If you were intelligent, you would have READ the reasons why they are very unlikely to be genuine, before posting. :laugh:

You added no reasoning why you think the Moon images are real.

There's no need to prove their real, unless you're insane. There's a possibility to prove that they're fake, but no one has any actual, reasonable evidence of that being the case.

If you think there's some grand coverup involving thousands of people, multiple US Presidents, large-scale advanced technology and mounds of photo and video graphic proof, you might as well not believe anything is true.

Why do some people spend so much time trying to discredit something, someone would have already confirmed it was faked if it was fake, its very hard to keep a secret for 40 years. And, at the time the USSR would have jumped at any opportunity to discredit the US.

To be fair, the USSR had fields full of fake tanks and planes... a fake moon landing at the time would have been appropriate counter-propaganda.

Clearly the secret isn't being kept, with such websites. ;)

No one is trying to discredit -- rather they are seeking the truth on a given event.

To be fair how can anyone discredit the photo at the end of the 1st page of this thread with no tracks from the lunar vehicle. Hope can it move without leaving tracks?

My only thought on that is that maybe the tire treads became so full of dust, that there is only a flat, dusty tire surface left, so that there is nothing to make an impression in the 'dirt'. Maybe the reduced gravity also helped to not leave deep marks.

Kind of like your would not leave actual prints from your feet, if your wore socks.

I think I understand now what he meant by a white cloth/canvas.

The large area between the moon surface Scott is supposed to be standing on, and the hill in the background, is a very white area.

If you look at the larger version close up, it does look like it could be raised up, as a canvas or sheet might curl up at the edge, giving the impression that it is laying on top of the 'ground'.

Look at the left third of the picture, close up.

There looks like rover tracks on the dark dust surface, but not on the whiter area. The tracks suddenly end.

That's because there's a creator its driven up on lol

The pic with the rover tracks is a dune type thing. The tracks probably go back up the upside of the dune. I don't see anything that shows a canvas. Also people have to understand there is no wind to cause erosion on the moon. So the craters have a lip of dust on them .Its not a sheet or canvas.

I posted this to see what people thought -- unfortunately there aren't many intelligent replies.

I too, do not see the white sheet allegedly laying on the ground, and do not understand why there would be one, even on a movie set.

They may have sent men to the moon, however, it's pretty clear that none of the video or photographs were taken there.

For people who have a clue how light and photography works, it is in fact quite clear that all the videos and photographs where taken there.

as for the white sheet. there is no white sheet. it's called lighting based on geography. behind the astronaut the ground goes up in a small rolling "hill", there's then a brief drop in the terrain, making that terrain point away from the camera and thus can't be seen. it then goes back up again, as as it gets high enough to pop up behind the previous hill it gets visible again, and due to the angle of the up hill it's lighter, and thus you have a white "sheet", then it dips again further back, ad the hill in the background that's further back and thus send less light to the camera comes up behind it, and is darker from being further back and and angle from the sunlight. and voila there you have your magical white sheet, which really isn't, it's just sunshine on a rolling hill.

Of course the tracks end, as I explained to your previous post, it's a hilltop....

In the picture right next to the Astronaut you can see more tracks from the rover, just a bit harder to see what with all the footprints that would cover up the tracks like it would in the real world

Conspiratorial desert shot. If anyone has the patience to adjust the colours to match the moon shots... feel free. Look at all those unnatural lines, etc.

Only problem with your crappy analysis, is that there is ZERO weather on the Moon like there is on Earth [sic] "desert shot"!!

It is however blasted by rocks from space for millions of years :rolleyes:

I like how you removed the most important part out of the quote... If there had been any reason to believe it was fake the Russians would certainly have made a big fuss about it.

Honestly if you brought Hum to the moon itself showing a flag and the tracks, he'd still not believe it. It's almost a religion in its own right where the truth doesn't matter, only his perception full of wild explanations for proven facts.

He still wants to encourage discussion, and that's his agenda. If people get riled up about it, that's their problem, tbh these postings are better ignored rather than over than replied to.

Sorry, but you contradict yourself badly! What are you doing in this thread if, as you put it, " ...tbh these posting are better ignored rather than over [?] than [?] replied to." [??]

Sorry re-reading it it wasn't clear. I meant to say, if you get annoyed about them, perhaps it's better to ignore the posts :) I don't mind them, sometimes they are a bit frequent, but not so much lately. I just watch everyone trying to prove the obvious.

Watch the episode of Myth Busters....they went over many of the conspiracy theories...here are the links. These people are awesome!

You seriously take those **** poor fuzzy blurry images as proof of anything ??? LOL :rofl:

What they don't show- is what was leading up to that shot-

If someone were to take the time to look at video footage of the craft- it is something that can even happen on the Earth (ever been to a monster truck rally) ...OR WENT MUD BOGGING.... The moon buggy bounces because of the low gravity... heck there are even shots where the astronaut was bounced out of the seat... This shot could have easily been on the downward bump of the travel after hitting a slight incline...

imagining- hitting a slight incline - tires go off the moon-- land then -- it stops--- hence no tracks... think Monster truck rally when the truck hits a car and goes airborne... when it lands ... no tracks leading up to it.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • U.S. partially reverses Anthropic AI ban for Mythos but keeps Fable 5 off the market by Karthik Mudaliar Anthropic says that the U.S. government has finally allowed it to restore Claude Mythos 5. But of course, there's a catch. The rollout is again for a limited set of U.S. organizations that operate and defend critical infrastructure. The company announced this in a post on X (formerly Twitter). This does not mean that Anthropic's latest frontier models are back to normal availability. Fable 5, which was a tuned version of Mythos 5 for public release, remains unavailable. Anthropic said that it is still working with the government to expand Mythos 5 access and make Fable 5 available again, but there's no timeline. Reports from Bloomberg and Reuters say that this decision actually came through a letter from the U.S. Commerce Department. According to Reuters, this would allow more than 100 companies and institutions access to Mythos 5. Reuters also reported that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s letter removes the need for export licenses for approved companies’ non-US citizen employees, as well as Anthropic’s own non-US citizen employees, while restrictions remain for organizations outside the approved list. Anthropic isn't alone with this kind of controlled rollout. OpenAI's newest model family, GPT 5.6, was announced just yesterday, but isn't available for everyone yet. In its announcement, OpenAI also said that access to these models is initially limited to a select group of trusted partners and organizations, with broader access planned later this year. Both of these cases show that frontier AI launches are no longer just ordinary product releases and more like slow and vetted deployments shaped heavily by the U.S. government.

    • Microsoft Weekly: 5 years of Windows 11, more support for Windows 10, and expensive Xbox by Taras Buria This week's news recap is here, with Microsoft giving Windows 10 one more year of support, Windows 11 getting new taskbar settings in preview updates, Steam Machine prices, higher XBOX prices, and many more. Quick links: Windows 10 and 11 Windows Insider Program Updates are available Reviews are in Gaming news Great deals to check Windows 11 and Windows 10 Here, we talk about everything happening around Microsoft's latest operating system in the Stable channel and preview builds: new features, removed features, controversies, bugs, interesting findings, and more. And, of course, you may find a word or two about older versions. On June 24, 2026, Windows 11 turned five. The controversial operating system was released half a decade ago, and during these years, it received a fair share of criticism (such as poor Windows Search and its web results), which Microsoft is now actively addressing with regular preview updates that deliver missing, long-requested features. With Windows 12 nowhere to be seen on the horizon, it will be interesting to see if Windows 11 can stay on the market for as long as Windows 10 did. Speaking of Windows 10 and staying on the market, this week, Microsoft quietly prolonged the Extended Security Updates program for Windows 10, allowing users to get one more year of security updates if they do not want or cannot upgrade to Windows 11. Finally, Microsoft released this month's non-security update for Windows 11. KB5095093 arrived with a traditionally long list of new features, including point-in-time restore, new Windows Update settings, quieter Windows Widgets, new accessibility features, File Explorer updates and performance improvements, and more. Windows Insider Program Here is what Microsoft released for Windows Insiders this week: Builds Canary Channel Build 29617.1000 and build 28120.2374 These builds bring new accessibility features, new Windows Update controls, audio improvements, and more. Dev Channel Build 26300.8758 This build includes redesigned taskbar settings, File Explorer improvements, and more. Beta Channel Build 26220.8754 and build 28020.2366 This small update fixes the OneDrive bug in File Explorer, tweaks system sounds in dark mode, and more. Updates are available This section covers software, firmware, and other notable updates (released and coming soon) delivering new features, security fixes, improvements, patches, and more from Microsoft and third parties. If you use AI-powered browsing history search in Microsoft Edge, the company has bad news. A new update on the Microsoft 365 Roadmap revealed that Microsoft is discontinuing the feature. Despite using on-device models for natural search, some users found it creepy, claiming that Microsoft lacks trust in features like this. While the ability to find pages without using 100% precise words may sound cool, customers argued that it was nothing but another feature to bloat the browser with more AI. Good riddance? PowerToys received several updates this week. For one, Microsoft released version 0.100.1 with several improvements and bug fixes for the recently arrived version 0.100. A couple of days later, Microsoft dropped another update, this time fixing memory leaks in Command Palette Dock. In addition, the company is working on a new module that will make it easier to switch between windows within one application using the Alt + ` shortcut. The new module should make it to the stable release somewhere soon. Here are other updates and releases you may find interesting: New Ventoy update adds Windows 11's mandatory update support and more Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with chat cost tracking and multi-agent chats Microsoft is building an AI datacenter that "uses less water than a fast food restaurant" Microsoft adds new AI study and teaching tools for free to Microsoft 365 Education Researchers claim Microsoft's quantum breakthrough is flawed by basic Python errors Microsoft is bringing a much-needed Recap app to Teams Microsoft's fast coding model, MAI-Code-1-Flash, comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise Here are the latest drivers and firmware updates released this week: AMD Radeon Software 26.6.2 with FSR 4.1 support for RDNA 3 graphics card. However, the driver contained a bug, which prevented installations on Windows 10 PCs. AMD fixed that with a quick hotfix update. Reviews are in Here is the hardware and software we reviewed this week This week, Steven Parker published several reviews. He shared his experience with the Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe, a high-quality sound card with a headphone amp, low-latency communications, great build quality, and DSD256. However, it is on the pricier side of the spectrum, and it lacks EMI shielding. Check out the full review here. The second review is about the TerraMaster F4-425 Pro, an octa-core Intel NAS with a stand-out feature: built-in AI (OpenClaw). We also published a few Hands On reviews, which you can view below: We check out the SKG PS700 Neck Massager SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 hands on Hands-on with BOOX Tappy: cute little reading accessory Hands on with the ProtoArc EM25 affordable ergonomic mouse On the gaming side Learn about upcoming game releases, Xbox rumors, new hardware, software updates, freebies, deals, discounts, and more. If you plan to purchase a new Xbox, it's time to act now. This week, Microsoft announced yet another Xbox price increase. Starting August 1, 2026, all Xbox Series X|S models with 512 GB of storage will cost $100 more. As for the 1TB models, they are going up in price by a whopping $150. Finally, Microsoft is discontinuing the 2TB Xbox Series X. To make up for that, Microsoft announced a few programs to make its consoles more accessible. Those include BNPL, interest-free financing, pre-owned consoles, certified refurbished consoles, and more. Valve also shared some not-so-welcome news. The company has finally announced prices of the upcoming Steam Machine console, and if you plan to buy one, get ready to spend a whopping $1,049 on the 512GB configuration. The Steam Machine is now available for preorder, with shipments scheduled for June 29, 2026. Grand Theft Auto VI also received its official price tag. Rockstar Games announced that the long-anticipated game will launch at $79.99 for the base edition and $99.99 for the ultimate edition. The latter includes an exclusive collection of premium vehicles, weapons, apparel, and action threaded across all aspects of Jason and Lucia’s story." Those who preorder the game will get extra bonuses, including a Vintage Vice City Pack of cosmetic items as well as a free month of GTA+. NVIDIA announced new games for its GeForce NOW streaming service. Those include Dark Scrolls, SAND: Raiders of Sophie, Deer & Boy, EMPULSE, and more. Steam is running its annual Summer Sale, during which you can purchase plenty of various games with big discounts. It runs until July 9, so in case you missed it, you can still get some games at a lower price. Also, you can get two games for free in the Epic Games Store, plus more deals are available in this week's Weekend PC Game Deals issue. This link will take you to other issues of the Microsoft Weekly series.

    • Text extractor hasn't been working great on 0.99.1 but I am now updating to this version, hopefully it's better!
    • Yet you did exactly what they wanted you to do - is it better now without "Europrats"? BTW, UK had joined EU (EEC back then) and was one of the leading member states, it never joined Schengen Zone though 😉
