What's really out there.. Moon

What are people thinking? Do they really believe us landing on the Moon never really happened?

Come on .. Really... We didn't land on the Moon... Hmmm.. the soil and rock samples we have just magically appeared. We just willed them from the Moon to the Earth.

Hmmm.. We almost lost Apollo 13 ... but we weren't traveling to the Moon. Hmmm what about all the Saturn5 rockets that took off from Florida? Oh .. wait .. we didn't have people on them they were sitting in a movie studio pretending they were on the rocket and on the moon. Right… NOT!

What about the pictures floating around out there that show "glass towers" and "glass walls" of ancient structures... GIVE ME A BREAK! Lets break this down to something people can relate to. It may seem that I am digressing from the topic but you will see where this is going.

For those of you that are old enough to remember going to the movies and watching Flash Gordon (original black and white) or Godzilla movies or Abbott and Costello. Think back to those movies. Did you see the wires holding up the Flash Gordon's space ship? Probably not. Now look at the same movie on TV today do you see them now? Of course you do. Now lets move a little more recent. How many of you went to see Star Wars in the theater? Looked impressive didn't it? State of the art special effects audiences and critics alike raved about the movie and the cutting edge special effects. Now... Watch the same movie (not the re-mastered digitally enhanced version) See the little boxes around the Tie Fighters and X-Wing fighters? See the odd color around the Death Star? Why is that? Same movie.. Why didn't you see that when you saw it back in the 70's?

Here is why. Like everything else in this world film technology and video technology has advanced. The projectors at the theaters have gotten better. The cameras used to shoot the film has gotten better even the film has gotten better on the formulations. Back then the quality of the film was on par with the quality of the cameras and the quality of the projectors. Being that it was still a very novel and young industry the quality was the best it could be at the time. Now zip ahead to today... Video interlacing is MUCH better. The quality of the picture on you TV is much better than it was when TV's first came on the scene. Hell there are camera cell phones out there that probably have better quality than the computer monitor I am looking at right now. We have become accustomed to digitally enhanced, digitally mastered and digitally created movies, videos and a host of other things. We expect that what we see has been manipulated by a computer and enhanced or modified to make something that wasn't there, but was added by computer, to look like it really was there. Take a look at the recent Star Wars movies. Do you realize how much was not there and how much was added by computer? There are some scenes I think you would be hard pressed to tell the difference between computer generated and real.

So how does this relate to the topic at hand? We are so accustomed to things being clean and clear and perfect that little imperfections are caught right away. The quality of video is so much better, the quality of the recordings are so much better than what was being used in the 60's and 70's. So now we look at those pictures from the past and catch all the imperfections of the film, the cameras and the processing. Ten years from now we will look back at the movies of today and say "Wow.. that is so primitive. Look at all the edit lines and edges you can see around those CG characters".

So to sit there and say that there are all these "glass structures" on the Moon is ridiculous. We are seeing imperfections that back then couldn't be seen because of the quality of the medium and the viewing equipment. Not to mention these are cameras and film that are exposed to high doses of radiation, extreme temperatures and a host of other things. What you see in the pictures from the Moon is nothing more than imperfections in processing and film that are only visible due to the better quality monitors that we have today and pixel manipulation and picture quality loss when the original picture is digitized. If you were to take those same pictures and view them on the same equipment from the day and watch that Star Wars movie on the big screen using the same screens and projectors from that time period they would all look flawless.

Nothing on the Moon pictures shows anything but film, processing and equipment imperfections.

We did land on the Moon and there are NO ancient glass structures on the Moon... GET A LIFE!
