Using the slightly better quality version here, I converted it to real-time 30fps (29.97) The question that the promoters like Marik are holding out on is if the panning continues during the "fly-off". It's a little hard to see with all the...

Well, this is annoying. I've only just noticed that the version I was working on is actually a cropped and degraded version. The YouTube video starts out with 1m24s of the object first flying (apparent) left (west), and then right (east). It's...

This touches one of my favorite non-Moon-Hoax arguments. Even the tiniest particle (and moon dust is extremely fine) not only falls down relatively fast despite low gravity and due to no air-resistance; it always travels along perfect ballistic...

Less transparency is not going to help.

This is not necessarily the case. Some objects can be more reflective than emissive. Hypothetically speaking, if this object was a mylar balloon it could be reflecting IR from its surroundings more than the heat and IR from within. Here's an...

I have — and I've had a dialogue with both Clarke and Robinson about this. After crafting the "UFO" from cardboard, it took me around ten minutes to set up the entire scene, and wind wasn't really an issue even though it was a fairly windy day...

It's a valid question, but I do think there were six photos. The handwritten memo refers to them as "a number of color photographs" and also speaks of the negatives in the plural: And the Loose Minute dated 14 September 1990 clearly states that...

I now use a 3D illuminated model of the Moon to accurately display the phase. I also added a "Celestial Lock" to the Camera -> Camera Heading, to let you lock the camera to point at a particular celestial body.

[As a final note to this little incident, Journal Contributors John Pfannerstill and Karsten Rinkema have noted a brightening of the TV image at the right side of the frame, immediately after Dave finishes saying "Easy, Jim! Easy! Oop.". This is...

Interesting. The folding mechanics of the rover were all spring loaded. Pins were being pulled out by wires and the corresponding part would fall into place. Springs, pins and wires had to go somewhere and maybe they kind of whipped up some dust...

Wow!
