In 1969 there were no high-speed video cameras yet. Some people did have magnetic disk recorders that could capture normal speed video and play it back slow. They used it for sports replays; it could record up to 30 seconds. Play back at 10 fps and you got a whopping 90 seconds of slowmo. I say 10 FPS because that was the video framerate for Apollo 11
They had a Non-Interlaced Slow Scan TV camera specially made for them by Westing House. All the later missions were using regular NTSC video cameras running at 29,97 FPS. That would be 3x harder to fake
Your point?
I'm getting there if you'd let me.
Or this guy can spam
lmao
Keep in mind when people today watch documentaries about the Apollo missions, they’re looking at the highlights. They’re looking at short clips cut together. Short clips are much easier to fake. But in July 1969, 600 million people were all staring at a continuous lunar telecast that went on for a long time.
16 min into the EVA they turn on the video camera. 4min later you get your “one small step for man”, then aldrin climbs out, they move the camera onto a tripod, and proceed to do all their moon walking, flag planting, photo snapping, and rock picking. Then Armstrong climbs back up into the lander and its over. By this time the camera has been running for over 143 minutes.
So if we’re faking this with electronic slowmo at 1/3rd speed, we only need to record 47 minutes of continuous live action video on disk.
That’s a lot more than that Ampex Magnetic disk recorder could hold. Again, commercially available recorders could only hold 30 seconds of video
the top isn't even a real image
But for the sake of argument, NASA is special, maybe they have a really large one (in 1969). How much bigger? 96x bigger? They are NASA… maybe they have some super advanced high-speed electronics that no one knows about? But wait a minute, conspiracy theorists said the navigation computers were too slow so they couldn’t possibly have it both ways. Point being: Electronics are not good enough apparently to have a navigation computer that good, so they can’t have electronics good enough for an advanced high-speed camera capable of holding all that footage.
can i get unmuted now?
Ok.. so they can't do it with slomo high speed cameras cause it doesn't exist in that scale.
@Hugoboiii no
Lets say they try to do it with film.
why
flattie
In 1969 we already knew how to overcrank on film. For Apollo 11 you’d only need to shoot at 30 FPS and play it back at 10 FPS.
Tbh, that stuff is a bit over my head
Because your conversation is boring
So I wouldn't understand, but I see your point
Exactly, because conspiracy theorists know nothing about photography, or film, or cameras.
Furthermore...
I know very little about moon landing conspiracy stuff
Let's get back to how arduous it'd be to attempt to re-create what was seen on tv in 1969 to tech that existed at the time.
I doubt they are gonna listen
