Ah...
NOTE: I`ve been far too lazy to read this whole thread, so if any of this has been posted previously, `copying` has been unintentional.
I seem to remember there was a tv special (FOX network or something like that aired it) which gave all this "evidence" that the moon landings were faked too. There is an entire multi-page report which takes each piece of this supposed evidence and scientifically proves it wrong, with even a few simple experiments you can do yourself to show it.
Read it for yourselves conspiracy theorists!
A couple of more choice pieces;
"No stars in the images;
As usual, this was about the first argument used by the Hoax believers to debunk the lunar landing. We see no stars in the images because the images are exposed for the bright sunlit scenes. The stars are too faint to show up on the images due to their short exposure."
You can PROVE this to yourself if need be - go take a photo of the sky when the stars are out with an average camera. Oh look... blackness.
And to one of the favourite bits of "inevidence"
"Shadows go in wrong directions, not parallel;
The hoax proponents apparently don't understand simple convergence - the disappearing point which elementary school art students learn about in order to draw roads or railroad tracks disappearing into the distance. The shadows, though parallel from overhead, look to be going in different directions from the perspective of a person on the ground. You can see the same effects here on Earth. The most used image by the hoaxers is from Apollo 14 where the Lunar Module appears in the distance to be casting a horizontal shadow while the shadows of the rocks in the foreground are angled towards the camera. However, if you look closely at the LM shadow and the LM itself, you'll see the LM partly lit - similarly to the rocks in the foreground along the same direction and you can see that the shadow is not horizontal, but is greatly foreshortened. As usual, just a casual examination of the evidence contradicts the hoaxers argument.
The lunar surface is also very undulating with hills and craters in great abundance. Shadows appear longer if they go down a slope on the sunward side of a crater or hill or appear shorter on a slope that faces into the sun. Hills and craters can also change the apparent direction of a shadow to make it look non-parallel with adjacent shadows."
Actually, that entire report is highly recommended reading... damn those pesky things like facts that get in the way of peoples sad dillusions.
