Just think....hundreds of years from now, some explorer on Mars will stumble upon the wreckage of that car & be thoroughly confused :lol:

Indeed, the most amazing thing about the "Moon Landing" is that CGI wasn't around in those days!
Fortunately for us, the 'smoke & mirrors' part of it was ably demonstrated in the acclaimed feature film Capricorn One directed by Peter Hyams :wink:
That Falcon Heavy tripe is surely Game footage? :facepalm:


I read online the other day that the aforementioned excellent Capricorn One expose was in fact also a complete sham and that that everybody in it was acting, not just those pretending to be astronauts! Worse still, the "set" that they used for the moon surface was actually built inside a real life film studio.

Just goes to show you can't trust anything you see anymore, I don't trust that re-entry and landing footage for a start, how do we know the rockets weren't filmed taking off and then just broadcast backwards? :whistle:

This was the best amateur video I found, it was shot with an 8" telescope, you even get to see the deceleration burns.

SpaceX has successfully launched rockets for the last two years and they are the only opportunity for NASA to fly into open space now. I know they have a plan for sending people to Moon and lots of signed contracts with different companies - but the first launch is gonna be in 2013 and yet there are not suitable rockets for that, exact SpaceX.
Sorry but I cannot resist a comment - as it's nice to see that "Space Karen" now seems to have mastered time-travel as well!! :wink: :innocent:
