… On November 14, 1969, the Apollo-Saturn-12 spacecraft is launched in the USA. Astronauts C. Conrad, A. Bean and R. Gordon will land on the Moon in the Ocean of Storms and stay on the Earth's satellite for 31 hours and 31 minutes …
We have already read with you that the video of the American landing on the moon was filmed in Hollywood, and here is another topic that is often raised.
In all American spaceships - Mercury, Gemini and Apollo - according to legend, astronauts breathed pure oxygen at a pressure of about 0.3 atmospheres, well, so that their "space" cans are easier to make (at normal pressure in the cabin, it will be bursting with a force of 1 kg per square centimeter of surface, which gives a multi-ton breaking force in the entire capsule, and at a pressure of 0.3 atmospheres, the force drops more than 3 times), and there seems to be some kind of profit in the air regeneration system. Well, everyone knows that, right?
Let's ignore the problems of combustion and spontaneous combustion of materials in pure oxygen.
But that's not the strangest thing yet. Climbers climb in stages, stopping at base camps to adapt to low pressure. The journey to the Roof of the World and (if you're lucky) back takes about two months. Although the spurt to the peak itself takes only a couple of days. Most of the time - about forty days - tourists spend in the base camp. When the cockpit is depressurized at an altitude of 7000 meters, the pilot loses consciousness after two minutes. And here you have to climb 8848 meters!
Now attention, watch your hands - here are the astronauts having a hearty breakfast with meat two hours before the start:

Then they come to the rocket and cheerfully wave their hands to those who see them off - with open helmets. Moreover, even sitting in the Gemini's cabin, they do not close their helmets, they breathe ordinary atmospheric air:
This photo of S65-23489 from 23 March 1965 in the archives of NASA and signed - Astronaut Virgil Grissom in Gemini-3 spacecraft prior to launch. That is, before launch.
165 seconds after launch, Gemini is already at an altitude of 65 km, where the pressure is close to vacuum - that is, at this moment astronomers should already be breathing oxygen at a pressure of 0.3 atmospheric. But less than two hours ago, they breathed ordinary air at normal pressure. Do you see where I am leading?
A sharp drop in pressure is fraught with "soda in the blood" (decompression sickness, air embolism). Less than two hours to reduce the pressure from 1 atm to 0.3 atm with the transition to pure oxygen is too little. For 40 days, Everest climbers adapt to low pressure and oxygen for a reason - and in fact astronomers still have to withstand huge takeoff overloads, from which they lose consciousness even under normal pressure.
If Panama about oxygen and 0.3 atm were true - astronomers in advance, at least two days before the start, or even earlier, would be closed in a pressure chamber, where the pressure was gradually lowered and the oxygen content was raised. Then they would be brought to the ship in a pressure chamber and, having hermetically docked the pressure chamber to the ship, were transferred to the ship, where they would start with the already familiar pressure of 0.3 in oxygen.
But we see something completely different.
As a rule, many have heard about the falsification of "flights to the moon" by the Americans, but most of them do not understand that all NASA manned astronautics are fake, at least before the shuttle flights. The takeoff pressure problem is just one piece of evidence found.
But if astronomers did not fly into space, where did they go from the rocket? After all, they sat in a rocket in front of the audience, and this rocket was launched in front of the same spectators? Where were the American astronomers hiding?
Don't worry, everything was planned with German thoroughness. Yes, yes - the permanent and only leader of the launch site, who "sent into space" all the American astronauts on Mercury, Gemini and Apollo, was the German Guenter Wendt. Here he is - with the first American astronomer in his arms.
Because of his strong German accent, the Americans simply called him "our Fuehrer." Despite his German origins and moving from Nazi Germany after its collapse, Wendt did not belong to von Braun's team. He worked for McDonnell Aircraft and later North American Aviation.
For the crew, he was always the last person they saw before the flight - he supervised the complex of final procedures immediately before launch for all flights on the Mercury and Gemini programs (1961-1966) and in the manned phase of the Apollo program (1968 –1975), he personally closed the hatch. No one had the right to touch anything without his permission.
There is a story when one stubborn NASA engineer decided to take some initiative. Wendt called security to be taken away. A security man said to the engineer: "Do you want me to handcuff you - or will you go yourself?" The engineer's jaw dropped, but he left the site. Interesting relationship, isn't it?
In fact, this episode explains a lot. The NASA engineer was simply not in the know, he thought that astronomers would actually fly into space - and did what was necessary for the flight. But the Fuhrer was aware of the real situation and saw that what the engineer was doing would reveal an imitation. It is impossible to explain the truth to the uninitiated, it will cause information leakage, and the Fuhrer simply removed the engineer from the site with his power.
Working for the McDonnell Aircraft Corporation on the Mercury and Gemini programs, Gunther successfully simulated manned launches, closing the ship's hatches under the cameras, and then, when everyone left, returned and released the astronauts. But "Apollo" was created by North American Rockwell and, therefore, its worker should have closed the hatch of the first supposedly orbiting "Apollo" ("Apollo 7"). What about our character? And the fact that the management of NASA decided to go for an unusual operation of transferring an employee from one company to another. Wendt remained in charge of the launch pad and other Apollo lunar launches, as well as the Skylab and Soyuz-Apollo programs. He worked at the Kennedy Space Center until the first shuttle flights.
In practical terms, this meant that NASA did not want anyone else to close the hatch.
But where did Wendt hide the "astronauts" after their early release? Indeed, during the launch of the rocket, the entire launch tower will be enveloped in flame and smoke. Did you take the elevator down, put you on the bus and take it away in an unknown direction? But the launch tower is clearly visible from the launch observation tower, and the movement of the incomprehensible bus will be noticed by dozens of NASA staff members sitting in a glazed observation room in a circle. There, of course, is far away - but after all, employees can grab binoculars to look at the launch of the rocket. No, it doesn't fit.
So - at the Apollo launch site there was a well-protected shelter right under the launch pad! In his book The Unbroken Chain, Gunther himself describes this hideout under the launch pad:
“Since the explosion of Saturn 5 can be compared to the explosion of a small atomic bomb, evacuation of personnel and their protection was of paramount concern from the outset. Engineers have developed a new rapid evacuation system based on our old system. The new system relied on a small gondola that could accommodate nine people, bringing them to the ground on a reinforced escarpment 2,300 feet (700m) from the rocket. Nine people are the crew and my team of 6 people.
A concrete blast-proof room with a spring floor was built under the launch pad. It could hold 20 people for 3 days and survive the explosion of Saturn-5. In case of danger, we could quickly descend to the base of the tower, then slide down a 40-foot chute through the base of the mobile tower and right across the concrete deck itself. The gutter ended in a "rubber room" - a small room lined with rubber bumpers to cushion the impact."
In fact, the explosion of a rocket on the launch pad, if it happens, it always happens unexpectedly. Therefore, talk about the urgent evacuation of astronauts already sitting in the ship, because the rocket is about to explode, is a bluff. No one can foresee this explosion. However, this is a successful legal justification for the construction of a room in which the astronauts who escaped from the doomed rocket after falsification will hide. All uninitiated people will think that this is an emergency shelter.
It is believed that Wendt spoke about the very room where he had planned to escort the "astronauts" after opening the hatch. I escorted calmly, without panic, slowly and without expecting any explosion, but in full accordance with the falsification schedule. He and the "astronauts" had plenty of time for this, because according to the schedule of any manned space flight, from the moment when the crew sits down in the spacecraft to the "Start" command, it takes about an hour.
It was not a rescue room, but a "jail" room. A place where safe and sound "astronauts", calmly and in advance having left the capsule of the next fake ship, waited for the launch of the rocket and waited for them to be secretly transported to their well-deserved rest. Rest during the intermission before staging a happy return from "orbit" in the designated area of the World Ocean.
The far-fetched purpose of the bunker for the rescue of astronauts is also confirmed by the fact that on Gemini astronauts could eject in case of danger, and Apollo was provided with a SAS (emergency rescue system), which is capable at any time to tear off the ship with the crew from the emergency rocket, take it aside and provide soft landing.
But among ordinary Americans, very few people thought about it - and who thought about it, preferred to keep quiet, because there is still no evidence.
1965 Gemini - 5, G. Cooper, C. Konrad, 8 days from the launch of the rocket to the return of the "astronauts"
According to NASA "Gemini - 5" was in orbit for 8 days. And it is natural to expect that disturbances in the psychomotor of their movements should manifest themselves more strikingly than it was for the cosmonauts of Soyuz-7 (5 days in orbit) and Soyuz-19 (6 days in orbit). As they say, get the stretcher ready! But the supermen from Gemini 5 are not like that! From them 8 - daily weightlessness "glass, like water off a duck's back." Or did they not "smell" it at all? No psychomotor disorders, and even more so, no stretchers!
Let's see the episode of splashdown "Gemini - 5". The abbreviated translation of the English signature under the photograph reads: “August 29, 1965. L. G. Cooper and C. Conrad leave their spacecraft after splashdown. They get onto a light raft with the help of naval divers."
After 20 - 30 minutes, a rescue helicopter delivers the "astronauts" to the deck of an aircraft carrier. And now the "astronauts" are walking along the deck. Without anyone's support and with the same confident step as those around. Like ordinary people, only in spacesuits. And they are ordinary! Because these "astronauts" never left Earth anywhere. Their confident gait and natural gestures spoke eloquently about this. In other words, the "astronauts" psychomotor skills were not affected by the "flight".
1965 Gemini 7, F. Borman, D. Lovell, 14 days from the launch of the rocket to the return of the "astronauts"
According to NASA, Gemini-7 has been in orbit for 14 days, and now, its crew has just left the rescue helicopter that landed on the deck of the aircraft carrier Wasp. How does the crew feel after two weeks of weightlessness? As with the psychomotrika? Yes, the best!
Lovell and Bormann spent 14 days allegedly in orbit. 5 years have passed and two Soviet cosmonauts made a flight for 18 days of weightlessness. Both returned in a pre-infarction state. Although they flew in immeasurably better conditions than those in the Gemini. Re-read the lines about the return of "Union - 9" and look at the cheerful faces of these two regular "astronauts" who are chatting so naturally at the helicopter.
You read this, and you will think! We gathered courage, strained our decrepit bodies for 14 days and cheerfully walked along the deck. And our Gorbatko, after a 5-day flight, could not go on his own. Nikolaev, after an 18-day flight, almost died in a helicopter, while Sevastyanov, in anticipation of trouble, crawled to his friend on all fours. No, strain your will, get up, and, counting "one - two", walk a ceremonial march. And then you can go to bed.
On December 21, 1968, Apollo 8 allegedly headed for the Moon, orbited it 10 times, and returned to Earth on December 27. And now the male trio is picturesquely posing at the rescue helicopter, which has just landed on the deck of the aircraft carrier Yorktown. For 6 days these cheerful people were allegedly in complete weightlessness. William Anders (right) according to NASA is a newcomer to space. But in appearance, whether a beginner or not a beginner, there is no difference. All three are good! Free poses, free gestures, strong standing. No doctors, no stretchers, no just people helping to stand! What helped both the "space veterans" and the "newbie" to look so equally good and feel so great?

The left photo shows the Apollo 11 crew supposedly returning from the Moon. He leaves the rescue helicopter aboard the aircraft carrier Hornet. Several tens of minutes have passed since the splashdown. “Astronauts” leave the helicopter wearing gas masks and insulating overalls. NASA fears infecting earthlings with mythical and deadly lunar bacteria. The pretext is far-fetched, the insulator is not invented because of the lunar microbes. But we are more interested in the "lunonauts". One of the three must be Michael Collins. According to NASA, he did not land on the moon, which means that he spent all 8 days of the flight in continuous weightlessness, while two of his comrades allegedly landed on the moon and rested for 1 day from weightlessness. However, it is impossible to understand where Collins is and where not Collins is without NASA's help. All the "lunonaut" walk quite confidently and naturally, without anyone's help,welcoming the venerable audience on the go. No psychomotor disturbances. There are no stretchers or chairs to carry their supposedly weakened bodies.
On the right photo, the Apollo 12 crew, allegedly returning from the Moon, leaves the rescue helicopter, which arrived on board the same aircraft carrier Hornet. One of the three must be Richard Gordon. He, according to NASA, circled around the Moon and spent all 10 days of the flight in zero gravity, the other two allegedly had a 32 hour break from weightlessness on the Moon. But everyone looks cheerful. No psychomotor disturbances. The author's conclusion is that neither (A - 11) nor others (A - 12) are familiar with weightlessness.
1970 Apollo 13. D. Lovell, D. Swidget, F. Hayes, 6 days from the launch of the rocket to the return of the "astronauts"
And these cheerleaders allegedly flew around the moon …
April 17, 1970 Aircraft carrier Iwo Jima. Return of the Apollo 13 crew. All, according to NASA, stayed in zero gravity for 6 days. The photo shows the crew of Apollo 13 allegedly circled around the moon. He was taken aboard the aircraft carrier Iwo Jima. All allegedly spent 6 days in zero gravity. No psychomotor disturbances. There is no difference in this respect from the people around them, who have never been in space. The conclusion is the same - we are not familiar with weightlessness.
1971 Apollo 14, A. Shepard, E. Mitchell, S. Rusa, 10 days from the launch of the rocket to the return of the "astronauts"
The third batch of "Luna" cheerleaders.
February 9, 1971. Aircraft carrier New Orleans. The Apollo 14 crew after supposedly returning from the moon. According to NASA, S. Rusa spent the longest time in zero gravity - 10 days without a break. Nothing fundamentally new compared to A - 11 and A - 12.
1971 Apollo 15, D. Scott, D. Irwin, A. Worden, 12 days from the launch of the rocket to the return of the "astronauts".
Apollo 15 was, according to NASA, the fourth spacecraft to land on the moon. The return looked ordinary enough. The rescue helicopter flew to the splashed capsule and brought the crew aboard the aircraft carrier Okinawa. The fourth batch of "cheerleaders from the Moon" passed along the carpet as cheerfully and with dignity (Fig. 15a), as the crews of all the previous Apolloes did (and the crews of the Gemini - 5 and 7). The masquerade with protection against lunar bacteria and germs was no longer used. It is worth paying attention to the man in the brown suit. This is Robert Gilruth - director of the NASA Manned Flight Center (Houston), the real inspirer and organizer of all NASA "manned flights" from the very beginning of the space era.
In We Have Never Been on the Moon (Cornville, Az.: Desert Publications, 1981) B. Kaysing on page 75 says: “During one of my talk shows, the pilot of a scheduled plane called and said that he had seen how the Apollo capsule was dropped from a large plane around the time the astronauts (A-15) were supposed to "return" from the moon. Seven passengers - Japanese also observed this case …”.
Note. The dropping of capsules (descent vehicles) of spaceships was in those years a rather routine technical operation. It was used in the development of the parachute system for descent of the capsule, as well as in the development of emergency landing / splashdown situations. Soviet specialists have done this many times. So are the Americans.
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS?
