believe anything you tell 'im.
and like i said, photos can be faked.
This banning was nothing but the abuse of power on the part of a moderator who is not competent at defending his opinions.

I doubt that. The problem is of course, [no matter how much and how violently you disagree] is that you are proposing some astronomically difficult government cover-up, involving thousands, in a supposed conspiracy for whatever reasons, political, self gullibility or whatever, based on a few strands of circumstantial crap, as against an overwhelmingly supported and evidenced back reality.
Find a post where I have discussed anything other than the physics of the problem.
It is not my fault that some people think the government to be more important than physics.
Provide a quote by me where I talked about any conspiracy.
OK, I accept all of what you say....
Just a simple question for you.....
Do you believe that 9/11 was a terrorist atrocity committed by terrorists with the hijacking of four planes, two of which crashed into the WTC towers, one in a field, and the other into the Pentagon?
Or if that is too difficult to answer...
Do you believe that 9/11 was a government cover-up and conspiracy?
No ifs or buts, or hows or why's', just a couple of questions, that's all.
So why not answer my questions?
Did you ban me and come up with supposedly "rational" excuses for doing it?
I don't give a damn about terrorism or the government.
I am talking about whether or not an airliner impact against a skyscraper can do enough structural damage with high speed impact and explosion, starting a fire and cause the top to fall straight down and destroy everything below in less than 30 seconds.
The physics of that must be explained. Are you saying Allah made it possible?
How could the 1/200th scale model of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge be built in 4 months in 1940 and yet a collapse model hasn't been built in TWELVE YEARS to demonstrate what supposedly happened on 9/11?
Physics is not about BELIEVING! Do the experiments.
