Proof of Apollo 11 On Ted Twietmeyer |
Proof of Apollo 11 On Stage In Geographic Documentary In 2007 a National Geographic
aired a 45 minute documentary about the NASA Apollo history.
Fig. 1 - Still frame from a video clip by NASA shows astronauts walking around on a stage during training. Location unknown.
Fig. 2 - Apollo 11 landing first Moon walk steps as seen on a big screen at mission control. A washed-out image is what the world saw that day. A black and white video camera was mounted on the inside of a access panel for tools on the lander, base near the ladder. Panel was hinged and dropped down when released by a control inside the lander. This system was used to capture the first steps on the Moon.
Fig. 3 - First step onto the Moon. Note the edge of the stage in the background and a DIFFERENT ladder in figure 1. NASA would NOT rehearse with
one type of ladder, then switch to a narrower ladder on the real lander.
Note ground shadows and parallel marks in soil. Compare background edge
of the lighted area to figure 1.
Fig.4 - This following video scene now shows a brilliant light source and different ground shadows when compared to figure 3. Perhaps the documentary's editor grabbed this image from a latter Apollo mission.
Fig. 5 - This next scene
shows a washed out black and white image. This is what the world saw According to the engineer
who designed the video camera system, he was given extremely limited bandwidth
for the video signal. Since this was not directly compatible with standard
broadcast format, a studio camera was aimed at a monitor which was able
to display this low resolution format. He claims this is why the image
is of such low quality. Figures 3 and 4 contradict this. If not a coincidence, then
figure 1 shows the lunar lander on a stage which has not yet been dressed
for shooting the scene, i.e., without soil or rocks.
Fig. 5a - Supposedly this is the right ladder. Confused yet? If the heavier ladder was the one used on the Apollo missions, would NASA train astronauts with a wide ladder mockup, then swuse a narrow ladder for the real mission? Having been involved with the space program for many years, I can tell you point blank that this, will, not, happen.
Fig.6 - This next Apollo
video clip in the documentary was taken from high up on the lander. WHO
took the video?
Fig. 7 - Another frame from
the tethered astronaut scene. Tether was flipping up and down in this
short clip in the documentary. Compare slight tether position change in
this freeze-frame to figure 6 freeze frame. Fig.7 - Lunar lander takeoff
preparation scene. Fig. 8 - Closeup of control
panel with broken control in lunar takeoff preparations scene. This scene in the documentary
is contrary to what astronaut Buzz Aldrin stated in another documentary.
He used the open end of his pen cap to actuate a broken handle on a circuit
breaker. What about the paddle switch to right of the hole in the foreground?
If the paddle broke off this switch, it may be possible to activate it
by sliding a pen cap onto the broken shaft. Fig. 9 - This video frame
shows the astronaut jamming the pen cap into the hole and moving it around.
A emergency meeting was held
to determine whether or not to scrub the lunar landing. This is also the
time when control of the lander was switched to manual mode by the commander.
Taking over manual control had nothing to do with the lunar lander computer
heading for a "crater full of boulders." In 1969 my friend asked a
astronaut "Who took the photos from high above the lander?"
(figures 5 and 6) The astronaut shrugged his shoulders and replied, "I
don't know. I didn't take them" and walked away." Today, recreations are indistinguishable
from the real thing. Only the boat and the boy
were on a stage. Back in the sixties, a blue screen was used for video
montage work. But this technology, known as Chromakey, was imperfect and
usually used for weather and news shows. I did work in broadcasting in
1969 and saw just how imperfect Chromakey was. Some television shows like
Star Trek used a improved Chromakey system, but most effects were still
being done live on stage like the first Apollo moon walk. Ted
