Tascosa, SASS# 24838 Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 My grandmother was about 86 at the time and said it was a movie made in Hollywood. No one could convince her it was real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kloehr Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 I'm an engineer. I took a look at what it would have required to fake the moon landings. First, all the work involved in the fake. That isn't too bad at first glance. Certainly, the astronauts would have to be in on it, plus building a rocket to not go there but capable of doing so. And fake the landings and the moon walks. And do this in a time when CG did not exist. And then make sure that all of the engineers who actually believed they were doing a moon trip that they were actually doing a moon trip... Which requires a huge engineering effort by other engineers faking the trips to satisfy the engineers making the trips actually happen. Without ever having an error or a leak... Which becomes untenable as a proposition. Frankly, it would be easier to actually go to the moon than fake the trip. Because to begin with, the rocket would actually have to be capable of doing so. We definitely went to the moon. Now that leaves another question... What did the astronauts see when they looked back at the earth? Yes, that would be a bit awkward, but there are flat-earthers all around the world... I mean in all four corners of the world. But I'm not worried about them, the cats will knock them off the edge sooner or later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Those same people (and others) believe that Area 51 has alien bodies and stuff all over and that has been kept secret fo about 50 years, too. Besides, they make the aliens look like little gray men or giants and we uh, they don't look like that at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Sage, SASS #49891 Life Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 After working for 40 years in aerospace as a Production Engineer on the Apollo, Saturn, B-1a, F-18, B-2 and Space Shuttle, I am the real thing.

Big Sage, SASS #49891 Life Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 I was manager of Production Engineering. Production Engineering consisted of Manufacturing Engineering, Industrial Engineering and Manufacturing Technology. Design Engineering designed it and we made sure what they designed could be manufactured and built per their specifications. Not an easy task. Some people think it was fake, but I worked many thousands of hours with thousands of dedicated people on this program and KNOW we went to the moon!

Sedalia Dave Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 I had the privilege of working with some of the guys that tracked the Gemini and Apollo spacecraft. We were using a system at the Houston Space center to track an aircraft doing low lever super sonic testing out over the gulf. Because they were so low auto tracking was not getting the job done. Our minders saw the problems we were having and sent us to a new building and set us up with a group of engineers that started out at NASA tracking the Gemini capsules. After a test pass at a little higher altitude to get the speed down they manually tracked our aircraft as it did its testing. Knowing the level of skill required to to accomplish this feat I was very impressed at his ability to stay on target through out the entire run. Spent 8 days listening to oral history and asking questions of some exceptionally talented individuals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
