Moon travel

Given that a helicopter relies on lift rather than thrust I'd say it would make one hell of a crater if it tried to land on the moon from the same height.

it still relies on something being thrust downwards at a vast rate of knots

Facinating subject though and given the urgency at the time, a few porkies, propaganda, from the USA government should'nt suprize anyone :)

given the american governments ability to cover things up, and keep them secret, this would have been proved to be true years ago.
cmon, they couldnt even plant some WMD's in iraq, and thats all thats needed to justify the iraq war.
then theres Watergate, and the abuse of the iraqi soldiers, and Bush winning the last election. they are useless at covering things up. unless of course they are letting those through to hide the fact that they are actually very good at hiding things, and theres alot that we dont know about. now theres a decent conspiracy theory. that one could run for years :)

The downdraft of a chopper is spread over a larger area than a rocket engine and because of the lift factor would only be a fraction of the downward thrust needed to support the chopper given the abscence of lift.
Either way, I watched it again last night and now I'm even more convinced it didn't happen.
Until some independant body lands on the moon at the same site and verifies the existance of the LEM, flag and footprints I don't think we'll ever really know the truth.

So, who was it that really shot Kennedy then :?:

For those that missed it, it's on again on Wednesday, Discovery channel number 551 at 10pm and again at 11pm Discovery+1 channel 552.

They would claim that the LEM was stolen by a weather balloon.....
With technology these days you'd think we could soon see the LEM from Hubble or something like that.

Fully agree with you 100%. They know the coordinates, Hubble is powerful enough to see to the edge of the galaxy but they can't spot a bloody great space ship a few 1000 (Maybe a bit more) miles away.
And before anyone says they can't see it because it's on the dartk side, if it was they couldn't have photographed the Earth from the moon surface... Unless they took the photo's before they didn't land on the moon :)
