    So I can see the moon landing sites with a telescope, but a satellite, like used for Google maps can not show definitive proof of moon landing missions? Only a truly gullible person would find any proof we went to the moon in this video?

    I’m not a moon landing Truther, but [1:53] makes a really bad point. Armstrong and Buzz Lightyear both said they didn’t remember being able to see stars. So that’s not going to win you any points in a strictly debate-strategy context.

    For moon landing Truthers: It is true that our astronomy/physics have progressed much since ‘69. Our theoretical knowledge has progressed beyond our achievements. But for context: we STILL don’t know how the Egyptian and mesoamerican pyramids, or other megalithic structures, were built. Yet we know infinitely MORE about physics and construction than the ancients. Our theoretical knowledge exceeds our achievements.

      Fair point except you are comparing lost technology from 5000 years ago (pyramids) to tech from 1970s (50 years ago). Many people that worked on the Apollo program are still alive. I assume they just forgot how they did it.

      +Ferruccio Alderisi I generally don’t search for deep answers to government incompetence. I generally tend to think we went to the moon and faked the footage for international proof.

    Yeah and the Holocaust never happened too right!?. You guys got nothing else to do then make shit up. Oh and the Chinese never landed on the DarkSide of the moon either… what like just 2 months ago? Peeps get a life.

    Curios…how could actual flesh plus sensitive electrical systems make it past the vast miles of cosmic rays every where and deadly gamma rays…….even if traveling at say 15000 miles an hour they would ave been helpless in the unshielded ship…….?? There is footage of hanging objects just waving or like blowing back and forth hang on the lem….in some of later trips…..they notice the flapping back and forth then one astronaut tell the other look…….then he goes and just ays e tool bag or whatever it is on the side…something was moving t making it wave like a type of havoc system…….in a studio……..why no micrometeorites ……..hitting anyone or anything………? How could certain equipment Abel to function in -250 degrees tems….like the film in the cameras…..it woul ave been too cold for old tech film….why none f astronauts had cases of any…..type of cancer….from flying thru the Earth’s magnetosphere …….strange…..??

    You should do a video on why we cant put a man beyond low earth orbit today, 50 years later and no one can, but we did it many times 50 years ago? Educate us…..

    I’ve never really looked into the whole moon landing controversy, but just watching this video alone has almost convinced me we never landed on the moon. Even if we did land on the moon this video provides a very poor defense.

    I’d really like to hear about those super space suits that could handle 275F in the sunlight and switch in an instant to -275 in the shadows. 1960s tech was the shit. Also that lander had some delicate ass thrusters to not char the moon surface as it sat down. 7 missions without a single problem. America was on top of its fucking game back then.

      Yeah you make an excellent point!!! they have had “problems” leaving earth multiple times trying to get to moon but not one time did they have problems getting BACK to earth. That’s odd ???

    this video settles nothing except the footprint of the astronaut sinks in about an inch yet the foot on the lem moduel is pristine.. makes no sense …. as far as the stars she’s right butr you could compose for just the stars.. esp with a tripod without the bright foreground…why doesnt she mention that ??? the camera was hooked up to the chest on the space suit……..making it even more difficult to shoot ..can look into the viewfinder…cant focus in the traditonal sense….just sounds a bit crazy

    NOT SAYING it was fake, but why did Apollo astronauts say they couldn’t see stars while ISS workers said they could? Also, can information be sent through the Van Allen belt or not? Also, why did NASA destroy the original tapes? Just looking for answers.

    This is obviously misinformation. Just listen to the choice of narrator first . A millennial affirmative female voice . Of course we should trust this wise old vice of reason .

    they still sell this BS..feel sorry for our children that got to use cams that can zoom into the moon and see it for themselves..for.p900 thats 400 bucks..lol this BS the gov pays to put out is sad

    So in the age of technology where the common folks have access to HD camera’s… why havn’t the bullshit artist made a modern day moon landing to debunk everything? Reasons? Its much harder to fake the 2019 world than it was back in the 60’s.

    1). Who did the testing of the rocks? And who supplied the rocks? ?
    2). Using a telescope on Earth can see remnants from the Apollo missions? No, we can’t. ?
    3). Done after the first two.

    So many stupid people in the comments. If America never landed on the moon, Russia would have exposed them. Not to mention, CHINA sent an orbital to the moon and captured pictures of the American landing sites.

Further Reading/Viewing: “The Man with a Shattered World: The History of a Brain Wound,” by A. R. Luria.

“Zjoek/Zhuk,” written and directed by Erik van Zuyen (1987):

Lev Zasetsky could have been an anonymous human data point in history’s largest conflict — just another one of tens of millions of casualties in World War II, the treatment of which stretched deep into the Cold War. But his particular brain injury was so peculiar that he drew the interest of Alexander Luria, the Soviet Union’s most accomplished neuropsychologist, as Lev became a complex mix of scientific oddity and miracle.

Zasetsky’s form of aphasia resulted in him being able to write, but not read his own writing or even understand all of what he had written. It’s a case that delves into the earliest history of Popular Science and reframes our modern understanding of psychology, history, language, communication, and the human spirit.

How to Make a YouTube Video in 1987

Decades before software like Premiere and iMovie made video editing cheap, easy, and accessible for everyone, the only option was chaining a conglomerate of vintage 80s technology – multiple camcorders or VCRs and a TV – to craft custom analog video. Then the Videonics system changed tech history forever.

With professional-grade setups costing up to six figures at the time, the Videonics brought simple editing to the masses at a tiny fraction of the price… in theory. The reality of the Videonics video editing system was a jumbled mess of retro tech that took a near-miracle to make your kid’s 8th grade jazz band concert video look a little more polished.

And getting it all to work over 35 years later? It took 8 VCRs, 2 camcorders, 3 Videonics units and 4 remotes to create a 1987-era YouTube masterpiece. But in the end, it revealed the beauty and drive of the first-generation analog filmmakers and videographers who made YouTube possible for all of us.

Nearly 50 years ago, the Polavision camera blended Polaroid’s revolutionary instant film with on-demand home video – and the result was a landmark advance in analog technology that would become a mystery of science and a winding international journey into vintage tech.

Because now, generations after Edwin Land bet his half-century legacy of innovation and the company he founded on the success of the Polavision, I need to figure out how to get the thing to work… and only one man in the world could help me.

I traveled to Vienna, Austria to meet Florian “Doc” Kaps – the man behind ‘The Impossible Project’ that saved Polaroid from the dustbin of history. With his guidance and his private store of old Polaroid video tapes, perhaps I would be able to record a modern YouTube video with my vintage Polavision camera.

Through it all, Doc immersed me into his world of analog technology and the philosophy behind his mission to re-integrate analog into our daily lives. We cut lacquer records, we felt the fires of an analog restaurant, and we spent too much time trying to resurrect a relic of the past – because technology, vintage and modern, is all about people.
