Apollo 11: Le Grand Complot?

The pro conspiracy side are picking in the elements that are easily debunked or questionable at best.

Then the official line side seem to rely exclusively on the gut getting angry and saying it's an insult to all his colleagues past and present.

For my money out the astronaut one of the lunar Landers we have withvdoneine else, then have them get into a spacesuit and get out of the lander. With the survival pack, cameras etc just as the astronauts did, or didn't.

I can't see this series pleasing either side, the neutrals, or the indifferent. I'd rather just watch a series of old 1940s to 1979s space research films never seen before. This series is about to get turned off permanently in my house.

The show has a credibility problem. We are supposed to believe that a former NASA astronaut didn't know that the American and Russian space programs were headed by ex-Nazi rocket engineers.

Is Mike Bara really that stupid? Because if it's an act...he sucks at it. I got all the way to episode 6 and had to turn it off to not punch my tv... I feel so sorry for Leland that he has to put up with this.

I'm a photographer and pretty much every argument Mike makes about pictures and videos aren't just contrary to photographic science...but also to ACTUAL science itself.

Watch it if you want to. It's your time to waste...

Melvin, Jenkins and Bara don't REALLY think it's impossible to get through the Van Allen radiation belts. They don't REALLY think NASA had to stage the Moon landing because they couldn't re-engineer the Command Module after the fire. They don't REALLY think the Lunar Module was impossible to control. They just pretend to think these things hoping to make a TV show interesting. Actually, it's not interesting at all, it's painful. In Episode 3 Bara says "I'm calling B.S. on the lunar landing based on Armstrong's inability to control the LLTV." Oh what balderdash. Armstrong's daring bail-out was from the LLRV, not the LLTV. It was caused by a technical fault. Armstrong and all the other Apollo commanders completed many training flights in the LLTV with very significant success. Bara himself, in an essay called "Who Mourns For Apollo?" sang the praises of the LM's inertial navigation and control. He called a conspiracy theorist who questioned the LM's stability "a complete idiot." What does that make him now??

Seeing how much time and effort was wasted to placate an idiot that is just too stupid to understand how telescopes and cameras work. This show is more or less just an indictment of the education system.
