    And that's clearly a fake!
  • Entil'ZhaEntil'Zha I see famous people
    What, the moon launch in general?
  • sinclairsinclair Ranger
    no, just that page that is faking the moonlanding, which [I]probably [/I]isn't fake.

    You can obviously see the shadows are all wrong in that page.

    Don't tell Bill Gates he bought the rights to a moon rover that isn't there. :D
  • sinclairsinclair Ranger
    "Oops"... Well, it was just part of human history...

    [URL="http://www.reuters.com/article/newsOne/idUSTRE56F5MK20090716"]Moon landing tapes got erased, NASA admits[/URL]

    I still have the original taped Babylon 5 VHS cassettes archived... If NASA wan't someone to take better care of their archives, PM me.
  • WORFWORF The Burninator
    That was clever of them.
  • StingrayStingray Elite Ranger
    Not to worry, the Stanley Kubrick estate still has the originals. :D

    Sinclair, i just read that this morning as well, and to be fair, they do have hundreds of thousands of hours of video.. but still talk about a major SNAFU... they will prolly find the tapes 10 years from now in a storage locker owned by Paris Hilton.
  • sinclairsinclair Ranger
    They will probably just shoot it again with Tom Hanks.

    I don't know what it is, but there is something calming about listening to the radio feed while working...i love it.

    Does the title of this thread remind anyone else of [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wY6insZjCfU"]this[/URL]?

    This is just plain fantastic. I'm loving it.
  • StingrayStingray Elite Ranger
    I have a question, what ever happened to the lunar modules after the astronauts got back from the moon? The LEM's (minus the landing bases) should still be orbiting the moon, right? Unless the crashed by to the surface...

    I may be wrong, but I think I remember reading something ages ago that said they crashed at least some of them back into the moon so as to get readings from the seismometers they left on the surface
  • RedAssAg05RedAssAg05 Ranger
    We have AOS. T minus 6 hours 17 minutes to scheduled landing.
  • BigglesBiggles <font color=#AAFFAA>The Man Without a Face</font>
    Most of the ascent stages (probably all) were crashed into the surface to calibrate the seismometers.
  • MundaneMundane Elite Ranger
    4 hours and 41 minutes until T+40 years :)
  • SeafroggysSeafroggys Ranger
    Nope, its already past T+40 years.

    T = takeoff.
  • RedAssAg05RedAssAg05 Ranger
    Oh.

    Can't it be 't' for touchdown too? or is it L minus?
  • sinclairsinclair Ranger
    I cant hear the so called 'live' stream ;(

    So it was a conspiracy after all?
  • RedAssAg05RedAssAg05 Ranger
    Can't hear it? that stinks! I've been listening to it off and on since Friday...nice to work to.



    ...either that and there is no stream, and I'm in on it:)

  • sinclairsinclair Ranger
    Ah, it was some odd computer related problem... Reboot helped, I was starting to panic as we are so close the last stage.

    All fixed now, I take my words back.
  • sinclairsinclair Ranger
    And the Eagle has landed... Oh, wait...
  • Entil'ZhaEntil'Zha I see famous people
    sweeet
  • RedAssAg05RedAssAg05 Ranger
    Take that you Soviet Commie bastards! The Free World OWNS the moon. muahahaha!
  • SanfamSanfam I like clocks.
    So I got to the page 10 minutes late today :(

    I was sad.
  • RedAssAg05RedAssAg05 Ranger
    That sucks Sanfram.

    The good news is that they'll have the site up where you can 'relive the mission at your own pace.'

    Still, I understand that it's not the same.
