I think what we’re learning here is that NBA players are huge fans of conspiracy theories.
Nearly two years after Kyrie Irving said the Earth is flat on a podcast with then-Cleveland Cavaliers teammates Richard Jefferson and Channing Frye, fellow All-Star point guard Stephen Curry informed us that man never landed on the moon during an appearance with Golden State Warriors teammate Andre Iguodala on a new podcast featuring Atlanta Hawks players Vince Carter and Kent Bazemore.
Curry even tipped his cap to Irving, suggesting, “They’re gonna come get us,” an ode to the social media firestorm that followed Irving’s revelation and ultimately resulted in an apology from the star.
What did Stephen Curry say about the moon landing?
Following a conversation about marijuana-inspired memes and the question of how filmmakers could possibly know what dinosaurs sound like, Curry asked around the 47-minute mark of the podcast: “We ever been to the moon?” When everyone in the room responded in the negative, Curry agreed: “I don’t think so, either.” Cohost Annie Finberg asked if Curry was being serious, and Curry confirmed he was.

diffraction limitation. The maximum resolution of any telescope is directly dependent on the size of the aperture. To see the flag on the moon from the earth would probably require a parabolic mirror the size of a city block or more. So it’s not really fair to say that the only way to prove we landed on the moon is to build something that is next to impossible.
Couldn’t a camera for that time just transmit instead of store on reel-to-reel? Anyway, I was a kid then, and we had a camcorder that could record to tape. We have a lot of old home movies from the time. It was small, and didn’t require a lot of power.
But as hard to figure as the Russians are, so to is our very own USA. I have lost faith in who we are as a country, if we have to include our government as part of who we are. NSA, CIA, FBI, BATF, IRS and by extension NASA do these serve the people, or get a serving of the people? Call me disillusioned.

Apollo 11 did not.

- two 16mm Maurer motion picture film cameras
- color television camera in the orbiting Columbia
- black and white TV camera outside of the lunar module
- Kodak stereo close-up camera
- three Hasselblad 500EL cameras

That said, the photos you posted are probably of black and white video cameras. Too small. The color tube(s) made the color video cameras larger.
The link that I gave you at #78 explains why the Apollo color camera did not need three imaging tubes.
In the footsteps of Bill Nye.
yes, but the Nazi base is on the opposite side and we can’t see it.
often manifested at the ballot box
As I’ve noted, NASA says that video from the moon was fed to a Deep Space module, where the huge recording machine with 1” tape was rolling. On batteries.
The camera outside the Lunar Module was color.
Check the colored sparks or fireworks going off on Apollo 17’s comical “lift off” from the moon.
Color camera. Go-cart rover. Transmitting a live video feed.... on a camera that was normally made to plug into a power source, not battery operated.
Where were the refrigerator-sized batteries for all this equipment?
And again, as in the Apollo 17 footage, there was no way there was a remote controlled relay to earth in 1.5 seconds to get a zoom and tilt shot of the LM lift off... no way possible.
Oh and someone on this thread said that the lunar module was lost in this Apollo 17 footage... nope... someone zoomed out, tilted the camera up and stayed with the thing, whatever it was, as it then dropped back down to (earth).

Just no way this could have been successfully remote controlled from earth. The zoom and tilt are “live”

Is this image that you posted at #121 actually Neil Armstrong? Or is it Buzz Aldrin?

Pay close attention at 6:40 and let me know your explanation...
I think I saw this a while ago. There is a mirage effect on the ocean, similar to that on long stretches of highway, but here it is clear.
The buoy is visible at miles away, when curve math says we should not be able to see it.
Let’s call it 666curvemath for short.
You mean record to a video cassette tape or to a 1” reel to reel video tape?
Video cassettes that fit into a video camera were not invented as of Apollo 17.
Huge 3/4” video cassettes (they are like ten inches long, three inches in depth and six inches wide) were invented around 1970, but they were used strictly in huge recording machines in TV studios, not in the camera itself.
The point is, video cameras c.1970 were not battery powered.
It was film. You need a projector to watch it. I don’t know how it worked exactly but these are home movies made in the 1960’s using a small video recorder. If I’m lying then I must be part of a NASA conspiracy. They’re not paying me enough, though.
Von Braun is only interesting to me in that he believed so strongly in Psalm 19:1/the existence of the Firmament, he put it on his grave stone. The existence of the Firmament was probably nuke -tested in Operation Dominic Operation Fishbowl... a fact that Von Braun would have been vitally interested in.
Again, here is the ship-not-disappearing-over-the-horizon video you asked for. With some lucid explanation.

Pay attention at 2:00 and 6:40 especially, then I’d like to hear your explanation of why the buoy did not go over the horizon or drop out of sight with the curve.
So it was a home movie camera? I have a lot of them. They would take a small battery for super eight. Film cameras need next to no power at all. I even have a 16mm film camera that you just wind up, like an alarm clock, with a spring mechanism.
We are discussing video cameras, color video cameras, on the moon... video cameras require much more energy because their image is made electronically, not optically by just opening the shutter and letting in light.
And the battery technology was just not happening circa 1970... for video cameras. Or their recording machines for the video tape. (Again, VHS or Betamax tape cassettes had not yet been invented).

"Pay attention at 2:00 and 6:40 especially, then I’d like to hear your explanation of why the buoy did not go over the horizon or drop out of sight with the curve."
It is not far enough away, clearly. Sorry, but it will take more than some guy’s claims on youtube to convince me that what we’ve known for at least 2,500 years is wrong. Everything we can observe is easily explained by a round earth. No so with a flat earth. Occam’s razor. How do you explain why the sun is always about half a degree in angular diameter, if as the flat earthers say it is constantly moving towards and away from us again, from only a few thousand miles? How can it be night in Europe while daytime in the U.S.?
“Let’s call it 666curvemath for short.”
Let’s call what you’re doing what it is, ignorance. Your video conflates an optical vanishing point with the true horizon. The optical vanishing point is a function of the limitation of the human eye. The bottoms of objects don’t disappear to view, the whole object becomes too small to be distinguished.
A landmass like an island doesn’t become too small. And you see its heights at a distance but you don’t see its coastline.
