Ten Things You Didn't Know About the Apollo 11 Moon Landing

1: It was all faked........

sorry some one had to say it..

I once met Sen. Jack Schmitt who was part of Apollo 17, the last manned mission to the Moon. He said that NASA was so good at calculating the lunar soil composition that they could effectively predict how much the module was going to sink when they touched down.

Of course they knew how much the module was going to sink. They are the ones that poured the sand on the soundstage to begin with.

As you read about the Apollo 11 landing, you start to learn of several overlapping malfunctions that we going on in those last few seconds.. (radar malfunction, two computer memory overloads and reboots, boulders in the landing zone, Armstrong flying fast sideways to find a better landing spot, last few seconds of fuel, etc.)

But it was not until I read the book "Chariots for Apollo" that I learned there was a dangerous moment just after they landed.

A pressure line had gotten blocked with frozen propellant, and the tank pressure was building up after the landing. The engineers watching that reading thought they were less than 30 seconds from the landing stage exploding. They were screaming "Get them off the Moon now!" to try to convince flight control to tell Armstrong and Aldrin to launch the ascent stage. But then the blocked line cleared, and the pressure dropped. The mission proceeded as planned. No mention about the problem came out until a long time later.

True as true can be: if you listen to the 'one small step for man' recording BACKWARDS you'll hear two natural reversals: "man will spacewalk" and "remember Vietnam" (the 'nam' in 'Vietnam' is pronounced with a short 'a' like you'd expect him to have used). If you think that's cool, forget all about that backwards-masking bull and look up 'reversed speech'. It's a natural phenomenon normally produced by the human brain during highly emotional events and little tiny kids are actually babbling their native language in reverse! I'm serious! Try it out!

What is it about the moon landing that brings out the crazies?

Also on this date was the 1977 NYC Blackout. Any bizarre conspiracy theorists care to enlighten us on that?

Not an unknown item on that list, unless one knows zero about about Apollo 11, which I guess is likely considering today;s education system.
An this "fact" from the story "...and the ship’s computer’s ROM chips were handmade by teams of “little old ladies.” Excuseme,but the ROM chip wasn't invented until like a decade after Apollo 11 ( right? ) and they are made by precision machines that can layer materials into the equivelent of micro-circuits, not something that is hand made by anyone. Although Space suits are hand sewn by usually middle aged seamtresses.
THIS is the expert magazine that debunked the 911 "conspiracy theories" ? Maybe they should have gotten Chertoff's cousin to write this story too. Then I fall for the "fact" that ROM chips, made by old ladies, were used in Apollo 11 :D

"7. When Buzz Aldrin joined Armstrong on the surface, he had to make sure not to lock the Eagle’s door because there was no outer handle."

What !!???!

Does that sentence even make sense ? Why would there even be a lock on the outside door of a spacecraft ? To prevent theft by Greys ?

I was 11yrs. old when I saw it on television. That was a great moment to be able to see history happening that will be remembered for generations. It was great!!

Hmmmm i was too young when that happen, nice info!

for what do they put a machine on the moon???
