Over the past few months I have received many emails from people asking me to comment on various videos uploaded by the pro-NASA side. Specifically; they ask me how can the Apollo 11 views of earth be a transparency over the window (as stated by Bart Sibrel and David Percy) when one shot shows the earth vanishing behind the window. I explained this way back in 2007, but unfortunately it seem the propagandists' misrepresentation of the footage continues to this day. I am also asked how NASA got the cloud formations right if these videos were faked. Apparently the clouds formations seen in these telecasts are similar to those seen by weather satellites. Firstly: the Apollo 11 crew made not one, but FOUR television broadcasts during the coast phase of their alleged voyage to the moon. According to the Spacecraft Films DVD, the first one was filmed at 10:32GET (Ground Elapsed Time); the second was filmed at 30:28GET; the third at 33:59GET; and the fourth was filmed at 55:08GET. The first, third and forth broadcasts were all a continuous video with no edits. But the second video (the one where the earth clearly disappears behind the window), is just a jumble of random interior and exterior shots. The astronauts don't even appear in the same shot as the earth vanishing behind the window. In fact, if you actually watch these in-flight television transmissions closely, you'll notice that the astronauts are never in the same shot as the earth. The camera always blacks out or cuts away between interior and exterior shots. In the film industry, this is called "smoke and mirrors". Anyways, long story short, Bart Sibrel and also David Percy discussed the 10:32GET and 33:59GET telecasts in their respective documentaries. These are the two broadcasts that they say where filmed with a transparency. In response to the transparency claim, the 30:28GET telecast has been flogged by members of the pro-NASA side over and over again as though all four videos were the same telecast! And not once do they reveal that it is in fact an edited video. For the record, I believe that these videos in which the "earth" disappears behind the window were filmed in a CSM mockup with an accurate globe on the outside. At the request of a certain Youtube user who has been confused by the pro-NASA side's representation of these videos, I am uploading all four from start to finish. Secondly: As stated above, these videos have been compared with photos of earth taken by weather satellites in orbit at the time. Naturally, the pro-NASA side has been quick to call this "evidence". This trait is typical among propagandists: they present a piece of data or video that they don't know how to fake, and they assume that anything they don't know how to fake must be evidence that Apollo was real. Considering that NASA had many weather satellites in orbit long before and during Apollo, and that meteorologists had been using such satellite photographs to predict cloud formations and thus make forecasts for the week's weather, I'd say that's how NASA was able to get the cloud positions right in these videos. Thirdly: I have also been asked why Sibrel says the telecasts that NASA sent him were "classified" when they are available on the Spacecraft Films DVD set. The footage that Sibrel received carried this title card: "This film of the Apollo 11 Mission was produced as a report film by THE MANNED SPACECRAFT CENTER and is not for general public distribution." Furthermore, NASA sent Sibrel this footage in 2000. Spacecraft Films published their copy of it in 2002. It seems to me that NASA decided to declassify this footage after Sibrel leaked it!
