Moon landing - Fact or fake?

[Finn]

Watch it, don't even say that in jest - he packs a hell of a punch.

Yeah I saw Buzz take out that activist. Nice upper cut.

[SimJen]

Yeah, great reply! You're a legend!
As you stated, I must be friggin thick I guess!! For I don't believe in God either! Nor do I believe in the tooth fairy, the Easter bunny, Santa, aliens or monsters in general - but hold on - millions of people do!! We even try to convince our kids to believe in lies!! I say again, I must be thick, cause I don't agree with the masses.

I like to prove to myself beyond reasonable doubt, that something is possible or plausible. Not just cause someone else says so.

As for the mirrors, who says they were put there by manned missions??
Lots of countries have put all sorts of objects on different lunar masses!

As far as the computer code goes - I used to write it when I was 14!! I even had programs published in a few publications when I was 14. Not bad for someone with little to no comprehension of difficult to understand things eh. But once again - I must have been over come by your idea of "Voodoo Magic". Simply I can't have done it cause no one told me I could do it. Is that your logic??
I also held a commercial pilots licence too. But I don't now - it seems to be above my knowledge base.
Don't summise someone that you don't know - You just make an ass of yourself!
Not every 'non-believer' is a thick individual that you imply.

I'm not the one thats made an ass of myself. I'm not a conspiracy lover!
I suppose you think 9/11 was a government run plot too!
If you are as bright as you say you are then you would of gathered all the facts and gleaned an opinion.
From what I've seen of "ALL" the facts, Man did land on the moon!
None of what the conspiracists have come up with has held up and can all be discounted by simple methods (which seemingly have "as usual" for conspiricists been conveniently overlooked).
If you like to be different from the crowd, then fine, but your opinion is based on illogical findings based on others illogical findings with an agenda.
I applaud you for believing what you believe and standing up for it.....

[scrivy]

Jeez mate, I never knew people like you existed.....not.
So all the "MASSIVE" evidence supporting the moon landing has completely missed you! You would rather believe a tiny amount of "Conspiracy", big ups to ya.
I have found that people who have little to no comprehension of difficult to understand things, almost always dispute the hard facts when something seems to be above their knowledge base.
I suppose electronics are actually "Voodoo Magic" because all that computer code could not be written by mere Humans!

Is that your idea of applauding someone with a different idea to yourself?? Being condascending and belittling?
When did I say I was a conspiracy lover?? I cant recall! How did you get that idea - just cause I didn't believe in the moon landings?? Get real!!
You assuming again?

Good that we live in a free country eh.

[idb]

The education system these days! I instantly knew what Skyryder was on about. One benefit to being an old fart, I guess.

Mis-spell!!!
You meant old perv.

[SimJen]

Technically its not a free country
Not while Hellen is running it
Believe what you will, I do.....and I don't give a shit if you don't believe what I do.

[scumdog]

Back in the early/mid 70's, my mother actually talked to Buzz one on one at an aviation conference in Australia.
Even before the conspiracy theories had emerged, she asked him some simple questions (cause she had a few brains in her head), and she said he blushed and then walked away - as if ashamed!! Not convinced

You mother probably had her fly open!

Do you REALLY think that after all those interviews, talks, questions after the moon landing that Buzz would STILL blush and walk away from a 'simple' question???

[idb]

Hmmmmmmmmm....
*stares into middle distance, slight frown, tapping chin with forefinger*

[Ocean1]

Or of being born english speaking...something I lack I'm afraid!

Besides, even old farts can be shown a few new things!

Well I wasn't born speaking Inglish, (it was a form of very fluent gibberish) and I knew exactly what he meant. Guess we learn about what interests us huh?

Seem to recall that the word in question has it's roots in the French... your attention was obviously elsewhere that day eh?

MOON LANDINGS WERE HOAX!
The world was shaken to the very core yesterday as it was once and for all proven that the Moon Landings were faked. President Bush has ordered an immediate investigation and promised that all those found to be involved with this deception shall be brought to justice.

SCIENTISTS BAFFLED

Prof. William Stevens (58) looks justifiably embarrassed. "I simply can't explain it." He said to reporters outside his University offices yesterday. "Why didn't I notice this before?"

40 YEARS STUDY

"I've spent 40 years in astronomical study, and 20 years of that specifically in Satellite Systems study. I have a University chair in three major Universities and sat on 5 different governmental committees on Space Exploration. Hell, I wrote a research paper on the Lunar Landings that took 18 months to research, then a further 3 months just to proof-read." Steven pauses to scratch his head. "Yet not once did it occur to me to wonder who filmed Armstrong as he stepped onto the moon. How could I have been so dumb?"

BRAINIAC

"I gave a seminar on it in at the 1979 Space Exploration and Planetary Science Conference at Oxford before 200 experts in the field. Yet not one of those dumb-asses thought to stick up a hand and tell me about the deadly Van Allen belt. I suppose we really should have just stayed at home, watched TV and drunk beer, just like Carl Wilson. He sure is one brainiac!"

TOTAL MORON

"I mean how freaking stupid are we!? All those years of study and not once did it cross my mind about how hot the moon was. What am I, a total moron?"

STUPID

But Prof. Stevens is not alone. He is just one of literally thousands of supposedly highly educated men and woman fooled by this blatantly obvious hoax. Take Dr. Hitomo Tsujimura, a geologist with 24 years experience in rock formation and planetary techtonics. Dr Tsujimura examined lunar rock samples as part of her original doctorate studies in Japan . Since then she has gone on to become a foremost expert in lunar rocks, lecturing across the world to students and enthusiast alike. But now it seems her life-work has been nothing but a sham. "Now I am feeling very stupid," she says, speaking from her 200 million Yen research laboratories in Tokoyo. "After all those years of tests I did on the rocks I could have sworn they were from the moon. I spent years getting samples from NASA, but now I realize I could have just made my own in the microwave! We're shutting this place down next week. We may have 20 trained scientists at work here with the very latest in technology, but we couldn't spot a cow in a bunkbed. We are soooo stupid! Already 5 of the staff have committed suicide through the shame of it all. It is very bad."

So... (straying dangerously on-topic here)... Mons Olympus would have to be a real eye opener huh?

Lisa: Mom! Dad! Look, this biography of Peter Ueberroth is only
99c. And I found the new Al Gore book. [holds it up]
Marge: "Sane Planning, Sensible Tomorrow."
Lisa: Yeah, I hope it's as exciting as his other book, "Rational
Thinking, Reasonable Future".
Bart: I'm getting this book on UFOs. ["Unidentified Flying
Outrage!"] Did you know they're real, but there's a huge
government conspiracy to cover it up?
Lisa: Oh, that's just a paranoid fantasy.
[the man runs Lisa's book over the scanner]
[a signal travels down through the scanner, over wires, to a
satellite dish, up to a satellite, and down to the Pentagon]
[a man in uniform grabs a printout and dashes off to the White
House]
Officer: Mr. Vice President! Someone finally bought a copy of your
book, sir.
Al Gore: Well, this calls for a celebration.
[puts on a Kool 'n' the Gang record: "Celebrate good times...
"]
I will.
-- Celebrating sanely for a sensible tomorrow, "Grampa vs. Sexual
Inadequacy"



From his treehouse, through a telescope, Bart observes men chugging the
tonic and running indoors to their female partners.

Bart: OK, it's not _painfully_ clear the adults are _definitely_
paving the way for an invasion by the saucer people.
Milhouse: You fool! Can't you see it's a massive government conspiracy?
Or have they gotten to you too?
[he and Bart start wrestling]
Lisa: Hey! Hey, hey, stop it! Stop it! Why are you guys jumping
to such ridiculous conclusions? Haven't you ever heard of
Occam's Razor? "The simplest explanation is probably the
correct one."
Bart: [condescending] So what's the simplest explanation?
Lisa: I don't know. Maybe they're all reverse vampires and they
have to get home before dark.
Everyone: Aah! Reverse vampires! Reverse vampires!
[Lisa sighs]
-- "Grampa vs. Sexual Inadequacy"


In the treehouse, the neighborhood kids try to figure out what's up with
the adults.

Bart: So finally, we're all in agreement about what's going on with
the adults. Milhouse?
Milhouse: [steps up to blackboard] Ahem. OK, here's what we've got: the
Rand Corporation, in conjunction with the saucer people --
Bart: Thank you.
Milhouse: -- under the supervision of the reverse vampires --
Lisa: [sighs]
Milhouse: -- are forcing our parents to go to bed early in a fiendish
plot to eliminate the meal of dinner. [sotto voce] We're
through the looking glass, here, people...

MOON LANDINGS WERE HOAX!
The world was shaken...."

OK Steam - sorry I gotta ask why you quoted that article - curiosity and all that got the better of me as its hard to tell.
Do you actually believe the article is real and intended to be read as fact or are you just winding people up?

[scumdog]

So... (straying dangerously on-topic here)... Mons Olympus would have to be a real eye opener huh?

More temporary off-topic stuff:
Well actually your 'eye' would have been meant to fit inside it so no, it would not be an eye opener.

[imdying]

Do you actually believe the article is real and intended to be read as fact or are you just winding people up?

Of course he believes it's real!!!!
