Is it fun to make yourself look ignorant (as you are doing)? I hadn't realised that.

There is a lot you do not realise, even when it is screaming at you, staring you in the face it is....
....and that is your fault, not mine, not surprising if you live in the land of gnomes...VO5

While we are attit........here is another snippet of fact as presented by NASA:~
That the moon landing nearly did not take place...it was on the brink of being aborted....because.......there was only one minute's worth of fuel left to complete the landing safely...but...it was decided to go ahead with it after all......sucessfully...

Brilliant! Wallace & Gromit missed that one too. Gromit could've been on one of those long leads they can let out and bring back in (can't remember what they're called). They should include that in the remake.

You seem to find this to be an unlikely scenario, so let's try some facts. Attached below is the [edited for space by me] transcript of the comms between Houston and Eagle just before touchdown. You can see the full text on the NASA History Pages.
102:44:45 Aldrin: 100 feet, 3 1/2 down, 9 forward. Five percent (fuel remaining). Quantity light.
[Fjeld - "The quantity light latched at 102:44:31, and indicated that 5.6% of the original propellant load remained. This event started a 94-second countdown to a 'Bingo' fuel call which meant 'land in 20 seconds or abort.' So if the count gets down to zero, Neil will have 20 seconds to land, if he thinks he can get down in time. Otherwise, he will have to abort immediately. If you're 50 feet up at 'bingo fuel' with all of your horizontal rates nulled and are coming down to a good spot, you could certainly continue to land. With your horizontal rates nulled at 70 to 100 feet, it would be risky to land - perhaps giving you a landing at the limiting load of the landing gear. At anything over 100 feet, you'd punch the abort button, say goodbye to the moon, and stew for the rest of your life!"]
102:44:54 Aldrin: Okay. 75 feet. And it's looking good. Down a half, 6 forward.
102:45:02 Duke: 60 seconds (of fuel left before the 'Bingo' call).
102:45:40 Aldrin: Contact Light.
102:45:43 Armstrong (onboard): Shutdown
102:45:44 Aldrin: Okay. Engine Stop.
102:45:45 Aldrin: ACA out of Detent.
102:45:46 Armstrong: Out of Detent. Auto.
102:45:47 Aldrin: Mode Control, both Auto. Descent Engine Command Override, Off. Engine Arm, Off. 413 is in.
102:45:57 Duke: We copy you down, Eagle.
102:45:58 Armstrong (onboard): Engine arm is off. (Pause) (Now on voice-activated comm) Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed.

Damn you and your irritating facts. Can you not see that it's our lizard overlords who feed us these lies.

the moon in all its glory....
The US astronomer, Phil Plait has THE BEST website to put all of thi into context, including why the sky is blue, why we cannot see stars from the bottom of a well (or chimney) and yes the moon landing hoax hypothesis. Read it http://www.badastronomy.com/index.html
He also has a great audiobook of the same title, great to listen to while driving to the marina

That is a very interesting site indeed.
I learnt something new from it.
Apparently light bounces off the surface differently to any other surface.
If I am mistaken in my interpretation of this curious anomaly, then I stand to be corrected.
I quote:~
The lunar dust has a peculiar property: it tends to reflect light back in the direction from where it came. So if you were to stand on the Moon and shine a flashlight at the surface, you would see a very bright spot where the light hits the ground, but, oddly, someone standing a bit to the side would hardly see it at all. The light is preferentially reflected back toward the flashlight (and therefore you), and not the person on the side.

I have just come in, been clubbing with friends.
We have been discussing this and I have been asked to ask the following:~
A frogman....breathes air directly from a compressed air tank through a mouthpeice. Additionally thr frogman is subject to increased pressures the deeper he dives. For an astronaut, the opposite. On the moon, which appears not to have an atmosphere and the astronaut does not appear to breathe through a mouthpeice from a tank, how is it that his spacesuit does not balloon with the pressure of the air inside it ?

it's been designed not too. Not sure there is a question in there at all?
The fabrics and materials, joints, and everything that goes into a suit like that, are all designed to allow relatively free movement. If the suit was just a big balloon, then you'd get no freedom of movement at all. It cost millions to get to the first one, and millions for every version after. and many branches of design across many countries doing the same thing, so no one design

Ah! I see...you mean the suit is airtight and tailored specially so it does not balloon at all ?

Now what about the temperature wearing it in the blazing sun ? It must be cooking, because as far as I could see the lunar landscape is pretty barren with lots of craters but very little shade. Does it mean they had to take refuge in the module from time to time so as not to get overheated ?
Air conditioning in the module one supposes.

So that they can bend their fingers the suit has to be at a low pressure, I can't remember what it is but it is low. To get enough oxygen at this pressure they can't use air, it's pure oxygen. The gas is circluated and CO2 removed to keep it sweet so it's a rebreather system rather than a once through system like scuba diving.

In regards to the colour of sand its going to be "colours of sands" like earth there will be many different colours and types. one can observe there are many different types of stone / rock.
Given the 200 C difference between tempertures in sunlight and tempertures in darkness or shade one can assume you will have a very hot surface in sunlight and a cryogenic enviroment in lunas night. This will produce large amounts of water vapour. its the temperture ranges that make it impossible for life.
We all know if we took the time to look into it we would find an encyclopedic like number of discrepancies.
Place "niel armstrong" in the search box to get quite a few comments made or suppossedly made by Mr Armstrong since.
As another poster observed there is nothing about the moon scientifically we did not already know from taking readings from earth. So probably done for the astronomical amount of tax payers money which no doubt went entirely into the luna budget.
Would love to do the sums and see which pockets the dosh went to
Please check out an instrument called an "spectograph"
By loading a spectograph with a plate which has a sample of a chosen element you wish to scan a given object for you would observe the elements presence in the results if the object did not have that element. If the object does have that element it will not show up in the spectograph result.
The results in an optical spectograph display as a colour which represents a given frequency.
If the moon keeps one face to us at all times there is something very strong magnetically speaking on or within luna interacting with the sun and earth that it causes tidal movement
For observation if you take two bar magnets keeping one in your flat palm while rotating the other at a specific distance and paralel you will see the magnet in your palm rotate due to being coupled with the magnetic field of the rotating magnet.
Given bransons galactic flights from spaceship one or spaceship two has anyone ever found a youpube video from a deligted orbital traveler ? not me anyroads.
If you find one id be very very happy to see it thank-you
