    The real Apollo 11 story

    Worth a look for no other reason than the ALIEN comments.

    Bit lengthy but interesting.

    Yeah some smart guy already figured it all out. Turns out they were actually Nazi's who had landed on the moon and built bases circa 1945. They're already making a movie about it:

    Cheers for that.
    I'm not convinced about UFO's, but I'm positive that they were extremely lucky on several occasions.

    Glad they weren't Russians, they would have used pencils to save bucks.

    Shoulda been No8 wire.

    (That's if you believe the Yanks actually went to the moon....)

    It was their jettisoned piss staying in orbit with them.

    Not at all. Having spent a few years as a UFO investigator and having met several astronauts and NASA scientists... it is more a case of "The truth? You don't want the truth. You can't handle the truth!"

    Jettisoning stuff from a craft in orbit isn't like throwing rubbish out your car window while on the motorway. All the shit keeps travelling along beside you in orbit as well.

    Uh, really?

    if you just place it out the door (like sticking a milkbottle on the porch, i.e. you dont impart any force on it then perhaps, but if you impart a foce to it then relative to your orbit it will adopt a different orbit, governed by its mass, the strength and direction of the force applied, and the original orbit. One would have thought that someone who was a UFO investigator might have some basic concept of physics, science, and the relative distances between stuff in the universe. Or are the only requirements a believing mind and a set of preconceived ideas?

    People who belittle the space programme, the people involved, or think that it was a hoax or whatever are belittling humankinds greatest technical achievement. It pisses me off when crackpot theorists and lunatics are given the time of day by otherwise sensible people.

    Oh yeah, the REAL Apollo 11 story is one of enormous technical achievement, courage, sacrifice and heroism, and three men in a tiny little boat, a LONG way from home. Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins: thats the real story.

    It depends how much force they give it though. A lot of stuff only gets a gentle nudge away so it slowly drifts apart. Or as in human waste, it only gets evacuated by vacuum. (why waste more energy than you need to?) As a result a lot of stuff spends quite a long time slowly drifting away from the original orbit, and that any astronaut looking out the window would be able to see for some time shining in the very very strong sunlight with no atmosphere.

    It has fooled many an astronaut. Especially if a stabilising thruster fires and all of a sudden the object speeds away.
