Yes. The only people that believe otherwise are ill-informed, in denial, or idiots. Every supposed piece of evidence suggesting it was a fake, every one of them, has been debunked. I challenge anyone who believes it was fake to find me some kind of evidence, and I will give you a real explanation for it.

No, because Louis Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were FTM transsexuals, and I don't consider that to be actually male. :colbert:

You can see the mooncar on the moon with a decent telescope.

Plus there are mirrors placed on the moon to help calibrate telescopes or whatever. Be kinda hard to fake that when there are people who have to use them every so often.

i know for a fact man landed on the moon in 1969... really screwed up my vacation

Man secretly landed on the moon in the late 40s. The '69 landing was forced to return home empty handed by the sudden appearance of Ze-I mean Moon Nazi spacecraft.

We didn't land on the moon in 1969. With 60s technology, the astronauts would have suffocated to death. Also it was very easy to create a fake moon-like setting to "land" on with help from Hollywood. Furthermore, if they had gone to the moon back then, don't you think the astronauts would have suffered from some kind of space PTSD afterwards due to the insane distance from earth? Yet they seemed fine in interviews.
Looks like we're not going down after all, so nevermind.
2008-08-28, 12:17 AM #18
I am skeptical as to whether or not we actually landed in '69, but I've no doubt we landed at least some time since. But really, I don't much care.
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

I understand how aggravating conspiracy theorists are, especially when their stupid ideas start to spread throughout the general population. But the moon landing conspiracy is a wonderfully charming thing and I hope it lives on, if only for the fun of it.

We did land there, though. It's the aliens they found that's the cover-up. :tinfoil:

I think we should go back to the moon and find out if we left anything.

:colbert:
nope.

Are you being serious?

I can debunk every claim made by moon-landing conspiracy theorists (much like I can debunk every claim made by Creationists. I'm better at Creationists, though!), but I'll save my efforts in the optimistic hope you're joking. For one, it certainly wouldn't be 'easy' to fake a moon-landing with 60s technology (it isn't even 'easy' to fake it today), it'd be more difficult and more expensive to fake it than it would to actually do it.

And that's without the tracking data from OTHER COUNTRIES that followed them all the way there...

I enjoy reading conspiracy theories as much as the next bloke but...

about the only thing more entertaining than moon landing conspiracies are the 'freemasons are taking over the world!' conspiracies. :carl:

The alleged photographs of the Earth taken from the "moon" depict a sphere-shaped Earth. Since Earth is actually flat, these photographs are obviously fake, which proves that the whole thing was a hoax.

The Mythbusters are frauds...the government wouldn't have allowed a REAL investigation to be broadcast, obviously! This show is plop.

I believe the moonlanding did happen, but the laser experiment was the only remotely convincing test in that episode of Mythbusters.
2008-08-28, 4:27 PM #34
Well, they weren't trying to prove we landed on the moon. They were just trying to address the specific arguments made by conspiracy theorists, and if you hadn't heard those arguments then the episode wouldn't make much sense. There are ****ing loads of them, all concerning tiny details on the photographs (my favourite is the picture of a rock supposedly with some numbers on it, which is supposedly a reference number for the prop department) and the episode debunked the most prevalent ones.

Mythbusters does precisely what it says on the tin. If it came in tin form.

Haha yeah, the "letter C" on the rock that is a prop designation. No one designates props like that. It's actually just a hair that got stuck during printing, the original NASA negatives don't have it.
