The use of computing technology to get there is frequently alluded to,
but exactly kind of hardware and software was required ?
A troubling question - just think about the exponential progress in
computer software and in particular computer hardware since Neil Armstrong
and Buzz Aldrin allegedly landeded in the moon, in 1969. Something
anyone can understand.
The answer is not easy to find. Actually NASA apparently doesn't care
about the key piece of evidence - the software source code. For anyone
that believes the "greatest achievement of Mankind" to be a fake, this
is not surprising.
Let's review the answer of NASA. If you have a minimal knowledge
of hardware and software and afterwards you still believe in the moon landing
hoax, then you are a victim of the BIG
LIE technique. Otherwise the REAL question now is : how was it possible
that you believed such a lie so long ?
1. Hardware
AGC
at the NASA center : mainframes and minicomputers performed mission-planning
calculations
70-lb box of integrated circuitry and an attached control panel that performed
real time guidance and control and which served as a life line to the astronauts
descending to the lunar surface (AGC)
The AGC Hardware
project started 1961
4000 discrete integrated circuits from Fairchild Semiconductor
Memory: ROM (rope core) 36K words; RAM (core) 2K words
Instruction Set: Approximately 20 instructions; 100 noun-verb pairs, data
up to triple precision
Disk: None
I/O: DSKY -(Display Keyboard) : two per spacecraft. Astronauts used a noun
+ verb syntax. Entry example : DISPLAY + VELOCITY
Size: AGC - 24" x 12.5" x 6" (HWD); DSKY - 8" x 8" x 7" (HWD)
Power consumption: Operating: 70W @ 28VDC; Standby 15.0 watts
Remote input - received commands from earth-based computers via a telemetry
channel, allowing in-flight adjustments to be made
2. Software
Source code - "by courtesy of Gary Neff"
programming language : assembler
documentation : none (the only "documentation" was the listing itself)
project not developed according to software life cycle principles (see
next point)
one year before the moon landing there were 400 people working on it -
no wonder NASA does not tell you if they were, at that point, specifying,
implementing or testing ...
no code available - NASA publishes a photo with a sample listing of source
code due to courtesy of a certain Gary Neff. There is no reference to any
Gary Neff in the AGC program.
This piece of evidence was presented by Mat Marriott to
the CNN board, following the FOX News show on the moon landing hoax, January
2001. The reason FOX News avoided this question on its "moon landing hoax"
is that it is as controlled as all the other mass media. It simply was
assigned a different role. They came up with the show because too many
people was starting to pose questions.
As with any other theory, ONE proof is enough to prove it to be impossible.
Anyway, for other evidence :
photographic evidence - moon fakers (http://www.angelfire.com/ut/aylett/eth69.html,
was deleted, put a mirror soon)
