"WE'VE LANDED ON THE MOON!"
Posted on 09/20/2014 7:13:34 AM PDT by BenLurkin
The first manned missions to Earth's satellite began in 1969 with Apollo 11. Just a few years later, conspiracies sprouted up claiming that potentially each of the six lunar landing crews and every one of the 12 Apollo astronauts who walked on the moon had in fact participated in an elaborate ruse. To the conspiracists, it may never have happened -- or didn't happen like NASA said it did -- and oh by the way, we duped the Russians into losing the space race.
Voxel global illumination, however, proves them wrong, says Nvidia. The technique, which the new GTX 970 and 980 can tap into, lets developers use dynamic lighting that will bounce, diffuse and reflect in real-time with unprecedented fidelity when new objects are added to a scene. Nvidia's GPUs are enhanced chips that allow graphics cards to more effectively and efficiently take data from a central processing unit, or CPU, and turn it into moving images on a display. In other words, voxel global illumination is the perfect rendering tool to tackle moon landing hoaxes that often use as evidence for their claims lighting discrepancies with NASA photography.

I thought it was a country owned by the Indians.
It was my generation. I was 31 in 1969.
cuban leaf: My take too. It requires a special kind of stupid.
Well then, I'm sure fear of your mutual derision will prevent any further exploration of the subject.
Bwahahaha!

Bwahahaha!
And the Holocaust deniers. I forgot to mention them.
Anyone want to bet how likely the left wing history book writers will add these pictures?
I thought the moon mapping program which shows photo evidence of the Apollo landing sites pretty much had shut these whackos up.

For some reason I was thinking these moon images were taken by the Hubble Telescope or something, but it was actually the Lunar Reconnaissance Rover. Amazing detail!

You can see the lunar rover tracks in this image.

They need a raison d’etre
The conspiracy clowns will be able to rebut any evidence you present. You will never sway them with reason, testimony, or logic. So I say, let them spin their theories. They’re a great study in the power of denial.
Very good. Thanks for the ping.
“I think the moon landing deniers just have a problem with anything as cool as men on the moon because it happened when they were not part of the world that witnessed it.
I remember watching the Apollo 11 lunar landing live on black & white tv and the first steps by Neil and Buzz. I was 8 years old and all about space stuff. Even back then there were deniers and hoax pushers. This has been going on from the very beginning.
The moon is too close for the Hubble telescope to image as well as being to bright. This naturally is more proof of the “cover up”.
Hubble is designed for imaging things light years away. Even pluto is too close for Hubble to clearly image.
Then we owe you a debt of gratitude. I was 15, living in Japan; my father was an electronics technician working at Yokosuka Naval Base, but we lived out "on the economy," meaning in a Japanese rental home. Armstrong took his first step around lunchtime JST.
Wow. Buzz certainly landed that one. No doubt about it.
That guys dentist believes that is was not a hoax.
