Sorry, Neil Armstrong. Boffins say you may not have been first life-form to set foot on the Moon

Re: Good!

What about the Nazi moon base that was set up after WWII? There was that film about it a couple of years ago - Iron Skies

Re: Good!

Surely this just proves what we've always known, otherwise how do you explain the Clangers?

Re: Good!

Coming soon on History Channel (and youtube about five minutes after broadcast)- some nutjob tries to prove the garden of eden was on the moon.

Re: What about

"There is no dark side of the moon really.

Matter of fact it's all dark."

four more years and it will be 50 years since I first heard those lyrics.

Re: What about

@Pete4000uk "The aliens on the dark side, do they count?"

Only Money.

Don't know if Armstrong would have take offense in being called as such... regardless if you wished to write arthropod or anthropoid...

Mankind hasn't visited the moon yet, much less some psyop from Langley.

NASA provides zero proof of the trip, just their 'word', some bizarre photos and videos and improbable lumps of hardware.

Even the article's photo is ridiculous, look past the lander: where's the ground gone?'. In all photos there is a maximum of around 30 feet of ground past the lander. This is because they are shot in the Borehamwood 2001 and UFO lunar surface sound stages that are of limited size. This is true from all angles.

Later 'mission' photos were shot in the US desert and you can see the difference with the ground not being chopped off, but A11 photos all look silly, pool of light low surface area shots.

NASA may have struggled into LEO with gemini but all the capsules from Apollo were pushed out of the back of a transport plane (the reason they all landed about 1 mile from the press boat each time - even the 'notepad' Apollo 13 one). The chances of Apollo 13 landing even in the Atlantic? Zero. Simple maths.

"Robust surviving earthly bacteria on the feet of the lunar module would have touched the lunar surface before the Armstrong moon-boot."

Robust earthly-bacteria from a technician's sneeze are believed to have survived on the surface long enough to be _brought back_ when Pete Conrad chopped off Surveyor 3's camera in 1969. (This is controversial because it wasn't properly isolated during the return process but on the flipside only a few hundred bacteria of a single species were isolated vs the millions of various species you'd expect if it was the result of cross-contamination)

This tends to indicate they went there with the first probes.

Re: This could explain the excess atmosphere, I guess.

More likely an attraction by static electricity. Keine luft!
