look how bright it is right by the space man .. now look out in the distance, how come its not bright out there in the distance just past the space man ? ( there is a VERY powerfull light right above and just behind the space man , and it sure as hell is not the sun)

well .. true, but there could be many things that can be causing this.

The reflection (white) can be due to upheal of the "soil" from the module landing, possible artificial compacting due to that also. His foot prints provide more evidence that the compacting of the soil in a certain angle is creating the uniform reflection.

looking at the legs, the astronauts left leg is lighted in the inner side due to the reflection from his right leg. some would think that there was light coming in from the astronauts right side. keep in mind that the suit is colored white, it gives very good exposure even when not in favorable lighting.

also when looking at the reflection pic on the helmet, it gives a very wideangle view showing that the surrounding area shows even exposure.

unfortunately, i dont see how this can be confirmed one way or another without going to the moon and testing it.

i do have to admit, it does look weird to have a bright area and then a surrounding matte type area.

k maybe this might help .. if your standing in a BIG wide open parking lot..with no cars in it , and your pic is taken during the day(when the sun is out.).....is there a bright light around just you ? ...or is the light consistand all the way acoss the parking lot ? .......now.....if it was dusk and some one set up a light just above you and behind , youll get the same look as in the spaceman pic /cough , i mean the earthman pic .

I don't know about the photos etc. but for me it's simply a matter of expedience: America simply had to beat the Russians to the moon - it would have been cheaper, safer and guaranteed success if they faked the first one.
What I find remarkable is that so many people really want to believe it really happenned.
What I'd REALLY like to see is telescope photos of the landing sites from an independent source that show the LEM base section, flag etc. etc. : That would at least prove they really went there from some source other than NASA.
Any takers?
