    Must-see web site for Apollo enthusiasts AND hoax believers.

    I stumbled upon this web site today:

    http://www.panoramas.dk/moon/mission-apollo.html

    (I searched for it in the forums and didn't find any mention of it, so forgive me if I'm rehashing an old topic)

    They have taken the hi-res Hasselblad stills from the Apollo Image Gallery and stitched them together into an interactive Quicktime VR display. You can zoom, tilt and pan to your heart's content. The quality is excellent, with hardly any visible stitching to speak of.

    I would highly recommend that hoax believers and fence-sitters check out this site. When you see the massive scope of the terrain presented in high-resolution 360-degree clarity, you may begin to doubt your beliefs about Apollo being filmed on a Hollywood soundstage.

    Simply Amazing.

    Very nice. There is something similar to this on the PBS site.

    Thanks. I wasn't aware of that site. Similar technology but smaller in scale.

    I agree with you on the quality of the pictures, but not on what you exopect the CTers response to them to be. I've participated in a thread on another forum started on this very subject, here's how the panorama shots have been described:

    "unbelievable fraud"
    "It doesn't get any more fake than this folks"
    "obviously moon sets"
    "Planets don't look like what these photos depict"

    I fear you'll elicit a similar response from anyone else who wishes to believe the moon landings were faked.

    They did do a great job.
    But; zoom and tilt? I was only able to pan.

    Anyway, the 3d features stand out much better this way. I never realized the ground was as potmarked with craters as I see here. Nor did I know that A-12 landed so close to such a large one.

    To zoom, use the Ctrl and Shift keys. I didn't see any way to tilt.

    Oh yeah, I guess that's why they say "ZOOM-SHIFT/CTRL"
    And tilt comes in when you are zoomed. (although it's more like a vertical pan)

    Generally speaking, you're right of course. I've dealt with enough HB's to know that. Lately however, I've been successful in actually getting a few HB's to...are you ready for this...admit they're wrong! And to do so publicly believe it or not. Had one on YT just yesterday.

    I'm also getting emails and PM's almost on a daily basis now, from fence-sitters (and even the occasional die-hard) who thank me for convincing them of the reality of Apollo. That's always a nice way to start my day.

    Yes, you click the "+/-" buttons to zoom in and out. When you're zoomed in, you can also tilt.

    Uhm...Yes; Larry pointed it out to me. My guess/hope is that your a post behind in your reading.
    Besides, it tried the +/- as you said here, but they didn't work. It looks like you do need to use shift/ctrl. (unless you got funny markings on you keyboard )

    No funny markings here.

    I didn't use shift/ctrl - just clicked the plus/minus buttons located right above the play/pause button in the lower left. That seemed to work well with my browser (Mozilla).

    Oh; the ones on the screen. I was thinking keyboard.
