Debunking Apollo 11 Fake Window cutout claim 

Yes same here👍

Debunking lol

Exactly the same feelings. I love what they're doing but I simply can't take it. There desperately needs to be balance aka just a small amount of idiocy from the flerfs and deniers, but more explaining. Listening to the unscientific and illogical nonsense that the conspiracy theorists propagate is extremely draining because of how stupid it is. It genuinely enrages me. I really hope that Sci Man Dan ends up giving more thorough debunkings because I love the topics he covers and I love his humour, but the theorists annoy me so much that I always need to pause the video to explain out loud why they're wrong.

Well said. "Debunking" doesn't work anyway, because the village idiots will never and would never accept anything that contradicts their nonsense. The fools just move the goalposts in the hopes they can somehow bamboozle other gullible village idiots. I see these vids more as entertainment with educational value for people interested in photography and film technology.

@@manslaughter3180 do u have a picture of earth with satellites around it

Further, the astronomers tracking Apollo 13 found the dot they were observing turn into a fuzzy ball at the exact time 13 had an explosion and outgassed thus confirming that something had happened .

And those are just the American sources. People all across the world were tracking the Apollo launches, including a nation known as the Soviet Union who would have very much loved exposing NASA as frauds.

@@robdavison3828 People who believe in these conspiracy theories believe that everyone who provides independent observations are in on it and paid actors

These conspiracy theorists believe even Russia is in on it, so I don't think you can convince them any American is independent from NASA

@@robdavison3828i remember reading about that in sky & telescope.

Yes. NASA is Schroedinger's Conspiracy Org; simultaneously Machiavellian enough to craft a hoax so complete most people believe it, but simultaneously so stupid that a taxicab driver with a camera can deboonk them.

According to the moon-landing deniers (is there a term for them... I mean, other than "idiot"?): NASA's plan to fake the footage: "Turn off the camera." What actually happened according to the deniers: "The Apollo 11 crew did not switch off the camera. Ground control saw this but did not tell Apollo 11. They also recorded the footage. They also published the footage." _Yeah... right._

Yup, the same people who are allegedly maintaining a millennium spanning, world wide conspiracy through carefully curating information people have access make all these bumbling mistakes that experts miss but ignorant science drop outs are keen to. Smh. Peak arrogance and delusion.

...AND they forgot to erase the tape before broadcasting it to everyone...

Don't you know? NASA have the most cutting edge CGI artists you've ever seen, and have done since before CGI even remotely looked good enough to cut it, who regularly forget to remove the wires and bubbles from their videos and photos. Who make absolute rookie mistakes constantly leaving in things they should have cut out in order to cover up the conspiracy. Who can put a tin can full of folks into low earth orbit, but can't then push that thing into low lunar orbit. Etc etc etc... /s obviously

A common refrain on debunking channels is the question: Why are you even giving these theories attention? And the answer is that these theories encourage sloppy thinking. The best debunks desloppify (so to speak) such thinking, and Dave’s stuff is right at the top of that.

@@Bnio Actual flat flat Earthers that really believe it are a very special kind of stupid. Beyond stupid. I reckon their "thinking" is pretty much undesloppifiable. I know there's been the odd success in turning some, but I wonder if they were ever really flat Earthers, or did they just think there may be more money in flat Earth debunking channels.

@@Bnio Explain how Neil Armstrong states that the only window with a view to the earth is filled up with the tv camera? Nobody can debunk that piece of information. That information is vital to the argument this channel presents. Neil Armstrong clearly states that the only window that has earth visible has a tv camera completely filling it up. Oops. I suppose that why this channel completely leaves that portion out his argument.

@@rilenixxThe TV camera INSIDE the spacecraft is a PORTABLE device. When they were using it to take a picture of the earth, they were holding it up close to the window and it blocked the window. And that's when Neil made that comment. But they simply moved it back out of the way later in that same broadcast. It's not like it was permenantly fixed in the window, always blocking the astronaut's view.

@@mikefochtman7164 If that is what you choose to believe that is your right. Fifty years ago and NASA claims to send man through space almost half a million miles and back. 2024 and NASA can only put man nearly 358 miles above Earth. If that doesn't make you pause and wonder what will? How about the computer they used in 1969. 72 KB of ROM. How can anybody believe this fish tory. We are not talking about RAM but ROM. A computer less powerful than what calculators in he 1980s possessed. But people choose to believe the lies. How much money NASA pocketed is astronomical. They stole from American tax payers and got away wit it because people do not want to accept they were duped.

and they're apparently quite comfortable with the idea of a vehicle orbiting (!) a flat earth.

Cherrypicking and cognitive dissonance is part and parcel of the Flerfer mindset. @@RozzmanLists

@@RozzmanListsWell these guys aren’t flerfs. They are moon hoaxers that flerfs have decided to reference their movie without actually thinking about what it says. All they care about is that it says the picture was staged nothing more.

That’s the only conclusion a person coming in completely ignorant about the moon landings, flat earth and all the theories: The theories are wildly inconsistent while the history of the moon landings, for example, is super solid.

You can always rely on conspiracy nuts to contradict themselves. It's about the only consistency they have.

Well said

He tells you what you want to hear. You won’t accept a decade earlier operation Fishbowl and Dominic proved something much bigger. You’re to damn lazy to investigate on your own. Wernher von Braun’s tomb stone.

Great story! I watched the Apollo missions from Miami but my family's two visits to Kennedy Space Center were between missions and I never got to see a Saturn V on the pad or launched. Good for you to fly the LM simulator. Do you happen to remember the name of the simulation supervisor during the Apollo days? I got to interview Robert Pearson in 2019 in the run up to the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11 but he died soon after. He trained all the Apollo astronauts on the lunar landings at KSC and had to power up and calibrate the LM simulator each day before the astronauts entered. He said; "I landed more times on the surface of the moon than anyone else! Even if they were just simulations".

Wow! Getting to fly the LM sim! That’s awesome! I’ll bet that was fun!

@@aerospacematt9147 It was amazing, but I was 10 or something, so I didn't get to mess with it much. It works better as a memory than it did as an experience. ;) Even better was that they had a complete capsule sitting there, as a trainer, and I got to sit in the seat and look at the hundreds of knobs and dials. It wasn't turned on, but it was still the greatest place I've ever sat in my life. Neil Armstrong sat there! :D

By paying no attention to the man behind the curtain? You should never ask why to these folks. It'll just leave you with a headache.

@@stephanweinberger they do. What they're saying is that relative to single point on the face of the Earth, the moon appears to go around us once every 24 hours (roughly) but a ship in LEO would do so every 90 minutes. Or approximately 16 times in that same period. So multiple times during that day the ship in LEO would be on the wrong side of the planet to the moon, thus making impossible for all the people watching who weren't NASA to not notice the fact the signal, not only wasn't coming from the direction of the moon, but from entirely the wrong side of the planet several times a day for the duration of the mission. Including countless regular joe's tracking this stuff in their backyard all the way to Russia, who would have taken any opportunity to point out a lie here and claim superiority in the space race.

@@tyrannicpuppy I was confused by @skmiller94's last sentence and thought he's in the hoax camp. I think he meant to write 'How do they explain +no+ ground stations on the "far side" of the planet receiving signals' (like they would have every 90 minutes, if the mission was faked in LEO).

@@stephanweinberger All good. It can often be hard to tell legit loons from sensible people being sarcastic in the comments on such topics. We often forget the little /s tag or word a legitimate response a little poorly. Or we just misread a thing. I do that a LOT. Stupid faulty brain, lol.

@@stephanweinberger Yep. Poorly worded on my part. "They" in my last sentence was NASA. What I was meaning to say is: If the conspiracy claim is correct - that the spacecraft was in LOE and not heading to the moon - then ground stations on the opposite side of the Earth (from the moon) should receive signals every 90 minutes. With many other countries and amateurs also listening in, NASA would have had to explain why those stations received signals from a spacecraft going to the moon. Of course, they didn't have to explain because no one received such signals, because the spacecraft was not in LEO. Your rewording of my comment, though, is still much clearer and conveys the same intent!!

To be fair - none of us really know what a moon capable rocket should look like - even me and I am quite aware of many things aeronautic - flown a biplane, a helicopter, been up close and personal with several fast jets and guys that fly them. My career choices took me in different directions but I always kept up an interest in Space Stuff! Can remember comments from the time about the LEM - how flimsy it appeared and all the reasons why - all from people who should've known more than me. However; conspiracy has become a business and the Interweb has given it wings.

@@alanclark639 The scientists who built that rocket would have known if the rocket WASN'T capable. They would have known they were building a fake rocket

Exactly. And that also kills their claims that the LM doesn't look like they think it should. It was made by Grumman. Either they were in on it and made it look "bad" or they built a craft capable of landing on the Moon and their complaints are about the loose external insulative covering over the structure.

@@frenat I can actually explain why the LM looks the way it does in terms of loose external insulation. The answer is simple. The typlical heat shielding application at that time was far too heaving. So they used a few layers of mylar film and kapton foil. They didn't need all this great shielding because unline the CSM it didn't need to reenter and it had a significantly higher powered glycol pump and different coolant solutions than the CSM. Instead of an radiator glycol evaporator system it used a sublimator instead. It's whole coolant operation is actually significantly better than the CSM. Had it been in the CM shell it would have exceeded the cooling specs and froze. Additionally, the LM did not have to be active during trans lunar coast. So the shielding is not that important because it's not always being hit by the sun like the CSM counterpart. Heck, even the CSM could barely stand it and needed to do a PTC. The LM would remain unpowered for trans lunar coast in all missions because of how power demanding the cooling operation would be in trans lunar coast. The cooling just by being around the moon is so effective that the CSM has to switch from the radiators and PTC to an evaporator and a heat exchange system to actually warm up the radiators otherwise it would just freeze.

There have been conspiracy theorists claiming not going to the moon since _at least_ as early as the mid to late 70's. The difference is they always admitted that we had the tech in order to go (since they lived through it all and seen it all happening at the time), they just claimed that we did not actually go. Also the thing is that some of their arguments could easily fool some people more readily back then, as not everything was so readily available like it is with todays tech and internet we have today to easily debunk their claims. EXCEPT they also from time to time had news channels mentioning and debunking some of it. And they also did an entire documentary (around 1980 or so) to show that it would have been impossible to fake a moon landing and impossible to have filmed the video done on Moon anywhere on Earth at all. It debunked each and every single conspiracy claim. Dave even briefly mentioned about this documentary in his last video on this, mentioning how they showed it would have been impossible to film Moon video here on Earth. The funny thing is that since that documentary, I have not heard a single new claim since then. It is always all the same old rubbish that has been debunked now for decades, except a few rare outright lies here n there. But some idiot on YT sees some claim on how it was faked without realizing that has been debunked already decades ago. Anyway the point is you can have some that admit we had the tech to actually go to the moon, just that it was too risky and so we faked actually going. Any one that spends any adequate amount of time researching the tech, will have to admit that it was capable. But just because we could does not mean we did. Of course looking at all other evidence, clearly we did, but just saying there was no need to keep a big secret from the builders and everyone involved. Just would have needed to be a secret with a select few and those directly involved such as astronauts and other few key people.

That's the point of the conspiracy claim - it's directed specifically at stupid people, because they are the easiest one to deceive and be convinced to part with their money.

Cognitive dissonance is a heck of a drug

All evidence indicates a person would have to be *intentionally stupid* to believe anything else.

@@reidflemingworldstoughestm1394 Do you have any actual evidence? Or just insults?

@allthings Did you watch the video?

And yet they claim to understand perfectly how the magical P1000 can "pull objects back" from over the horizon.

@@ChrisHinton1967 is that why they are so intent on that camera? I’m a amateur photographer so know a little bit about cameras and have always wondered why that’s their camera of choice.

@@kdhander Because it's a (comparably) easily affordable, 'high quality' camera any rando can purchase without being uber deep into photography stuff. That's literally it. It's not some $50, drug-store-dark-room-film-disposable camera for tourists, nor is it some $5k rig that requires fifty pounds of gear.

@@5peciesunkn0wn I bought my wife a Rebel for that reason. Every couple years I get her a newer version. Makes getting upgrades a lot easier since I don't know anything cameras.

@@kdhander Flerfer Grifters noticed that, because of it's incredible zoom range, they could find something like a buoy, zoom wide enough it becomes too small to see, then zoom in so it "magically" reappears. Thus was born the "pull back over the horizon" scam.

Please do, it's quite entertaining watching you perpetrating lies that you wholeheartedly believe in

​@killerwolf7676 , did you actually watch his videos? Because if you did and you still believe what he said is a lie, then there is no helping you. As they say, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink.

@@martinbaxter4783yes Dave please continue telling us we want to hear because the truth is something we won’t accept.

​@@whiskeykilo2h429 truth? LOL, it's science, backed up by mountains of hard evidence, and these things called facts. You might have heard of them? You know, those things you don't understand, so can't accept. Do try to actually watch Dave's videos, pay attention to them, and even take notes if necessary. You might even learn something if you do.

That's one of the clearest signs. If someone isn't willing to demonstrate their own explanation of how something occurs then it usually can be discounted because they either _have done it_ and noticed it didn't work the way they described or aren't knowledgeable enough to be able to recreate it so don't know if it actually is a viable explanation or not.

Maybe they did try to reproduce it and didn't get the result they had concluded to get. And then _accidentally_ lost the footage. 😏

@@simond.455 That is indeed an "interesting" possibility.

​@simond.455 , that has basically happened twice before. There were some flay earthers trying to prove the earth was flat, except all their data ended up being exactly what it should have been if it was a globe. They just dismissed it completely. Luckily for us, it was all caught on a documentary that anyone can watch.

Well on my channel I demonstrated how to film something outside an aircraft by placing the camera lens next to the window and adjusting the shutter until a good image was captured, I certainly would not have held the camera at a distance from the window as that would massively restrict what could be seen.

that photo captured two light sources. two 90 degrees shadows. its irrefutable evidence. the shade is opposite to the light source. any 5 year old know that.

100%. It's such an informative channel. Not sure anymore how I found it, but I am so glad I did. I've learned so much.

I just don't understand how the film didn't get fogged from the radiation since the cameras never had radiation protection.

@@Sarah34438what radiation do you think they were subjected to?

what film are you talking about, here@@Sarah34438

See how easy it is to sucker people. You all got suckered.

No amount of lens distortion could ever hope to correct the perspectives though. It's impossible to fudge that shot without compositing images.

Although that might be a little more convincing than a cut out, you'd still have the problem that earth subtends an angle of about 170⁰ from LEO, so for it to appear as a small disc in the middle of the frame, the lens would need an angle of view of about 300⁰! Also, the perspective would be all wrong because you'd only be viewing about 1000km of the earth from left to right, rather than almost the whole hemisphere. By acknowledging that the camera is showing the actual earth (and not, say, a picture of it stuck to the window), the idiot who made the documentary dug his own grave, because the _only_ way it could appear as it does in the footage is with the spacecraft much further from earth than LEO would allow for.

@@PeteC62are you kidding? LEO would never allow any of this, he’d call it “tosh” and “pantomime” and assume that made his argument convincing. Oh, wait, you meant something different by “LEO” didn’t you?

They always seem to make it out like everything “faked” on these missions was haphazardly put together with makeshift “deceptions” where stupid mistakes where made for them to “figure it out”, but then they make it seem like so much complex planning went into every detail and perfect mass manipulation. It’s always with these type of people that these conspiracies are created by bumbling idiots, but these idiots have all the power and the smartest people in the world on their side, kind of like how fascists always believe that “the enemy is always weak and inferior, but are strong enough to control the world”. They think NASA have this unbelievable magnitude of power to stage all of this, but then they say “they forgot they were recording” or “they didn’t take into account that the flag was waiving” or “the reflections don’t LOOK right here” or any other thing that would be an obvious mistake if they were faking it. They would have needed to photoshop every image, create perfect replicas with perfect physics to make it seem like they were on the moon accounting for every little shadow, angle, shit ton of work to set up a “fake moon” in an massive studio while hiding the studio crew while taking 360 degree photos and videos, and every little detail that could give it away even down to somehow perfectly simulating moon dust in a vacuum in low gravity, and also have the power to silence 100,000’s of people that worked on it, build the worlds largest rockets and actually launched them where everybody could see and somehow hid every part of the rocket with trackable radio signatures after it launched which would have still cost billions even if they didn’t go past LEO. They never consider if maybe they don’t know enough about what they’re talking about, or never think their ideas through besides what LOOKS wrong to them. There are real conspiracies out there, countless examples of governments doing fucked up things and covered up - and if you know anything about them you would know how difficult it is to cover up or fake any operation involving more than 1000 or even a 100 people

​@@joeschmo3844Haha, yeah that particular LEO is a lost cause, I'm afraid.

Look at it this way. If they're stupid enough to believe the Earth is flat, they're stupid enough to believe or claim anything.

The conspirators have to be staggeringly brilliant, and dismally stupid, at the same time. In addition, they have unlimited resources, and yet always cut corners.

It this was done by flat earthers, they've made a massive self own: claiming that filming was done in low earth orbit 😉

Remember: All the lunar film work was faked by Stan Kubrick and was done was so masterfully and with such a massive budget and absolute op-sec that it fooled everyone on the planet, but had so many flaws that even people with no experience in photography, cinematography, physics, or any other science can poke such certain holes in it.

@@gunnern1 No, some of the other commenters note that this guy is not actually a Flat Earther, just an Apollo denier. One belief does not require the other, I guess.

They’ll deny it happened like the Virgin Galactic trips, e.g. “it’s just TV monitors behind the windows “…

@@rilenixx “ that information is vital” As opposed to the mountains and mountains of physical evidence that 6 missions landed humans on the moon. All of that PHYSICAL/SCIENTIFIC falsifiable evidence would just _disappear_ if old Neil had said something about a window? (I haven’t a clue about that BTW, but it’s irrelevant to my point)

@@tubecated_development Mountains of evidence? You have to be joking. I wonder why the astronauts couldn't jump six times higher on the moon? They jumped the same distance as they would on earth. Or why the dirt being kicked up by the wheels of the rover reacts exactly how it would on earth. Certainly the dirt would kick up six times higher as well. Or how when you speed up the astronauts walking on the moon to double speed you can clearly see them hopping along normally on purpose as they were directed to do. At double speed they are behaving in the same exact manner a person on earth would behave. There is no 1/6 gravity ever shown on any moon walk. You can't dispute that. If you try you will only look foolish. Fifty years has passed and technology has developed quantum computers. Yet no manned mission to the moon. You believe that NASA sent three men to the moon using a 4 KB rom computer? Now that is less powerful than a calculator. I am sure you will respond with the same excuses NASA tells everybody. If so just don't respond. It really is not that difficult to use your eyes and see that the men claiming to be walking on the moon are not.

​@@rilenixx I don't know of any comments like that from Armstrong. Without being able to investigate it myself, I have to assume that you are most likely misconstruing it in some way. Even if you aren't and Armstronf meant exactly what you claim, that just means that Armstrong was mistaken as we have clear video evidence of the Earth through the Apollo 11 window.

@@mattd6085😂 exactly! The flerfs/fake moon people can’t get their story straight at all It’s very comical to see them fail so badly 😂

I'd say the opposite. The only way these people can entertain their theories at all is by maintaining a total ignorance of the topics they're spouting off about. The moment they gained any actual understanding, their conspiracies would crumble before their eyes. (That doesn't stop them from _pretending_ to have an understanding though, of course.

​@@casanovafrankenstein4193reread what he wrote. He is pointing out that of course the camera didn't record, because portable recorders had not yet been invented. It is the clowns that made the "documentary" that claimed the camera recorded, and of course the "do your own research" types that believe that nonsense fell for it.

@@briansomething5987 Well, it's nice that some*one* got the point. I put in the stuff about the VR3000 because I thought someone would point out that portable video recording was possible in the late 60's. But you can tell from the video that it was recorded on RCA quad machines (and that the tape is falling apart). I think it was two TR-4's configured as a Doppler compensator.

Well the ones who think rockets are fake or can’t work in a vacuum never really had much of a chance to become aerospace engineers.

The woman narrator Sibrel uses sounds like the voice of the Combine Overwatch announcer in Half-Life 2.

And even better, then you'd get sued, and after the judge watched the video? The judge would ask you if *you* wanted to press charges!

Either that or they still don't understand, because they're just not smart enough. At that point several things happen. They choose not to trust the wisdom of people who are more intelligent than them & somewhat separately from that they where they reject the notion that there are vastly complicated things that are beyond their understanding & simply insert a new one where those complicated things are just fake. It's a kind of coping mechanism I guess. The denial is rampant though & it's becoming a serious issue. I mean, these days you can purchase a decent enough optical telescope that, on a clear night with a bit of luck you can see evidence of human activity on the moon. Not in massive, huge detail, but you can make things out & match them up to the NASA records. Yet you could take a denier, have them look through that telescope & see one of the Apollo sites with their own eyes & they'd still convince them self that it was a trick, there's something in the telescope projecting that fake image onto one of the prisms inside etc, etc... People are free to believe whatever they want, of course. Seems like we've got a lot of cult like movements emerging though & it's all getting a bit sinister.
