K Borowski Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Well, I, for one, don't believe it's a hoax, and I have lunar internegatives to prove it. Anyway, Chris, this picture was taken on special Kodak 70mm B&W film and processed aboard the spacecraft's special Kodak automatic darkroom. The film was then scanned and radioed back to earth from a scanner on-board :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Dunn Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Totally off-topic, but does anyone want to hazard a guess as to how they made this photograph in space in 1966? No problem. Lunar Orbiter had an automatic processing lab on board. The photographs were taken aerial film. The film was then pressed into contact with a developer-and fixer- impregnated film which yielded a negative in 3.4 minutes.. It was then dried and scanned for transmission to Earth- the density variation is a scanning artifact. Here's a full explanation http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/lunar_or...roduction.shtml One of Lunar Orbiter's main jobs was to survey potential landing sites for Apollo.

Premium Member Paul Bruening Posted November 14, 2008 Premium Member Share Posted November 14, 2008 The lunar landings were real. It's my birth that was faked. People keep trying to use faulty logic and circular reasoning to convince me that I exist. But, I'm not falling for any of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Giambrone Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 There are real questions about the authenticity of the moon landings (not the orbiter). For one, the engine of the lander would have created a massive crater, blasted under the lander. No such evidence exists in the photos. Looks rather like an oversight, given how designers of the lander were concerned if the ship would sink down too low upon landing. There are a number of other issues, including some fascinating footage of astronauts faking a shot inside the space capsule by putting a mask over the porthole and shooting earth with an elliptical shape. That footage is included in "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Moon" available online. Some of their evidence may be questionable. Other evidence is not so easily dismissed. I'd say the burden of proof is on the government to show that they actually went there, given the billions of dollars that went south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member John Brawley Posted November 23, 2008 Premium Member Share Posted November 23, 2008 I'm off-topic. You sure are. I'd prefer if you refrain from posting this kind of rubbish in the general discussion forum. That goes for faked moon landing discussions as well. jb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
