This is absolutely fantastic, but isn't it interesting that when submitted 159 days ago (in the interests of full disclosure - yes, by me) it got one comment and just 4 upvotes. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4710201 Clearly this is an item of interest to the HN community, and equally clearly last time it was missed by so many people.

Finally! Conclusive proof that the moon landings were faked! It can be done on a computer! edit: clearly sarcasm. I wonder, they've gone all the way till the Eagle has landed, why not go further and include Neil Armstrong's small step for man recording?
If it is fake we should be able to know it right ? i mean the team did leave some stuff on the moon , so why cant people just watch the moon with powerfull big telescope and look for clues ? if there are some gear on the moon then the landing was genuine.
If you can't get enough of this, let me recommend: A Man on the Moon - http://www.amazon.com/Man-Moon-Voyages-Apollo-Astronauts/dp/... And the HBO series based on it: From the Earth to the Moon - http://www.amazon.com/From-Earth-Moon-Collectors-Edition/dp/...
And I'd recommend "Apollo - The Race To The Moon" by Murray & Cox. Unlike most books about the US space program, this deals with everything except the astronauts. I've read it so many times my copy is falling apart...
My main thought is the amount of stuff the astronauts had to deal with while the moon is looking mighty big in the windows.
It appears to be the very definition of a high stress environment.
OK. That website made it feel like I live in The Future. I grew up in The Space Age (Project Mercury onward) and I still get chills whenever I see TV programs or movies about it. Now this site too.

For those who believe in a conspiracy, even if we had visible dead bodies on the moon would not convince you that we managed to fly live people there, let alone have them come back. After all, it would be way simpler to just send a dead astronaut up there?

Thanks, I'll read that. "Flight" by Gene Kranz, is also an amazing book.
