Photographs are not scientific evidence. Science requires an experiment that can be duplicated with the same results by all competent researchers. Garbage in/garbage out. NASA controls the data. Therefore, it cannot be independently verified. By the way, what is the temperature on the Moon, at what temperature do mechanical cameras cease up and fail to function, and how cold can photographic film get, and still render an actuate representation of color? Even in black and white, it's still a curious photo.

No, I mean what is the temperature of caesium. Vintage cameras don't work on the Moon.
ReplyDeleteThe Hasselblad 70mm EDC
ReplyDeleteBy far the most famous of all Apollo cameras, and perhaps the most important as well, was the Hasselblad EDC, which was adapted from a camera of the same company, designated the Hasselblad 500 EL. Nicknamed "Hassies", these 70mm cameras were used by the astronauts on the lunar surface for still photography, and, as such, took almost all of the photographic images brought back from the lunar surface.
Because these camera systems had no viewfinder, and were worn on the chest during lunar EVAs, a lot of practice was needed to master their use. To that end, the astronauts were issued cameras to take home and practice with.

The camera's might have been capable of working if they had been contained in a heated enclosuer, but the picture of the astronaut wearing the camera attached to his chest, is unprotected from the cold temperatures of the Moon. Unless, of course, the Moon isn't as cold as NASA has claimed.
