Its all in the wrist action.  :biggrin:

Some years ago when working on the house, I had to move a 1 foot square by 5 foot long stone block from the back door where it was first built (in 1874) to a new back door that I had built the footings for. Done in a confined space (the excavation for the foundations [about 4 feet deep]) and did it with a collection of large pieces of hardwood, balance, levers and a lot of gut busting.

Its a mistake to assume that people in the past were dumb, they knew how to do many things that are not common these days. I have seen the example of workers in the Cairo museum moving around massive statues with bits of wood and leverage.

Moldova, eh? Yes, I know they're not Russians, and believe me, I am not anti-Russian. But let's just remember what shitty "science" they did back in the day; can you say "Lysenko"? So no, not convincing at all.

Well, I dunno about those cuckoo theories about Apollo, but the material on Stanley Kubrick is fascinating. He really was that obsessive about detail.

Jack,

I have the advantage of having been around back when NASA first sent men to the moon and when what was recorded was done on FILM, not modern digital. We saw the footage from Cape Kanaveral with the rocket taking off, the news tracked it and we saw the first footage of a man on the moon.

I have heard a lot of bullsh*t about no stars in the background but these donkeys forget that FILM does not have the dynamic range in such bright sunlight (like it is on the moon with no atmosphere) and to get the right exposure for the direct sun lit surface, you can forget the blackness of space and stars in the background.

For 1960s technology, it was impressive stuff, particularly when the technology to "fake it" having not existed back then. If you ever have a good look at the Japanese moon explorer, JAXA, you get to see the landing sites, vehicle tracks and bits left behind.

hutch, the rockets I was referring to were the the missiles that NASA launched to the moon supposedly to determine if there was water on/in the moon, not the Apollo rockets

Rocket, missile.. whatever it's name is (eg Apollo). Very much the same thing.
Only problem seems to be, is getting the rocket back to the blue ball 'safely'.. that's where the narrative falls apart.

In any event we're about to find out the real story in the next year or two = exciting times.  :thumbsup:
