My dear friends,

I have taken the following details from a website. If you can, please help me by giving the details. Is it true or not OR Possible? Help me to solve this mathematics.

Thanks in advance.

From Jack White's How many photos were taken on the surface of the Moon?

quote:
Amazingly, NASA AVOIDS THIS SUBJECT almost entirely. Two days of searching documents and text were fruitless. But Lunar Surface Journal, one of the sites, lists every photo with its file number. So I undertook to make an actual count of every photo taken by astronauts DURING EXTRA-VEHICULAR ACTIVITY (EVA), the time spent on the surface out of the LEM...

[skipping ahead to the point]

Total minutes on the Moon amounted to 4834 minutes.
Total number of photographs taken was 5771 photos.

Or, to put it more simply:
Apollo 11........one photo every 15 seconds
Apollo 12........one photo every 27 seconds
Apollo 14........one photo every 62 seconds
Apollo 15........one photo every 44 seconds
Apollo 16........one photo every 29 seconds
Apollo 17........one photo every 26 seconds

Given all the facts, was it possible to take that many photos in so short a time?

I think it was entirely possible to take that many photos in that given amount of time. There were two astronauts during the EVAs and one usually was taking a lot of photos, documenting samples collections, taking panorama shots, etc. And when they were taking photos, there were many photos taken each minute...not just photos evenly spaced out over the EVA. So you'd get spurts where they snapped a lot of pics...then periods where they snapped only a few here and there.

Let's look at it another way. I attended the Thunder Over Michigan airshow this August in Detroit. I was there for two days, roughly 10 hours each day...or 20 hours total. I took 1585 photos during that time, even though I recall many periods of time where I wasn't taking many photos due to lulls in the action, bathroom breaks, getting some food, or wandering around looking at aircraft, etc. Yet I still managed to take so many photos. And there was only one of me.

Abdul,

head on over to www.badastronomy.com and go to the discussion board. Jack White's "studies" have been thoroughly debunked there and also over at www.apollohoax.net

As a side note the White analysis doesn't take into acount panorama shots which are very rapid succession pictures. Furthermore his ideas show absolutely no basis in reality and are often molded to suit his arguments. If you dare question him you become a government dissinformation agent.

My experience has shown that debating the hoax "theory" with those whoare convinced it was fake is a frustrating uphill battle. For the most part, such people do not want to learn the realities of their false assumptions.

cheers,
Dwight
