17. The simulation centers at Langley (Hampton, Virginia) and Houston - the "Control Center" at Houston was none
The possibilities having simulated "moon flights" and "moon landings" with different operating machines - Apollo 12 indicates the simulation in the moon hall

The emergency situation for the "USA" after sputnik - the construction of simulating machines at Langley (Hampton, Virginia) and Houston (Manned Spacecraft Center) and others
Since Sputnik the space flight simulation center at Langley is enlarged as a vision for technical wisdom that does not yet exist in reality. The principle according Wisnewski is: "One needs a simulator machine because the own ambition overruns the capacity."
(In: James R. Hansen, NASA historian: Spaceflight Revolution, SP-4308, S.369; electronic edition: http://history.nasa.gov/SP-4308/contents.htm; Wisnewski, p.283)
[By this "USA" begins to put billions of $ of tax sums into so called "centers for manned space flight", e.g. the "Manned spacecraft center", with simulators and all other fantasies for "space flight":
-- at Langley in Hampton (Virginia)
-- at Houston (Texas)
-- the Kennedy Space Center in Florida etc.
The simulation centers are sprinkled over the "USA" in a kind that more or less in half of the "USA" is situated one so at least half of the population can be infected with the "moon fever" or "space fever" and will be manipulated in this manner].
Langley, Houston etc.: Perfect "moon film" simulations
The standard book about the simulation centers [faking centers] is the book "Spaceflight Revolution" by NASA historian James R. Hansen (Wisnewski, p.289).
[This is no conspiracy theory, stupid journalist, but Hansen describes first-hand facts].
According to Hansen the "moon theaters" at Langley are rehearsed in any detail like in a theater also with general rehearsals etc. (Wisnewski, p.273). At the end one cannot distinguish anything from a "real performance" (Wisnewski, p.274). So, there is only a little step to pretend simulated films as real "moon films", but it's a "big step for mankind".
Wisnewski:
Simulation centers: The "control center" at Houston has no control!
The control center at Houston has nothing to say concerning the simulation centers. Houston control center has no control what is simulated and what is not simulated.
[So, the "control center" at Houston was not at all a "control center", but Langley at Hampton and the Manned Space Flight Center at Houston (Texas) were the "control centers" without having said this any time. And the media never want to have realized it...]
The simulators
Command Module Simulator (CM simulator) for the working operations of the atmosphere ship and for the fly characteristics
Actions are:
-- to run the atmosphere ship
-- to steer the atmosphere ship, navigation
-- the simulation pretends real signals, acoustically and optically (Wisnewski, p.275).

There comes up the question why there was training on the Lunar Module Mission Simulator only since 1968 when the project is a "moon landing" which should take place in one year (Wisnewski, p.280-281). In the Lunar Module Mission Simulator the astronauts look on four screens with a projected, artificial moon surface, and the simulation can pretend scenes until to the "moon landing". The "moon astronauts" even stay therein over night having preparation for the situation "on the moon".
(In: Cradle of Aviation Museum; www.cradleofaviation.org/exhibits/space/Im_simulator/sim.html; Wisnewski, p.281)
Simulation of the tuning between capsule and Lunar Module
(Wisnewski, p.275)
Simulation of docking procedures (Docking Simulator, "Rendezvous-Simulator")
(Wisnewski, p.292)
The docking procedures were rehearsed soon already within the Gemini program and continued during the Apollo program.
The moon crane: The "Lunar Landing Research Facility": "Moon landing" on the rope - on a "Lunar surface"
[The fotos have the abbreviation "EL" which probably stands for "elevator"].
"Langley Research Center" builds a big overhead crane, almost 80 m high and 120 m long, for having "landed" a Lunar Module "as an exercise", with an artificial moon surface (Wisnewski, p.281).
The crane is completed in 1965.
(http://history.nasa.gov/SP-4308/ch11.htm)
[By this it's easy to play "moon landing"]. In this way a plenty of "landing films" are made (Wisnewski, p.281), [which are later presented as blurred TV films of a "moon landing" in the whole world].
The moon crane costs 3.5 Mio. $, relatively cheap compared with other simulators. Principally the moon crane shall simulate the gravitation on the moon taking the Lunar Module in the air so the engine of the Lunar Module only has 1/6 of the Earth's gravitation (Wisnewski, p.283).
On the moon crane hang only little "Lunar Modules" ("Moon Landing Vehicles") with a little cabin:
A "Lunar Landing Vehicle" with a round cabin on the top, foto no. L-1963-09781.
[The "Lunar Landing Vehicles" have no ascent module and the cabin is only for one person].
Fotos show astronauts in the 1960s posing before the Moon Landing Vehicles under the moon crane:
But how these "Moon Landing Vehicles" can fly is never shown on a foto. The centroid seems to be much too high even at these vehicles and the vehicle would always incline.
The real Lunar Module with only one single engine, the "Lunar Excursion Module" LEM, later called only "Lunar Module" LM with it's two stages descent stage and ascent stage has never flown according to the fact data because here the centroid is even higher and the vehicle would incline at once.
Wisnewski about the Lunar Module:
(orig.: "Ob und wie die Landefähre auf dem Mond würde aufsetzen und wieder starten können, wurde ganz einfach nicht erprobt." (Wisnewski, p.115)
But the Lunar Module always hang on a rope. The moon crane was the warrant for a "clean moon landing". The "Lunar Module" was: Wisnewski:
"absolutely softly landed on the 'lunar surface' " (Wisnewski, p.283), and of course there is no landing crater under the engine. The background is variated by backdrops, the bottom is filled up with earth (Wisnewski, p.284). The shadows in the artificial craters are made specially black by spray to pretend a harder light shadow effect "as if it would be on the moon"
(Wisnewski, p.285).
[The rope and the crane will be manipulated black for the "scenery" in "space"].
NASA expert Hansen in "Spaceflight Revolution":
(In: Hansen, James R.: Spaceflight Revolution, SP-4308, S.375; Internet edition,
http://history.nasa.gov/SP-4308/ch11.htm (August 2006); Wisnewski, p.285).
http://history.nasa.gov/SP-4308/ch11.htm (August 2006); Wisnewski, p.285).
An in the same way it's possible to use the moon crane for the start from the moon, without engine flame of course, but on a rope with a speed to 30 km/h.
(In: Hansen, James R.: Spaceflight Revolution, SP-4308, S.375; Internet edition, http://history.nasa.gov/SP-4308/contents.htm; Wisnewski, p.285).
[The rope and the crane are painted black in the "moon film" so there is the impression of a "space"].
The "sky crane helicopter"
One possibility which is not mentioned by Wisnewski to make a scenery to "start from the moon" is the flight of the Lunar Module on a sky crane helicopter lifting the Module into the sky. Such a helicopter exists within the "US" army since 1962.
Initial work on the Sikorsky heavy-lift 'sky-crane' helicopter began in 1958. The first flight of the turboshaft-powered S-64 "Skycrane" was May 9, 1962.
(http://www.showcasereplicas.com/helicopters.html)
The NASA has got the helicopter at Langley in the "program", and it would be easy having a Lunar Module hanging on the helicopter's rope.
Simulation of the starry sky with planets
(Wisnewski, p.292)
Simulations with a moon model Lunar Orbit and Letdown Approach Simulator (LOLA) at Langley
The huge moon model costs 1.9 Mio. $. Around the huge moon ball is built a little railway to simulate moon orbits (Wisnewski, p.286-287), with TV technique (Wisnewski, p.288). foto no. L-65-5579 (Wisnewski, p.287).

A problematic "Earth rise" of 23 Aug 1966
The foto with the Earth rise taken by the so called "moon satellite" "Lunar Orbiter 1" (official number I-102H2, "I" for Lunar Orbiter 1) seem not "from the moon" but the foto seems to be from simulation installation LOLA according to the foto number of NASA historian Hansen with the number L-66-6399.66, "L" stands for Langley).
Hansen himself does not mention the contradiction. It seems to be a faked foto - as so many, and the press presents the foto as a real moon foto
(In: James R. Hansen: Spaceflight Revolution: http://history.nasa.gov/SP-4308/contents.htm; Wisnewski,S.286, 288-289)
LOLA Earth rising from 23 Aug 1966, L-66-6399. The foto registration "L" stands for the simulation center at Langley. Also that a "Lunar satellite" "Lunar Orbiter 1" can send a foto over 380,000 km to the Earth seams to be very unrealistic when even a laser beam is 7 km large over this distance...
[That's why all other moon fotos and planet fotos are not sure. A neutral investigation about "space flight" did not take place until now...]
How accidents can be simulated - the "control center" at Houston does not know when the scenery is simulated
Accidents, fails and problems can be simulated at Langley without exception (Wisnewski, p.275-276). All in all more than 1,000 training problems are foreseen in the simulation's program, e.g. the accident with an explosion of an oxygen tank like it was with Apollo 13.
Wisnewski:
"The simulator can simulate to the control center a real command module, and this happens by transmitting of measurement data from the command simulator to the control center."
(orig.: "Der Simulator kann dem Kontrollzentrum eine echte Kommandokapsel vorspielen, und zwar durch die Übertragung von Messwerten aus der Simulatorkapsel in das Kontrollzentrum.")
(In: Duncan, John: Reliability and Training; www.apollosaturn.com/asnr/p239-244.htm; Wisnewski, p.276)
In the control center the cables of the lying atmosphere ships or of the simulators can be plugged in without the control center itself knows what is going on (Wisnewski, p.279).
Wisnewski:
<"Simulations were easy to perform. The instructors hang off the extern stations of the Manned Space Flight Network and gave in the according stream of data of their ground simulation machinery... The controller at Mission Control Center did not know where the data came from and was not interested in either." This was 'purposely foreseen so the simulations did not differ from the missions.>
(orig.: <"Simulationen waren einfach durchzuführen. Die Instruktoren klemmten einfach die externen Stationen des Manned-Space-flight-Netzwerks ab und speisten einen entsprechenden Strom von Daten ein, der von ihrem eigenen Bodenequipment erzeugt wurde... Die Controller im Mission Control Center wussten weder, wo die Daten herkamen, noch kümmerten sie sich darum." Dies war 'absichtlich so vorgesehen, damit sich Simulationen nicht von echten Missionen unterscheiden liessen".>)
(In: www.clavius.org; Wisnewski, p.277)
The "control center" at Houston even does not know if real flights or simulations are controlled (Wisnewski, p.276). The other groups of the NASA project can never distinguish if there is a simulation or not, and the employees were not allowed to be interested in (Wisnewski, p.279). The "controller" do not realize if it is a simulation or not (Wisnewski, p.278).
[The "controller" are not "controllers" but extras in a "moon play"].
99 % are simulations, and there is nothing special with it. It could have been also 100 % simulations... (Wisnewski, p.278).
[Blurred pictures of simulations could be the "moon films", this is no problem to realize. So any film producer can produce a "moon film"...]
Conclusion: The control center at Houston was no "control center" but a rabbit in the "moon play"...
Blurred fotos from the control center in TV
The "controller" make their jobs during Gemini and Apollo program. The controllers are no more than super-numeracies and shall not put stupid questions who is composing the films in which way. The pictures of the control center are absolutely no evidence for a "moon landing", so, but more for a simulation. A controller does not claim because he knows that he controls mostly simulations only... (Wisnewski, p.278)
Add to this the pictures from the control center itself in TV during the "moon landing" are very unsharp as the pictures "from the moon" (Wisnewski, p.278-279). The faces on the TV pictures are not visible. The probative force of these pictures is 0 (Wisnewski, p.279).
[Every soccer game of that time is transmitted in sharper pictures than the "moon landing" and the "control center" during the "moon landing"...]
The employees of the NASA program are silent
The little employees in the Apollo program have nothing to say (Wisnewski, p.279-280). There is military secrecy. There are secrecy paragraphs in the contracts, and eventually also an oath, with heavy threat of punishment when treachery happens (Wisnewski, p.280).
Simulations: The waving flag on the moon with a ventilator
Moon lie: Waving flag on the moon with ventilator, little movie | |
It is clear that the flag "on the moon" has got a pole so it will not drop. But the flag is waving all the time like in a stiff wind. This seems to be a well functioning ventilator (Wisnewski, p.285),
[as ventilators are used also for portrait fotos to simulate wind in the hair].
The landing engine of the Lunar Module cannot have caused the waving because with several 1,000°C hot gases the flag had been melt at once to a clump. There would be possible only a "cold stream" of the engine. But in this case the Lunar Module would never had flown (Wisnewski, p.286).
It really has never flown:
"If and how the Lunar Module would land on the moon and start again simply had never been rehearsed."
(orig.: "Ob und wie die Landefähre auf dem Mond würde aufsetzen und wieder starten können, wurde ganz einfach nicht erprobt." (Wisnewski, p.115)
Simulations: Apollo 12 utters the possibility of the moon studio
[as ventilators are used also for portrait fotos to simulate wind in the hair].

Simulations: Apollo 12 utters the possibility of the moon studio
| Moon lie Apollo 12: Astronaut Conrad unfolds the flag "on the moon" and utters the possibility it could be only a "model"... |
Conrad comes out of the shadow of the Lunar Module and says:
"Hey man, this sun is bright. It seems to be as if somebody had a lightspot in a hand..."
Conrad collects samples and says:
"I will tell you what ... you know, this sun ... it's really as if somebody had turned on a super spotlight..."
Conrad wonders about the missing landing crater:
"The landing engine - it's just the same as with Neil. The engine has not produced a crater at all! [...] Look at the lading engine - it has not produced even a hole!"
Conrad about the flag "on the Moon":
"This American flag looks fine, just aside the Lunar Module, is it? It looks like a model."
(Wisnewski, p.273)
Wisnewski:
"If one looks through the many 100 s of pages of radio transcript of Apollo 12 so one gets the feeling having been at a volleyball game on Saturday afternoon and not having been witness of heavy steps of the human beings on a foreign and deadly orb."
(orig.: "Wenn man die vielen 100 Seiten der Funkprotokolle von Apollo 12 durchblättert, dann bekommt man auch das Gefühl, einem Volleyballspiel an einem Samstagnachmittag zu lauschen und nicht den beschwerlichen Schritten der Gattung Mensch auf einem fremden und tödlichen Himmelskörper." (Wisnewski, p.274).
At the end Houston said after 131 hours and 51 minutes mission time:
"This was the best simulation we ever had." And nobody laughed... (Wisnewski, p.275)
[and nothing had been corrected].
