look at this clip. It's supposed to prove that the moon landing was filmed in a studio. I did some research after that recent thread that had something about the moon landing being fake, and i found this. whether you believe the theory or not, its still funny as hell.

Many people, normal people and conspiracy nuts alike, believe that we didn't really land on the moon. We've all heard the points to support the case-- the US flag moving despite the fact that there is no wind in space, etc.

Here's where I got the clip from, along with some background info that is supposed to prove the authenticity:

I'm not saying the clip is true, it may be for all I know, all I have is the word of that site. (in other words, no absolute proof.) The clip is probably fake, but I have no proof of that either.

I used to believe that we must fight the future, lest change come without our consent. I was wrong. The truth is that we must embrace the future, for only with change can we remain the same.

whatever, I posted the clip b/c it was funny. That doesn't mean I believe it.

Considering some of the conspiracy theorists go as far as to claim that NASA murdered people, including the Apollo 1 crew, to keep it a secret, I have trouble laughing at their idiocy.

That aside, yes, saying we didn't land on the Moon is utter tripe. It's about as bad as the wackos who claim that Titanic was switched with her sister ship as part of an insurance scam.

well, yeah, I didn't notice that. Who cares? it's still funny.


I also heard that a bunch of gray-skinned aliens sank the titanic by moving an iceberg into the way.

Well, it's plausible to think the lunar landing was a conspiracy. We were at the height of the Cold War, and it was a race against the Russians and Americans. If there's one conspiracy that actually makes sense, it's the moon landing.

No it isn't. Not at all. Nada. Zip. Zero. It was easier to go to the Moon than it ever would have been to fake it, since that would've involved fooling tens of thousands of contract workers, NASA employees, astronomers (not only American), launching Saturn Vs without their payloads to fool everyone witnessing the launches.....

Again, it's just not possible for it to have been faked.

It's listed on imdb as a comedy. Makes sense.

Ever since we had that one astronaut (Buzz Aldrin wasn't it?) punch out a conspiracy theorist after he tried to get Buzz to swear on the bible...well I just laugh at any of the conspiracy theories.
He could've said "no comment" or something, but he did what anyone would've done if they had that much passion for something they did, but everybody called it fake.

------------------
"We came, we saw, we conquered, we...woke up!"

Buzz punched him (I refuse to give his name, since, as they say, *any* publicity is good) because he was being harassed mercilessly. If I recall correctly, he wasn't fined for the incident since he was provoked.

I'm sure they've attempted similar things with Armstrong, but he's a very private person, so it's not easy to get anything out of him. Chances are he ignores all of the conspiracy theory nuts.


-Fox

There was a time where people were killed for calling people liars or frauds.

If someone told you that your life's work - the culmination of all your hard work, schooling, and dreams - was a fraud, and challenged you integrity, specifically the value of your own word (that is asked to be backed up by God with a Bible) in the process, would you be able to hold back? And more than once? I too, can't say I blame Buzz.

Steal my dreams and sell them back to me.....

I came to love Buzz greatly on that day.

Conspiracy theorists, most notably the ones from that site you linked, seem to have a problem reading the fine print.

Edit: Upon further research of internet conspiracy sites, I came to the conclusion that either most conspiracy sites are run by those who are completely daft, or are trying to sell you a bad $20 documentary. One site started out very serious, then linked to that very footage, stating that was their #1 reason for the moon landing being a hoax. Apparently they didn't click on the other link that explained it was fake.

that would be because it is a satire. iif you watche the end you see peopes reactions after they were told that it was for a joke documentary.
