Apollo 11 Launch at 500 Frames per Second
This amazing video by Spacecraft Films shows the July 16, 1969 launch of the Apollo 11 mission that landed the first humans on the moon. The camera was rolling at a whopping 500 frames per second, allowing the first 30 seconds of the launch to be slowed down into this 8-minute narrated video of pure awesomeness.

okay Khadgars, a challenge. please compare these two images:
the official nasa one:
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7...
http://i44.tinypic.com/2luutt0.jpg
and
exactly the same image, but i have altered the colours and contrast. it becomes EXTREMELY OBVIOUS that the dark sky has been altered.
why did they need to do this?
what were they blocking out?

and exactly the same image, but i have altered the colours and contrast only. it becomes EXTREMELY OBVIOUS that the dark sky has been altered. if you don't believe me go back to the original one and you can see it once you know what you are looking for…

Apologies to all the sane people out there for this rant, but…
Now that we actually have a spacecraft in orbit around the moon with a good enough camera…hey, there are the descent stages of the landers, right where NASA's always said they were.

But, no you're right, 'trillion' – the landings were faked because you found a jpg (!) copy of a moon image on wikipedia (a highly compressed and possibly processed version of the original) and changed the colors. Find the original image, repeat your 'processing,' and if the dark sky still looks 'altered,' prove to me that the camera detector electronics and processing software couldn't have created the artifacts that you are so excited about. Then maybe I'll care, and you can tell me your methods and I'll try to replicate them. That's how science works – if you're going to make a claim, the burden of proof is on you.
Or, if that sounds like too much work for you, see if you can film a scene where everything obeys the laws of physics under 1/6 Earth's gravity, like those fakers at NASA did using 1960s technology. Don't forget to make sure any dust grains you kick up follow the right trajectories as they fall back to the surface (no air resistance, either!). Good luck with that one!
There is not a shred of evidence that the landings did not take place. Every argument the conspiracy theorists have put forth has been disproved ad nauseum, because they are based on willful ignorance rather than logic.
haha, funny. i wasnt implying the photo wasnt taken on the moon. i don't deny that. all i'm saying is the photo has been altered. you can even see it in the original, i just enhanced it by altering the colour sliders, then the contrast… as you can see the are not random lines, pixels or noise, they are carefully doctored strokes which go around the flag… on another note – the original pic looks like it has been hand colour, like a hand colours black n white photo, you can see it spilling over the edge around the top of the craft…
my conclusion: if nasa didnt want debunkers, then they would do a better job with images like this. which makes me wonder if nasa really loves this kind of arguing that is going on in places like this forum?
That was really cool slowing down the launch to see what is actually occurring. Does anyone have any further reading on this launch?
As for the conspiracy theories, its really easy to get sucked into them and believe any nut who's stories actually lead to something greater. It's definitely not a bad thing to question things but keep neutral it reflects better on your intellect in logic and reasoning.

I don't see how stuffing reactive/nuclear matter into rocks can't be done in science labs. The USA would have this sort of technology and scientific ability by that time because of the incoming threat of another massive war on their hands from the USSR/Russia that has already scared the USA enough to lead them to produce more tactical/destructive weapons or technology to prepare for more conflict.
sweet, the first 6 minutes is worth watching, the last 2 not so much
“you really think that a conspiracy that would have HAD to have taken thousands to pull off successfully could keep secret under international scrutiny?”
Two words.
“Manhatten Project”
Ben Rich “…anything you can imagine we already know how to do.”
Anything except persuade conspiracy theorists that their pet delusion is just that, a delusion, of course…
Ever heard of JPEG compression? That's the answer mate.
WoW… Amazing Video, I like it.
Nobody went to the fucking moon! We have never seen that fucking flag they stuck into the ground ever again. The Hubble telescope can peer hundred of light years in all directions. Why not point it at the fucking moon and show us the damned flag? It ought to still be there. Unless some fucking aliens stole it.
we went to the moon. Dont know why you dont want to belive it, but get over it. the government wouldnt have spent billions of dollars on a conspiracy, would they? I know that the government's crazy, but not that much
Stunning Post
Thanks

Nice try, Brett. The Manhatten Project was not a secret. The Soviets were well aware what was going on, and when Truman told Stalin about the bomb at Potsdam, Stalin didn't even bat an eye.
