More on TV
At the time I wasn't sure whether Apollo 12 (from 11/14/69 to 11/24/69) was "live" or
not because I wasn't excitedly waiting in line to see more blurry exercises. I dare say neither
was anyone else. Thinking back on it, almost everybody had the same complaint -lousy
pictures. According to my recent research, however, there were no live TV broadcasts of
either Apollo 11 or Apollo 12. If true, this means that the incredible space achievement we
watched was a ghastly, ghostly joke perpetrated by those masters of the hoax — NASA.
Richard Lewis writes about the Apollo 14 landing: "Mitchell then descended to the
surface and Shepard collected a contingency sample about 25 feet from the LM. He then set
up the television camera on a tripod about 100 feet away. He was careful to keep the lens
away from the sun, which was what had blinded the Apollo 12 camera. Now, for the first
time, there would be a televised record of man on the Moon." 1 Gee! Imagine that: a guy with
"The Right Stuff", after all that training, doing a dumb thing like pointing a TV camera
directly at the Sun. Hard to believe!
So, what were they showing We must have watched simulations! Not only did I not
realize that at the time; no one else I know did either. Did you But we were only taxpaying
outsiders. The bigger fools seem to be the professionals like John Wilford, The New York
Times, and the TV journalists. They fell for it hook, line, and sinker.
To add insult to injury the later pictures were still bad. Richard Lewis wrote about the
Apollo 14 TV: "In the television pictures that came to Earth from 238,000 miles away, the
explorers looked like bulky white ghosts against a black sky, cavorting about a strange
landscape of dunes and craters ..." 2 Sounds the same as the first pictures that the astronauts
didn't take during the Apollo 11 and Apollo 12 missions.
In Footprints on the Moon, the authors have this to say about Armstrong as he descended
the Lander's ladder. "Suddenly he was standing on the porch of Eagle, beginning tentative
steps down the nine rungs of the ladder. On the way he pulled a lanyard releasing an
equipment shelf and a television camera." 3 Why do I get the feeling that NASA will always
tell whatever lie is handy
This is government newspeak at its peak. When is the first picture, the first picture The
only pictures that NASA didn't dare fake (and eliminated entirely) were pictures of the stars
and planets. NASA realized that millions of amature and professional astronomers around
the world would see these pictures, and if there were any discrepancies NASA's Moon cat
would surely claw out from NASA's bag of tricks.
NASA did build a planetarium at their secret Mercury, Nevada base and attempted to use
it for faking the stars. But it didn't work. A planetarium projector uses a bright lamp bulb
inside a sphere that is pierced to allow dots of light to radiate up to the hemispherical roof of
the circular building. The dome must be painted with a highly reflective paint so that the
"stars" are visible.
