THE TV COVERAGE
The one word never mentioned during the very first moon landing was the word "simulation".
Given the temper of the times, it might have produced full blown revolution. The
simulation story is relatively recent and probably a direct response by NASA apologists to
Bill Kaysing's original detective work. Why would NASA have needed to use any simulated
film if they really landed on the Moon Looking back at it now I can see that every photo
was simulated, but back then we believed that it was the distance that screwed up the
coverage. There had to be some reason, because we knew NASA had the finest equipment.
The pictures were dark one second and bright the next. A single picture might show one
astronaut blazing with light while his buddy, 10 feet away and also in the unfiltered sunlight,
would be troll black. Most of the pictures resembled those of night scenes on a "grade Z"
science fiction flick where the buxom girl, whose bodice has been ripped by the aliens, keeps
disappearing into the gloom just before we can get a good look.
The Blurry Pictures
The blurry white ghosts and the black trolls were busy doing unusual boring things while
speaking NASA-ese at each other. "Did you put up the poop-ding on ramus" "No, the
clavrick has exceeded port 19!"
The astronauts were alternately hiding under the shadow of that ungainly and exceedingly
ugly LEM, and then popping out into the sunlight to gambol around. They were
blindingly white one second and dark the next, and not one picture was ever crisp. It was as
if a blurry eraser had been applied.
Malicious Intent -
The lousy pictures were intentional! Indeed, this was imperative so that no one could
critically examine those first pictures when our critical facilities were at their peak. Once a
premise is accepted by our EBS, we hardly ever re-examine it.
It was years before I suspected NASA of fraud and thought to re-examine the pictures
for the first few missions. By that time they were hard to find, as TV stations preferred the
clearer color shots allegedly taken on later missions. The pictures were just more obfuscation
used by NASA to keep its gravy train rolling through this land that once was flowing
with milk and honey.
The Big Screen
Much of the blurring was specifically induced by NASA's insistence that the TV networks
had to broadcast directly from a huge TV screen in the operations room. In other
words, they had to take a picture of a poorly-magnified picture! Fortunately for NASA, the
major networks accepted this mandate. Also, even more fortunate, in 1969 there were no TV
screens that large, no matter how much you could spend. If you wanted a bigger screen you
bought an optical system that strapped onto a standard set and used mirrors and lenses
