Watched the this morning programme with eammon and ruth ....interesting debate on there .... that says the moon landing was false ....and because of modern day research and availability to go on line ....there is no evidence to prove it ever happened

The looks on the face of the scientist were priceless.

The other bloke didn't present ONE single piece of c_edible evidence. Not even a c_edible or logical argument.

This is one of those perpetual idiotic conspiracy theories where the proponents casually ignore the scientific evidence to further their wild and insane ramblings.

The Russians even admitted the Americans landed on the moon at the height of the Cold War and space race.

It happened - fact !!!

It just goes to show the moronic state of daytime chat shows that give this nonsense air time....

There is the mirror or lens - Lunar Laser Ranging experiment - that was placed on the moon by Apollo 11 to measure the distance between the Earth and Moon. Still there, you can fire a laser to bounce off it and measure the distance as the Moon is moving away from the Earth at about 4cm a year.

There's photographic evidence from satellites launched by countries other than the US.Dont you think rivals like Russia and china would love to prove its fake .

Come on people use your brain the landings happened at the height of the Cold War Russia tracked the landers heading to the moon and back .If they could prove it was fake they would.

It most certainly did happen. The Russians beat the Americans in every other part of the space race, if it was staged I don't for a second think they would have just let it slide.

Conspiracy nutters believe the greatest cinematographer of the time Stanley Kubrick (2001 a space oydessy) filmed it for NASA.

However he was such a perfectionist he insisted on filming on location.

There were somewhere in the region of 330,000 NASA employees at the time, the Russians were observing, countless tens of thousands professional/amateur astronomers...And they all lied. It never happened!!!

There is a 'ranging mirror' on the Moon that 11 Universities bounce a laser off 300 times a week. You can apply to some of the universities to watch them do that.

Now unless the Clangers left it out, real Astronauts must have placed it there. lol.

They went.

Everyone used to believe that the Moon landings happened.

Then Hollywood released a movie called Capricorn One.

Then every nutjob between the north and south poles decided that the Moon landings were faked in the same way as in the movie.

Note to nutjobs: Capricorn One was a movie, fiction, it wasn't real life, get it?

BTW It star_ed OJ Simpson. Enough said.

We cant get past the radiation belt.

Have never been back there.

Nasa says they dont have the tech to go back there as it was destroyed.

All the data has been destroyed.

All apollo moon landings where all led by a nazi german scientist who surrende_ed to US in ww2 called Wernher von Braun.

I belong to a football forum which has offshoots.

The conspiracy theories on there are astounding. And those who promote them shout you down when you challenge their “evidence” it’s farcical. I’ve taken to inventing some which they have gone for 100%. One was an old episode of a Sci fi show.

Moon landings happened.

I also happen to know a real life rocket scientist who worked for NASA (not on moon landings he’s too young) and European space agency. It’s all real.

Far being the age of reason the rise of the internet has given voice to these fringe lunatics who spout half baked nonsense...

Because it gets shouted so loudly it get the ear of politicians who then try and make some of these ideas public policy.

Rationality and reason do not work with these people. There are kids today at secondary school who don’t believe in the moon landings as a result of some of the conspiracy theories they have read on the internet.

My daughter brought one of her school friends home who said that it was all staged as she had read it online somewhere and thus did not believe the history books at school..

We are reverting back to an age of superstition and false beliefs.....

Welcome to the age of the internet.....

And in every case the Americans matched them within months, sometimes within weeks. And while the Russians were wasting time with stunta like putting a woman into space (this didn't actually represent any kind of achievement in terms of space flight, if anything sending women up is easier because they're smaller and lighter) or sending up two rockets at once to gloat about, the Americans were developing better equipment and actually working to a plan - when they sent two shops up at once, they did it to test procedures for orbital rendevous and and ships maneuvering around each other, the sort of things they'd need to be able to do on a lunar mission.

I saw quite an interesting debunking of the "we never went" theory, which cent_ed around the fact that we had the technology to go to the moon, but we didn't have the technology to fake it.

Basically, having ploughed loads of money and effort into missile/rocket technology (anongst other things) during WW2, we actually had the wherewithal to launch and land a rocket on the moon.

If memory serves me correctly the argument was that what we didn't have the technology to do was to pre-record enough film to broadcast the entire moon landing, so it would have to be done live, and if it was done live then we didnt have tge technology to alter it so that it looked like it was slo-mo, in order to simulate the effects of lower gravity.

Something like that anyway

And yet you still believe we do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too.-amazing

Of course we went to the moon! Much of the evidence for it has already been quoted here.

My favourite ‘evidence’ for us not going there was passed onto me by an acquaintance. He showed us a photo of the smooth-soled space boots and a photo of the ridged bootprint up on the surface and said, “there you go, they messed up and we caught them at it! No way that boot left that print!”

Erm...actually Paul, if you look at the rest of the kit, there’s the grips, just there, right to the left of the helmet. They clip those onto the boots and it matches the bootprint perfectly.

But of course, no-one has ever been to the moon and Atlantis is full of mermen in the Marianna Trench. Natch.

Ahh but has he?

My own view is we didn't go. Not for any other reason than it's a fun point of view to take and it makes better political sense. Kennedy promised we'd land on the moon within the decade and in the last year of it we did. Reality just isn't well behaved and punctual like that. Space aliens don't land just in time to coincide with an important election. When things are punctual like that it smells awfully fishy, especially when there's a vital importance it's punctual because it's a strategic part of an information war with another country.

I haven't digested any of the silly conspiracy theories about it and the pictures. And I'm not really interested in trying to defend my point of view against the overwhelming evidence for our having landed. Call it just a hunch. One of those "I wouldn't be surprised if" kind of things

Have never been back there.

Nasa says they dont have the tech to go back there as it was destroyed.

All the data has been destroyed.

All apollo moon landings where all led by a nazi german scientist who surrende_ed to US in ww2 called Wernher von Braun.

The fact that our phones are hund_eds of times more powerful than the computer systems they used to get to the moon.

I dont care if im the odd one out or if _abio wants to slap me.

I dont believe weve been to the moon.

This is what was said on the This Morning programme .... the rocket could not go passed the radiation belt... and that technology was so poor in those days ."

Sai by whom though? Was it a renowned scientist or just some crank no one's heard of?

I prefer the Russian Cosmonaut conspiracies myself. They just ruthlessly sent men and women to their deaths.

You can listen to some of the supposed recordings of people cursing their leaders as they burn up upon entering earths atmospher.

The Judica-Cordiglia brothers recording of a female cosmonaunt with the transcript is especially spooky.

You have to laugh at the tin foil hat brigade. How people still believe we faked the moon landings, and flat earth theory is beyond me. As some have already pointed out. This was at the height of the Cold War. If Russia could have proved they were fake. They would have had a field day. I’m not going to even start to explain why the earth isn’t flat!

"Having been to Cape Canaval and witnessed a shuttle launch, tou_ed the site and seen the control room and the Saturn 5 on its side, touched a bit of moon rock and viewed a space suit cove_ed in moon dust in the Air and Space Museum in Washington... it’s very very hard to argue against it I’m my view. Add the fact that the Russians are not leading the naysayers then yeah. Man has been on the moon.

Ahh but has he?

My own view is we didn't go. Not for any other reason than it's a fun point of view to take and it makes better political sense. Kennedy promised we'd land on the moon within the decade and in the last year of it we did. Reality just isn't well behaved and punctual like that. Space aliens don't land just in time to coincide with an important election. When things are punctual like that it smells awfully fishy, especially when there's a vital importance it's punctual because it's a strategic part of an information war with another country.

I haven't digested any of the silly conspiracy theories about it and the pictures. And I'm not really interested in trying to defend my point of view against the overwhelming evidence for our having landed. Call it just a hunch. One of those "I wouldn't be surprised if" kind of things

I think we did go to the moon but maybe faked the footage? Back in them days you couldnt even get film through airport security xray scanners without the radiation destroying the film so how did we fly through the radiation of space with the film still intact? Faked the footage so they had something to show for it, but all the original footage is now missing for some reason and when you look up any footage online it just looks dodgy. There was a photo of Michael Collins on a moon walk which someone compa_ed to a photo of him doing a test run in a warehouse and its the exact same image just reversed and blacked out the background. Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldren brought back and signed moon rock to give to the prime minister of Holland and it turned out to be petrified wood, also a few interviews with the astronauts that are questionable. Even though I do believe that we did actually go to the moon I do think there is something sinister.

"Conspiracy nutters believe the greatest cinematographer of the time Stanley Kubrick (2001 a space oydessy) filmed it for NASA.

However he was such a perfectionist he insisted on filming on location. "

Stanley Kubrick was a director, not a cinematographer (Director of Photography). The Cinematographer on 2001 was Geoff Unsworth. Also Kubrick wasn't known to shoot on location, ever; eyes wide shut wasn't shot in new york etc. Most his films were made in London.

Also, of course humans went to the moon.

Lol I saw this thread and wonde_ed if I'm being baited or something cos my beliefs quite often go against what's popular and in the media.

Ask me this 6 months ago and I absolutely tell you they went. Now I don't know.

The 2 biggest sticking points are the van Allen radiation belts. How the heck did Apollo ever get thru it? I'm serious

The other is auxiliary footage showing Apollo 11 in low earth orbit. The lights in the craft are out and a crescent shaped insert is held up to the window making the earth look smaller and further away than it was. This was not meant to be public. Any explanation for this?

Also who is the 3rd voice that can be heard between Houston and apollo prompting Armstrong to "Talk"?

On the other hand the laser pings come back, but I don't consider Russia and China apparently not making a fuss as any kind of proof.

Motivated only by a desire to know the truth, one way or another, I'd rather just know tbh.

Will we ever really know?

Hmmm yeah that's interesting, hadn't thought of that.

Also, [as Lt.Columbo] One more thing that's buggin me

Is the average temp on the moon really 107C? That's hotter than boiling water and if true obviously raises questions.

Something else is a flag on the ISS or MIR had to be taken down as after 18 months there was hardly any left due to cosmic dust/tiny meteorites pelting it, but after 49 yrs the moon flag is intact though the moon also has no atmosphere?

Does anyone know anything about these and can help?

Something else, to anyone screaming "Fucktards" and the like, is it really a sign of severe mental illness to ask what I think are pretty legitimate questions? Mine for one are genuine and I want to know. Being irrational and abusive is more indicative of mental illness imo I.e. grow up. Thank you.

I’ve always been interested in space but I’m sure they didn’t land on the moon now. There are far too many dodgy photos taken, worth checking YouTube for ‘evidence’. It’s also always bothe_ed me how they got a moon buggy landed when the capsule that landed was so small and cramped.

Over the last few years there’s been a lot made of exploring mars with robots and the technology involved, with difficulties. Yet they’re supposed to have had far more complicated stuff nailed in 1969?

I reckon they had the technology to fly to the moon and orbit it for a few days but the rest was filmed in a studio.

If he did then maybe he was just doing a Micheal Jackson impersonation.

Michael Collins was the command module pilot on Apollo 11. He never set foot on the Moon, he stayed in orbit while Armstrong and Aldrin went down to the surface.

Oh I would just add that the piece of "Petrified wood" was probably the small piece of the Wright brothers propeller blade which Armstrong, along with a small piece of fabric from the wing, took to the Moon as a symbol of progress.

What happened with that petrified wood? Bit naughty lol.

So yeah, what needs to happen is for NASA to go to the moon which can help settle the issue and lay doubts to rest.

So many questions!!

More I've come across:

What was Neil Armstrong talking about when he said in 1994 at the 25th anniversary "the only bird that can talk is the parrot, but it didn't fly too well"?

Frustratingly none of the astronauts when shown the auxiliary footage of apollo 11 holding up the crescent shape to make the earth appear further away explained what they were doing! Just getting real angry, ad hominem attacks, even threatening assassination by the CIA lol. I'll have a look on this.

At least I can say if they faked the landings I think they did a pretty good job to be fair (yes I am saying "to be fair" at the end of the day)

Or real, which is possible. I don't think anyone is impressed with people just making up fantasies. The other extreme is to think there are no conspiracies in the world.

Was just hoping someone might save me the time.

The laser reflection pings are keeping me from crossing to the dark side, but I've seen enough in this life for it not to surprise me if it came out we've been told a big fib all this time.

Just to note, any video or source that aims to debunk fake landings seems to come across with a heavy sense of "anyone who would think otherwise is clearly insane", really laying it on thick. I don't understand why they feel the need for this, it doesn't help IMO and makes it seem almost like they're 'protesting too much'. They'd be better off acknowledging and understanding peoples legitimate concerns then explaining, rather than feeling the need to ridicule.

The earth was spherical in that apollo 11 footage BTW and it was a crescent shape used to cover it, further indicating non-flatness.

Thanks for wishing a good day.

Only thing I would get irked about is like the university professor who said even if Neil Armstrong and co broke down in tears and confessed everything had been falsified he would still believe the moon landings happened. That's the kind of ignorance a person can't buy, on either side.

OK here's a question.

If NASA did fake the Apollo 11 landing why did they bother to fake it another five (it would have been six if Apollo 13 had made it) times?

Surely they would have thought "Phew we got away with it so let's quit while we are ahead" rather than keep risking being found out.

There are some things that are so obvious that I am afraid that questioning them makes you look a bit daft. The moon landings is one of them.

The swedes once did a TV programme about how the 1958 world cup in Sweden had never happened. It was very impressive and raised lots of issues. It was only afterwards it was revealed to be a spoof.

It is perfectly acceptable to pose legitimate questions.

However all the the questions about travel through the Van Allen belts, flag on the moon, technology, why we have not been back to the moon, etc, etc, etc... have all been answe_ed a million and one times. Do your research the evidence is there.

It really is no surprise that when lazy journalists trot out these nay sayers that the scientific community and rational people collectively roll their eyes and get frustrated with this half baked denial nonsense despite all the evidence that proves them wrong.

If you have a genuine legitimate question around the moon landings by all means ask but make sure you have done your research first.

But bare in mind the moon landings did actually happen all the evidence proves that they did happen.

But in my book moon landing denial goes in the same camp as Holocaust denial, Flat Earthers, Hollow Earthers, The world is being ruled by giant alien lizards, Planet X belief, etc....

"...because of modern day research and availability to go on line ....there is no evidence to prove it ever happened"

Speaking as an archaeologist and historian; if the benchmark for proving an event was real is that there’s ‘evidence’ on the internet, then we might as well say the whole of human history before the 1990s never happened.

Mind you, now we’re living in a ‘post truth’ world, what’s the point of worrying about it? We’ll soon have a Ministry of Disinformation to decide on the ‘correct’ history to believe.

"The world is being ruled by giant alien lizards"

Nahhhhhhh, that would be ridiculous. The world i live in is ruled by 2 cats, neither of which has been to Moon (to my knowledge)................although both do look out of the kitchen window at night looking at it

Absolute rubbish, of course the Yanks landed on the moon. FFS they only just got the Apollo 13 crew back after everything went tits up.

"Would you like to explain why, at the height of the cold war, the Soviets never exposed the fakery and why, of the thousands of people who must have been involved in said fakery, not one has. "confessed"? "

Just playing devil's advocate. I would imagine that NASA is significantly modular enough so that each compartment may be capable of being told all the other compartments are done and it ok theirs only half works or fails and they'd just assume that's a correct assessment. After that nobody in NASA need know it's a fake. They would all watch people go up into space. Then move to other systems to check their progress. These systems may only be controlled by a few people and some of these may again be modularised so that some people didn't know what they were doing or that it was fake. As such, the conspiracy itself could have been conducted with an elite squad of special psy ops people and the astronauts. They would have also needed to hide the orbiting space module before it re-ente_ed our atmosphere and landed in time to a cue.

By minimalising and segmenting off the amount of people who were genuinely involved in the hoax and aiming not to con the Russians but rather to con NASA, this would have been a far more effective way of convincing the Russians. It's hard to deny something happened that a large team of clever scientists are totally convinced happened. Having it confirmed that NASA itself was totally convinced they'd landed on the moon, it followed in the mind of Americas enemies that they therefore had.

Just devil's advocate. But thought I'd highlight how sometimes anti-conspiracy people's version of "what must have happened for it to have been a conspiracy" can be a bit dumb and short sighted. Sometimes that's a bit of a strawman argument

"They were still using baked bean cans and string as telephones back then, but by some miracle we got a rocket to the moon with all the technological capability of a Casio calculator. We can’t even get to the moon now ! "
This is what I find strange if they managed it all them years ago why has no one ever been back since. Surely with modern tech we would be setting up a station on the moon..

It's fantastically expensive and, with the race against the Soviets won, the US wasn't willing to keep spending the money.

For the record I’ll just say that the timing was very convenient given Kennedy’s proclamation to put man on the moon.

Mind you, now we’re living in a ‘post truth’ world, what’s the point of worrying about it? We’ll soon have a Ministry of Disinformation to decide on the ‘correct’ history to believe."

Yes there is a lot of disinformation already, that's why its good people are bringing stuff to the table and we can sort through. We might not have this luxury much longer with censorship looming.

We are being lied to about plenty of things so naturally I'm on suspicious alert right now, maybe too much. My posts are basically saying why I think this could have been one of them.

Essex.

Two repeatedly asked questions.

How did they get through the Van Allen belt?

Basically, they used modified snow ploughed coated in lead paint.

How did they get the moon rover up there in such a small craft?

On a roof rack, cove_ed in a really well tied down tarpaulin.

Because there is nothing really to go back for.

After Apollo 17 they had more than enough lumps of rock and from the six Apollo missions that landed they had learned that the Moon was just that. A barren dusty lump of rock, nothing more.

Although some scientists would probably have had a base there high on their wish list. The cost of building, manning, and supplying it would have been (literally) astronomical.

NASA's priority changed from the Moon to developing a re-usable spacecraft (Space Shuttle) to cater for the growing satellite market (both military and non military)

Mr Spoon managed it in the 80s with a tuna tin, Heinz naked bean tin, and a funnel, so it's not that hard. Although in fairness he was clearly the Hawkins of CITV.

"

Wrong and wrong again.

Firstly Armstrong and Aldrin never presented a moon rock, or anything else, to the Dutch Prime Minister.

The country received two tiny fragments of rock, one from Apollo 11 and another "goodwill rock" from Apollo 17. Both of these are accounted for and genuine.

The piece of wood that was left as a "moon rock" to the Rijksmuseum was almost certainly always just that, a lump of wood. It had been given to former (note former) Prime minister Willem Drees by the then US Ambassador to Holland J.W.Middendorf.

Drees who was not only over 10 years out of office but was also blind and nearly deaf when he received it, and according to his Grandson, mistakenly believed that it was a genuine piece of the Moon. It should also be noted that the Apollo 11 crew were visiting Holland as part of a goodwill tour when it was presented, which to a blind almost deaf and probably confused old man would add c_edence to his mistaken belief. Also at 89 grams it was huge by comparison to the actual Moon rocks presented to the Dutch nation which had a combined weight of 0.05 grams.

Bottom line is that an old man was given a fossil and due to confusion and timing he thought it was from the Moon.

OK next point. Most of the Moon rocks returned to Earth have NOT gone missing.

The ones that have disappea_ed are mostly the Apollo 17 "goodwill rocks" that the Nixon administration presented to the nations of the world, and quite a few of the original Apollo 11 rocks that were dished out in a similar way. The disappearance of these is nothing more sinister than corruption and greed. Most are believed to have been sold to private collectors by corrupt government officials or heads of state (Spain being a very good example) The total weight of all the rocks distributed around the world is less than half a kilo.

The vast majority (if not all) of NASA's own stock (382 kilo's) is locked away and accounted for and small samples are given for research and larger rocks are loaned for exhibitions.

Your two assertions are classic examples of taking one story and turning it on its head to make another.

.

Rocks with different angle shadows on the moon with just the sun as light.

A space craft that looks like its made of tin foil

There's a Mitchell and Webb sketch where the point is made that given the huge complexity and expense involved in making a convincing fake trip to the moon, you may as well just make a real trip..

It's astonishing is it not that all these people on the Internet can spot the evidence that shows the trip was fake, yet in the 22 years of the Ussrs existence after the moon landing not one of their highly intelligent scientists thought there was enough evidence to suggest the landing was fake. Think of what a massive propaganda victory that would have been for them.

Frankly moon landing denial is up there with Holocaust denial and flat earth theorists. It's a strong indication that you're not the brightest tool in the box...

I watch these videos on youtube..often commenting. In most cases it can be seen as harmless..its not. Some of these youtube shills are making millions, like those evangelist types.

These people are are against scientists,nasa,government for a variety of 'reasons', so they try to debunk anything by using snippets of science that suits their agenda.

yesterday I watched a well made video about hollow earth...to my amazement there was a few thousand thumbs down...opposed to 22K thumbs up!!!!!!!!!!!!(with obvious commentators praising the 'truth' exposing the world 'lies'...

yup 22k!- want to believe in a hollow earth, thats inhabited by other beings.

"Watched the this morning programme with eammon and ruth ....interesting debate on there .... that says the moon landing was false ....and because of modern day research and availability to go on line ....there is no evidence to prove it ever happened"
Neil Armstrong and buzz aldrins footsteps are on the moon it was televised and let's face it seeing is believing

"They were still using baked bean cans and string as telephones back then, but by some miracle we got a rocket to the moon with all the technological capability of a Casio calculator. We can’t even get to the moon now ! This is what I find strange if they managed it all them years ago why has no one ever been back since. Surely with modern tech we would be setting up a station on the moon..

Because there is nothing really to go back for.

After Apollo 17 they had more than enough lumps of rock and from the six Apollo missions that landed they had learned that the Moon was just that. A barren dusty lump of rock, nothing more.

Although some scientists would probably have had a base there high on their wish list. The cost of building, manning, and supplying it would have been (literally) astronomical.

NASA's priority changed from the Moon to developing a re-usable spacecraft (Space Shuttle) to cater for the growing satellite market (both military and non military)

The moon rock that Armstrong and Aldrin gave to the Dutch prime minister turned out to just be petrified wood. (Probably all are).

NASA have said most of the moon rocks they brought back have gone missing.

Wrong and wrong again.

Firstly Armstrong and Aldrin never presented a moon rock, or anything else, to the Dutch Prime Minister.

The country received two tiny fragments of rock, one from Apollo 11 and another "goodwill rock" from Apollo 17. Both of these are accounted for and genuine.

The piece of wood that was left as a "moon rock" to the Rijksmuseum was almost certainly always just that, a lump of wood. It had been given to former (note former) Prime minister Willem Drees by the then US Ambassador to Holland J.W.Middendorf.

Drees who was not only over 10 years out of office but was also blind and nearly deaf when he received it, and according to his Grandson, mistakenly believed that it was a genuine piece of the Moon. It should also be noted that the Apollo 11 crew were visiting Holland as part of a goodwill tour when it was presented, which to a blind almost deaf and probably confused old man would add c_edence to his mistaken belief. Also at 89 grams it was huge by comparison to the actual Moon rocks presented to the Dutch nation which had a combined weight of 0.05 grams.

Bottom line is that an old man was given a fossil and due to confusion and timing he thought it was from the Moon.

OK next point. Most of the Moon rocks returned to Earth have NOT gone missing.

The ones that have disappea_ed are mostly the Apollo 17 "goodwill rocks" that the Nixon administration presented to the nations of the world, and quite a few of the original Apollo 11 rocks that were dished out in a similar way. The disappearance of these is nothing more sinister than corruption and greed. Most are believed to have been sold to private collectors by corrupt government officials or heads of state (Spain being a very good example) The total weight of all the rocks distributed around the world is less than half a kilo.

The vast majority (if not all) of NASA's own stock (382 kilo's) is locked away and accounted for and small samples are given for research and larger rocks are loaned for exhibitions.

Your two assertions are classic examples of taking one story and turning it on its head to make another.

No such thing as moon rocks anyway.

We havnt been there...so therefore everything you wrote means nothing.

Doesn't matter what buzz or niel gave the Dutch pm, or anything about moon rocks going awol.

Never been to the moon, never will.

Yes you are probably right. It is just too difficult to lift off from a flat earth.

Lifting off from a flat earth is fine.

Just try getting past the van halen radiotion belts otherwise known as the firmanent.

"

Is this serious? about the van allen belts?

flat earthers have been trying this one for ages lol..

It's all been explained before that the amount of radiation would not affect astronauts to any degree by the amount of exposure they would have travelling through it...ffs...they even knew about going through it at a certain point to _educe the chances of prolonged exposure.

Again, moon deniers,flat earthers..always appear to pick what parts of the science facts they like, while denying the entirety of the evidence.

"fake moon landings,flat earth(inc firmament dome),hollow earth,heliocentric earth(yes some still believe we are center of the universe),hollow moon...

I watch these videos on youtube..often commenting. In most cases it can be seen as harmless..its not. Some of these youtube shills are making millions, like those evangelist types.

These people are are against scientists,nasa,government for a variety of 'reasons', so they try to debunk anything by using snippets of science that suits their agenda.

yesterday I watched a well made video about hollow earth...to my amazement there was a few thousand thumbs down...opposed to 22K thumbs up!!!!!!!!!!!!(with obvious commentators praising the 'truth' exposing the world 'lies'...

yup 22k!- want to believe in a hollow earth, thats inhabited by other beings. "

The reason is that no one with half a brain is going to look at stuff like that. Only the deluded and paranoid will.

Yes there was a moon landing, it was recorded by the people at Jodrell Bank. There are doubts about the moon landing film, but the landing really happened.

"It says more about the people who believe what they are told religiously than it does about about people who question everything.

We were told saddam had wmd’s. People lie for their own agenda. Especially govts and their agencies. "

Do your research.

During the Iran-Iraq war both sides used chemical weapons.

After the 1st Gulf War Saddam used chemical weaponds on th Kurds.

These two examples prove Saddam had chemical weapons and the means with which to deploy them.

heres a great example of a flattard response, obviously based around the 'nasa lies':-

"Richard Hopkins where is your proof that the ball earth distances are correct. Oh. You believe nasasholes.. Bwaahhaahhhaahhaa. Gobble gobble gobble... The Ballshit distancez are from fe map. Yoy explain why ALL archaeological uncovering reveal/depict the FE with a dome.. NEVER a spinning ball. Lose again.. You believe a fairy take invented by a Catholic priest with no telescope. What evidence did he show to prove the moon and planets are solid balls... A.. NONE. He guessed it, And there is still no proof because they arn't planets. Guliable fool.. Venus is transparent. Explain that... So is the moon. Explain that... Yoy cannot because there is no evidence to prove it. At least the FE has real proof /evidence... Not based on cartoon photos.. Bwaahhaahhhaahhaa..

Absolutely.

However, when you think about it, It's quite, nay very, insulting to the guys who actually did the Apollo flights and their p_edecessors in the Mercury and Gemini programmes.

These guys sat on top of what was basically a giant firework and blasted off into the unknown. They then left the orbit of the Earth and set off to the Moon using little more than a slingshot technique, then landed on a lump of inhospitable rock while in a vacuum with only their suits as protection. None could be sure they would ever see their families again (and 3 very nearly didn't)

It is also very insulting to the memory of the 3 that died in the Apollo 1 fire and the subsequent Space Shuttle tragedies.

All for what? Five minutes of fame as an internet expert on fuck all.

Armstrong, Aldrin, Collins, Conrad, Bean, Gordon, Lovell, Swiggert, Haise, Sheppard, Roosa, Mitchell, Scott, Irwin, Worden, Young, Duke, Mattingly, Cernan, Evans, and Schmitt are worth a million keyboard warriors who have basically achieved fuck all in comparison. Those guys really did have "The Right Stuff"

"Would you like to explain why, at the height of the cold war, the Soviets never exposed the fakery and why, of the thousands of people who must have been involved in said fakery, not one has. "confessed"?

Just playing devil's advocate. I would imagine that NASA is significantly modular enough so that each compartment may be capable of being told all the other compartments are done and it ok theirs only half works or fails and they'd just assume that's a correct assessment. After that nobody in NASA need know it's a fake. They would all watch people go up into space. Then move to other systems to check their progress. These systems may only be controlled by a few people and some of these may again be modularised so that some people didn't know what they were doing or that it was fake. As such, the conspiracy itself could have been conducted with an elite squad of special psy ops people and the astronauts. They would have also needed to hide the orbiting space module before it re-ente_ed our atmosphere and landed in time to a cue.

By minimalising and segmenting off the amount of people who were genuinely involved in the hoax and aiming not to con the Russians but rather to con NASA, this would have been a far more effective way of convincing the Russians. It's hard to deny something happened that a large team of clever scientists are totally convinced happened. Having it confirmed that NASA itself was totally convinced they'd landed on the moon, it followed in the mind of Americas enemies that they therefore had.

Just devil's advocate. But thought I'd highlight how sometimes anti-conspiracy people's version of "what must have happened for it to have been a conspiracy" can be a bit dumb and short sighted. Sometimes that's a bit of a strawman argument

There's a Mitchell and Webb sketch where the point is made that given the huge complexity and expense involved in making a convincing fake trip to the moon, you may as well just make a real trip..

It's astonishing is it not that all these people on the Internet can spot the evidence that shows the trip was fake, yet in the 22 years of the Ussrs existence after the moon landing not one of their highly intelligent scientists thought there was enough evidence to suggest the landing was fake. Think of what a massive propaganda victory that would have been for them.

Frankly moon landing denial is up there with Holocaust denial and flat earth theorists. It's a strong indication that you're not the brightest tool in the box... "

and another video..hopefully giving idea of the actual scale that flattards cant comprehend. All this data has been gathe_ed for years with a variety of instruments, and it beggars belief why it'd be all made up...let's assume the numbers of people/agencies requi_ed to keep up this fakery..as well as the cost of keeping them quiet.

I don’t have sports or entertainment heroes. But to me the 12 Apollo Astronauts who walked on the moon plus the 12 who flew to the moon without landing and all the other astronauts who trained but never flew are the real heroes of this world. I also include all the Soviet cosmonauts...

I had the privilege of meeting Shuttle commander Ken Cameron a few years ago and that far better than any sports personality I have met and I have met quite a number over the years...

We went to and landed on the moon on July 21st 1969.

I really don’t expect the denial fantatsis to believe as you can’t teach stupid.

To the rational here I recommend the film - In the shadow of the moon.

“Tranquility base here. The Eagle has landed”

"Didnt happen in my opinion.

We cant get past the radiation belt.

Have never been back there.

Nasa says they dont have the tech to go back there as it was destroyed.

All the data has been destroyed.

All apollo moon landings where all led by a nazi german scientist who surrende_ed to US in ww2 called Wernher von Braun.

The fact that our phones are hund_eds of times more powerful than the computer systems they used to get to the moon.

I dont care if im the odd one out or if _abio wants to slap me.

I dont believe weve been to the moon.

"

Never been back there? There have been six manned landings on the moon. So that’s half your argument out of the window.

One thing that still bothers me. Apollo 17, the last one. There’s footage of the landing craft taking off to rejoin the capsule orbiting the moon. If it was a fixed camera then the craft would disappear up off the screen. But instead the camera follows the craft upwards!!

It’s almost as if there’s someone holding the camera . It can’t be a remote control camera because the time delay to earth and back would take too long for this live footage.

The time of engine ignition, time of liftoff and rate of climb were all known within reasonable margins beforehand. Easy to pre-program the camera to keep the LEM upper stage in shot during liftoff. I've seen the footage; if someone had been holding the camera I would have expected better results.

Masked and Distant

Auto rate of tilt trigge_ed at point of lift off frim earth (2 second signal delay from earth, hence pause in tilt srart), camera was mounted on lunar rover at set distance from module. It was tried 3 times until they got it right.

Apollo 15 - camera didn't tilt.

Apollo 16 - all worked but lunar rover too close and module went of shot.

Apollo 17 - all worked ok.

Next

"It says more about the people who believe what they are told religiously than it does about about people who question everything.

We were told saddam had wmd’s. People lie for their own agenda. Especially govts and their agencies.

Do your research.

During the Iran-Iraq war both sides used chemical weapons.

After the 1st Gulf War Saddam used chemical weaponds on th Kurds.

These two examples prove Saddam had chemical weapons and the means with which to deploy them.

So NOT nuclear then like blair n bush were spouting about?"

WMD's encompass Nuclear, Biological, Chemical and Radiological weapons, and the fear was that Saddam had chemical weapons capable of reaching a number of other countries.
