177. Apollo 11 images of Earth are fake

"In the documentary “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Moon,” you can watch official leaked NASA footage showing Apollo 11 astronauts Buzz Aldrin, Neil Armstrong and Michael Collins, for almost an hour, using transparencies and camera-tricks to fake shots of a round Earth! They communicate over audio with control in Houston about how to accurately stage the shot, and someone keeps prompting them on how to effectively manipulate the camera to achieve the desired effect. First, they blacked out all the windows except for a downward facing circular one, which they aimed the camera towards from several feet away. This created the illusion of a ball-shaped Earth surrounded by the blackness of space, when in fact it was simply a round window in their dark cabin. Neil Armstrong claimed at this point to be 130,000 miles from Earth, half-way to the Moon, but when camera-tricks were finished the viewer could see for themselves the astro-nots were not more than a couple dozen miles above the Earth’s surface, likely flying in a high-altitude plane!"

Dubay cites a documentary that accepts that the Earth is a sphere!

The “documentary” isn’t credible

See the following link and video for a comprehensive debunking of this documentary and its claims that the shots of Earth were faked.

 "... we must sit through all his Bible-thumping, his blatantly emotional rhetoric, some irrelevant allusions to other conspiracy theories, and ham-fisted attempts at historical analysis and scientific criticism. Normally a smoking gun doesn't require half an hour of intense emotional setup; it usually speaks for itself.

To make matters worse, the film is so liberally endowed with Mr. Sibrel's personal interpretations that little room is left for the viewer to draw any other conclusion. A Funny Thing treats its baseless claims as if they were foregone conclusions and repeats them as often as possible. Little wonder that Sibrel can claim 75% of the people who watch his video believe it."

Dubay's claim that the photo is taken from a high altitude plane does not match with the images

The documentary accepts that the Earth is a sphere and that the pictures are taken by astronauts from space.  Its claim is that taking the picture through a round window makes the Earth look further away than it is.

Notice that while Dubay goes one step further by claiming that the round window also fakes the shape of the Earth, he does not dispute that it is actually the real Earth that is seen in the image.

Bearing that in mind,  take a look at the image of Earth below taken from the documentary, it is obviously taken from much further away that would be possible in any plane capable of carrying 3 "astro-nots" and containing such a roomy cabin.

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Moon tells us that the Earth is a sphere, astronauts go to space and that satellites exist

Using this documentary as a reliable source is a bizarre choice for Dubay since it acknowledges that the Earth is a sphere, that satellites are real and that videos of astronauts in zero G are real because they are in orbit.  Its only claim that Dubay agrees with is that the Moon landings are fake.

If people watch this documentary and believe it is true they must also accept that flat Earth is not true.
