Fetzer/Burton Moon Landing Debate Finale

[Peter Dawson]

I have downloaded the last picture and, as a personal experiment, have magnified it until it loses focus. The left crosshair is definitely eclipsed by the Rover and not washed-out by the sun. Try it yourselves. Bullshit very often beats brains (as one of my former City colleagues used to say) but seeing is believing.

It looks like another example of "washout" to me. What makes you say it isn't washout? It has a bright white object behind it, like the other examples of washout.

Lastly, I want to address what I regard as the unwise comment made by Peter Dawson about "one of the bad men at the other forum". I would strongly recommend that he refrain from making these sorts of sly remarks in the future. He is not at all familiar with how this forum was founded and why we went to to trouble of doing so, and should not, therefore, make judgments he does not fully understand.

Also is you point by point rebuttal of Jim Fetzer's arguments in any danger of being posted in the near future? :date:

Thought not...

I find myself in a position where if I acknowledge something Burton and/or Greer are saying over at the EF, firstly I am accused of being in league with them, secondly, of being a disinfo agent, and thirdly, of deepening suspicions of the first two upon every additional occasion I make any mention of them. And this at a time when Prof. Fetzer is posting the same posts on both forums, and I'm learning a new thing each time from B & G's responses to Fetzer's posts. They're moon mission buffs - I'm not.

Same goes for a rebuttal of Fetzer's arguments - my responses would mirror and expand upon Burton's to a large degree, and I've got good reason to believe that after any effort I go to in composing a response, someone will hop in and dismiss everything I say simply because what I say can be associated with what Burton says. It's not a matter of me being lazy, and hardly a matter of me fearing a debate, it's just that I'm not that stupid.

If you've got any particular issues you'd like to see addressed, let me know what they are.
