And even if there are two Suns, in the Moon's sky neither one is anywhere near the 10°
altitude NASA babbled about. A little plane trigonometry reveals that Aldrin's personal
source of illumination is at 26.4°altitude, 4 but Armstrong's shadow-casting light has
outraced Aldrin's, and is at 34.9° of altitude. 5
The EVA took place about 7 hours after landing. Since a lunar day is 30 Earth days long
the Sun moves through the lunar sky only 12° in 24 hours. Seven hours would equal about
3.5° which would place the Sun about 13.5° off the horizon during their famous space walk.
At that altitude the shadows would have been a little over 9 inches long in the original
photo. This is over twice as long as the longest shadow shown in the picture. 6 No single
source of light can create unequal shadows from men who are nearly equal in height. And,
as Mr. Carto also pointed out, where is the flag's shadow which should have neatly bisected
Armstrong Gotcha NASA!
NASA apologists have explained the longer shadow by proudly announcing that the
flag's shadow has added to the length. If that were true then the angle from the tip of the flag
to that end of Aldrin's shadow should be the same as the angle between Armstrong's
backpack and and the top of his shadow. Using the flag pole to establish vertical, Armstrong's
shadow shows the Sun to be 5° above the horizon while the flag's shadow shows it to be
almost 20°. No matter how you look at it, this picture was FAKED!
GOTCHA #2
Recently, while reading Aldrin's MEN FROM EARTH, I found this NASA policy
statement. Aldrin is quoted here reminiscing about his Gemini 12 spacewalk when he happened
to glance up and see something twinkling. "Stars in the daylight" I asked aloud. 7
don't think so.' On the early Mercury flights, NASA scientists had predicted the astronauts
would see stars in the daylight, but the astronauts, all jet pilots with high altitude experience,
had been skeptical. Soon they figured out that you saw stars in orbit only when you were in
Earth's shadow: night." 7
After waxing poetic he then said that what twinkled was a plastic bag. The early rocket
plane pilots saw stars in the daytime. Subsequently, however, on each Apollo flight NASA
tells us that they navigated using the "dim and fuzzy" stars. Well, since they were not in the
shadow of the Earth where did — all of a sudden — these dim and f uzzys come from
Since these statements are diametrically opposed, one or both must be a lie! What is the truth
and where does the truth lie and why did they bother to lie
Repeating my statement from "Star light — Star bright," I believe that the brighter stars
are visible to the naked eye in the daytime, from mine entrances, deep wells, and through a
long black tube — if you know exactly where to look.
The truth could be easily determined by a ride on the next shuttle. However, since I
couldn't, wouldn't dare ask NASA for that ride, I thought up a simple experiment. What I
needed was an astronomer with a small "backyard" telescope equipped with clockwork
tracking device. This is a motorized clockwork unit that compensates for the Earth's rota-
