Hilarious. You do realise that all the Astra satellites used by Sky point their transmission to a particular point of the earth, you know, the point at which your dish is aligned to? The sky dishes dont actually align to the satelites themselves. As for satellites malfunctioning, yes it happens but its extremely rare. Most just run out of fuel and all that happens is another of the Astra satellites take over.

Turn your oven to 180 degrees centigrade and leave it for a few minutes to warm up. Now open the door and stick your hand in. In that brief moment you can tolerate the heat you are getting just a taste of what both cooling systems had to overcome for hours - even days.
What nonsense. When you put your hand inside the hot oven you feel the hot GAS. There IS no gas on the Moon. Back to the drawing board.
Plus, of course I can put my hand in the oven, and keep it there. I can even handle safely and easily the extremely hot shelveas and any baking trays - as long as I put on my million dollar spacesuit. Or - a £3 oven glove from Asda will enable me to perform just such miracles. So a £3 oven glove can protect us from much higher temperatures. Just think how much more proetction a designer million dollar spacesuit could do

Why would they say that if not true? Wouldn't it be a very odd thing to script? But, here's a nice summary
Quote:The ascent stage was covered in aluminum that was painted, etched, or anodized to give each panel precise absorptive properties. The ascent engine fuel likes to be kept at about room temperature, so the bulbous tank enclosures had a reasonable fraction of black panels. The electronics bay was in the back and subjected to the full brunt of the rising sun. Its panels are therefore quite brightly colored to reflect away most of that. The crew cabin was on the shady side and so simply didn't get much sun.

Er, does the fact that jet thrusters are (for obvious reasons) silent in a vacuum, assist you? Add to that the facts that Armstrong's mike was inside his spacesuit and thus well-insulated from any noise from outside the spacesuit, and I really don't see any issue here.

The LEm didn't descend vertically like Thunderbirds, it came along a path, and only a very brief final part of the descent was at practically zer ground speed. At this point the LEM was already descending very slowly and so only gentle thrusts would be needed to slow the descnt in the last seconds for a gentle klanding. Before the actual touchdown no part of the surface would be heated as the fuel comes out basically as gas and - that pesky vacuum again - does not behave like on Earth, but extremely rapidly expands in the vacuum of space.

You see - anyone who understands the full significance of the INVERSE SQUARE LAW, f-stops and dynamic range must instantly realise there's something very WRONG with many of the photographs.
There is absolutley nothing "wrong" with any of the photographs. These objections have been debunked to death and it is asinine to persist with them.

Without reference to a specific image there is no point in going into detail, but you seem to make the same basic mistake that most moon hoax nuts do, expecting "silhouettes. In fact, there is plenty of scattered light on the Moon, the sunlight hits the regolith, and is scattered in all directions at it is reflected. Why (and you may find this hard to believe, but trust me) not only can that reflected light illuminate astronauts on the surface, it can also illuminate your own back yard, despite it being 250,000 miles away.

The light on the Moon is anything but "low". When the sun comes up, it is 100% neat sun, no atmosphere to scatter. How could it be "low light"? You're not stupid, so why say that? The light is so high, it seems very bright from fscking Earth. What is your definition of "low light"????
Anyway, I wouldn't waste my time as I can see the real images, and as I'm not planning to go to the moon any time soon, and as I don't own a 70mm 500EL Hasselblad

Sky say though:

Unfortunately I can't provide any further information on this due to ongoing investigations.
We are taking this matter seriously and I can assure you that we're working to put a stop to this.
Thanks for taking the time to express your concern on this issue.
The point is, you are getting the Sky satellite feed, whether legally or not. If it was all coming through some analogue ground broadcats you would be wasting your money needlessly, even if it isn't very much.

You dumb oik. It doesn't matter whether every last molecule of air was pumped out of space - Sound waves are travelling vibrations of particles in media such as air, water or METAL.
Maybe you should take science again at school.

I defined the sun as a point source of light. Given that there are no other light sources (and as you say - no atmospheric scatter) it's perfectly acceptable to classify ALL the shots as low light from a flash photography perspective because as I've said - a flash functions equally well as a point source of light providing it is not close.

You don't need a Hasselblad you dumbass. The laws of photography work equally well for all cameras.

Backlighting (in far better light conditions than on the moon).
Compare with countless backlit NASA images. Notice anything?
Any experienced flash photographer knows the difference between NATURAL light and THEATRICAL light. And as I said - the LAWS of photography work equally well on the moon and regardless of camera technology.
