Ok, these are such desperate grasps at straws, it's probably not worth replying to. If you find these videos convincing, then there's probably no amount of real evidence that would convince you otherwise.
- Mr. Someguy says "It wasn't possible." and pulls some figure out of his anus. That's not evidence. That's opinion (which was very one-sided through the whole video. How much time did the NASA representative get? Like 10 seconds?). "We didn't have the technology." I strongly disagree there. Even John Carmack says building a rocket can be done with mostly parts from your local hardware store and the technology hasn't changed for years. It's not that complicated. You need two basic things: hardware and an understanding of physics. They had those.
- The flag wasn't flapping in the wind. It was swinging back and forth because the guy was twisting the post all over the place. The segment was so short, I don't see how you can draw any conclusion from that. If it were staged and edited, don't you think they'd do a retake on that anyway if the flag were fluttering about? Notice how the bottom of the flag floated all the way up past the top and slowly came back down? That wasn't because of the wind; it was the low gravity. There was no wind. If there were wind, you'd see all the dust on the ground flying around, too.
- No blast crater. The moon's gravity is much lower than earths, and if you watch the video, the craft drifts quite a bit after they cut the engines off.
- No dust settling on the craft. Come on now. Think about it. This shows how clueless these people really are. It's like they expect this huge cloud of dust to fly up and then slowly settle down on the craft. Guess what. There's no air on the moon. Dust falls at the same speed as a bowling ball. It all fell back to the ground promptly after it was stirred up. If the craft were covered in dust, I'm sure some conspiracy theorist would come up with a theory explaining why that couldn't happen, either.
- Objects lit even though they were in shadow. Ok, this is just sad. Have they never heard of radiosity before? The moon is a very light color. It reflects light. So much light, in fact, that it can provide enough light to see allllll the way back on Earth some nights. And they think that's not enough reflected light to light up an astronaut?
- Multiple light sources claim. If you actually pay attention to where they drew the lines, you'll notice they don't actually line up with the shadows. Not only that, but they imply that there were
multiple light sources. If you have multiple light sources, you have multiple shadows. There weren't multiple shadows, therefore, there couldn't have been multiple light sources.
- Objects showing up on top of crosshairs (or whatever you call them). Take a look at some high-resolution NASA photographs. You'll notice those crosshair marks are slightly translucent. If you have a really bright light (such as the sun shining directly on an object with not atmosphere to filter it), the light will bleed through enough to look completely white.
- Same mountains in the background. Have you ever been somewhere and seen mountains in the background? What happens when you move, say across the street? Down the block? A few streets away? Those same mountains still show up in the background. Apparently this is a foreign concept to some people.
- Footage of the same location. Apparently this was mislabeled.
- Speed the video up and it looks like Earth's gravity. I can speed my voice up and sound like a chipmunk. Does that mean I'm really a chipmunk slowing my voice down
- Fox showed it, so it must be true. Remember the Alien Autopsy?
