Conspiracies - The Moon Landings And The Men In Black

[10ClarionSt]

I don't know who believes these or not, but there are a couple of things that weren't mentioned in both of these. Firstly, with the moon landings, we see fantastic photos that are alleged to have been taken on the moon. Anyone who knows anything about photography will tell you that even small doses of radiation will totally destroy photo film, yet the cameras used are seen openly mounted on the front of the astronauts. How could the film survive all the radiation throughout the missions? This is something that has never been mentioned. Now, "The Men In Black". We are told that they always appear after UFO sightings and will intimidate people into withdrawing claims of sightings and making them sign affidavits that they will never talk about what they saw. Apparently nobody knows who the men in black are or who they work for, so where do the affidavits go? They must be filed somewhere. I'm just, like, saying. Y'know?

Fabulous, aren't they? I find them absolutely fascinating,

// live on TV in July 1966 //

Canary's probably getting mixed up with the world cup final :-)

[mikey4444]

aelmpvw...I think that was faked as well....after all we never came close again did we ?

[Tilly2]

Next year, it will be fifty years since we won the World Cup.....staggering, isn't it?

I watched the landing on the Isle of Scilly when I was head waiter at the Tregarthens Hotel, with Harold Wilson.

I didn't know that Harold Wilson was a waiter.......

[aelmpvw]

i didn't know it landed on the isle of scilly either ....

He was having dinner at the hotel, and didnt have a TV in his holiday home on the Island, so he watched it in our staff room.

The thing that I found puzzling about the photo's was that some objects on the film were actually in front of the cross hairs.
Has that ever been successfully explained ?

Pub Quiz Question:

Which was the first country to land a spacecraft on the moon?

[EDDIE51]

USSR ^^

Now what made me think it was 1966 - ah yes aelmpvw you've probably hit the nail on the head.

I've never heard it mooted that the World Cup win was a fake though. Mind you, the third England goal has been a good talking point ever since.

//Ask anyone who lost their holiday snaps going through airport security due to exposure to the scanners.//

Logically, medical X-ray strength should be only enough to discriminate between tissues or material of the densities pertinent to the medical complaint. Even tiny fillings block the rays completly, showing white (film was unexposed), teeth and bone in gray shades and anything passing through soft tissue only is fully exposed, black.

Airport scanners must, therefore, be more powerful or, if weaker, it is the fact that exposure is continuous, on the conveyor system so even the centre of the film reel is over-exposed.

EDDIE51 has already corrected your "low, medium and high" misunderstanding. I actually thought you were joking when you said that.

But he didn't classify X-rays as radiation. Which is unusual because NASA expressed concerns about how little we understood (then) of radiation away from the shielding of earth's magnetic field. Leaving earth orbit for the first time (Apollo 7 & 8) was a step into the unknown.

Earth orbit exposes everything to X-rays direct from the sun but the camera casing should be enough to block most of it.

EDDIE51 didn't mention Cosmic radiation but neither did you. At worst, it might make small scratch-like traces on films but *not* blanket fogging or overexposure of entire films.

To anyone who still thinks the moon landings were faked and declined to accept the laser reflectors as evidence, would you accept the challenge of scouring the planet for anything chemically identical to moon mission rock samples and giving us the location of the site (please leave enough material behind for scientists to dig their own sample, so they don't have to damage yours)?

Was there a grassy knoll nearby ?

Naomi: Your dad's not that little old man sitting on the moon in the John Lewis Christmas advert, is he?

No he passed away in 2003.

[naomi24]

Ah, right. Just wondered.

[Retrochic]

No you didn't 'wonder', it was a cheap jibe.

[naomi24]

Well, not really. You did say //he was in a little better position than most to make an educated assumption.// What better position than a seat on the moon?
