US astronaut Neil Armstrong, the first man on the Moon, has died aged 82.

:-/

Damn, a legend, guess he's up there along with the stars where he belongs!

Died after heart surgery. :(

:( heard this on the radio earlier today this dude is a classic.

R.I.P., I heard Heaven is near to the Moon.

Were we really on the moon? Just looked at the photo, and if you look, you will see the shadows intersecting. That`s not possible in real sunlight that falls from the same angle, is it?

Not just that, but do flags really wave on the moon :3

Anyway, I will miss the guy, big part of American culture and History!

You must consider the slope of the ground and how it reflects light differently. When viewed from the side, shadows may not necessarily appear as parallel.

People often claim that flags dont wave due to absence of air. But they forget that the absence of air also means that there is no air resistance too. The astronaut probably twisted/jostled the flag while planting it, which may cause motions that would continue even after awhile due to little damping effect. Ripples and wrinkles on the flag may also be perceived as motion too, for the fact that you cant judge accurately whether something is indeed moving from a still picture!

There are almost always conspiracies behind every fact (9/11, Princess Diana, John F. Kennedy etc) based on scientific inaccuracies and erroneous conclusions, which unfortunately are sufficient to fool the mass…

It seems Neil Armstrong has….eclipsed.

Shame to see such a big man go.

Rest in peace

For epicness:
"He will be mourned by his families and friends; he will be mourned by his nation; he will be mourned by the people of the world; he will be mourned by a Mother Earth that dared send one of her sons into the unknown.

In their exploration, they stirred the people of the world to feel as one; in his death, he binds more tightly the brotherhood of man.

In ancient days, men looked at stars and saw their heroes in the constellations. In modern times, we do much the same, but our heroes are epic men of flesh and blood.

Others will follow, and surely find their way home. Man’s search will not be denied. But he was the first, and he will remain the foremost in our hearts.

For every human being who looks up at the moon in the nights to come will know that there is some corner of another world that is forever mankind."

Unfortunately, trees is not straight. But it is easy to make a proof of concept yourself if you dare. Take two poles space them the same way as in the photo and look if their shadows ever intersect except when the planets rotation forces the two objects to intersect, one at its highest arc and one at the lowest arc when the sun is at the right angle.

Am I a fan of space, for sure, when I read, Usually I read only science fiction that is based on scientific principals people theorize about. Do I wish I could live in the era where space travel is the norm? For sure, nothing will please me more that being able to travel to other worlds.

@ litoris Unfortunately the masses as you say actually believes that we were on the moon and not the other way round. The masses of old also believed the world was flat, did that make it so?

To go after what the masses think is the truth is a dangerous road, question and think for yourself, test and see. The world is full of people who walks around with blinders, sometimes I am one of them.

But if you do not believe me, why not do the test yourself and see for yourself? It is really easy to do.

Remember we live in a world where there are people who makes the decisions for the rest of us, if you think that people who are ruthless won`t drive there own agendas then you don`t have a lot of life experience yet, it is all around you to see in your daily life what powerful people do to the weak and less powerful.

Did you confuse my post with litoris? Also mass!=majority, and neither did i claim whether the majority is always right.

I'm not too sure what mean by 'shadows cannot intercept'? Try showing a picture to better illustrate what u mean?

Interesting quote from a site:

If you have a toothache you go to a dentist; if you have legal problems you consult a lawyer. Throughout our daily lives it is commonplace to defer to trained professionals when we require specialized treatment or consultation. If you want to know about the functionality of the Apollo spacecraft, the nature of space radiation, or lunar geology you should seek the expert opinion of the engineers, physicists, geologists, and other specialists who dedicate their careers to knowing such things. These specialists unanimously agree that the Apollo moon landings were real, yet the hoax advocates discount their opinions and characterize these professionals as NASA disinformationists.

The hoax advocates like to paint the picture that they are soldiers in a war against government corruption and stand for truth and justice. However it is they who commonly employ the deceptive and manipulative tactics they accuse others of. They will typically show only the information and evidence that, on the surface, appears to substantiate their claims while suppressing any information that contradicts them. They try to conjure up feelings of distrust and antagonism toward the government. In most cases the hoax advocate's goal is to manipulate the reader, by whatever means, into agreeing with their interpretation of the facts. Encouraging a reader to study all the facts and formulate a scientifically based and unbiased opinion is generally not on their agenda.

Vastly superior, I just ask you to take time to read the stuff in the link I posted. And I was being sarcastic by posting the tree shadow, the tree is behind the pole in the picture, which causes it to "intersect" the pole, which you tried to explain by trees not being straight, which makes no sense but whatever. No shadows intersect in the moon landing footage, there are only shadows that seem to be at the wrong angles due to the moon's surface. It's also explained in that link.
I'm not going to keep discussing this, there were multiple moon landings and they are more legitimate than 9/11.

People die, it happens.

He had a good adventurous life, so it isn't a sad thing to think about his demise.


Anyways, i hope the people saying that the moon landings weren't real are just being sarcastic.

Otherwise i should say those guys are complete idiots.

Interesting quote from a site:

History is full of scientists and experts in their fields who claims many truths and is later on as time goes by proven wrong. Yes, the experts of the day in whom you put your faith and trust.

In other words, the experts are so correct in what they say and do that they never ever lie, or make mistakes. "You live in a dream world Neo"

Yes we can shout and scream and make accusations against each other all the time, but what I ask you to do is really simple take two straight poles, what was the distance in the photo between the two persons 5 meters, 10 meters. Plant your two poles and film it the whole day as the sun comes up and the sun goes down, and look if it ever will cross, intercept, each other at the angles the shadows do in the photo. Lets say a man is 2 meters long, make your poles 2 meters and do the experiment. Simple, no big words, no rocket scientist or engineer, just simple you that is not the "expert", and let your own eyes guide you in what it see.

If you really want to dig you will come up with many examples where the experts off their day made claims as the truth, that has been disproved in this day. Which was just as vehemently defended and people made out as fools.If you place your faith in a man and a expert, you will be disappointed in your life. Don`t always believe something is so because experts said so.

There is nothing deceptive about what I say, in fact I ask you to do the experiment for yourself. What is deceptive about asking people to do something that anybody can do for themselves, I don`t need an expert to hold my hand when I plant 2 poles, and I don`t need an expert to turn the sun for me to cast shadows. That I can do all by myself. Hey what you know, I can be my own expert.

I can measure it with my own senses and eyes.

Well, I said my piece, and I will now hold my own council as litoris has stated that he will do. Anyone who reads this can make with this whatever they wish, they can spit on it they can ignore it, they can make it off as ignorant fool, I don`t care. History is full of powerful people who has bend what has happened in the past to fit what they wanted the world to believe. History is full of lessons, because literally there is nothing new under the sun, what was done in the past will be done today and tomorrow, because always you have to do with one common factor. PEOPLE

You missed out this:
Encouraging a reader to study all the facts and formulate a scientifically based and unbiased opinion is generally not on their agenda.

We dont trust the scientists, but we trust the scientific facts and evidence these scientists present. The hoax advocates often evade any contest and are unable to sustain their arguments.

Try ur pole experiment with a bended terrain instead. And also take the photo from side view (rather than top view). Maybe show some pictures of the Apollo landing with shadows intercepting so that i can better understand what shadow interception you mean?

EDIT: something like this?

Pretty sad day :(

Even sadder is the idiot kids tweeting about the death and confusing Lance and Neil…or combining them.

A very sad loss… Neil was a great American who never ever used his fame to profit personally….. that sort of morality is in great demand these days as we need men like this to lead humanity beyond all the crap and pettiness that goes on today across the globe.

RIP you are a true legend.

He accomplished something that no man will ever be able to do again. Not many people can say they have done that.

Hey silver went up!

OT: The dumbest thing about this is that nobody even cared about Neil Armstrong until he died. Just like Michael Jackson and every other celebrity's passed fame that was stirred at death.
He was the first man on the moon, and for that, he will always carry a milestone.
