NASA-FLIX MINI-DOC,

๐ŸŒ•๐ŸŽฌ We Went to the Moon โ€” Honest! ๐Ÿ˜‡โœจ

Coming this summer, relive the totally straightforward story of how a 1960s government agency defeated gravity, radiation, fuel limits, materials science, and basic arithmetic, all before lunch ๐Ÿ•ฐ๏ธ๐Ÿš€

Witness the mighty Saturn V, a 3,000-tonne candle that somehow hurled a 21-tonne spacecraft to the Moon using kerosene and confidence โ›ฝ๐Ÿ˜Œ Physics professors today say it canโ€™t be done, which only proves how much better physics used to be ๐Ÿ“šโœจ

Marvel as engineers calculate escape velocity with slide rules, chalk dust, and vibes ๐Ÿ“๐Ÿงฎ๐ŸŒ€ While modern rockets need multiple orbital refuels, Apollo packed light, because excess fuel is just fear in liquid form ๐Ÿ›ข๏ธ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ’ฆ

Feel the thrill of launch as astronauts endure bone-crushing G-forces without a single documented organ complaint ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿš€๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿซ€๐Ÿ‘ The rocket rattles violently, but donโ€™t worry, thatโ€™s just freedom shaking itself loose ๐Ÿ”Š๐Ÿ’ข๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿฆ…

Experience the miracle of heat and friction as an aluminum capsule cruises through plasma hotter than lava, yet remains cozy inside ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐ŸŒก๏ธโ˜„๏ธ๐Ÿงฃโ˜• Thanks to a heat shield that chars heroically and then politely stops heat from doing heat things ๐Ÿ˜‡๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ

Travel through the Van Allen radiation belts with no measurable harm, because the crew passed through quickly โ˜ข๏ธ๐ŸŽขโฉ Radiation, as we all know, respects schedules โŒ›๐Ÿ˜Œ

Be amazed by the onboard computer, running on less memory than a modern toaster, flawlessly navigating Earthโ€“Moon dynamics, orbital rendezvous, and pinpoint landings ๐Ÿ’พ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿž๐ŸŒโžก๏ธ๐ŸŒ•๐Ÿค๐ŸŽฏ Because when software is primitive, human calm fills the RAM ๐Ÿง˜โ€โ™‚๏ธโœจ

Touch down on the Moon in the Lunar Module, a delicate origami hut powered by hope and a lawn-equipment engine ๐Ÿช™๐Ÿšœ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ˜ No unmanned test landing, no backup vehicle, just one take, baby ๐ŸŽฌ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Enjoy live television from a quarter-million miles away in stunning clarity, a feat never repeated, while todayโ€™s streaming buffers at 12 feet ๐Ÿ“ก๐Ÿ“บ๐Ÿ›œ๐Ÿ˜ค Progress!

Relive the priceless data, telemetry tapes, original footage, and engineering records, lovingly preserved byโ€ฆ taping over them ๐Ÿ“Šโœจ๐Ÿ“ผ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ Because when something works perfectly, you donโ€™t need receipts ๐ŸงพโŒ

And finally, ask yourself the ultimate question ๐Ÿค”

Why return when you already nailed it ๐Ÿ†

Why improve perfection ๐Ÿ’ฏ

Why go back at all ๐Ÿš€โŒ

Six missions,

No disasters,

No repeats,

No recreations,

Science settled ๐Ÿ”ฌ

Doubts deleted ๐Ÿ—‘๏ธ

History locked ๐Ÿ”

NASA-FLIX,

Because belief is lighter than fuel ๐Ÿคž๐ŸŒ•

Are you still watching? ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ˜

Good one - 'NASA-Flix', that is inspired :) Yes so easy in 1969, but 'Orion' won't be carrying a moon lander if it ever takes off....too difficult, too much weight, requires more rocketry and fuel...etc.

As a photographer, I have never understood how the astronauts were able to use film cameras on the moon's surface.

Also, the exposures are perfect. But color film has little latitude.

Regarding the live video images sent from the capsule back to earth -- what sort of 1969 technology made that possible?

And what about Nixon's phone call!

Can search the embedded table, their story relies on the magic of the S Transponder - which was powered by 20 watts. If you look in your house you won't find a light bulb below 40w. I have used an S Transponder replica and they claim it was the 'walkie talkie' on the LEM and CM. It would never function across frequencies, Khz to Ghz, nor across networks or multiplexing from 'space'.

Nixon's phone is also addressed - a Bell landline patched to a wireless frequency patching a Hz frequency to Ghz - this would never work in 1969 and if it did would result in noise, latency and drops. They talk to each other as if they were in the same room.

Gurdjieff had a good expression: 'victims of a contemporary education' lol

Yes indeed, the propaganda is truly relentless. No critical thinking is allowed.

Let's start at the beginning; the rocket launch. Many articles on aulis.com suggest Saturn V never left earth's orbit.

Did this Saturn V rocket get to the Moon? Based on these experimental results, it must be concluded that such a slow rocket most likely ended up in the waters of the Atlantic. Moreover, it carried no space craft, and had no astronauts aboard.

Correct, 21 tonnes payload. As the Nazi von Braun said you would need 300.000 tonnes of volume (Empire State Bldg). The Saturn V was 3.000 tonnes.

Of all the discrepancies, the photographs are the least compelling to me. Many things about them scream "fake!", but it provides the fanboys with endless trivial points to argue and distract. There are far greater absurdities in the fundamental physics, which the fanboys can only attempt to deboonk with pseudoscience pilpul.

Dr Ferdinand Santos III's avatar

Yes indeed. The S transponder is a beauty. Apparently in 1969 with analogue tech they had the ability to mulitplex rich data, transfer it from khz to Ghz over a wireless spectrum, feed it into a receiver 240 K miles away, transfer that over a coaxial cable to an IBM mainframe to process in real time and feed the control room :) Sure they did. Fanboys never discuss such things. They argue over shadows. As you said the photos are obvious fakes but so much else is wrong.

I love a bit of fanboy rage. Quite frequently go on their silly YouTube space video channels and wind them up. I guess that makes me a troll as well as a flat Earther conspiracy theorist. Oh well.

Good for you. It is impossible to understand why or how someone becomes so emotionally invested in 'NASA' and the CIA. The blind trust and defense of the ridiculous is frightening.

The GoogleDrive link isnโ€™t working for me.

Granted access, viewer role, hopefully works

Thanks! The embedded/searchable table and google sheet is awesome!

Dr Ferdinand Santos III's avatar

Thanks Eddie, I will create a real database - also for physics in general (huge frauds, nonsense in every domain). I need to schedule and book time to create a real db to provide material, critiques, mapped to sources and links as well.

๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ the fact anyone assumes einsteins smart is hilarious and very telling of how much they understand or actually Read ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Absolutely all of that is complete nonsense
