Ok, outside is a bit more likely, but still far feched. That would bring up alot more isssues than a sound stage.
And the flag could have been waving in a solar wind thus meaning it WAS on the moon when that happened. The reason for no stars in the background is that the cameras werent that good. They were washed out by the glare off the moon. In fact the streaming video that many people use for their home computers are just a bit better than those used on the moon. The one that captured the 'first step' was a remote camera deployed out of the side of the lander. Thats how alot of them were taken in fact. Thus the camera did come before Neil came out. No hard trick there.
Also I saw it was stated that if you speed the film up it look like they are walking at normal speed for the earth. MAybe, but what about the fact that they were hopping 2 feet off the ground? Was that just mirrors and wires? It makes too little sence.
I've heard of the movie your talking about, but what is the name of the one that came out in the mid '70s about this issue? It was the one that planted a seed of doubt that has now sprouted into this whole mess.
Queeg, I work for a low budget film co. here in the states ,but not in LA or NY. Who do you work for (generaly)? I've had the pleasure of working on 4 features and some of those may be available in Europe. But you wouldnt want to see them (bad acting in all). 😂
I think that solar wind idea is far fetched.,
However, you DON'T see starts on camera, this is true. Not cameras off Earth, anyway In fact, it is very difficult to see stars at ALL, camera or no camera, while you are outside an atmosphere. They simply don't show.
That remote camera thing is very true; was there doubt on that?
SOME shots were still faked though...

This is only true when there is a large celestrial body emiting so much light that the ambient illumination drowns out the stars.
From the dark side of the moon, the view of the galaxy is amazing.
nice subject, wish i would have seen it earlier.
think about it like this. its the cold war and the two super powers are u.s. and russia.
they beat us to space but we beat them in the power of special effects. the moon landing was an egotistical cinimatic attempt to secure our dominance over the world(which is groing more annoying everyday). and for whoever read what i wrote in the 4 of july talk im not contridicting myself... what i love about this country lies in its history not its present. i love the thought that our founding fathers said that men SHOULD be part of a militia. "A GOVERMENT THAT FEARS THE PEOPLE IS FOR THE PEOPLE." ben franklin. any way i dont believe that we landed on the moon.
all the things posted previosly that disprove the landing, dont feel like repeating all of them but the flag waving or not-seems like it should have no motion at all. and one i didnt see is that scientist projected a large amount of moon dust that would have collected over the mass amount of years that didnt scatter when the spacecraft landed. also just on of my hunches is that california and surrounding states have plenty of desert that would make a wonderfull moon with the right setup.and we all know whats in cali...HOLLYWOOD. i could be wrong and it wouldnt be a first but thats just my humble opinion.
OK, we agree for once. Not as strange as me and Ush, but still...
Like I said, I think we went, but if I could see some indisputible evidance I'll go with it. I've never set my belief in stone on any thing.
It would have to be alot more than a waving flag, it would have to be a cut scene showing a sound man holding a boom mike without a space suit or something of the like.
Yep, Ive seen the rocket type that took Apollos to the moon, and they are massave.
Several people saw the astronauts get in them and then they took off. How that was hoaxed is beyond me, but it still is a question.
Also like I said I saw the shuttle re-entry the earth's aptmosphere. It was special. I have yet to see it actualy take off. That may be on my 'to do list' before I die.
