APOLLO REALITY
This web page will
show how, and where NASA faked the lunar approach, lunar landing, and
lunar take off, for all 6 Apollo missions. Contrary
to what many believe,
the sequences were not shot in a desert, Hollywood studio, or Area 51.
There may have been the odd picture taken at Area 51, and a few Apollo 17
pics that were taken in some remote desert, but the majority of stills and
video were performed at Langley Research Center, Hampton, Virginia.
Scientist's at NASA knew in the early 60's that a manned mission to the
Moon was impossible within 8 years, and a plan to fake the Moon landings
was put into operation. NASA's fake Moon pictures were taken at various
locations such as KSC, JSC, LRC, and of course the odd one or two desert
locations. I would also like to point out to pro Apollo nutters that the
art of manipulating photo's and moving film is as old as photography and
film itself. The 1930's film "King Kong" showed a huge gorilla scaling up
the Empire State building. If it's on film are we led to believe it's
real? No of course not, but that is exactly what the pro Apollo nutters
are claiming.
Langley is NASA's
secret research facility, and staff are sworn to secrecy. All the files
pertaining to the Apollo missions are stored there, along with other
artifacts including the burnt out Apollo capsule which killed Grissom,
Chaffe and White. They have the facilities to perform anything, fake
backgrounds, simulated orbiters etc. First piece of evidence is the large
250 foot traverse crane shown below. Notice the fake Moon crater surface
beneath it.
This crane
was PURPOSELY built in 63/64 to perfect the lunar landing as close as
possible to the real thing, and used to suspend both astronauts, and the
LM itself. It enabled movement of the astronauts and LM in all directions,
ie, up down, left right, forward and reverse. The trial runs were so good,
and with NASA, fully aware that a Moon landing was impossible, opted to
use the setup for faking the alleged cine film of lunar landing, and take
off, whereby the flag is blown over.
According to Bobby
Braun and other NASA officials the idea was to teach the astronauts how to
land a rocket propelled LM. However NO ROCKET POWERED LM WAS EVER
SUSPENDED FROM THIS CRANE. In any case anyone with the slightest gumption
knows that it is IMPOSSIBLE to control a rocket engine. If the pro Apollo
nutters disagree, then perhaps they could direct me to a video or film
showing how the feat was, or could be accomplished. The landings were
controlled purely by traverse and lowering of the LM in the same way as a
conventional crane.
Below are more
pictures showing mock LM suspended from this crane. In the center picture
note the circular objects on the ground floor. The vast expanse of ground
area beneath this crane was ideal for creating mock lunar landscapes. In
reality the area was covered with gray ash, (possibly from some coal fired
power station or boiler house), or plain cement. The circular objects were
then raised by crane to create authentic looking Moon craters, as shown
later.
Picture far right
above is a time lapse sequence taken at night. Notice spotlights on crane
gantry, and how it illuminates the ground surface.
The mock LM was
traversed full length of crane, and simultaneously lowered at the same
time in order to create an authentic looking lunar landing, when viewed
from within the mock LM itself. Power supply to the mock LM was by cable
from crane tower. This enabled a large fan, (fitted beneath the mock LM),
to create the dust scatter effect of a rocket engine as it descended to
the fake Moon surface. The film shown to public of the LM supposedly
blasting off from the Moon's surface was also created beneath this crane
at LRC. The mock LM was simply attached to the crane, and hoisted very
rapidly at the same time a pathetic looking blast off sparks was enacted
beneath it. The film was then speeded up for showing to the public, and it
is interesting to note that the camera filming this sequence cut short
once the LM had reached the crane maximum height. In other words WHY
didn't the camera continue to film the LM until it was out of view? Quite
simply because it was not possible to do under the circumstances in which
the "lift off" was faked.
The above pictures
were taken by Bob Nye on June 20 1969, one month before Armstrong, err,
supposedly stepped on the Moon. Picture on right shows the lander hovering
above fake Moon crater surface beneath the crane. Believe me folks this is
how it was done, even if the pro Apollo nutters say no way. Picture on
left, taken at night, looks like a realistic Moon setting, although I am
in no doubt that some out there will actually say this photo is the Moon.
I have heard so much BS from the pro Apollo nutters nothing would surprise
me. The light source seen in left picture is the SAME light source that
highlights Buzz Aldrin in the controversial picture of him allegedly on
the Moon. Those lights are fixed at top of crane gantry, as shown in
earlier picture, or picture could have been taken at Moonscape, (see apolloreality2).
The monochrome picture left shows Armstrong at the site in
January 1970. This is 6 months AFTER HE SUPPOSEDLY LANDED ON THE MOON, AND
LIKEWISE APOLLO 12 HAD DONE THE SAME. Evidently he returned to the
simulation site 6 months later to figure out how he could do it, having
conned the world into believing he actually did land on the Moon 6 months
before this picture was taken. Pictures below show
how astronauts were suspended from the crane in order to simulate low
gravity. They eventually settled for an upright position with the
astronaut suspended by strong elastic/bungee cord, so that his feet were
only just touching the ground, the same way as a baby bouncer. You can try
it yourself by placing a given weight at the end of an elastic band. As
the astronauts walked in a given direction, the overhead crane moved in
the same direction. This enabled the astronauts to literally float along
in a crude "Moon walk" fashion. There is a classic piece of film, and I
have only ever seen it once. It shows two astronauts supposedly on the
Moon, but one astronaut is following behind the other in a dead straight
line, and at a fixed distance. Two partners in a strange desolate place
would not walk in such a stupid fashion, and so far apart. It's obvious
both are following a given line/route, ie, the line or route in which the
two overhead cranes are forcing them to follow. In the pictures below, it
can be seen how astronauts were suspended from this crane. It is
interesting to note that high backward leg swing in far left picture. That
high backward leg swing is identical to the backleg swing in the Apollo 17
photo of Harrison Schmitt allegedly tripping up on the Moon. In another
video sequence of Apollo 17 astronauts supposedly cavorting on the Moon,
one of them is actually suspended 2 feet off, and at right angles to, the
ground. This sequence lasts for a couple of seconds, so how do NASA
officials explain that, and why is it that no one else has passed comment
on this totally absurd picture shot? It's clear evidence that person in
space suit is suspended from wire, rope, or some other line. In the center
picture notice rail moving device in background for dispensing the
ash/charcoal, (fake lunar surface).
Still not convinced?
Then maybe this NASA archive, dated 26 August 1969, and copied word for
word, will change your mind. It relates to Donald Hewes, who oversaw
operations/filming with the fake landing and take off. Read it, then think
hard about it. Why were NASA phaffing around with fake lunar landscapes,
one month AFTER Armstrong supposedly pulled it off for real?
Answer, to make the fake film look ever more realistic, when future,
higher quality images were broadcast to an already gullible audience.
Looking down from the
top of the gantry on to the simulated Lunar Surface. James Hansen writes:
"To make the simulated landings more authentic, [Donald] Hewes and his men
filled the base of the huge eight-legged, red-and-white structure with
dirt and modeled it to resemble the moon's surface. They erected
floodlights at the proper angles to simulate lunar light and installed a
black screen at the far end of the gantry to mimic the airless lunar
"sky." Hewes personally climbed into the fake craters with cans of
everyday black enamel to spray them so that the astronauts could
experience the shadows that they would see during the actual moon
landing." (p. 375) From A.W. Vigil, "Piloted Space-Flight Simulation at
Langley Research Center," Paper presented at the American Society of
Mechanical Engineers, 1966 Winter Meeting, New York, NY, November 27 -
December 1, 1966. "Ground-based simulators are not very satisfactory for
studying the problems associated with the final phases of landing. This
is due primarily to the fact that the visual scene cannot be simulated
with sufficient realism. For this reason it is preferable to go to some
sort of flight-test simulator which can provide real-life visual cues. One
research facility designed to study the final phases of lunar landing is
in operation at Langley. ... The facility is an overhead crane
structure about 250 feet tall and 400 feet long. The crane system supports
five-sixths of the vehicle's weight through servo-driven vertical cables.
The remaining one-sixth of the vehicle weight pulls the vehicle downward
simulating the lunar gravitational force. During actual flights the
overhead crane system is slaved to keep the cable near vertical at all
times. A gimbal system on the vehicle permits angular freedom for pitch,
roll, and yaw. The facility is capable of testing vehicles up to 20,000
pounds. A research vehicle, weighing 10,500 pounds fully loaded, is being
used and is shown [in this picture]. This vehicle is provided with a large
degree of flexibility in cockpit positions, instrumentation, and control
parameters. It has main engines of 6,000 pounds thrust, throttle able down
to 600 pounds, and attitude jets. This facility is studying the problems
of the final 200 feet of lunar landing and the problems of maneuvering
about in close proximity to the lunar surface." Published in James R.
Hansen, Spaceflight Revolution: NASA Langley Research Center From Sputnik
to Apollo, (Washington: NASA, 1995), pp. 373-378.
We now go inside the
Langley Research Center complex itself to see how they faked the lunar
approach and close orbit of the Moon's surface. We've all seen the film
supposedly taken from the LM as it approached the Moon, and then began to
orbit. The speed at which it changes from approach to lunar orbit is
utterly ridiculous, as any craft traveling at that speed would crash
straight into the Moon, NO ONE could control a craft in such as way as
shown on the film, and in reality NO ONE did. The following pictures show
EXACTLY how it was done.
Ladies, SIZE does
matter believe me, especially when NASA want to create a fake lunar
surface as shown in the above picture on left. It literally dwarfs the two
men stood in front of it. It's unbelievable the time, trouble and expense
that NASA incurred purely to fake the lunar missions. It was of course
done purely to convince the world they were the leaders in space. This
very large picture, and others were used in conjunction with a rail
mounted camera, which also focused on a large rotating PLASTER PARIS model
of the Moon, ) shown on the right). NASA knew, (after
Kennedy's speech in 61), that a lunar landing before 1970 was utterly
impossible. Realizing this they had no option but to fake the missions. A
program was launched at LRC to design props/backgrounds etc. to convince
the media they had achieved the goal set by Kennedy. The pictures above
were scanned from a book, hence the poor quality, however the following
pictures are from NASA.
The high resolution
picture above left shows a 20' diameter sphere which can be rotated from
below. In the left of that picture can be seen a huge blank placard. This
is the scene before LRC staff began work on converting the sphere
to an authentic looking Moon complete with craters. Notice also the rail
track around placard, (there were 3 placards in all).Note moving trolley
on that track. The camera was mounted on that trolley. It first began to
film the rotating sphere, (lunar approach), it then swung around and began
scanning the fake lunar surface on placard, (lunar orbit). The picture
above right shows the sphere after modeling work. Pretty impressive eh?
Notice how background is in the dark. Remove that bloke from the picture
and you could EASILY pass this photo as being taken by the Apollo command
module circling the Moon. It is evident that there were many people
involved in the faking of Apollo, and NASA claim that if it were faked
someone would have spoken out by now. Well the LRC staff were sworn to
secrecy, and if anyone should tell they could face prosecution, possibly
jail, and of course loss of pension rights. In any case those involved
were 100% patriotic to the USA and because of the American pride instilled
within them, they would not in any way condemn what they were
doing.
The two pictures
above show how LRC made "plaster paris" copies of the Moon craters on the
placard. They are checking that the craters are exactly to scale and
layout, as craters shown on the lunar photographs previously taken by high
magnification telescope. Notice the sphere in left hand picture after
modeling work. This sphere had a light inside it which was translucent on
the outside, hence the appearance. The large placard with Moon craters was
also backlit. Turn off all your lighting, and you end up with the picture
shown below. This is how the Moon would look in the void of space if you
could get close enough to it, however no one, not even Armstrong could get
anywhere near to the real thing.
NASA claim that
picture on left is far side of Moon, taken by Apollo 8. The picture is of
course fake, because Apollo 8 never left Earth orbit, and wouldn't far
side of Moon be in total darkness? Compare this sphere with one shown
above in left hand pic. It speaks for itself does it not? In all of these
pictures notice the "blackness" of background. This of course made it
easier for touching up photo's to ensure that background space was
indeed black. However as everyone knows they FORGOT to put any stars in
the final pic.
This picture was
taken by an unmanned probe orbiting the Moon in 1966, or so we are told.
However it has a striking resemblance to pictures supposedly taken 3 years
later by manned spacecraft orbiting the Moon.
What I am saying
here, and this is directed purely towards the pro Apollo nutters, is that
according to this picture it is quite possible to get a photograph of
Earth rise above the Moon's surface WITHOUT a manned space craft orbiting
the Moon, OR this picture is fake, when compared with the photo's
above.
There are some other
photographs taken inside the LRC complex which show astronauts cavorting
around in space suits beside the LM that is shown in the alleged Apollo 11
Moon pictures, and watched over by NASA officials. However those pictures
are fairly common, and can be seen on the Apollo 11 site, hence I have not
included them here. It may be that the VERY FIRST FAKE PICTURES were
indeed taken inside some large complex, if that be the case, then it was
most certainly LRC, and NOT some studio in the Nevada desert as many
proclaim. Incidentally ALL RECORDS pertaining to the faking of Apollo, are
stored under 24 hour guard at LRC, and not due for declassification until
2026, (see APOLLO
FACTS).
We now move away from
LRC to KSC for some genuine simulation pictures taken here on planet
Earth, but which were then doctored for use as Moon photographs. I do not
believe for once that they were training for a Moon mission, moreover the
simulations were done purposely to create photographs which, after
alteration by Tuttle, could be passed off as Moon
photographs.
The sole purpose of
picture above left is to show that simulation photo's were later doctored
and classed as Moon pics. Look at sandy surface with Moon boot footprints,
its IDENTICAL to the Moon boot footprints allegedly on the Moon. Notice
other astronaut and Moon buggy in background, but the main point to
observe is the relative flatness of the foreground, and ABRUPT STRAIGHT
LINE where that foreground meets the background bushy/grass area, which is
but a few yards away. Applying the same tactics as Tuttle, (see APOLLO
FAKE), we could easily paste our mountain scene in the
background, black the sky out, and there you have it, one photo taken on
the Moon. Tut, tut. The picture above right was also taken at KSC. Notice
sandy (fake Moon surface, rocks etc). Again astronauts don their helmets
and picture is taken. That picture is then revamped as a photo supposedly
taken on the Moon.
These two pictures
were, of course, taken here on planet Earth. The photo on right was taken
at KSC, however those random spaced boulders appear to have a VERY similar
layout to the boulders shown in the far left picture. NASA claim it's a
Moon picture.
How could NASA create
a boulder strewn landscape BEFORE they supposedly visited the
area, and had any indication of that
landscape?
The picture above was
taken at Houston. It shows how NASA created a fake Moon crater. That SAME
crater however appears in quite a number of Moon pics from DIFFERING
missions. In Apollo 16 picture of Charlie Duke by crater, this is THE
CRATER. The rough edges, gaps and pockets between boulders were smoothed
out with ash/charcoal. Overall this fake crater appeared in rough format
for the Apollo 14 and 15 fake pictures, and smooth format for the Apollo
16 and 17 fake pictures.
Opposite is a picture
of how the crater appeared in NASA's fake pictures.
During the mid 60's
astronauts went on training missions to Iceland. One of the reasons for
this was because they believed the remote Icelandic landscape closely
resembled the Moon itself.
The picture opposite
shows astronauts on just such a mission, however it is interesting to note
that the background mountain scene in this picture is IDENTICAL to a
mountain scene from one of the Apollo 15 pictures.
Evidently they
decided to use some of those remote scenes, (in monochrome of course), for
pasting onto to the simulation pictures taken at KSC and LRC, and then
publish them as genuine photo's taken on the Moon.
This last picture
shows Buzz Aldrin in his Apollo 11 capsule, returning from, ermm, the
Moon, AND of course in the blackness of space. But wait what do we see
through the capsule window? Why it's the light blue haze of Earth's
atmosphere. Living proof that capsule was only in Earth orbit. In fact
that light blue haze streaming through capsule window can be seen in video
coverage from EVERY Apollo mission, Apollo 8 through to Apollo 17, as all
were simply EARTH ORBITING.
So there you have it.
You've seen how film of lunar approach, lunar orbit, landing, and take off
were accomplished, so next time you see a film on TV of any Apollo craft
supposedly approaching, orbiting, landing on, or taking off from the Moon,
you will know exactly how it was done. I have also shown how fake Moon
pictures were created. Those under 45 can be excused for being somewhat
gullible to have believed the film and photo's from Apollo missions were
real, however those above should have "wised up" many years ago, (38 to
be exact), that Moon missions were
faked.
I'm definitely hooked
on this scam, and wanna see
