The Faux Moon Landing Theory

In this essay, the author

• Analyzes the conspiracy theories that the moon landing was an elaborate hoax staged by the national aeronautics and space administration to claim victory in the great space race.
• Explains the anomalies associated with the apollo 11 photos that support this theory. buzz aldrin's shadows should be parallel due to having one light source, but are not in many photos.
• Explains that the film used was a special transparency film produced by eastman kodak. the astronauts took thousands of pictures, most of which were awful.

• Argues that radiation from space would have killed the astronauts, so they couldn't have successfully completed the mission.
• Refutes braeunig's argument that the astronauts had to go through the van allen radiation belt but were not in the belt long enough to experience fatal radiation.
• Disagrees with dave cosnette's theory that the moon landing was faked and filmed on a set. there are more plausible explanations to the "c" in the rock of one of the pictures.
• Opines that the moon landing hoax is unlikely because the evidence for it is flimsy and easily discounted.
• Opines that the moon landing conspiracy theory is an interesting theory but it has very little merit. the evidence for the theory at face value sounds reasonable but often do not tell the truth.
• Argues that the conspiracy theory is false. the unique composition of the moon rocks discredited the theory.
