Landing on the moon a hoax?

I'm in class right now I have one person on my side, the rest of the class is saying that us landing on the moon is a hoax? Is this true? I'm sure we landed in 1969 if it's true could someone link to a site proving?

 

What class is this--Conspiracy Theory 101?

 

It's not a hoax. Ever been to KSC? It's really an awesome place and I highly recommend it.

star17 works at KSC...he will I'm sure be able to give you some concrete proof that we did in fact land on the moon.

 

I love listening to the "Conspiracy Theories!" Some are compelling and some are waaaaay out there!

Here is a site for conspiracy theorists: The faked Apollo landing

And, here is a site debunking their claims: MoonHoax Debunked

Both are interesting reads . .. .

 

Real

 

They should imprison and torture these idiots who come up with conspiracy theories.


That's why they are called "theories". Because they aren't based on fact.

 

I long ago got tired of having to "explain away" the moon landing hoax bit; this is the age of skepticism, one believes what they want to believe. You can take any historical event and show it on The History Channel and then on a Fox Special, and it's no wonder half the people don't believe a damn thing anymore. A little remedial science is all that's needed to debunk the hoax sites.

I'll just leave it at this: at the height of Apollo, more than 390,000 people worked on the program. If it were fake, I don't know 10 people that can keep a secret, much less 390,000.

 

Columbus discovering America was a hoax. We're all actually living on a big lot in Italy.

 

The most appalling one I have heard is that 9/11 was a conspiracy, or so was JFK getting shot.

 

See? You agree with me! It was a hoax! Note how many pizza joints there are in "America", and how popular spagetti is. This is significant!!!

Yeah, Columbus wasn't the "first" by a long shot, and Caribbean islands aren't quite the mainland. But "discover" doesn't just apply to whoever is first. Boys usually discover girls around puberty, anybody can discover a good restaurant that "nobody" knows about, different groups have discovered the same things independently all through history.

The biggest significance with Columbus is that his was the first group to set up shop and start selling tickets.

 

I've heard something about that in the news, but I can't remember the exact details. They were just stating that the video footages that were supposed to be the evidence that men already landed there are just hoax.Why?For instance the lightning effects, it can be determined through the shadows of the gadget(I don't know what they called that thing) that were also present in that video. There were a concrete explanations in that news that I can't really remember but they have supporting evidences.

 

Well, Polo brought back the noodles. The sauce is what made it spagetti.

 

Well if it was, it must have been pretty darned good, as I remember witnessing the launch in person (yep, I was one of the peeps watching the launch, even though I was only 10 at the time).

I also remember ducking under the rope and climbing into the Command module capsule in the Space Museum. (And yup, I got yelled at real quick by the Guard, but it was worth it, LoL!) Pretty small inside, makes ya wonder how they managed to fit three guys and equipment in there.

Then there in the Lunar samples. Not to mention the fact that it was done again another five times - so it wasn't exactly a one off fluke.

The Conspiracy brigade like to point out that some photos were retouched, so that must mean the whole thing was faked. I just tell them "Excuse me, but they were Puplicity photos - meaning they were supposed to be retouched to look better" -DUUH!

 

On a lighter note

Uh, no

But it is funny

The latest conspiracy theory is that Bird Flu is a Zionist plot.

Why do the poor Jews get blamed for everything?

 

Well, not everything. They get blamed for anything that can't be blamed on Bush, Big Oil, or the evil Military/Industrial Complex.

Why? A combination of prejudice, ignorance, and stupidity.

 

It's either the Jews fault, or Americas.

Imagine if you are an American Jew?

 

I remember that first moonwalk like it was yesterday.

I think it was a sunday and we were working out in the barn, fixing some pens and I was freaking out cause the broadcast was about to start and Dad kept telling me we were not going in till we were done, and then Mom came out and said supper was ready and winked at Dad and I knew it was on tv.
