Landing on the Moon was viewed as a national and technological accomplishment that would generate world-wide acclaim. 2. Measuring 100' in diameter and 122' high, it was ideal for testing the Mars lander systems and International Space Station hardware. The second stage of the launch rocket or the Lunar Module ascent stage or both made no visible flame. Note the near-transparency of the exhaust, even in air (water is being sprayed up from below), Atlas uses non-hypergolic kerosene (RP-1) fuel which gives a bright and very visible exhaust, 1.5MN (340,000lbf) of thrust, Bright flame from first stage of the Saturn V, burning RP-1, 3. Plum Brook is part of the Glenn Research Center, located some 80 kilometers east in Cleveland. The center did not bring the Rocket Systems Area sites, which had fallen into disrepair during the interim, back online. After a three-year search, the "inescapable conclusion" was that about 45 tapes (estimated 15 tapes recorded at each of the three tracking stations) of Apollo 11 video were erased and re-used, said Nafzger. Several scenes in 2001 show dust billowing as spacecraft landed, something that would not happen in the vacuum environment of the Moon. However, five hours before transmission they were told to stand down. Between 1975 and 1985, the researchers investigated several different configurations on the machine. The war was one of several federal budget items with which NASA had to compete; NASA's budget peaked in 1966, and fell by 42% by 1972. Consider supporting our work by becoming a member for as little as $5 a month. On the makeup of the Moon rocks, Kaysing asked: "Why was there never a mention of gold, silver, diamonds or other precious metals on the moon? Offer available only in the U.S. (including Puerto Rico). Moreover, even if someone wanted to use the chamber, it is unusable in its current condition, according to the IG. In the 1970s the center expanded the scope of its work into new areas, such as renewable energy sources. The contrast has been tweaked (yielding the "spotlight effect") and a black band has been pasted at the top. The site where Michigan launched its first rocket into space lies abandoned in the dense woods along Lake Superior. It is now accepted by the scientific community that rocks have been blasted from both the Martian and lunar surface during impact events, and that some of these have landed on the Earth as meteorites. Activities at the reactor were terminated immediately, and the other facilities would shut down by fiscal year 1974. Two of these a wind tunnel called the Hypersonic Test Facility, and the Cryogenic Components Laboratory, which is now slated for demolition have not been used in four years, the IG wrote. 6. [151][152] In November 2002, Peter Jennings said "NASA is going to spend a few thousand dollars trying to prove to some people that the United States did indeed land men on the Moon," and "NASA had been so rattled, [they] hired [somebody] to write a book refuting the conspiracy theorists." [159] "Given SMART-1's initial high orbit, however, it may prove difficult to see artifacts," said Foing in an interview on space.com. The Gas Handling Area was removed in March 2010, followed by the High Energy Rocket Engine Research Facility (B1) and Nuclear Rocket Dynamics and Control Facility (B3) facilities in fall 2010. By the time of Apollo 11, the United States had a lead much wider than that. Kubrick had no such brother the article was a spoof, complete with a giveaway sentence describing Kubrick shooting the moonwalk "on location" on the Moon. Some of the testings were done in a NASA training facility. NASA and ERDA constructed larger wind turbines at other sites around the country to study the integration of wind energy into the local power grids. The slow-scan television images were not on the tape. This article incorporates public domain material from websites or documents of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The 221-page operation manual for the LRV contains some detailed drawings,[129] although not the blueprints. NASA shelved other major programs, such as a space station and long-duration human journeys to other planets. The presence of retroreflectors (mirrors used as targets for Earth-based tracking lasers) from the Laser Ranging Retroreflector Experiment (LRRR) is evidence that there were landings. It's home to the antenna that received the first images of Neil Armstrong walking on the moon. I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Last used in 1998 to test the upper stage of Boeings ill-fated Delta 3 launch vehicle, B-2s steam ejection system which has been broken for years needs $15 million worth of repairs before the chamber can properly simulate high-altitude conditions required for engine tests, according to the IG. The most notable claim is that the six crewed landings (1969-1972)were faked and that twelve Apollo astronautsdid not actually walk on the Moon. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you . Orion progress at KSC, consumable offload planned for EM-1. Experimental efforts included scientific and technical investigations of nuclear energy for spaceflight propulsion, nuclear power systems, and radiation exposure. 5. By the late 1970s, NASA decided to continue the maintenance of the reactor, Space Power Facility (SPF), Spacecraft Propulsion Research Facility (B2), Cryogenic Propellant Tank Facility (K Site), and the Hypersonic Tunnel Facility (HTF), but ceased protecting the other Rocket Systems Area sites. [181] The Apollo 14 astronauts deployed a retroreflector on February 5, 1971, and McDonald Observatory detected it the same day. BROOK PARK, Ohio NASA proposed a budget on Monday of $802.4 million for Glenn Research Center in fiscal 2021, down from an unofficial 2020 budget of $945 million. [115][116] Apollo 11 data tapes containing telemetry and the high-quality video (before scan conversion from slow-scan TV to standard TV) of the first moonwalk are also missing. Moon-landing conspiracists focus heavily on NASA photos. Nevertheless, the claim was taken up in earnest;[144] Clyde Lewis used it almost word-for-word,[143] whereas Jay Weidner gave the brother a more senior status within the party: No one knows how the powers-that-be convinced Kubrick to direct the Apollo landings. Lowry Digital president Mike Inchalik said that, "this is by far and away the lowest quality" video the company has dealt with. [142] The fact sheet is particularly blunt and regards the idea of faking the Moon landings to be preposterous and outlandish. Some main arguments (set in plain text) and counter-arguments (set in italics) are listed below. [24], Conspiracist Bart Sibrel responded, incorrectly asserting that, "the Soviets did not have the capability to track deep space craft until late in 1972, immediately after which, the last three Apollo missions were abruptly canceled. During the period 1961 to 1972, at least eight Soviet serving and former cosmonauts died: Additionally, the overall chief of their crewed-spaceflight program, Sergei Korolev, died while undergoing surgery in January 1966.

It was shut down 12 years later . A-3 was to be the high-altitude test site for the mothballed J-2X upper-stage engine, designed to power the Ares 5 cargo launcher canceled along with Constellation. The criminal conspiracy involved distributing fentanyl and other similar substances from Canada and China into the United States, resulting in 15 overdoses, four of which were fatal. The US$230,000 restoration project took months to complete and did not include sound quality improvements. Other Federal agencies, including the Environmental Protection Agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigations, and the Department of the Interior, set up offices in the empty Engineering Building. However, Kubrick only got this lens for Barry Lyndon (1975). DESIGN OF THE NASA GLENN RESEARCH CENTER'S WORLD-CLASS REVERBERANT ACOUSTIC TEST FACILITY . As of January 2015, NASA, the Department of Defense, and commercial launch providers are using or have plans to use the [Space Power Facility] through at least 2020 to test space-related hardware, including for NASAs Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle, the IG wrote. Lewis reactivated the B2 vacuum chamber in 1987, SPF and K Site in 1988, and the HTF in 1993. Covering the business and politics of space. A street in front of NASA's D.C. headquarters has been named in honor of the Black women who were essential to early spaceflight. 1. The entire process ultimately cost $253 million, significantly more than the inflation-adjusted cost of constructing the facility.[4]. [146][147] This thesis was the subject of refutation in an article published on Seeker nearly half a year later.[148]. These beautiful wineries were at the center of Lake Erie's "grape belt" back when the Midwest dominated American wine production. Engineers inspect the inlet of a prototype Hypersonic Research Engine scramjet prior to a test run in Hypersonic Tunnel Facility. 4. NASA raised "about US$30 billion" to go to the Moon, and Kaysing claimed in his book that this could have been used to "pay off" many people. [195], There are subcultures worldwide which advocate the belief that the Moon landings were faked. Meanwhile, prospects are even worse for three of Plum Brooks other major testing facilities. The most notable claim is that the six crewed landings (19691972) were faked and that twelve Apollo astronauts did not actually walk on the Moon. Cropped photo of Buzz Aldrin saluting the flag (the fingers of Aldrin's right hand can be seen behind his helmet), Cropped photo taken a few seconds later, Buzz Aldrin's hand is down, head turned toward the camera, the flag is unchanged, Animation of the two photos, showing that though Armstrong's camera moved between exposures, the flag is not waving. It was 1 year to the day after the approval of the shuttle and just 17 days after the splashdown of the final Apollo mission. [40], The American Patriot Friends Network claimed in 2009 that the landings helped the United States government distract public attention from the unpopular Vietnam War, and so crewed landings suddenly ended about the same time that the United States ended its involvement in the war. All rights reserved. By 1975 there were only a handful of NASA employees left at Plum Brook Station to supervise the contractors that maintained the facilities. Of special concern to the IG is Plum Brooks B-2 Spacecraft Propulsion Research Facility, a cavernous vacuum chamber built in 1964 and used to test-fire rocket engines in space-like conditions. Parkes supposedly had the clearest video feed from the Moon, but Australian media and all other known sources ran a live feed from the United States. Apollo 17 LM leaving the Moon; rocket exhaust visible only briefly, Apollo 8 launch through the first stage separation, Exhaust flame may not be visible outside the atmosphere, as in this photo. Page Editor: Robert Arrighi Our premier ground test facilities support powered flight through the atmosphere and beyond. Those who believe the Moon landings were faked offer several theories about the motives of NASA and the United States government. Since in 1969 water was believed to be absent on the Moon, no geologist discussed finding these on the Moon in any great amount. One rebuttal by Sibrel to this claim is that NASA had compartmentalized all of the work on the Apollo program. [28] The Soviet Union tracked the Apollo missions at the Space Transmissions Corps, which was "fully equipped with the latest intelligence-gathering and surveillance equipment. Some selections of restored footage in high-definition have been made available on the NASA website. A Fraud! [125], Grumman appears to have destroyed most of its LM documentation,[116][126] but copies of the blueprints for the Saturn V exist on microfilm.[127]. NASA Glenn Research Center's Plum Brook Station in Sandusky, Ohio, houses the world's largest, most powerful space environment simulation facilities, most powerful spacecraft acoustic test chamber, and highest capacity and most powerful spacecraft shaker system. Bart Sibrel cites the relative level of the United States and USSR space technology as evidence that the Moon landings could not have happened. ", "End of Conspiracy Theories? [46][47] To date, nobody from the United States government or NASA linked to the Apollo program has said the Moon landings were hoaxes. The Neil A. Armstrong Test Facility (formerly known as Plum Brook Station) is part of NASA's Glenn Research Center in Ohio. They called on NASA to restore the test facilities at Plum Brook and resume operation. [11], Vince Calder and Andrew Johnson, scientists from Argonne National Laboratory, have given detailed answers to conspiracists' claims on the laboratory's website. [a][15] Folklorist Linda Dgh suggests that writer-director Peter Hyams' film Capricorn One (1978), which shows a hoaxed journey to Mars in a spacecraft that looks identical to the Apollo craft, might have given a boost to the hoax theory's popularity in the post-Vietnam War era. In 2002, Alex R. Blackwell of the University of Hawaii pointed out that some photos taken by Apollo astronauts[158] while in orbit around the Moon show the landing sites. Rocket engines are the dark structures at the bottom center, The launch of a Titan II, burning hypergolic Aerozine-50/N2O4, 1.9MN (430,000lbf) of thrust. [145], In July 2009, Weidner posted on his webpage "Secrets of the Shining", where he states that Kubrick's The Shining (1980) is a veiled confession of his role in the scam project. Maybe they had compromised Kubrick in some way. The Moon rocks also share the same traits as Soviet samples.[169]. WASHINGTON All but one of the five big test facilities at NASAs Plum Brook Station in Sandusky, Ohio, have few or no customers, and the situation is unlikely to change any time soon, according to an April 23 report from NASAs inspector general (IG). A remote Ohio facility used to test NASA's new moon-bound spacecraft has been renamed for the first astronaut to step foot on the lunar surface. ESA now is planning to build a test stand in Europe to accommodate such tests, the IG wrote. 6. [182] Smaller retroreflectors were also put on the Moon by the Russians; they were attached to the uncrewed lunar rovers Lunokhod 1 and Lunokhod 2. And considering the cost of maintaining them, this was no small issue. The documentary reinvigorated the public's interest in conspiracy theories and the possibility that the Moon landings were faked, which has provoked NASA to once again defend its name. The fairing is an essential piece of hardware for the Hawthorne, California, companys commercial satellite launches. [128] Three of them were carried to the Moon on Apollos 15, 16, and 17, used by the astronauts for transportation once on the Moon, and left there. The tapes contain the original and highest quality video feed from the Apollo 11 landing. The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) launched their SELENE Moon orbiter on September 14, 2007 (JST), from Tanegashima Space Center. The quality of the photographs is implausibly high. [39] There was in fact no video broadcast during either the landing or takeoff because of technological limitations. Some conspiracists have suggested that Starfish Prime (a high-altitude nuclear test in 1962) formed another intense layer on the Van Allen belt.[82]. [151] Oberg said that he meant to finish the book. We hypothesized that (a) endorsement of COVID-19 conspiracy theories is positively associated with support for VR, and (b) psychological distress modifies the relationship between COVID-19 conspiracy theories and support for VR. [194] Another poll gives that 25% of 18- to 25-year-olds surveyed were unsure that the landings happened. Engineers at NASA's Plum Brook Station in Sandusky, Ohio, began the first of a series of modal tests on a structural representation of the crew module adapter (CMA) for Orion. [117][118], Dr. David R. Williams (NASA archivist at Goddard Space Flight Center) and Apollo 11 flight director Eugene F. Kranz both acknowledged that the original high-quality Apollo 11 telemetry data tapes are missing. Close-up of later generation prints of AS16-107-17446, 9. Some facilities have already been penciled in for demolition, including the Cryogenic Components Laboratory. The reactor was originally planned for the NACA nuclear airplane project. Only Plum Brooks Space Power Facility, a cavernous vacuum chamber for testing full-scale space hardware, has a steady stream of customers lined up, according to the inspector general. The mockumentary based on this idea, Dark Side of the Moon, could have fueled the conspiracy theory. In 2004 NASA began funding the demolition of unused facilities across the agency. 4. There are no stars in any of the photos; the Apollo 11 astronauts also stated in post-mission press conferences that they did not remember seeing any stars during extravehicular activity (EVA). 12. Who filmed Neil Armstrong stepping onto the Moon? The reactor first went critical on 14 June 1961, and was finally shut down on 5 January 1973. The digital technology on Earth during the time of the Moon landings was just in its infancy. It is argued that, because the USSR was unable to do this, the United States should have also been unable to develop the technology to do so. [162] A three-dimensional reconstructed photo also matched the terrain of an Apollo 15 photo taken from the surface. According to James Longuski, the conspiracy theories are impossible because of their size and complexity. [199], In 2019, Ipsos conducted a study for C-Span to assess the level of belief that the 1969 Moon landing was faked. The astronauts had relied on computers to aid in the Moon missions. [166], China's second lunar probe, Chang'e 2, which was launched in 2010, can photograph the lunar surface with a resolution of up to 7m (23ft). Dgh writes: "The mass media catapult these half-truths into a kind of twilight zone where people can make their guesses sound as truths. These may be labeled studio props. 3. Marcus Allen, a conspiracist, answered that no photos of hardware on the Moon would convince him that human landings had happened. Baron was a quality control inspector who wrote a report critical of the Apollo program and was an outspoken critic of NASA's safety record after the Apollo 1 fire. [164] The Intrepid lander descent stage, experiment package (ALSEP), Surveyor 3 spacecraft, and astronaut footpaths are all visible. In terms of astronaut/cosmonaut time, the USSR had 534 hours of crewed spaceflight whereas the United States had 1,992 hours. Moon landing conspiracy theories claim that some or all elements of the Apollo program and the associated Moon landings were hoaxes staged by NASA, possibly with the aid of other organizations. [184] A 1999 Gallup Poll found that 6% of the Americans surveyed doubted that the Moon landings happened and that 5% of those surveyed had no opinion,[185][186][187][188] which roughly matches the findings of a similar 1995 Time/CNN poll. Plum Brook is part of the NASA John H. Glenn Research Center and is home to unique world-class facilities that conduct critical and innovative tests for the international aerospace community. It shows the Earth with the correct background of stars, Long-exposure photo (1.6 seconds at f/2.8, ISO 10000) from the ISS in July 2011 of Space Shuttle Atlantis re-entry in which some stars are visible. NASA also used the Space Power Facility to test its Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle. Because von Braun was a former SS officer (though one who had been detained by the Gestapo),[170] the documentary film Did We Go? Filmmaker Stanley Kubrick is accused of having produced much of the footage for Apollos 11 and 12, presumably because he had just directed 2001: A Space Odyssey, which is partly set on the Moon and featured advanced special effects. Moreover, the USSR did not develop a successful rocket capable of a crewed lunar mission until the 1980s their N1 rocket failed on all four launch attempts between 1969 and 1972.

[163] Photos of the Apollo 12 landing site were released by NASA on September 3, 2009. Its walls are 2 feet thick to withstand the blast of powerful . Also, six of the twelve Apollo astronauts who flew to the Moon without landing between 1968 and 1972 are still alive. [168], The Apollo program collected 380kg (838lb) of Moon rocks during the six crewed missions. Using the scientific process, any hypothesis that is contradicted by the observable facts may be rejected. As a result, Lewis partnered with the Energy Research and Development Administration (ERDA) to construct a series of experimental large horizontal axis wind turbines. The number of photos taken is implausibly high. In 2015, a report from NASAs inspector general made the disconcerting announcement that all but one of the major test facilities at Plum Brook Station had few or no customers. The tapes are believed to have been stored rather than re-used. Since 2012, Plum Brook Station has received about $31 million in annual funding from NASA, most of which comes from the agency's Construction and Environmental Compliance account the budget. The Plum Brook Reactor was a NASA 60 megawatt water-cooled and moderated research nuclear reactor,[1][2] located in Sandusky, Ohio, 50mi west of the NASA Glenn Research Center (at that time the NASA Lewis Research Center) in Cleveland, of which it was organizationally a part. He described the emergence of the atomic age and the weapons of mass destruction that were piling up in the storehouses of the American and Soviet nations. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Glenn Research Center (GRC) is leading the design and build of the new world-class vibroacoustic test capabilities at the NASA GRC's Plum Brook Station in Sandusky, Ohio, USA. Plum Brook Station, located about 50 miles west of NASA's Glenn Research enter in Sandusky, Ohio, is home to several unique space-related test facilities, including the Space Power Facility (SPF), an environmental simulation chamber used to test hardware in a simulated space or planetary environment. 1. "[29] Vasily Mishin, in an interview for the article "The Moon Programme That Faltered," describes how the Soviet Moon program dwindled after the Apollo landings. NASA refers to the rocks and particles collected from the Moon as being evidence of the program's legitimacy, as they claim that these rocks could not have been formed under conditions on Earth. Engineers carefully deactivated the facilities in such a way that they could be restored in the future. "[196][197], James Oberg of ABC News said that the conspiracy theory is taught in Cuban schools and wherever Cuban teachers are sent. Much third-party evidence for the landings exists, and detailed rebuttals to the hoax claims have been made. The foremost idea is that the whole crewed landing program was a hoax from start to end. The angle and color of shadows are inconsistent. claimed NASA faked the first landing in 1969 to win the Space Race. NASA Glenn's Space Power Facility in Sandusky, Ohio, contains the world's largest space simulation chamber. We depend on ad revenue to craft and curate stories about the worlds hidden wonders. Furthermore, NASA and others say that these gains by the Soviets are not as impressive as they seem; that a number of these firsts were mere stunts that did not advance the technology greatly, or at all, e.g., the first woman in space. Plum Brook Station is the 2590 hectare (6400 acre) field station of NASA Glenn Research Center. At a press conference Thursday, Marvel Studio officials said Plum Brook played a vital role in bringing the movie to Ohio. NASA officials were happy to get the business and hope it will be. [20], Hoax theory debunker Phil Plait says in his 2002 book Bad Astronomy,[b] that the Soviets with their own competing Moon program, an extensive intelligence network and a formidable scientific community able to analyze NASA data would have 'cried foul' if the United States tried to fake a Moon landing,[21] especially since their own program had failed. [166][167] The Indian Space Research Organisation launched their uncrewed lunar probe on September 8, 2008 (IST), from Satish Dhawan Space Centre. The astronauts could not have survived the trip because of exposure to radiation from the Van Allen radiation belt and galactic ambient radiation (see radiation poisoning and health threat from cosmic rays). The first was a 100-kW experimental wind turbine at Plum Brook that Lewis researchers erected and operated. Indeed, current plans for a Martian sample return would only gather about 500g (18oz) of soil,[175] and a recently proposed South Pole-Aitken basin robot mission would only gather about 1kg (2.2lb) of Moon rock. The reactor and Rocket Systems Area remained shuttered. NASA Glenn's Space Power Facility in Sandusky, Ohio, contains the world's largest space simulation chamber. [38] The counter-argument generally given is that NASA in fact did incur a great deal of public humiliation and potential political opposition to the program by losing an entire crew in the Apollo 1 fire during a ground test, leading to its upper management team being questioned by Senate and House of Representatives space oversight committees. The program demonstrated several technologies employed by large wind turbines today. Four mission-worthy Lunar Roving Vehicles (LRV) were built by Boeing. The NASA Space Environmental Test (SET) Project is tasked to develop new environmental test facilities to support NASA's developing space exploration program. Their flight paths were tracked using radar and they were sighted and photographed using telescopes. Conspiracists often use this evidence to suggest that objects were "pasted" over the photographs, and hence obscure the reticle. The Lunar Modules weighed 17 tons and made no mark on the Moondust, yet footprints can be seen beside them. This eliminated the near-term need for a nuclear rocket. [150], In 2002, NASA granted US$15,000 to James Oberg for a commission to write a point-by-point rebuttal of the hoax claims. By May 1974 the staff had mothballed all of the Rocket Systems Area sites. Like us on Facebook to get the latest on the world's hidden wonders. Glenn began making plans to remove a number of its old test sites, including the Rocket Systems Area at Plum Brook.
