Hi all - When dealing with the man did not walk on the Moon nuts (and for these folks man did not walk on the Moon because either 1) they did not see the reamins of another civilization there, or 2) NASA was hiding the real astronauts, who did see the remains, by staging fake landings Ahem,a

Sterling, Your explanation about the Apollo 14 photograph is correct. During the Apollo 14 mission I was the Mission Science Advisor for the A-14 mission in the Lunar Receiving Laboratory. I participated in the Apollo 14 crew debriefings with Alan Sheppard, Ed Mitchell and Stuart Rousa al

Hi, If you take a look at the thumbnails page for magazine 67: http://www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/a14/Ap14_Mag67.jpg you will see everything is blue-lit. These guys are not professional photographers and the Moon is a hard place to shoot pictures of. In photo 9384, the Sun is just outside the frame.

Kevin, I assume you are referring to the blue streaks in the sky. I suspect those are reflections from the studio lights against the false back-drop... Other than that guess, I'm stumped as well. Ed - Original Message - From: kevin decker To: Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com

I believe that this is a seismometer package--pretty sure by the grid in the background. The silver package on the left was a plutonium based(?) thermocouple powersupply(complete with an insulating blanket). I believe I read that the experiment is still transmitting. The streak ...well any Star T

Hi, Kevin, List, Assuming you're talking about the blue streaks in the "sky" that are like UFO contrails, the note in the Image Library says of AS14-67-9384 (OF300): "117:25:32 View to the northeast of the Central Station and, at the left, the Passive Seismometer experiment. The blue strea
