A number of readers have called my attention to photos that were taken and recently released by NASA of the landing sites for the various Apollo missions from the 60’s and 70’s. The photos in the link below were taken by a NASA probe that orbited the moon in 2011. The pictures have been described by some as being extraordinary with unbelievable clarity.

Visit this link to see the entire catalog of NASA photos showing the Apollo landing sites. 

In my opinion, the images are somewhat disappointing. I would have thought that NASA could have photographed the Apollo landing sites with a camera that revealed more detail and a closer view of the space equipment debris fields?

For example, click this link and take a look at a camera shot taken of a crowd of people in Canada. The high definition camera used to take this photo was incredible with regards to its capability of focusing in on a given subject within the picture. When you look at the crowd of people in the photo, move your cursor over an area of the crowd and keep clicking your mouse repeatedly to view the high definition capabilities of the camera.

I am sure that NASA has cameras on its probes that are technically equivalent or better in comparison to the camera that took the photo of the crowded street. Why is it that NASA cannot provide us with close up pictures of the Apollo sites on the moon? They obviously have the technologically advanced camera equipment to do this?

Next, take a look at the photo below. This photograph was recently taken by NASA. It shows the Apollo 17 landing site and what NASA claims are the astronauts’ foot prints that were left in the soft, lunar soil. They are the darker pathways visible in the photograph. You can also see the tire tracks that were made by the Lunar Rover vehicle(LRV). These tracks are the lighter ones in comparison to the astronauts’ footprints, but also quite visible in the photo. You will notice that the astronauts parked the LRV far away from the remains of the Lunar Module or the Lunar Descent Stage portion of the craft that was left behind when Apollo 17 returned to Earth. The location of the parked LRV is positioned about 4:00 near the edge of the photo. I have a question for NASA officials about the location of the parked LRV. How did the astronauts walk back to the Lunar Module after they parked the LRV so far away from the space craft? As you will clearly see in the photograph, there exists no footprints visible in the soft, lunar soil between the parked LRV and the Lunar Module?

The images that have been provided by NASA, in my opinion, are not going to settle the issue, in the minds of many skeptics, about whether or not Apollo really reached the moon.

Made in China: Jade Rabbit Rover Heads to the Moon

On December 2, 2013, China launched a rocket into deep space that was carrying a lunar, robotic device designed to crawl along the moon’s surface. According to mainstream media sources, China’s lunar robot, Jade Rabbit, is somewhat similar to the models used by NASA to explore the planet Mars.

As is always the case with deep space journeys sponsored by the world’s space agencies, the missions are quite limited with respect to their intended objectives. What I mean by that last sentence is that any space missions that have the ultimate ambition of leaving the comfy confines of Low Earth Orbits (LEO’s) will most assuredly be unmanned expeditions. The reason for this fact is pretty damn obvious. Unfortunately, nobody in the mainstream media seems to have the guts or the editorial permissions to write about the truth regarding space exploration. The truth be told, every space agency in the world most likely lacks the technological capabilities to properly construct space ships that can protect astronauts from the dangers that are inherently present in deep space. This is why they continuously send robotic rovers to the moon and Mars instead of men.

If it were truly possible to send human beings through the Van Allen Belts into deep space where a plethora of lethal micrometeorites, cosmic rays, and other problems that constantly challenge the lives of astronauts exist, we would, undoubtedly, see such missions taking place on a regular basis. In fact, this is the exact reason we do not see manned missions in deep space.

Since the Apollo missions occurred in the late 60’s and early 70’s, there have been zero manned missions executed in deep space by any government space agencies. Why have there not been other missions to the moon? Are we supposed to believe that countries such as Russia and China have not had an interest in deep space travel?

The official lines of disinformation routinely thrown around by NASA that claim human beings had the technological capability to travel to the moon forty years ago and then decided it was too expensive to continue the practice is absolutely preposterous. In the last 40 years there has not been one mission by any country that has attempted to send an astronaut on a voyage that even orbited the moon. Sure, we sent men to the moon, a strategic military destination that overlooks Earth, and then decided we would never go back again. This makes perfect sense and should raise no eyebrows whatsoever.

Can you think of any technologies that have been achieved, discovered, invented, or come to fruition that have not been significantly advanced since their inception? Automobiles, telephones, televisions, airplanes, radios, computers, military weapons, video games, and any other technologies you can possibly think of have all been significantly improved and made more effective than when they were originally designed.

Whatever happened to NASA’s Lunar Module technology? Why haven’t we seen this piece of equipment improved and used in newer missions to the moon? And what about NASA’s space suit technology? Has it been improved to the point where it can actually protect astronauts from the hazards encountered in deep space? There are countless accusations by many people that claim the Apollo space suits were inadequately designed and quite incapable of protecting astronauts from cosmic radiation during the lunar missions. Why hasn’t NASA proved the effectiveness of these garments? They could easily settle the debate by allowing scientists to use the suits to protect workers that are currently attempting to clean up the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant disaster? Certainly, a space suit that protected astronauts from deadly cosmic radiation on their way to the moon could be useful in protecting workers cleaning up a facility like Fukushima? Such a demonstration would go a long way in convincing skeptics about the effectiveness of the technology with respect to its ability to protect a person against radioactivity.

The fact that we continue to send robotic equipment instead of human beings on missions that venture past the Van Allen Belts is a telltale sign that man has probably never achieved successful deep space travel or been to the moon with Apollo.

The Rocket’s Red Glare…Probably Won’t Get You There!

 reizer3On November 19, 2013, I watched the Eastern Carolina skies with great anticipation as NASA launched an impressive Minotaur rocket into space that was carrying a record number of 29 satellites. As that rocket raced through the earth’s atmosphere, people along the East Coast of the United States from Maine to Florida, and as far inland as Kentucky and Tennessee, were able to see the spacecraft as it made its way into orbit. It was quite a spectacular show for many people that were not precluded from viewing the experience due to excessive cloud cover.

I have to admit that it was a very memorable moment for me, standing outside watching a rocket hurtling towards the heavens. It was the kind of event that you remember for the rest of your life.

Years ago, as a young child, I remember watching another spectacular event that became permanently etched in my mind. I remember watching Neil Armstrong on a live television feed originating from the moon. My eyes were glued to the TV screen as he descended the steps of the Lunar Module and firmly planted the first human foot print on our satellite. It was quite a memorable moment for many people all over the world.

Forty-four years later I find myself doubting the authenticity of this alleged achievement by our nation’s space agency. On numerous occasions I have read many opinions regarding the subject of a possible Apollo, moon hoax. For the longest time I never paid much attention to theories that cast doubt about the authenticity of NASA’s Apollo program. Not until 12 years ago did I come to the conclusion that America and its citizens had been, yet again, deceived by the powers that be.

It was shortly after September 11, 2001 when I first came across a unique book titled, Dark Moon: Apollo and the Whistle-blowers. In my opinion, the authors, Mary Bennett and David S. Percy, performed a fantastic job in dissecting and pointing out countless anomalies within the pictures that had been supposedly taken by astronauts while visiting the moon. After reading this book over and over again, there was no other conclusion I could come to other than the fact that the Apollo moon pictures had obviously been filmed somewhere on earth.

Bennett and Percy went way beyond pointing out the errors that were captured on film that proved the lunar photographs were not created on the moon. The authors spent lengthy amounts of time interviewing the camera makers and film companies that supplied Apollo with their equipment. They methodically demonstrated how the film allegedly used on these missions could not and would not have worked in deep space let alone on the lunar surface.

I am not going to go through all 568 pages of the book’s text and photography in this article. I will leave that chore to my readers. I will write, however, that reading this monster is well worth your time if you have a true desire to know the truth about Apollo.

Bennett and Percy do not make the claim that astronauts never visited the moon. They do, however, lay out a most convincing argument that NASA never went to the moon via Apollo.

Perhaps the most convincing part of the authors’ argument against the integrity of Apollo was revealed through the mounds of information they provided in their book about rocket technology and the presence of deadly, cosmic radiation that exists throughout the parameters of deep space. They reported that in order to achieve deep space travel, human beings need constant protection from cosmic radiation and that the space suits that were worn in the late 60’s and early 70’s by our astronauts did not offer the adequate protection those human beings would have required on a journey to the moon. They also made an ironclad argument that the Apollo rocket technology could not have offered astronauts the protection that would have been necessary to survive deep space missions. Bennett and Percy maintain that Apollo and its “astronots” never left the lower portions of the Earth’s orbit. This is why, according to the authors, NASA prescribed the space shuttle missions for so many years.

NASA’s real goal with the space shuttle program was to, ultimately, study the Van Allen Belts that protect Earth and its astronauts in low earth orbits (LEO’s) from radiation. LEO’s are where the space shuttle and other missions in outer (inner) space are carried out by the American Space Agency. In LEO’s, astronauts and their spacecrafts are still, very much, protected from cosmic radiation. According to Bennett and Percy, the Van Allen Belts were still, in 1999, an obstacle that NASA had not managed to solve.

Finally, Bennett and Percy wrote in their book about spinning disk technologies. Their claim was that this method of travel was necessary to successfully carry out manned, deep space missions. The authors pointed out that the rapid turning of a disk shaped space craft would potentially create a magnetic shield around a particular spaceship and protect its occupants from deadly, cosmic radiation. The best example of this spinning disk technology at work, they explained, was our spinning Earth. Its constant spinning action creates an atmosphere and an environment that shields human beings and life on the planet from cosmic radiation.

Evidently, as far as the moon and deep space are concerned, rockets and their red glare won’t get you there. But those rockets sure are pretty to look at and quite successful in launching men into LEO’s and unmanned crafts into deep space.

The Apollo Space Program: Astronauts or Astronots?

On July 20, 1969, NASA’s Lunar Module (Eagle) touched down on the surface of our moon and astronaut, Neil Armstrong took one small step for man and one giant leap for mankind. Television anchor, Walter Cronkite kept Americans informed of the latest mission developments as human beings, for the first time ever, walked on the surface of a celestial body other than Earth.

But did it really happen the way we’ve been led to believe? Does the photographic record of NASA’s Apollo Program represent the truth? Did men visit the lunar surface, scoop up moon rocks, and return to Earth with those trophies?

Authors Mary Bennett and David S. Percy, in their book “Dark Moon: Apollo and the Whistle-Blowers” convincingly explain the theory that NASA faked the moon landings throughout the Apollo program because they didn’t want the public to see what was really happening on the lunar surface. They also contend that NASA had serious challenges with escaping the earth’s radiation belts and, to this day, still do. This particular obstacle has precluded manned, deep space missions from taking place and was the real reason the space shuttle missions were designed. According to Bennett and Percy, NASA’s been trying to solve the radiation problems for years during shuttle missions.

Bennett and Percy believe that the United States did manage to successfully send two astronauts to the moon that unfortunately died from radiation poisoning before completing the journey back to earth. That mission was performed in private while the faked Apollo missions were filmed in studios and later broadcast as if they were live television feeds coming from the moon. The authors say that even the people working at mission control believed the Apollo transmissions were coming from the moon. Only a few people knew the truth.

Some of the alternative theories that challenge NASA’s historical record have been addressed by the space agency. NASA officials claim that when the astronauts visited the moon, they left reflective mirrors near the landing sites and that scientists on earth have been bouncing lasers off those mirrors for 43 years.

Bennett and Percy argue that the reflective mirrors only prove that someone went to the moon. They don’t prove Apollo delivered the astronauts to the lunar surface.

In July, 2009, NASA released photographs of the supposed landing sites for each of the Apollo missions that were taken by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. Critics, that have viewed the photos, claim the images could have been digitally edited. The photos, unfortunately, have poor resolution making it hard to view important details that would positively identify the remaining portions of the lunar module’s descent stage. Critics have also questioned why NASA, with its highly sophisticated cameras, hasn’t produced close-ups of the landing sites.

In 1994, NASA’s Clementine spacecraft photographed the entire surface of the moon and, in doing so, discovered what appeared to be large artificial buildings on the lunar surface. These photographs appeared to be obfuscated by sophisticated techniques but the artificial structures were still positively identified by Steve Skipper and published on his website, www.marsanomalyresearch.com.

After looking at the obfuscated lunar pictures from Clementine, it’s hard for some people to trust the integrity of the photos, offered by NASA, showing the Apollo landing sites.

It’s hard to imagine that a government agency might not have been completely transparent when discussing the Apollo program with its citizens. Of course many Americans don’t buy into any conspiracy theories whatsoever. To do so would be much too painful for them. Only NASA knows for sure what transpired 43 years ago. Was it, in fact, a giant leap for mankind or just a giant lie?
