They can. But compare the Russian unmanned probes. Multiple probes returned a few grams of surface dust. On the other hand the US has over 800 pounds of dust, rocks and core samples. Core samples could not be retrieved unmanned.
Quantity is irrelevant when there's no guaranteed method to differentiate the moon rocks from some volcano rocks scientists tested to be the same.
So you think geologists can't tell the difference between a rock formed in 1/6 gravity, never exposed to liquid water, and exposed to millions of years of cosmic rays from a volcanic rock? Sorry, but you'd be wrong.
It's a claim vs another claim. Also, core samples can be retrieved unmanned. NASA has done amazing things in space and retrieving a core sample and lots of it too is most likely (in my opinion) an easy task for NASA.
No, they couldn't at the time. They are still struggling with that task today IIRC.
Many of the experiments had to be manually setup
Further, there is no evidence of an unmanned program to do these things. Who built the probes? Who operated them? Who retrieved them? There is no evidence of any of it but there is evidence of a manned program.
Any information or evidence on this? I mean about the experiments
There were many experiments performed during Apollo that returned data even after they left. I'm not going to track it all down for you.
And the rocks, and the tracking, and the testimony, and the eyewitnesses that saw the rockets leaving earth orbit, and the warehouses full of documentation, etc.
You do realize there were more landings than just Apollo 11, right? The problems you mention ONLY apply to Apollo 11
As for the high res video, that was taken with a camera in the CM. The video from the surface was taken with a different camera with lower bandwidth requirements. And the video quality improved on later missions.
Rocks... not proof as mentioned
Except you were wrong.
Testimony... not proof
Sure just call them all liars.
Eye witness of rockets leaving earth orbit... eye witness of leaving earth only, not earth orbit.. doesn't prove the landings either
No, there were witnesses of the rocket leaving Earth orbit. The translunar burn was observed. Where else would they go?
Faking ONE mission is sufficient.. why would they make the same error twice?
Are you saying the others weren't faked?
You've yet to show it was a mistake. What you described was a known side effect of the camera. Projection on the other hand, doesn't work with bright objects in the foreground, like highly reflective astronaut suits.
Nope. None of it stands up to scrutiny
NONE of it stands up to scrutiny. Everything hoaxies present only shows their ignorance.
There's no more to this then.. you believe the photos and I don't.. https://forum.davidicke.com/showthread.php?t=76620 here's just some of the things and believe me there's so much more it's hard to keep track
From the linked post there is the usual about the shadow angles. NONE show multiple shadows which would be seen with multiple lights. ALL can be explained with perspective and terrain. Then there is jpeg compression and dusty lens. Then Jack White's ignorant claim that the rover is packaged when what is in the photo was NOT the rover. It was stored in the other quad and in the photo is a pallet of scientific experiments. The supposed reflection of a studio light in the visor is in the EXACT same position in multiple images. Impossible for a reflection but not for a smudge on the glass. It goes on with much of the same ignorance.
which they went around
No they didn't.. they went through it. The astronauts (scientists) didn't know much about it either did they?
Nope. Their trajectory took them around it. Always has. As for your other statement, ONE astronaut didn't know much about the belts. So what? It was a preplanned trajectory, it wasn't like they had to steer Buck Rogers style around obstacles. They didn't have to know because it wasn't that important.
not leaked. It was broadcast live at the time. And it doesn't show that it was from Earth orbit. Sibrel wants you to believe that so you'll buy his stuff. He cut out the part of the footage that proves him wrong.
"It doesn't show that it's from Earth orbit" - exactly.. that's the whole point of faking it. I watched the video you posted. Practice camera control? They flew into orbit to practice how to hold the camera against a window? And the fact this practice video was dated during the moon mission doesn't mean anything?
YOU claimed it showed them in Earth orbit. It does not. It shows them where they claimed to be halfway to the Moon. It happened during the mission which is why it is dated during the mission.
Another lie from Sibrel. The astronauts reacted to him not the supposed fake footage. He was a known and convicted stalker. He admitted in court that he would call them liars no matter how they reacted. He had multiple astronauts that did swear on the bible as he requested but he doesn't like to show you that footage.
I'm not going by his video entirely. I saw the astronaut's reactions to the question. Not the retaliation upon being harassed and stalked and being called cowards etc coz anyone would punch him in the face for that whether right or wrong.
They ALL knew he was scum. They'd heard of him and how he had treated others. They knew who he was. They were reacting to him.
Except when you have live TV footage of them putting it in place exactly where they claimed it is, and when you have images in the photos, 16mm and live TV footage that were not visible in any pre-Apollo images, and when you get data sent back from the equipment they installed as soon as they installed it, and when amateur radio enthusiasts on Earth monitor transmissions from the moon, then it all becomes a little more difficult to dismiss. You can do marvellous things with unmanned probes, but nothing like as much as you can with people.
This information again doesn't prove that it was not done with unmanned missions.
Then show evidence for these unmanned missions.
There are enough details visible in the TV broadcasts to pick out surface features visible in LRO photographs of the landing site. The live TV broadcasts from cislunar space show images of Earth that can only have been taken on the date and at the time of broadcast. Images from those broadcasts were published in newspapers and books at the time, not years later.
Does this include identical backgrounds from 3 different locations on the moon?
There are no identical backgrounds from 3 different locations. There are SIMILAR distant mountains that don't change much due to perspective but that is to be expected. There is also a third-party documentary that used two clips from the same EVA of one mission at the same location but the voiceover made a mistake and claimed a separate EVA. NOT a NASA claim.
For the rest of it..... I do not claim they did or didn't land. But the landing evidence is not strong and the hoax evidence are stronger. I dreamed of feeling the moon missions and how wonderful it would have been. I'm not a deluded flat earther but I can deduce from evidence provided from both sides to sadly realise that moon landings were political and not scientific in nature.
There is no evidence of a hoax.
I guess this
If anyone can answer these two then I'll believe man landed on the moon
was a lie then. They DID go around the belts in addition to the guy who discovered them said they weren't a problem, and the video was not only not leaked but doesn't show what Sibrel claims it does.
