1. Apollo 14 astronaut Allen Shepard played golf on the Moon. In front of a worldwide TV audience, Mission Control teased him about slicing the ball to the right. Yet a slice is caused by uneven air flow over the ball. The Moon has no atmosphere and no air.
2. A camera panned upwards to catch Apollo 16's Lunar Landerlifting off the Moon. Who did the filming?
3. One NASA picture from Apollo 11 is looking up at Neil Armstrong about to take his giant step for mankind. The photographer must have been lying on the planet surface. If Armstrong was the first man on the Moon, then who took the shot?
4. The pressure inside a space suit was greater than inside a football. The astronauts should have been puffed out like the Michelin Man, but were seen freely bending their joints.
5. The Moon landings took place during the Cold War. Why didn't America make a signal on the moon that could be seen from earth? The PR would have been phenomenal and it could have been easily done with magnesium flares.
6. Text from pictures in the article said that only two men walked on the Moon during the Apollo 12 mission. Yet the astronaut reflected in the visor has no camera. Who took the shot?
7. The flags shadow goes behind the rock so doesn't match the dark line in the foreground, which looks like a line cord. So the shadow to the lower right of the spaceman must be the flag. Where is his shadow? And why is the flag fluttering if there is no air or wind on the moon?
8. How can the flag be brightly lit when its side is to the light? And where, in all of these shots, are the stars?
9. The Lander weighed 17 tons yet the astronauts feet seem to have made a bigger dent in the dust. The powerful booster rocket at the base of the Lunar Lander was fired to slow descent to the moons service. Yet it has left no traces of blasting on the dust underneath. It should have created a small crater, yet the booster looks like it's never been fired.
Several years after NASA claimed its first Moon landing, Buzz Aldrin "the second man on the Moon" was asked at a banquet what it felt like to step on to the lunar surface. Aldrin staggered to his feet and left the room crying uncontrollably. It would not be the last time he did this. "It strikes me he's suffering from trying to live out a very big lie," says Rene. Aldrin may also fear for his life.
Virgil Grissom, a NASA astronaut who baited the Apollo program, was due to pilot Apollo 1 as part of the landings build up. In January 1967, he hung a lemon on his Apollo capsule (in the US, unroadworthy cars are called lemons) and told his wife Betty: "If there is ever a serious accident in the space program, it's likely to be me."
Nobody knows what fuelled his fears, but by the end of the month he and his two co-pilots were dead, burnt to death during a test run when their capsule, pumped full of high pressure pure oxygen, exploded.
Scientists couldn't believe NASA's carelessness - even a chemistry students in high school know high pressure oxygen is extremely explosive. In fact, before the first manned Apollo fight even cleared the launch pad, a total of 11 would be astronauts were dead. Apart from the three who were incinerated, seven died in plane crashes and one in a car smash. Now this is a spectacular accident rate.
NASA wont respond to any of these claims, their press office will only say that the Moon landings happened and the pictures are real. But a NASA public affairs officer called Julian Scheer once delighted 200 guests at a private party with footage of astronauts apparently on a landscape. It had been made on a mission film set and was identical to what NASA claimed was they real lunar landscape. "The purpose of this film," Scheer told the enthralled group, "is to indicate that you really can fake things on the ground, almost to the point of deception." He then invited his audience to "Come to your own decision about whether or not man actually did walk on the Moon."
Fascinating......I don't believe they did it either
Would you believe I just came across a photo of me and some friends in a hire car in Florida the other day from a good few years ago. We parked just in front of a shuttle. Did a tour of the Kennedy Space Centre and were allowed on the shuttle but only allowed to view the cockpit from behind glass screens.....absolutely fascinating none the less.
To treat a wasp sting, you need to neutralize the alkaline sting by applying something that is acidic. The most obvious acidic household product is vinegar. Therefore, should you get a wasp sting, pouring vinegar over the affected area is a good way to go about relieving the pain. Lemon juice and other acidic household products will also do the trick. Be careful when looking for something that is acidic, as you don’t want to use anything that is too acidic, as it might burn your skin.
Was stood in the cinema last week and tossed a mental coin between this film and Transformers 3. The latter won the toss but the film was poor, will try get to see The Guard over the weekend with her indoors
Bayern Munich have confirmed that they have agreed terms with Manchester City for Germany international defender Jerome Boateng.
Manchester City are poised to win the race for Hicham Khaloua.
The 16-year-old striker is currently with Spanish second division side FC Cartagena, where he has excelled in their youth side.
He was set to be promoted to the first-team squad this season, but he looks like he will be moving on as Spain and England's top clubs battle for his signature.
Real Madrid, Barcelona and the big-spending Malaga were chasing him, but a move to the Premier League always appeared more likely.
Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool were all keen - but City have moved to the front of the queue after he accepted an invitation to train with them.

Sulky striker Emmanuel Adebayor is heading for a fine of about £300,000 after apparently carrying out his threat to boycott training with Manchester City’s fringe players.
The £25million 2009 signing from Arsenal launched a scathing attack on club officials over his omission from City’s tour to America and insisted he would train by himself, rather than with junior and reserve players at their Carrington base.
He duly failed to turn up, and City were trying to ensure there were no unforeseen circumstances to consider before hitting him in the pocket.They are understood to be investigating whether he is in breach of his contract, but — with another three years to run and a fee required from any club interested in signing him — it seems inconceivable they will seek to cancel it.
They will impose a fine, though, and the 27-year-old is bracing himself for losing the maximum of two weeks’ wages after seemingly ignoring an order to join other out-of-favour senior names at City’s Cheshire training headquarters.
Shay Given, Wayne Bridge, Craig Bellamy and Nedum Onuoha all checked in as instructed and were put through their paces as they awaited developments on the transfer front.
Yeah am living for it mate....made 18 games last year and managed to swing a ticket for the FA cup final beside the Royal box off a Spurs fan of all things
Genuinely worried about Liverpool this year....nice squad coming together....end of last season just came too quick for them. Can see Spurs going backwards....would be hoping we would be knocking on the door and in contention.
Sorry to piss on your chips but Etihad translated literally means "unison, union or alliance" obviously the uneducated wouldn't bother to look it up before throwing their tuppence worth in either . If it did mean "United" it wouldn't bother us blues as the red divils have been getting away with using "Manchester" in their name for most of their existence although they are outside the Manchester boundary and actually reside in the borough of Trafford no doubt.
Slightly off topic but, in the same week that City have announced their £400 Million deal with Etihad Airways and plans to regenerate the surrounding area, build the Etihad Campus and create thousands of jobs, the Rags announce even bigger news with regeneration plans of their own.
They are going to have Lou Macari's chippy re-painted.
Be great if the Tevez deal works out for all concerned. Perhaps a sell on clause would be an idea considering Levante are set to make 1,000 per cent profit on former Manchester City star Felipe Caicedo – just a month after signing him from the Blues.The striker, who was bought from Basel for £5.2m in January 2008, seemed to be heading for oblivion after falling out of the reckoning at City.
He was loaned out to Levante last season, with a one million euros fee agreed should the Spanish side want to keep him. But Caicedo’s career was re-born at Levante as he scored a club record 14 goals in 29 games to stave off relegation.
The deal stood, however and Levante paid the agreed fee and instantly suggested the bidding would begin at ten million euros.
