Moon landing - Fact or fake?

[Usarka]

At the end of the day, the only people who can be completely 100% certain that this took place are the people who were directly involved.

Sure the odds may be one in three million that it was faked. but most of the population spend hundreds if not thousands of dollars every year chasing longer odds than that!

if any of you firm believers buy lotto tickets then your just as bad as the conspiracy nuts.

how'dya like them logics!

Whilst eating my cucumber sandwiches at the flat earth society, i pondered on a few things......

The americans wouldnt lie to us eh?!
Howard hughes really was mining for manganese in the pacific eh? not doing a salvage job on a russian nuclear submarine?
The US government wouldn't lie to us about it testing nerve gas, radioactivity, and germ warfare on its own american cities would they?? They don't lie to cover up hugely important events do they?

food for thought.......... now where's my other sandwich........

I guess we'd better rule-out D-Day then, as only the people who were directly involved know 100% for certain.


That's a cop-out.

Find some fact that would have prevented Apollo, or
Find some technology they didn't have then that you can show they'd have needed, or
Find some actual proof it was faked, or
...admit the odds are zero.

Incorrect, sorry. the Russians were not involved - in fact, they were in a state of detente called the "Cold War" with the USA at the time. A fact that the conspiracy theorists like to point out as the reason that the USA "faked the moon landing" - "they had to appear to beat the USSR to the moon, so they faked it".

Funnily enough, NASA was not the only people on the planetcapable of receiving the transmissions from the Apollo missions. In addition to the USA and its allies and partners, the Russians were also capable of monitoring the transmissions.

Know what else you can do with radio transmissions? Especially if you have a large expanse of territory under your control like, say, the USSR?

You can triangulate and pinpoint the origin of the signal. So the Russians knew that the US had landed on the moon.

But of course, the whole Cold War (on which the conspiracy theorists base the reason for the hoax) was fake and the Russians were in on the great conspiracy to fake a moon landing make them look bad, and they let the US win the fake Cold War...

My dad was at Normandy on D-Day, he told me a story or two. Also, my grandfather was in the trenches in WWI, his stories were also interesting. They're both long gone now but it was insightful having such people right at your side when the info rolled out. They had nothing to gain by pulling the wool over anyone's eyes.

Gravity is a big myth too... the earth just sux.

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

It was a right cross, technically a bad move, he should have jabbed with his left and followed with the right cross and finished him with a left hook!

I thought every astronaut would know that.

Maybe the skirmish was a put up job!

Quite right (sic), I used to live with a boxer and what he taught me in five minutes was worth gold.

Yes, every astronaut does know that, so it's yet another subtle coded signal that he never went into space. He's obviously trying to let it slip out to those who look closely enough. SO OBVIOUS!

[Curious_AJ]

my two cents on this...

meh, it doesn't really matter to me whether they did it or not... if not, then all the power to them for fooling so many people.. if they did, well all the power to them for achieving something like that.

Domestic violence is never right.

The very thought of human achievement upsets most dead beats.
