Thank you for your contribution to this thread, most helpful and welcome. Perhaps you'd like to start your own thread, something like "I'm an idiot whose had too much to drink again "
He's obviously a newcomer in these here parts.That debate ran its course on PH around ten years ago.

Still can t do it now, yet alone then.
We can't fly passengers across the Atlantic at Mach 2 either, so by your 'logic' Concorde didn't exist. The examples in museums are just mock-ups designed to fool the gullible, as I'm sure your mighty powers of deduction have already calculated.Still can t do it now, yet alone then.
On the plus side, if you tell your story to Buzz Aldrin, who I had the honour of meeting a few years ago, he won't debate. He'll just punch you in the face.
Not Apollo 15 but from BBC sounds "13 Minutes Presents : The Space Shuttle" this episode covers the Challenger tragedy.
"We turn back the clock to a meeting the day before the launch which might have changed everything"

Best to keep Shuttle discussions on one of the Shuttle discusion threads - of which there is at least one."We turn back the clock to a meeting the day before the launch which might have changed everything"

On the subject of Apollo 15, I remember watching it all live on TV at the time. The area they went to on the moon was simply stunning - the foothills of Mount Hadley - and they visited Hadley Rille - an enormous gash in the moon's surface. Also, from a PHer's point of view, they were the first to bring the Lunar Rover Vehicle, which was amazing in its own right.

Compared to modern scandals seems quite quaint'In June 1972, a scandal involving the crew of NASA's Apollo 15 became publicly known'.

Sadly, the three astronauts involved never got assigned to any more flights and they all left NASA soon afterwards. Dave Scott was a key person in the setting up of the joint Apollo/Soyuz jointt flight (ASTP) in 1975 but he had already left NASA by the time the mission actually flew.
What Scott and his colleagues had done was not unheard of amongst other NASA astronauts before. However, the difference was it was 1972/73, and the US press was getting its teeth into government corruption and skullduggery - mainly due to the emerging investigations into the Watergate scandal. So all government projects and activities came under much closer scrutiny than had been the norm previously.

Also I'm pretty certain we still have all the plans and blueprints for Concorde intact as they didn't mysteriously get deleted or destroyed, there is also live footage of Concorde available for digital inspection, pretty sure the only moon footage is taken from a projected source so not able to be digital inspected for alterations or authentication.
There are more holes in the moon landing story than there would be in the moon were it really made of cheese.

The previously - referenced books are excellent by the way, part of my modest, cherished Apollo library.

And here’s my photo of the Apollo-Soyuz capsule taken in California about three years ago What Scott and his colleagues had done was not unheard of amongst other NASA astronauts before.

I haven’t seen ‘15 but it’s on the list….generationx said:

I use moon landing denial as a way to filter people I never want to see again.
