Apollo 13 - A Publicity Stunt

Hobo - 03 Nov 2007 20:56 GMT
By the time of the Apollo 13 Mission in April 1970, public interest in
space travel was beginning to diminish.  This could have been partly
due to most of the previous Apollo 12 Mission having to rely mainly on
an audio transmission, due to the camera malfunctions encountered. Was
this a factor in the alleged near disaster on the Apollo 13 mission?
Were NASA trying to get back the publics attention and therefore
guarantee the continued funding of the US Government?  On the 13th
hour of the 13th day of the 13th Apollo Mission, disaster struck when
an oxygen tank exploded.

The film here sees  the astronauts from the Apollo 13 just before they
transferred to the LEM, the craft is allegeded to be some 200,000
miles from Earth.  If we look out of the window we see blue sky? how
can this be if they are in deep space??? Surely the windows should be
showing black space, unless they are in near Earth orbit of course?

Take a look at the two pictures below.

http://www.ufos-aliens.co.uk/Apol13.gif
http://www.ufos-aliens.co.uk/Commandm.gif

As pointed out by Percy and Bennett in 'What happened on the Moon?',
the picture on the left shows the Odyssey after it was damaged by the
oxygen tank explosion... the one on the right shows a normal shot of a
command and service module with its cover removed from the scientific
instrument bay.

Do they look similar to you?

How could Astronaut Fred Haise state the crew aboard Apollo 13 could
see Frau Mauro? At the time of the accident, Frau Mauro, which was to
be the original landing site of the Apollo 13, was in darkness and
would remain so for the entire time that the Apollo 13 was near the
Moon. In fact it did not reappear until 88 hours after the Apollo 13
had left. By this time the Apollo would have been 19,000 miles away on
its way back to Earth, making it impossible for any of the crew to see
Frau Mauro during the mission .

Sooo you're saying the photos were faked by popping off the cover on
Apollo 13's SIM bay, right?

(I want to get an answer on record before someone tells him that the
first SIM bay flew on Apollo 15 ;-) )

At the risk of feeding said troll, I'm sure that NASA would have
preferred a fully successful Apollo 13 mission.  As it is, Pres. Nixon
IIRC, caused NASA to cancel all missions after Apollo 17, as he feared
that subsequent missions increased the odds of another serious problem
mission or fatalities.  Maybe do a few farside landings (after some form
of comm sat repeater was built and flown).  Anyway...

To expand a bit:

- The peak year for NASA budgets during the Apollo era was (I believe,
doing this from memory) 1967.  Every subsequent year was downhill,
including the FY1968 and 1969 budgets prepared by the Johnson
Administration.  Notably, these budgets cancelled orders for long-lead
items on Saturn V boosters after (again, IIRC) AS-515- which meant
that in the absence of corrective action by a later administration,
the number of Saturn boosters (and hence the number of Apollo flights)
was already limited- if all the Saturn Vs ordered at that point had
been used for lunar missions it would have taken the program to Apollo
20.

- Nixon's administration failed to reverse the Johnson cuts in FY1970
(not surprisingly, IMO, given the other constraints the government was
under at the time).  Since NASA now knew that the Saturn Vs were a
limited resource, they cancelled the Apollo 20 mission in January of
1970 (before Apollo 13, which flew in April) so that there would be a
Saturn available for Skylab.

- NASA's budget was cut again in FY1971, causing the cancellation of
Apollo 15 and 19 in September of 1970.  (Apollo 15 was originally
supposed to be an H mission, with Apollo 16 as the first J, but it was
dropped from the program and the remaining missions renumbered.)  I
believe that Deke Slayton stated in his autobiography that *in his
opinion* NASA management did not fight these cuts as hard as they
could have because they were afraid of losing the entire manned
program if an Apollo crew died on a mission to the Moon, and that may
well have been one of the motivations, but it certainly wasn't the
only one.  Budgets were tight, NASA wanted to have enough money to
move on to other things, and they wanted to save another Saturn V so
that they could launch a second Skylab.  (Didn't end up happening, but
it was a pretty serious plan- serious enough that they finished the
station.  It's in the Air and Space in Washington.)

Nixon certainly had his role to play in the ending of Apollo, but he's
far from the lone villain that he's popularly portrayed as.  His
budgets didn't do anything to help the program, but it had already
started to decline before he came into office.  He does, IMO, have to
take a large part of the blame for the economically idiotic decision
to let two missions' worth of completed lunar hardware go into museums
rather than undertake the relatively minor expense of flying them.
(Sunk costs, anyone?)  And although Slayton seems to have thought that
fear of another Apollo 13 on NASA management led them to be more
accepting of the 1971 cuts than they otherwise would have been, I'm
not sure how widely held of a view that was or is.  Slayton was
definitely a program insider and should be taken very seriously, but
he's not infalliable.

Sorry for the long post, hope it helps rather than obfuscates.

I agree, just as those Zion Yids put one of their own kind(Jesus
Christ) on a stick for another one of their Yiddish faith-based PR
stunts, whereas A13 may have been the only manned mission having once
partly and only briefly orbited our physically dark and naked
anticathode moon, though also from a much safer distance than any
sustained circular orbit.

  If I understand your spew you are admitting the U.S. flew a manned
mission around the moon. In other threads you have told us that was
impossible to do. Among other things you told us Saturn V was too weak
to heave Apollo capsule, LM and support module. Then again you also told
us the men aboard would wouldn't survive the radiation of the Van Allen
belts.

Some of us came into this world with a certain Zion faith-based kind
of cultivated chip or insurmountable mindset to deal with, and for
their somewhat limited cult size being less than a majority is what
meant that becoming the world's faith-based bully was perhaps their
one and only option of sticking to their guns(sort of speak).

Keeping the rest of us as snookered as possible, such as continually
in your realm of naysay and/or hocus-pocus status quo, as well as in
denial of being in denial about all of those crop circles of rather
extremely complex crop (CAD/CAM) patterns, as though everything we see
is entirely of flat-Earth terrestrial logic along with that passive
sun in orbit of your one and only livable planet in the universe,
along with that other naked and supposedly passive orb we call our
moon that's supposedly entirely safe to soft land and walk upon, as
such is asking of a whole lot more faith in your kind of humanity than
many others and myself have to share, or would otherwise accept as the
one and only truth.

That's not the same fly-by-rocket thing of physics, as their having to
place nearly 50 tonnes safely into a 100 km circular orbit, or much
less safely landing upon that physically dark, dusty, highly
electrostatic charged and unavoidably anticathode surface that's
saturated in a gamma and X-rays, as well as being somewhat salty to
boot, now is it.

You can play all those silly out of context word and number games of
your conditional laws of physics all that you want, yet you sneaky
folks still can't or wouldn't so much as dare honestly share and share
alike, such as for sharing those viewable locations of Venus as of
missions A11, A14 and A16.

Thank God, I have no such loathing fears of all them good Jews, just
the sorts of truly nasty/bad Zion Jews that seem to be of a borg like
collective that's situated right here within this faith-based
infomercial spewing usenetland of their evidence excluding, denials
and naysayism as based upon their pretend cloak of atheism that hasn't
a speck of remorse or tolerance for the revisions of anything outside
of their Old Testament holy grail.

BTW, everything about our moon and of those supposed NASA/Apollo
missions is easily supercomputer doable as a virtual 3D interactive
live or real time simulation, including our clear and unobstructed
view of that relatively nearby Venus.  Perhaps you folks should change
your pretend atheist religion to something else where we'd expect to
be hearing those incest butt loads of lies upon lies. (how about for a
LLPOF change, you try being Catholic instead of Jewish)

Why are you such an unhappy camper?

Is it the same LLPOF method used for hiding all of those Muslim WMD?

Copperfield is what our residenr LLPOF warlord(GW Bush) needs right
about now.

As for hiding such a nearby and vibrant planet like Venus from those
unfiltered Kodak moments, at least technically you can't, nor why
would any village idiot go out of their way in order to having avoided
such a pesky bright item in that otherwise crystal clear and thus
black sky that's always above our PHYSICALLY DARK moon.

Most any interactive 3D orbital simulator proves exactly where Venus
should have been, as could have been easily parked within a good many
FOVs, as well as for being well above the DR(dynamic range) minimums
of such nifty rad-hard Kodak film.

You don't. But Brad has a major brain case on the planet Venus. His
whole involvement in the "moon hoax conspiracy" came from his
believing that artifical structures were found on a fly-by of Venus
and NASA refuses to take it seriously. Therefore any reference to
Apollo brings up the Venus reference. The fact that Venus would be
between the Earth/Moon and the Sun and thus any attempt to view or
photograph it would mean facing the Sun and risking damaging the
camera is immaterial to him. (In fact, I believe one of the Apollo
missions the astronaut actually did accidently point the video camera
at the Sun for a moment and burned out it's components!)

As far as the "Zion Yids" putting one of their own on a stick, the
Jews practiced stoning for major crimes, not crucifixtion. That was a
Roman punishment. The Jews went to the Romans and said; "This man is
dangerous, take care of him for us." The final responsibility, no
matter what Pilate may have said, has to be shared between the Jewish
priests and the Roman law givers.

Wow - thanks for bringing this to my attention - I really was sucked in by
the huge government conspiracy to make us poor uneducated slobs believe that
they really were doing all that space stuff.  But, fortunately for all of
us, you have shown clearly and with irrefutable evidence that it was all a
hoax to get us to vote for more taxes.  Just think how long this could have
gone on had not you and other brilliant scientific minds like yours found a
way to expose the fraud behind everything NASA ever did.  I'm putting you in
for a Pulitzer prize, a Nobel Prize, and a Blue Ribbon at the county fair
just to show my appreciation.

It's a excellent show, and shows just how outrageous the 'collapsed
building' claims are when faced with any logical inquiry.
That being said, I am still somewhat up in the air about if the Bush
administration had a suspicion that a attack was in the works and didn't
really do very much to stop it, as it would be the perfect event to
clear their action plan for Iraq, and their ripping the guts out of the
Bill Of Rights under the excuse of a national emergency - so that the
executive branch could vastly increase its power, like David Addington
was in favor of.
Or it could have simply been gross incompetence on the part of the
administration, like pretty much everything else since has been.
God knows what is going to happen over in Pakistan in the next few days,
but the thought of Al Qaeda with nuclear weapons isn't a good one...you
know what that would mean...we'd have to invade Iran...or possibly
Venezuela. ;-)

Pat, consider this: The record of massive incompetence that the Shrub
Administration has so far amassed, would make it grossly unlikely that
this notion could be the one thing that they were actually able to
mastermind.

Conspiracy " theories " have the burden of proof at the best of times,
and
with the record of the last 7 years, this is not the best of times to
try such
a notion, absent some proof.

Now, I would agree with the notion that, once they had 9/11 dropped on
them, they were not too slow at working out how to fit the new events
into their agenda; Thats what politicians do.

Um... with what ? The Salvation Army ? I hear they're an international

Whats the proof that the US is a Great Nation ? That it might still

I wouldn't claim Bush and Co. "masterminded" 9/11, I don't think Bush
could mastermind a plot to open a bag of pretzles. But I just might
buy that someone, somewhere caught wind of this plot happening and
arranged for certain elements not to pursue the investigation. Even
this, I would place around Cheney and crew, I don't think Bush could
even pull that much off. Having said that, I wouldn't believe they'd
thought far enough ahead to presume the buildings would collapse! I
think they may have thought; "A couple of planes hit buildings,
several hundred dead, and we have a bloody shirt to wave at the
American people."

It still works out to the same thing. That this Keystone cops bunch
could even keep such a secret is beyond the plausable. That they
would consider such a plan, knowing what the blowback would be
if and when it comes out, is insane. As are most conspriracy

And, they knew that there wouldn't be nukes, dirty bombs, etc., how ?

The ONLY kind of plan one can count on is one you fulfill yourself.
For
any 1st World administration to allow their initiatives and choices to
be
made by non state terror groups, is, well, nuts. The very control
freakiness
of modern politics makes that concept insane and utterly self
destructive
in a very short order.

Thats why Real Life is far more boring than a Bourne film.

That's my vote.  Not just his administration; a whole bunch of bureaucrats
sleeping on the job.   'Cause first you'd have to believe that the
CIA/FBI/Illuminati/White House/Congress/Pentagon/whatever had the
wherewithall to pull off such -multiple- stunts; in spite of all that, they
still weren't able to fly some mustard gas from the Umatilla chemical
weapons depot to Iraq and "find" WMD, thereby justifying the war.

They couldn't figure out how to fake a WMD discovery.  There's simply no way
they pulled off 9/11 and snowed the FAA, the NYPD and NYFD, witnesses,
survivors and intense media investigation.    (Of course, everybody in
non-whackjob fantasy land knows this anyway...)

Well, really, if people want to blow up a federal bldg or rob a bank or

Hardly comes close to "gross incompetence".

It's hatred that drives these nut jobs. Just like the 9/11 conspiracy
nuts who hate George Bush so much they have to make crap up to blame
it on Bush.

So the 13th day of the Apollo 13 mission would have been the second day
after launch eh?

I'll give you the 13th hour claim since somewhere on Earth it was no
doubt 13:00.

Indeed. When such lunatics cannot even get such a basic fact right, it
makes clear that they are utterly untrustworthy for any facts that are
any
more complex. The actual launch date was April 11, 19:13:00 UTC.

The explosion in the SM tank occurred at about 55 hours and 53 minutes
into the flight. But, that doesn't make for any cool looking numbers.
So
the kooks ignore them.

Lucky it wasn't 66 hrs, 66 minutes and 66 seconds into the flight.

The picture in question was taken only after the command module
separated from the LEM (which was used as a lifeboat).

This was when they were back from the moon and -- principally --
inserted back into a close earth orbit. Yet, Hobo (idiot) asks why the
earth was so large in the background. Well... duh...!

This sounds like something a moron would say.

I will confess that I have not seen this discussion on the picture. In
any case, as the flight was still well under 13 days elapsed time
then, it changes my point not at all.

None of the SM pictures that I can find show anything but the SM.

> This sounds like something a moron would say.

Well, yes, if someone wondered why the Earth was so close in any
picture of the Apollo 13 just jettisoned SM, that would be ignorant
and/or flat out dumb.

Instead of "Apollo13", I think you've been watching that great OJ

Hmmmm, usenet is right back down to its CPU knees once again.  I
wonder why?

Will China Beat the United States Back to the Moon?

Why don't be silly, of course they will, except more like being of the
very first time, and with using those robust robotic androids that are
rad-hard enough.  China isn't exactly stupid or much less snookered
and/or dumbfounded past the point of no return, you know, and to think
that they don't even have any team of smart Third Reich Yids for
getting those robotics safely onto the moon.

Then I'd apologise and change the tune of my rant, though why not if
it's the whole truth and nothing but the truth that's independently
replicated outside of your NASA/Apollo O-Ring quran, that which
supposedly has never told any of us a lie.

Are you suggesting that our warm and fuzzy government (including NASA)
doesn't tell lies, or cover thy butt at most every possible
opportunity?

Would never try to tell you that. However, the fact that the

YOUR concept (I won't even call it a theory) that the moon landings

That's only because it's not a concept or a theory, but rather matter
of physics and replicated science fact.  Sorry about that.

If you can manage to hide a nearby planet as albedo vibrant as Venus,
then you're a whole lot better off at hocus-pocus than anyone I know
of.

If you can get nearly 50 tonnes into a close orbit of our moon within
3 days using just a 60:1 ratio worth of rocket per payload, as having
a nearly 30% inert GLOW, then you're doing so much better than
Einstein or anyone else.

If you've got one of those R&D prototype fly-by-rocket landers, let us
see it doing it's R&D fly-by-rocket thing.

How did David Copperfield make the Statue of Liberty disappear? He
didn't, he just changed the camera angle so we weren't looking at it!
So it is with Venus. It was there, but they didn't take any pictures
of it because they weren't there to take pictures of the sky!
Furthermore, Venus, being between the Earth and the Sun, would be
close to the Sun's FOV and they weren't going to risk the cameras
taking pictures too close to the Sun's FOV!

One last point, the closer Venus would be to Earth, the more of its
"shadow side" would be facing us and less of its reflective side. If
it were as close as possible, it would be a "new" Venus and would be
very difficult to see same as the "new" Moon in the Earth sky. In
order for Venus to be at its most brilliant, it would have to be on
the other side of its orbit and _much_ further away.

I comment that you never give your references and you give us another
batch of numbers without reference.

What is your lofty position in life that gives you such knowledge as
to weight/thrust ratios?

  Guth's credentials are as follows: he has none. As for credibility:
he has none of that either. As for his ability to debate logically: he
never has. His comprehension of basic science: none. I picture him as s

Unlike yourself, I'm sticking with the regular laws of physics, and
otherwise going along with the best available science that's
replicated outside of your NASA/Apollo cult.

Of what others have accomplished seems more than proof worthy enough
as to how much fly-by-rocket energy a given moon mission requires per
tonne of whatever's getting deployed into orbit.

Brad you ignorant slut!  I didn't say anything about physics.

And is that why your physics is entirely different, and you don't have
to worry about the replicated science of others?

Got Venus? (why of course you don't)

Got Kodak rad-hard film? (why of course you don't)

Got that nifty fly-by-rocket laner? (why of course you don't)

Got big enough rocket for getting nearly 50 tonnes so quickly situated
into that circular lunar orbit? (why of course you don't)

Got that born-again faith of your being a pretend atheist? (why of
course you do)

Got LLPOF as your very best friend? (that one you've got way more than
your fair share of, and then some)

In my father's day (he was born in 1892), "physic" was a term for
laxatives. Perhaps that is what "Guthy Gander" means when he says that
our physics are different from his. We are referring to science, while
he refers to laxatives.

So you folks still don't have a freaking honest clue as to how in the
hell they ever managed to hide Venus, much less safely fly-by-rocket
onto that extremely electrostatic dusty, anticathode gamma reactive
and somewhat salty old moon of ours.  Figures, doesn't it.

Maybe the Jews took it!

Maybe them pesky Jews are also of what's keeping any such 3D
interactive orbital simulator from ever showing us the whole truth and
nothing but the truth.  Perhaps you could share as to what part of
NASA's infowar fuckology do you folks continually brown-nose yourself
with?

Multiple missions in orbit and on the deck are simply way more than
perfectly good enough science as for telling if Mars has its fair
share of salt, of which is does not.  Go figure (must have been a
fresh water mucky swamp of a planet w/o tides to speak of)

In a perfect world, that would be the end of the Moon Hoax conspiracy.
In the real world, the conspiracy theorists will just claim the photos
were faked, or the "real" photos intercepted by NASA, or that China
was really in on it from the start.  I'm almost morbidly curious about
what they'd do if they read about Tsioklvsky and Goddard.

I'm not sure about Tsiolkovski, but Guthy has already
incorporated Goddard into his "Zionist conspiracy" theory.

That's absolutely right, however China is not exactly sitting on their
extremely wise old butts, are they.

BTW, notice how extremely dark and otherwise somewhat average coal
like 0.11 or actually of a slightly sooty darker kind of soft albedo,
that which our extremely dusty old and electrostatic charged moon
really is, as having been so clearly JAXA/HVTV imaged within the very
same FOV, as well as having been illuminated by the very same raw
solar spectrum that's unavoidably skewed by the excess amount of those
violet and UV photons.

Do we see anything of that naked lunar terrain that's looking the
least bit NASA/Apollo 0.65~0.075 albedo worthy, like a certain guano
island as modified to suit? (silly question, as I didn't think so)

Now imagine how much brighter than Earth the little violet color
skewed pixel worth of Venus is going to look.
