  • Various Moon landing conspiracy theories claim that some or all elements of the Apollo Project and the associated Moon landings were falsifications staged by NASA and members of other involved organizations.

      I wonder if conspiracy theorists think these things up in order to gain something
  • An article in the German magazine Der Spiegel places the Moon hoax in the context of other well-known 20th century conspiracy theories which it describes as "the rarified atmosphere of those myths in which Elvis is alive, John F. Kennedy fell victim to a conspiracy involving the Mafia and secret service agents, the Moon landing was staged in the Nevada desert, and Princess Diana was murdered by British intelligence."[41]

      I wonder if all of these conspiracy theories are connected in some sort of way.
  • A 2000 poll conducted by the Russian Public Opinion Fund found that 28% do not believe that American astronauts have been on the Moon, and this percentage is roughly equal in all social-demographic groups.[

  • A number of different hoax claims have been advanced that involve conspiracy theories outlining concerted action by NASA employees, and sometimes others, to perpetuate false information about landings that never occurred, or to cover up accurate information about the landings that occurred in a different manner than have been publicized. Believers have focused on perceived gaps or inconsistencies in the historical record of the missions. The Flat Earth Society was one of the first organizations to accuse NASA of faking the landings, arguing that they were staged by Hollywood and based on a script by Arthur C. Clarke.[13]

      This is important because it shows why conspiracy theorists believe that the moon landing was a hoax and how they try to find proof to back up their theory.
  • Cold War prestige, monetary gain, and providing a distraction are some of the more notable motives which are give

      This is important because it shows the reasons why conspiracy theorist think why the government would want to create a hoax of the landing on th moon
  • A 1999 poll by The Gallup Organization found that 89% of the U.S. public believed the landings were genuine, while 6% did not, and 5% were undecided.[2][3]

  • Dr. David Williams (NASA archivist at Goddard Space Flight Center) and Apollo 11 flight director Eugene F. Kranz both acknowledged that the Apollo 11 telemetry data tapes are missing.

  • On November 1, 2006 Cosmos Magazine reported that some one-hundred data tapes recorded in Australia during the Apollo 11 mission had been discovered in a small marine science laboratory in the main physics building at the Curtin University of Technology in Perth, Australia. One of the old tapes has been sent to NASA for analysis. The slow-scan television images were not on the tape.[67] Britain's Sunday Express reported in late June 2009 that the missing tapes were found in storage facility in the basement of a building on a university campus in Perth, Australia.

  • There are no stars in any of the photos. The Apollo 11 astronauts also claimed in a press conference after the event to have not remembered seeing any of the stars.

      Let me explain this. First because of the daytime at the moon, stars were not visible. Second, the camera may have just concentrated on the bigger blackness rather then the light. Third, human eyes werent used to the light in the moon.
  • 5. The color and angle of shadows and light are inconsistent.

      Let me explain this. First the angle of the Sun's light affects the angle of the shadows. Second, the distance between objects affect the angle. Third light reflects off the moon resulting in some objects appearing to be different angles.

  • The flag placed on the surface by the astronauts flapped despite there being no wind on the Moon.[citation needed] Sibrel said "The wind was probably caused by intense air-conditioning used to cool the astronauts in their lightened, uncirculated space suits. The cooling systems in the backpacks would have been removed to lighten the load not designed for Earth’s six times heavier gravity, otherwise they might have fallen over".

      Let me explain this. First the flag appears to be moving because the astronaut is shaking it. Second, the crumpled state of the flag makes it look like its waving. Third it waves because it is like a pendulum

  • Animation is the rapid display of a sequence of images of 2-D or 3-D artwork or model positions in order to create an illusion of movement.

      I feel this is important since it is the basic definition of Animation.
  • The most common method of presenting animation is as a motion picture or video program, although several other forms of presenting animation also exist.

      Why is this the most common method?

  • Early examples of attempts to capture the phenomenon of motion drawing can be found in paleolithic cave paintings, where animals are depicted with multiple legs in superimposed positions, clearly attempting to convey the perception of motion.
  • The phenakistoscope, praxinoscope, as well as the common flip book were early popular animation devices invented during the 1800s, while a Chinese zoetrope-type device was invented already in 180 AD.[3][4][5][6] These devices produced movement from sequential drawings using technological means, but animation did not really develop much further until the advent of cinematography.

      Gives good examples of early types of animation. Shows how it began.
  • An Egyptian burial chamber mural, approximately 4000 years old, showing wrestlers in action. Even though this may appear similar to a series of animation drawings, there was no way of viewing the images in motion. It does, however, indicate the artist's intention of depicting motion.

      Shows an early form of animation. I makes you realized how old the concept of animation is.
  • This has been claimed to be an example of early animation.[1] However, since no equipment existed to show the images in motion, such a series of images cannot be called animation in a true sense of the word

      The way this is information is said confuses me. I think its should be explained more clearly. I would write Although this was thought of as animation since the images did not move some people don't consider it animation.
  • The bouncing ball animation (below) consists of these 6 frames.

      Shows how the animation was created which is helpful in understanding the process of animation.
  • Georges Méliès was a creator of special-effect films; he was generally one of the first people to use animation with his technique. He discovered a technique by accident which was to stop the camera rolling to change something in the scene, and then continue rolling the film.

      Shows how one technique was found even though it was found by accident.
  • The earliest surviving stop-motion advertising film was an English short by Arthur Melbourne-Cooper called Matches: An Appeal (1899).

      I wonder how it managed to last so long with out being completly damaged.
  • A 5,200 year old earthen bowl found in Iran in Shahr-i Sokhta has five images of a goat painted along the sides.
