Apollo Hoax Activity Results

Here's what I got:

I gave the X-Tract site a 26 which falls 10 short of even being average. It lost points because it had few graphics which were not very aesthetically pleasing and because there was no contact information, no update information, and no credibility information or citations whatsoever. I find no reason to trust the author of this site.

I gave Nasa's site a 48 which is the minimum of a worthy site. It lost points because of having no graphics and being way too long for one page. In every other respect, this page was great. It gave author information and provided a contact address for questions. The had an update section and comes from a reputable source with valid links to pictures and more history, including recent facts.

Xtract score: 18
Nasa score: 51
Xtract opinion: Positives: The site was well-organized and the links worked.
Negatives: No sources cited. No author name. Author did not seem credible. No contact address or date when it was last updated.
Nasa Opinion: Positives: Well-organized. Sources and author were cited and seemed credible. There is a contact address and date when last updated. The links work.
Negatives: No pictures or sounds, aside from the clip art at the top. (Not really a negative, because it was a long article and adding pictures and sounds would have made it hard to download.) As it is, downloading is a little slow.
