"it is the mark of an educated person to search for the same kind of clarity in each topic to the extent that the nature of the matter accepts it" -Aristotle (probably)
I'm sort of a moon landing skeptic but I remain open minded. I watched this video and then also watched another video that addressed the points Gary Fong made.
I think Dave McKeegan does a solid job of addressing Gary's points and I tend to believe that the camera's could have worked on the moon and the film would have survived. Dave could have been simply condescending, but instead he provided detail and reason and for that reason I side with Dave's opinion.

More loosely translated: "It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it."
Who was it that said you can tell how many bolts are mounting a lens by the number of points in a source of light (ie stars)? Is that true?
I can't see how that could the be true, but maybe.

Has to do with the supports for the diffraction mirrors
That explanation seems to have nothing to do with the number of bolts used to mount a lens.
My reply was a clarification buddy
fair enough
Yup
Pretty interesting vid. Never seen this info before.
