Man oh man there are some kooky people out there. Driving a big truck I sometimes listen to the 'Coast to Coast' radio program in the wee hours of early morning while driving. George had this moon landing conspiracy theorist on and it was funny as hell. The kook was going on and on about how that shadows in some of the photographs taken by the astronauts from the Apollo 11 mission proved they were hoaxes. Well a guy called in that had been a private citizen contracted by NASA to analyze the Apollo 11 mission still photos shortly after that first moon landing mission and just tore this kook's claims concerning the photographs up!
Even the kook knew he was getting killed in the discussion so he started trying to change the subject to the foot prints and other stuff (how could the impressions of the astronauts boots be so defined in the dust when there is no moisture on the moon?). The photo analyist just stuck on his point, explaining his area of expertise had nothing to do with the question of foot prints but had everything to do with the still photos that the consiracy kook claimed were fake and explaining how those shadows were what would be expected at that time and location on the moon. He had the kook frantic and it really was very entertaining. Good way to stay awake behind the wheel.
